the audience was held closely
to tie close, when the long pent-up enthusi.
asm found vent in round after round OF
bra, os and applause, which continued until
Prof. Vaas again took up his baton and the

attention and evident lessure marked the
conduct of the audience in the encore, and
when the final chords had been struck the
applause was almost as great rs before. The

scored great hit in this number, and the

''DoN JUAN"
The aria from this best OF Mozart's operas,
was sung by Mr. Carl Kausche in manner
which showed him to be fully entitled to the
splendid reputation given him BY the East
ern press. The orchestra accompanied the
vocalist, under the conductorship OF Prof.
Arbenz, and the Instrumentation afforded q
rich background for the magnificent tenor
voice. Mr. Kausche has voice powerful
but sweet and sympathetic, and his manner
and enuncistion are effective and clear.
When he had concluded, the audience broke
into a storm OF braves and applause, which
as continued for several minutes. Mr..
Kausche scored quite q triumph, and will
hereafter ELL warm niche in the hearts OF
our music loving public.

the prima donna of the Fest, whose appear

the audience, came forward to the stage
amid storm of applause. She was attired
in some creamy white material, cut en-

The accompaniment was not quite what
it should have been, but the
faults were barely perceptable, and
detracted little from the excellence OF the
vocalist's effort. Miss Hennengs' voice is
Of good range and of exceptional purity,
and met every expectation of the audience,
which was lavish in its applause when she
had concluded. Indeed the braves and
clapping of hands were so persistent that
he prima donna was compelled to return'to
