FRED. WARDE AND HIS PLAYS.

The Albani engagement which will b.
beyond question the chief musical even
in our history since the visit of Patti
occurs Tuesday evening at the theatre; the
reserve sale viii commence tomorrow
morning, and while the double prices may
preclude any riOtOus demonstrations, there
is no question that the keen interest il
the event felt on all hands, will give the
treasurer d most lively day
Albani appears here with the company
of artists she herself organized for the
American tour; she has flown across the
country, hunting her stars everywhere, in
order that she might cover as much as pos
sible of the hitherto unvisited west. HeI
engagements in Boston and New York
were great popular successes; her appear
ance in Steinway hall, New York, in con-
junction with Herr Seidl's orchestra was
one of the most notable occasions Of the
season; that particular concert is thus
spoken of by the New York Press:
The fifth Seidl orchestral concert at
tracted an enormous crowd to Steinway
hall last evening, large proportion of
which had doubtless been enticed thither
by the announcement that Nine Albani
would appear for the first and only time
this season in concert. The programme
had other attractions, however. Herr Seidl
had no intention of relinquishing all right
to recognition, and had prepared a most in
teresting and attractive programme of or
chestral music that was glOriOusly played
by his band and won the approval it de-
served. A greater compliment he could
not have paid his sOlOist than by surround
ing her numbers by the choicest orchestral
works in his repertoire and performing
them in the noble manner in which he did.
The setting was worthy of the jewel.
Nine. Albani returns to US after an alb
sence of six years, looking somewhat
stouter than when she was seen in Colonel
MaplesOn's company, but otherwise I'M
changed Her voice is the same splendid
organ it always was, and possesses the same
magnetic charm. Her name appeared twice
upon the programme. Her selections were
the 'FreiSchutz' aria, ''PianO, Piano, " abd
Handers "Sing, Sweet Bird, = 'FRONT.' ALE
gro ct IL PeuSierOSO" In the former she
was particularly pleasing. The technical
difficulties of the Handel number giving
her more opportunity for t1Orid and ornate
execution than for the perfection Of easy,
flowing, graceful singing. No choice
could have been more felicitOus than
The "E'reisChutz" aria with which to
make her re-entree into the musical world
of New York. With the rareSt artistic
skill she sang, and with all of her old time
finish. Even a more perfect mistress OF
her art she may be than when she was heard
here last. Certain it is that such vocal per
fection has rarely been heard on our con
cert stage. Her audience sat IN aWed Sill
ence until the number was hnlShed ana
then twice, thrice, four, five, six times was
she recalled amid the widest enthusiasm.
Mime AIbani may well feel proud of her re
ception If it was noisy it was none the
less sincere and must have told her IN I'M
mistakable language of the high estlma-
tiOn and warm affection in which she Is held
by her New York friends"
The long expected popular organ recital
at the Tabernacle comes off tomorrow
night and beyond doubt it will be the en-
iOyable occasion which has been antici-
mated. The great house will be thrown
open free, and the only aim of the musical
people who are going to all the trouble OF
arranging the affair is to serve the cause OF
the divine art, and to give Salt Lake an OPP
portunity to see what the capabilities of
the great organ really are The doors open
at 80, the performance will commence at
s, and the gates will be closed at ol5.
Children in arms will not be admitted.
