grand concerts by the Danz orchestra OF
fifty pieces. There concerts have proven
delightful treats to music lovers, and
the cordial manner in which they have
been supported by the public has en-
couraged Prof. Danz In his efforts to
maintain these musical entertain
ments of higher order than
usually appeals to popular taste
His endeavors met actually with
financial loss when few years ago he
first instituted series of similar
concerts, but the patronage has steadily
increased from year to year, and this
season the attendance has generally
been limited only by the seating capac-
ity of the hall. This clearly demon
StrateS that the professors perSever-
ance has gradually educated the public
up to an appreciation OF something bet
ter than what is ordinarily termed
popular music"
+ The programme for this afternoons
concertis really an excellent one, and
additional interest is created by the ap-
pearance of Mrs. II. n. Pomeroy,

A NEW PRIAfA DONNA.
The advent of Miss Anna Smith, the
great Norwegian colOrature Singer,iS an
event of more than usual importance to
musical Minneapolis. Miss Smith ap-
pin Avenue theater Wednesday even
ing, Jan. 30, assisted by some very fine
local artists. Miss Smith has sung in
nearly all the large cities in Europe,
and the critics have exhausted the En-
glish language searching for words with
which to express the wonder of her
voice. Her reception in Chicago was an
ovation such as one seldom sees nova
days. Speaking of her singing there,
the Chicago Herald says: miss Anna
Smith, the Norwegian prima donna,
sang Proch's air and variations, the
Aria du Mysoli' from the Pearl of
Brazil and in response to the tre-
mendous enthusiasm created by her
phenomenal voice and artistic method
sang Alabieff's 'NachtigalP and
valse. This artist improves with each
appearance. Her voice, with its great
range and sweetness, is more and more
captivating. She scored a brilliant sue
cess at her first appearance and becomes
more of favorite every time she is
heard. She came to Chicago unheralded.
She has won her triumph entirely by
her merit, and it is lasting one."
