n Delightful Entertainments last
Night 10 y Small Audience.
1t was regretted by every one Of the
small audience present at the Opera House
last night, that the town generally should
seem to be in ignorance Of the truly
delightful entertainment that was offered
to the public. The performance was really
one Of the finest ever given in Eureka.
Hayden Tilla is unquestionably . first
class tenor, while Dora Viscinia is also
beyond doubt. an exquisite pianist. The
90 or 60 persons who attended the enter
tainment were delighted with 1t and will
youch for the merit Of the artists. II
seems hardly comprehensible that the
large number Of play-goers in Eureka
could have had any idea of the musical
treat offered, else they would not have
missed it. 1t would be q criticism on the
appreciation and taste Of the community to
presume that they could have been aware
OF the genuine merit OF last nights enter
tainment. 1t would be useless to attempt
to give any adequate idea Of the skill and
%eloquence Of the two excellent musicians
in . formal, hurried notice Of the pro-
gramme which they went through
with faithfully and earnestly, notwith-
standing the encouragement OF only
q handful Of persons to direct their pol
ished efforts to. Their music was CLASH
cally select and would have stirred to en-
thusiasm such a large and appreciative au-
dience OF musical people as Eureka can
turn out when assured Of an entertain
ment that is musical in the highest sense
Of the term. The lack OF an audience
last night was doubtless due to . great ex-
tent to the short notice given and the
want OF opportunity TO properly and fully
introduce the eminent artists vino are.
comparatively, strangers TO u people,
though Of wide reputation in the musical
world Of the country at large. The peo-
pie OF Eureka, having missed their oppor-
tunity once, will rave an opportunity this
afternoon and again this evening to show
their appreciation OF musical talent, and il
is expected that the pride Of our
lovers Of good music will guarantee
the artists Q full house each time,
especially a. the price Of seats has been
materially reduced to accord with the
pressure Of the times. There are but two
performers, but there Is no drag, no mo-
notony in the entertainment. Dora Wis.,
cinia, q charming lady in personal appear
ance, 10 an exquisite piAniste, having .
power OF execution and . delicacy and
firmness Of touch that are admirable, while
the expression that she obtained from the
inferior instrument rented for the occasion
was wonderful. and displayed fully her
power and skill. The rendition Of every
one Of her pieces was we'll received. "Min-
nie-ha-ha," her own competition, was q
gem, and was greeted with all the ap-
plause that the muscle Of the small
audience vas capable of. Hayden
Tills's singing of the "Muleteer" was
spirited and eloquent. His "Good-by.
Sweetheart, Good-by," sung by request,
was as sweet q bit Of tenor as We have ever
heard but his singing Of LET Me Like q
Soldier Fall" from the opera Of Mariana
was simply magnificent. 1t held the little
audience SPELL bound, and when the last
note melted away sweetly and grandly
there came a burst Of enthusiastic applause
that must have gratified the splendid
tenor. II you neglect the remaining op-
~portunities to listen to him and Dora
viscinis, you will regret it hereafter.
