h TEMPLE CONCERT.
A Grand Success.

From the Kansas City Times, March, l4.1
There has. probably, never been plac.
ed before a Kansas City audience a bet.
ter amateur performance-and indeed
very lew Professionalism that presen-
the benefit of .The Tsmple,p The
house was crowded from the pit, to the
gallery. and there were a number oblig.
cd to stand Tor want of seats. It was
such an audience Ms but rarely gathers
together, an audience that knew we'll
rendered music when placed before
them. No wonder then the actors felt
some delicacy in rendering their parts,
but each and every one of them was re.
csiyea with that hearty applause which
makes ore feel that thsy are at
home with their hearers and feel
ing SO gives additional power and
force to their efforts. The pro-
gramme was opened by, the Haydn
Quartette club, composed of Messrs.
Zimmerschied, violin; Smabie, viola;
Hulett, violin, and Winge, cello, render
ing Schubert op. 20, allegro in E fat.
The selection wa particularly well tim
cd and prepared the audience for the
feast Of music and recitation which was
to follow. Mrs. Foote and. Miss Madei-
"a in s'Trnst Her Not" brought down the
house. Mrs. b'oote. soprano. particu-
larly in the high notes, sang with re-
markable force. and. precision; while
Miss Madeira, with her sweet and. ex-
pressive alto, made the rendition of the
duet almost perfection. The audience
encored vociterously, but do the best
they could q bow, was the oRly return.
Miss Afleen March, in her t'RIrd Song"
convuised the house with laughter, and
as If ito show her power in working upon,
the passions of the audience with rendi.
ton Of an opposite sentiment, she. gave
''Conor" l n q manner full Of pathos: and
sentiment. and the audience listened
with such wrapt attention that one
could almost hear a4pin drop. III e
3. Mr.. Whitelaw in '.Man o. Warsman"
was very powerful, particularly in the
low notes. he hast very finely train
ed voice and his rendition is wonderfully
strong. He was encored, but made no,
response, evidently reserving his voice
Tor q later effort. 9 ,.t 4@,.ya7
/. Mr.. Reade in Henselt's OPP. 1. "Elisire
dAmore." an Instrumental piece, was
exquisite. His touch is beautiful and
the instrument carriedthe audience in a
pleasing manner. His effort was rewar.
ded BY long and hearty applause.
Dessaner's t'To Sevilla'' Just fitted Miss
Madeira's alto.land the audience: show
ed their appreciation by calling her out
three times and evenithen were. 10th to
allow her to depart in Peace.,.
Mrs. FOote next treatedth house to
Verdps aria and osballetta, ..Ah! lorse
lui." We have frequently heard this
aria, but never before have had a prop-|
er conceptions of its beauty. 1t WAS per-
lection itself. In what part it could
have been bettered We cannot say, I'll
seemed as il the audiences would never
tire OF oalliRg upon her, andlM Mrs. Foote
with her characteristics blindness answer
ed their encore twice, and even then the
people were unwilling to allow her to

The rendition of Haydn's andante from
"kaiser' next followed. and was SIM
ply magnificent in all It's parts.
Bales 'sSailor sighs," a duet. was
given by MISS MADEIRA and MIR. Ross
whose tenor voice is quite powerful, and
has been trained to great peliection.
Through tho delivery oithis the audience
sat entranced, listening. and following
every line with quiet PLEASURE The eli.
tort was, very properly, enthusiastically
enOOred. -.
Pinsuti's 81 Fear no Foe" was sung
BY MI. Smith with more than usual ef-
feet. He br0ught,down the house with
round after round Of most hearty ap.
His baritone voice was In re.
markably fine condition., and he made
the most of it. He tried his best to
make the audience satisfied with TINS ef-
fort, but fortunately was not successful.
he was not allowed to rest until he
had answered q third encore.
The ''Scene from Ingomar," by Miss
March, was rendered with such reality
and vigor that a stranger would we'll be
in believing he was l~istening
TO q well trained professional. The Sc
lection Is one that is particularly trying
to ones voice, but Miss March proved
the audience that she had undertaken
nething which she could not uccessful.
~ accomplish. A great deal Of aston.
ishment was expressed by many at the
natural and touching manner in which
the recitation was given. She was en-.
cored three times.
