Tire De Murska Concerts.
In our advertising columns will be found
the notice of the De Murska concerts, to be
given at Estival park next Sunday night and
the Wednesday night following. Of the
troupe the Dallas (Texas) Commercial speaks
as follows: Last night large crowd of the
elite and fashion were present to hear De
Murska, the Hungarian prima- donna. The
audience was present with the expectation OF
being delighted, and they were in no wise
disappointed. The concert began with
ballad by Mr.. Maxim, who has 4 magnificent
baritone voice. Signor Susinl, one of the
finest bassos that ever visited this country,
followed, and carried the house by storm
with the magnifcence OF his voice and its
exceeding sweetness. Then came the won
derful Brignoli; many heart thrilled when
he came before the footlights, for those who
had heard him before knew what q delight
was in store for them. His Good Bye, StOeet-
heart, was received with rapturous applause,
and merited all the plaudits given it.
But the revelation of the evening was
Mile. De Murska, graceful as a sylph,
sweet, pretty face, and in a hand
some attire, sheawas the cynosure of all eyes
when she appeared upon the stage and as
she stood awaiting the conclusion Of the over
ture on the piano. When she began to sing
the audience lost sight of her; they only
seemed to see before them profound en-
bodiment of melody, as the rich, sweet tones
of her voice rose and fell in rythmical har-
mony, filling all the room with its volume
and its sweetness. As her voice rose, in notes
as clear and liquid and rounded as the tones
of bell, into the upper register, the hearts
of her hearers seemed to stand still with en-
trancement. She is the peerless queen of
song, and when she sang The Street Bye and
Bye, so sweet, so soft and tender was it, that
thsre were moist eyes all over the house, and
her Last Rose Of Summer carried the fort.
