OUR GERMAN SENATOR.
Those who were at Carlrs Opera House
last evening were much pleased with the per-
Torrance given by Gus Williams and his COM
pany. Since they were here before the play
has been improved. Mr.. Williams portrayal
of the retired brewer made Senator against
his will was fine piece of acting, and the
audience could hardly get enough of his
songs and recitations in the second act. His
support was strong. Mr.. Hudson Liston as
Judge Jere Spruce" and Miss Dora Stuart
as g Mrs Dinkel," were admirable, and the
other members of the company did what they
had to do well.
COMPLEMENTARY CONCERT.
Notwithstanding the extreme cold of last
fence gathered at the Atheneum to attend the
complimentary concert given to Miss Carrie
Phelps. AS the artistic of the occasion, Miss
Phelps, of course, claimed the chief atten-
ton of the audience. She appeared to most
advantage in the Rondeau from the stHugue-
nots." Being encored, she sang robin
Adair." At her second appearance Gin the
ballad Consistency" which was sung with
great sweetness she again received an en-
core. Miss Phelps has greatly improved dur
ing her stay abroad, and certainly is an ar
tiste of high merit. If in any respect her
singing calls for criticism, it is, perhaps, IN
this-the lack of finish in E and F of her
lower register. Mrs Robertson sang in her
usual happy manner, and gave as an encore
''sTwickenham Ferry" The duet louis est
Homo" was finely rendered and warmly APP
plauded Not the least feature in the even
ing's enjoyment was the recitation of Miss
Ingersoll, which was beautifully given. The
Yale Glee club enliyened the evening with
several college songs, and Cox and Box"
closed the concert, being received with
shouts of laughter. Mr.. Hay, who took the
part of Cox, appeared to be laboring under
the disadvantage of singing part too high
for his voice As whole, the concert was q
decided success and reflects great credit on
all parties concerned therein, Miss Phelps, Of
course, deserving the highest praise. Let as
not forget to mention Mr. Gustave Kobbe,
pianist of the New York Tile club, who adj
ded materially to the pleasure of the even
ing by his piano playing.
