ADJUSTMENTS
THE REMENYI CONCERT.


The lecture course was brilliantly inaugurated
RemeEyi concert troupe. The house, first and
second floors, crowded with the best au-
dience Indianapolis can muster, and the enter
tainment was thoroughly enjoy ed. Miss
Jennie Dutton has a voice of sweetness, power
and good cultivation. Her manner is easy and
winning. An encore deservedly bestowed was
honored with the ballad Somebody" which it,
self was worth a recall. Mr.. DeCelle has
voice of strength and purity,
nut his method is somewhat
crude In the passages requiring forceful ex-
preston. The ballad "Marie," given as an en-
core, was his best work. The closing duet be-
tween the Two vocalists was particularly brill
liant. OF course, Remenyi was the chief attrac-
ton. He and his instrument grow mellower
with age, and he was in particularly mellow
mood last night. He has many of the methods
and peculiarities of Ole Bull. His violin sings
Its songs into his ears, and apparently for him
alone He dallies with its strings, plays fan
tastic tricks in lingering and bowling. seemingly
Tor MS own amusement and as an old man
would toy with ana fondle a petted
companion; but the condolences between the
two make rich pleasure for those who adj
mitted into the sanctuary. When Christine Nils
son first appeared in Indianapolis she sang
''Suwanee River" so that the strains still chase
up and down the chords of memory in delicious
reverle; and il will be many years before one
can forget the Witehing beauty of the same bal
lad sung by the strings of Remenyi's VIOLIN 1t
was delightful concert, to which the accom-
PIANIST, Mr.. Adolph Bauer, contributed not lit
tie by mis- conscientious and discriminating work
at the piano. The next entertainment the
course will be Professor Swings "Ideai Novel,"
at Masonic Hall, Nov. 8, the reserve of seats to
begin at Pfattlln's on the 3D. instant.
THE M.ENNERCHoR CONCERT.
DOubters would have been convinced that
there is a strong appreciation of local musical
talent in this city had they attended the first
concert this season given by the Mannerchor
Society at their hall last night. The large au-
dlence was composed of representative people.
who manifested their approval of the various
numbers by frequent and enthusiastic applause.
The M8nnerohor will be forced to extend their
accommodations If such audiences continue to
attend their entertainments, for standing room
was IN demand last night. An enjoyable pro-
gramme was given, the overture being rendered
with excellent effect, and the cnoPouses, which
were new, given with much spirit and strength.
The single numbers were solos by Mrs. Phi.
Wuest, who repeated her former success; a waltz
song rendered with much taste and expression
by Miss Lotte Adam, and q pleasing solo by
Miss Laura Hessiing, who has sweet aud we'll
trained voice. Much success attended the en-
tertainment.
