THE GAMPoBELLo CONCERTS.
Another Brilliant EntertaInfmemt by
the Talented Company.

There was considerable improvement
in the attendance at the Opera Hous
last evening on the occasion of the thirt
concert by the Campobello Company
Nevertheless, the house w as not what i
ought to have been by any means
Those who were absent missed rare
musical treat. The audience was a most
enthusiastic one, and included number
of our leading citizens. His Majesty the
King, Her Royal Highness Princess Ii
iuokalani and His Excellency Governor
Dominis were present in the Royal box.
Concerts OF as high an order as that
| given last evening have not been num-
erous here. They are calculated to i'm
! prove the taste and enlarge the musical
knowledge of those who attend them.
The Misses Lulu, Pauline and Elise
Joran opened the programme with trio
for two pianos and violin, ''Jubel Over
ture," by Weber. 1t was played in
faultless manner and the young ladies
were compelled to respond to a recall.
Signor Lencioni, the buffo singer, has
certainly established himself as favor
lite, for he received a most fattering re-
ception on making his appearance. In
rendering an air, "u MatrimOnio," by
Donizetti, he gave further proof of his
ability to sing Italian buffo music. He
was encored. Later in the evening he
gave crying song with fine effect which
was also encored.
Miss Spring gave two numbers, 81
Dreamt That 1 Dwell" from Balfe's Bo-
hemian Girl, and "The Harp in the
Air." from Wallace's Mariana. Both
were given with much sweetness and ex-
preston and were redemanded. She
responded with the 'Blue Bells of Scot
land" and the "Last Rose of Summer"
Miss Lulu Joran gave group of piano
solos, "Arietta de Balletto' and 'The
Mill" by Joseffy, and an ''Impromptu,"
by Chopin. She interpreted the differ
ent composers in the most artistic man
ner. There is real pleasure in listening
to the volumes of pure and enforced tone
which the player draws from her instru-
ment. Her memory is as accurate as
her touch is clean cut. Difficulties do
not exist for her Chopin's music is
difficult to understand and is frequently
ill-treated by pianists. But as played by
Miss Joran it is the reverse. She seems
to realize the composers intentions and
so presents them to her audience. At
the conclusion of the first number
one of our well known musicians
was so highly pleased with the ar
lists performance that he had to give
vent to his feelings by calling out
Good" The young lady was loudly |
applauded, but did not respond. Her
accomplishments throughout the evening |
were Of the highest order. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that Miss Joran has not had
better piano to play on. The one used |
is an upright, and is certainly not in the
very best of tune, some of the unisons !
being long way out.
Signor Campobello gave that fine old
English song, ''The Village Blacksmith"
with rare effect, and later on sang 'My |
Sole Command" He was in excellent |
voice and received very cordial recep-
ton for his splendid singing.
De Beriot's 9Th air varie was played as
violin solo by Miss Pauline Joran. For
one so young her playing was a complete
surprise to the audience. She seems to
overcome all difficulties of mechanism,
and she draws her bow triumphantly
over the vibrant strings, which give a
pure tone. The performance was fol-
lowed with spontaneous burst of APP
plause richly deserved, and the young
violinist responded by playing in the
most brilliant manner, "The Blue Bells
of Scotland" with variations.
The Misses Elise and Pauline Joran
played duo on two pianos, 'Tarantelle,
by Heller, with such true artistic
finish that they were obliged to repeat
part of it.
All of the artists were recipients of
some most beautiful bouquets and bas-
kets of flowers.
On Saturday afternoon grand matinee
will be given at popular prices by the
Misses Joran and Miss Spring. We
would urge all parents to let their
children attend on this occasion, as it
will be lesson they will never forget.
