The Second Minnie Hank Con-
cart


Another programme rich with choice
musical gems was rendered at the theater
last night. by the Minnie Hauk Concert
Troupe The weather was fine, the au-
dence was very large, very discriminat-
ing, quite fashionable, and highly appre-
ciative. The singing Of the prima donna
was charning, and she displayed the same
facile and eloquent vocalization which was
so Justly admired on her first appearance
the night before. Her numbers on the
programme included The Vision Of Elsa,
from Wagner's "Lohengrin,p Ectert's
echo song, "All Lonely Now, My Flocks
| Tend and the love scene from the Sec
ond act Of Bezets Carmen" In response
to recalls, she gave Coming Through
the Rye and beautiful aria, never be-
fore sung here, from the opera Of Diana
de Solange." Signor Montegrifo appear
ed with the Signor DePasqualis in a duet
from Xerdi's Belisaria, and afterward in a
duet from Donizettfs LA Favorita,' with
Signorina Sail; also as Don joe in the
carmen scene. The duet was repeated
TO appease the enthusiasm its first rendi-
ton created. He also sang in trio from
Verdi's "Attila," number which was so
much admired on Monday evening. Sig
DePasqualis rendered selection from
Verdrs "Bal Masque,' and with so much
excellence that plaudits brought him
forth, when he rendered Figaro with
the same humor, briskness and vigor
which pleased the audience 80 on the pre-
vious occasion. Mr.. ConstantineSternberg
the skilled pianist, rendered LISTS Hun
garan Rhapsodia 0p.2 together with
"Fantasie" by Scherwenka, and selec-
ton from sylvia by Delibes. For encore
after the latter he performed another very
attractive number. Tho fair Signorina
Sail sung ut was Dream very sweetly
and appeared to advantage in the duet
and trio alluded to above. The
lady possesses rich vocal gifts
and she leaves pleasant i'm
preston after every appearance. She
| appeared in the scene from Carmen" In
company with Minnie Hauk, Sigs DePas-
qualis and Montegriffo In it, however,
! Minnie Hauk as Carmen was the real OBJ
ject Of interest. She acted with graceful
and dashing effect and showed deal of
abandon, while her superb voice embel-
| lished the whole with charm which
makes it easily understood why she has
won SO much praise az Carmen The
ToreadOr of Sig DePasqualis was vigor-
Gus rendition, though it failed to win that
favor with the audience which Figaro"
was accorded. II is perhaps hardly fair
~ make comparisons, but as the air has
been heard here several times in past
years, and the Signor's rendition gave no
new flavor unless It was that he invested
the action with better ehect-suited the
action 10 the music, as IL were. The
company have decided not 10 visit Little
Rock or jackson, Miss, and will rest here
for few days, at the same time appearing
In concert tomorrow night to dedicate
the Mozart Society new hall.
