ems lutheran Church, in the churcl
building on Tatnall street. formerly III,
Household Of Faith Church The build
ing has been renovated and repainted
and fitted up for dedication next Sunday
morning as st. Stephens Lutheran
Church.
The audience was Of fair size bnt did
not ill the building. The concert was
very miritorious and the audience 60
pleased that an encore was demanded ~
nearly every selection. The acoustic
properties OF the room appear to be
sllghtly defective for singing At times
ehe voices seemed to have deadened eff

The voices in the opening duet are not
very well known, and it is not fair 10
Judge of their quality on one hearing
The duet was fairly given. The perform
ances of Miss Eugenia Lore and Miss
Caddie Cowperthwait show that they are
accomplished and finished pianists. Both
selections were difficult. but were PLAYED
with perfect time and technique. The
hast was followed by protracted applause.
and an encore was given. r. w. Wal
ters was in good voice His encore was
Annie O. the Banks O. Dee" The
duets, Come, Rise With the Lark. .
and Joys of Spring" were very
creditable. Those who sang are all very
well known in the city. The last selec
tion was probably the better one. Miss
Bertha Dills playing was remarkable for
one SO young There was nothing mech
anical about it, She has an excellent
touch and in expression her PLAYING is
most pleasing. As an encore she gave
"Pizzizapi.
Miss Florie Jackman's voice is light.
but of fresh and pleasing quality. She
pleased the audience so that an encore
was demanded. The male quartet. rem |
dered hosehat's difficult ''Forsaken
with good effect, but little expression.
Henry Baird sang "The Guantlet" ad |
mirably. Miss Lore played her solo with |
perfect smoothness ana abandon and as |
an encore gave Schubert's sTrau Meri. |
Mrs. Stowe was in her usual good voice |
and when recalled sang the "Trysting |
Tree. The piano and violin duet was well |
rendered for children, which fact was
more interesting than the performance.
Blue Bells of Scotland, " was the encore.
Little Daisy Robelen, hardly as high as
the piano, sang her selection with serious
enjoyment, and articulated so perfectly
that every word was understood. Tu- |
multuous applause followed her effort. in
recognition of which she sang Little
Tin Soldier The duet from Pirates
Of Penzance, was sufficiently well rem
tered to deserve recall.
Mrs. Florence Fisher accompanied Miss
Iackman and Mr.. Walters II. F. Robe |
en accompanied the others.
