The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1888-04-28


the Methodist Choir last Thursday
evening at the school house, drew
out large and appreciative aud
fence. The choir had long been
drilling for the entertainment, and
the public were promised rare
treat, nor were they disappointed.
The concert opened with an ele-
CANT piano duet by Mrs. Olmstead
and Mrs. Scott, both of whom are
thorough and accomplished musi-
clans. Mrs. Olmstead then de-
lighted the audience with a very
pretty solo entitled "Who Can 1t
Be-" which was followed by a cor
net solo by Henry Dorman, ac-
companied by Mrs. Olmstead on
the piano, and was compelled to
acknowledge an encore. 1.-TWO
Merry Girls" an elegant duet by
the Misses Dorman was very finely
rendered and brought out rounds
of applause from the delighted
audience. Henry Blatchley's wall
for some one to love was simply
immense, and struck responsive
chord in the heart of every bache-
! lor in the room, but the response
caused the briny tide to course
down their manly cheeks in tor
rents. Miss Andrews made her.
self a favorite of the evening by
her excellent rendition of the solo
Under the Moonlight Skies"
Miss Andrews has sweet soprano
voice and sings with much express
sion. James H. Gwinn brought
down the house with zone Beat in
a Measure" 1t was very laugha-
bic and so well acted that most of
the audience were completely
''beet." Mrs. c. S. Scott and her
pupil, Miss Julia Cooper, then gave
an instrumental duet on the piano.
1t was one of the successes of the
evening, and alike reflected great
credit ON Miss Julia's musical abil-
ity and Mrs. Scott her instructor.
Mrs. Olmstead then enrapture6 the
audience with very pretty solo
and chorus, entitled "Drifting with
the Tide" Mrs. Olmstead has a
strong, pure voice, and sings very
correctly, her notes always being
absolutely perfect. Aside from
this her voice possesses a richness
that is charming She was re-
peatedly encored. Henry Dorman,
assisted by Mrs. Scott at the piano,
then favored the audience with an
other of his celebrated cornet solos.
Hank is a general favorite in must
cal circles, and always pleases an
audience. Mrs. B. T. Young and
Mrs. Olmstead then sang lovely
duet, with a cornet accompaniment. |
Mrs. Young possesses a strong,
clear alto voice which went a great
ways toward making the whole
concert the success it was. 1t is to
be regretted that Caldwell cannot
claim her all the time. Even as
Blatchley's song affected the bach-
eiors, so did the solo ''The House
Keepers Complaint" sang by Mrs. |
Olmstead, affect the ladies. The
only trouble with it is that it was
too true and too serious a subject
to joke about, so say the ladies.
Miss Andrews sang another very
pretty solo, and was obliged to &C
knowledge an encore. She was
followed by an instrumental quar-
tette by Misses Emma and JUNE
Dorman, Mrs. Olmstead and H. |
W. Dorman. Their playing was
grand and the audience was not
slow to show its appreciation. The
entire program was intersperced |
with selections by the choir, con-
sisting of Mrs. Olmstead, Mrs.
Young, Miss Andrews, III. N. Max
ey, g. E. Maxey, and J. H. Gwinn.
Mrs. c. S. Scott presided at the
piano, and soon convinced the aud
fence that the instrument was in
the hands of an artist. In the
farce Jimmy Gwinn covered HIM
self with glory as "Jones" while
Ed. Maxey made his debut as
"Snobbleton." 1t is safe to say
that were the farce to be reacted,
the character of "Snobbleton''
would bring high price in the
market. Miss JUNE Dorman made
a very bewitching Prudence Win
and acted her part adj
Taken as a whole the
concert was a great sue
cess, and clearly demonstrates that !
Caldwell has talent as we'll as en-
,erprise.
