MDLLE. ATI.ANTL-Our musical community will
be happy TO hear some pleasant Jews Of this en-
PERTAINING artistic, whose visit to our capital was
attended with so much success. a letter from her
has been received by a friend in this city, in which
she relates her experience in Australia, and says
that she Is travelling about the colonies. giving
serious and comic readings. with vocal and piano
music" She begins however, she declares, TO
suffer from nostalgy or " inconsistencies" and
speaks Of returning soon ria Honolulu TO the
States, where she contemplates making a proies-
sional tour so that the Hawaiian public may
probably once more enjoy the pleasure OF another
display Of Mdile Atlantis varied talents. The
Australian Press has spoken in very hattering
terms OF Mdlle Atlantis artistic abilities, and the
Melbourne Argus alluded to her entertainments in
the kindest and most complimentary way. An
adelaide journal says Then was a good at
tendance at Mademoiselle Atlantis entertainment
on Thursday evening, when she succeeded in
amusing the audience with her laughable readings
and songs for the space of two hours. The enter
tainment was varied in its character, consisting of
brilliant performances on the piano forte in addi-
ton to readings of a comic, seTio comic. and
pathetic nature, and occasional songs TO match.
AT times, the audience was cOnvulsed with laugh
ter, and the performances were frequently APP
plauded. The archness and jollity with which the
songs were rendered were fully appreciated"
The New Zealand Press is equally as compliment
tary to Mdlle. Atlanti as that Of Australia. The
Lythet0n Times says OF her +" THIS lady gave one
of her elegant drawing-rOom entertainments on
Saturday evening. at the Templar Hall, which was
well hlled. The entertainment was diversified,
consisting of instrumental and vocal music. inter
spersed with select readings. 1t is no light task
for an artistic, unaided, TO amuse an audience for
an evening, and the difficulty is enhanced when
the performer is n lady, as the fatigue consequent
upon the necessary eXertion must be great yet
Mademoiselle Atlanti successfully accomplished
this task, keeping the attention OF her audience
fixed from the beginning to the end. She is n
pianiste of very considerable ability. her instru-
mentation being distinguished by ~crispness aud
delicacy of touch. combined with brilliant execu-
ton. She possesses a meZzo soprano voice of
moderate power, sweet and flexible, and carefully
cultivated. She sang the great aria from " Robert
lie Dlable.1 with fine expression. also the pretty
ballad shells of the Ocean" and the arch
piqnancy with which she gave COMM thro' the
rye " was deservedly applauded. AS an elocu-
ZIONIST, Mdlle. Atlanti possesses talents Of no mean
order; she evidently enters into the true meaning
OF the subject she is reading. and has the faculty of
lniusing into her rendering that expression without
which the most correct enunciation falls fiat upon
the ear" After such fattering remarks. those of
our community who have not yet enjoyed the
pleasure Of assisting at Mademoiselle Atlantis
delightful entertainments, must very naturally feel
eager to witness her return even on a brief passing
visit to our islands while her old friends and adj
mirers here, of many Of whom she makes a most af-
fectionate remembrance in her letter, will, we are
sure, feel happy to welcome her once more TO
Hawaii nei. She has still with her her invalid
mother, TO whose care and comfort she is so de-
voted.
