The intelligencer., 1888-06-16

was so short the audience was surprised when
they left tue stage.
Piano duo Marcho TriumphaIr, . Sulirr
by Misses MISSES Moore and Lash, WAS unu-
sunlly good. Each part was il piano solo and
the chording was perfect, requiring the
utmost precision la time. They have GER
tainly had much practice. for the work was
very rapid. and not single discOrd or break
in time could be detected. They were re
warded with several handsome bouquets.
and they were recalled. 1t was one Of the
best Instrumental pieces on the long pro-
gramme, where all were good.
Vocal sOlo-'Bocchina. (BencdiCD, 10y
Miss Frank Moore. showed that she had =
good strong voice, easily capable of filling "a
much larger room. Her selection was well
calculated TO take WELL and to show The COM
pass of her voice. She was forced to return
by the lOng-c0ntiHued applause, and sang
another selection, better, in many respects,
than the first. This WAS enthusias sticaily ap-
plauded, and an effort was made for the
second encore. Her power of holding ON 10
high nOIes was well exhibited and greatly
appreciated.
Piano sOlO-"BonnIc Doom and Bonnie
Dundee" (Pape), was never better played
than on this occasion, by Miss Clara Johnson.
She is young girl, but her skill is remarka-
BILE. The selection was splendid one, fall
OF music, with enough operate IN il 10 show
the skill of the performer. la many places "a
delicate touch was very important factor,
anu she exhibited this in very great de-
| gree. II has been long time since We have
heard piano solo so pretty. She won new
| honor for herself, and reflected mulch credit
| upon her teacher.
Miss Annie Mccoy recited "TOo Late for
the Train," in u manner chat kept her audi
| ence wide awake. She talks with her eyes,
| her mouth and her hands. Her changes of
voice from masculine to feminine were sure
| enough changes. We could see the old man
in.his excitement and wrath the little woman
on the train, throwing kisses at him. Her
gestures were graceful, and the whole recila-
tiOn WAS delivered with an energy that won
her great praise. She was recalled and
made bow. Then she was vigorously called
back second time, and recited another piece; :;
| but still the audience was not satisfied and
made long effort to bring her to the front
again.
| "Annie Laurie" that old favorits, was sung
IN manner TO make 1t still more popular by
| the quartette, Misses Moore, Cant, Lloyd and
Smith. The soft, voce chording Is some
what new, but Is rapidly becoming popular.
When well done II adds to the beauty of any
song. This was well done. More than that,
it seemed that each one was singing the song
independently OF the Others yet the chOrding
was perfect. They seem to sing togetht r
more from love than for practice. Whatever
they sing Is well sung. They were cncored,
and returned bow. The audience would
have gladly listened to them again.
request WAS sent up for Miss Rosa
Gehner TO favor the audience with u repeIi-
tion of her piano solo of the night before
She complied, and won unstInted praise from
the audience. We have mentioned her very
superior performance heretofore in the con
cert.

(Rubinstein), was given by Misses Anderson
Rosegrant, Clemmens and Lesueur In ,

where the least break In time would carIs,
confusion. II Is, In some paris, quite rapid
, and gave the young ladies chance to show
fine tinger-wOrk. The audience manifested
its approval by hearty applause.
