St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1888-04-23
DELIGHTED BY DAM.
The Annual Benefit rendered the
Popular Director.


The benefit rendered Prof. Frank
DAM, the popular and well known mu-
sician, at Harmonic hall, yesterday
afternoon, resulted as predicted by the
GLOBE yesterday-in brilliant and
marked success. In point of attendance
it was far more successful than had
been anticipated by the most sanguine
well wiShers who were in charge. How
ever, the threatening weather had a
tendency to keep many away that would
otherwise have been present. The large
and appreciative music-loving gathering
was composed, for the greater part, OF
highly cultured and leading society
people in the city, who had availed
themselves of the opportunity afforded
them to manifest their appreciation
of the mastery work that Prof:
Frank DanZ, Jr., has accomplished
by hard and tireless labor in
Minneapolis. 1t may we'll be said
that the people who reside in the Flour
City have very peculiar ideas and ways.
This is manifested in the fact that for a
musician to win the admiration OF 50
large a circle of friends as has MIR.
DAM, he must first become eminent
and successful.
THE CONCERT
began at $3.50 O'Clock, and when the full
orchestra, consisting of some fifty MEM
bers, appeared OH the stage they were
met with grand ovation. The first
number was the "Jubelfest March," by
Strauss, and was rendered in very
creditable manner. 1t was followed
by the famous overture from Tam
haeuser," by Wagner. This was very
beautiful, and the melodiOus strain and
harmony of the orchestra reflected great
credit. The dance of death, 'Danso
Mocabre," was the third on the pro
gramme, and its regularity gave it
popularity, and it was repeatedly en-
cored. III. E. Zoch, the well known
piano soloist, was next, and by render
ing "COpriccio Brilliant" by Mendels-
sohn, accompanied by the Orcestra, was
given uprOarious applause from the APP
preciative audience. The next was
1.-The Demon" to which Frank DAM,
Jr., took the leading solo part and his
father Frank Danz, who, it might be said,
was the first to introduce music into the
Flour City, conducted the orchestra in
his old-time and graceful style: He was
given an ovation when he took his old
place by his many friends and admirers,
The feature of the entertainment was
the violin solo by beneficiary Frank
DAM, Jr. The selection that he chose
was "Fantaisie Caprice" by Mollen-
hauer, and was rendered in such an adj
mirable way that it was met with re-
peated demonstrations of approval.
After having been called back several
times he was presented with harp,
beautifully adorned with smilax and
natural flowers. 1t was presented by
the leading society ladies of the city as
a token of the high esteem in which he
was held. The concert concluded with
Hungarian Rhapsodie," by List. to
which Prof. G. johnson played the ac-
compartment. 1t was, with no eXcep-
ton, the most brilliant local musical
event that ever occurred in the city.
