MONDAY EVENING CONCERr

MONDAY EVENING CONCERT
Fise Entsrtainasst as ZslIsr's Cosssr-
vat0fy.
The ninth Monday evening concert at
Zeller's Conservatory Of Music attracted
a large 1udience to that place on East
King street last evening, the main room
being crowded, and failing to accomO-
date the large throng of visitors. The
character OF the entertainment was of the
usually high order, Prof. Zeller's pupils
displaying perceptible improvement and
proficiency that were not less gratifying to
the patrons of the institution than to the
professor.
Among the notably worthy features of
the excellent programme were the per-
formances of Miss Bessie Spencer, of Miss
Flora Cochran, and of Miss Brittle Davis,
whose execution Of the difficult compost
tiOns assigned to them was distinguished
by extreme brilliancy and accurate finish.
Miss Halle Bechtold's sweet and rich So
prano voice was heard to great advantage
in two exquisite songs, and contributed
materially to the pleasure Of the evening.
All the performers indeed acquitted them
selves in a creditable manner and the
programme entire is given below

EDITORS INTELLIGENCER-Ifm manners
form, as one writer asserts, the cloak that
virtue wears when it goes abroad, then
virtue appears in public very often with
out such a garment, and this circum.
stance is never more noticeable than at
musical entertainments. Why certain
people 90 to concerts will always be some.
thing of a mystery since they pay no ut.
tention to the music and their cOnversa-
ton could he moro conveniently carried on
elsewhere. At the CarrenO concert given
at Fulton hall recently the enjoyment Ol
those who really desired to hear the per.
formance was seriously marred by the
hum of conversation that went OF most OF
the time. 1t was almost impossible to at.

At Professor Zcllcr's concert last evening
the talking on the part of some Of the
audience became so loud and annoying
that the professor was obligated to take

Sllbdued tones
1t is selfishness that Causes this evil, ono
is driven to conclude. Surely every per.
son who is not wholly regardless of the
feelings of others must know what all an

ried on by an audience duringa public per:
formance. In the first place it is mark
ed discourtesy to the performers, as hard
ly any ono needs to be told l.; and in the
second place it shows, on tho part Of those
who indulge in it, 4 thorough disregard
for the comfort Of those about them who
have come for the sake OF listening to the
performance. In any case it is an cxhibi

Perhaps no one city is guilty above another
in this matter of public courtesy nut,
however, this may bc, there can be Nc
doubt that in this particular Lancaster
audiences have much to learn.
