Lavished on the DAM Sunday Con-
cert Yesterday.
In silence most profound, and with
faces expressive of the deepest interest
and keenest enjoyment, listened the
audience at the Harris theater yester-
day afternoon, waiting with bated
breath Of the first notes of that most
divinely beautiful creation, Labitsky's
"Dream on the Alps" AS the witching
strains of the harps hoated dreamily to
the ears of the multitude. each delicate
tone Quivering sweetly ON the silent air,
the imaginative listener might easily
have fancied himself alone on the sum-
NIT of one of those Alpine hills, the sole
auditor of strains so Weirdly beautiful
as to seem rather of heaven than of
earth. There is grandeur in the crash
ing melodies of Wagner, an infection OF
gaiety and sometimes sadness in the
works of all the great composers; there
is beauty in each, beauty characteristic
of the school of the creator; but neither
Wagnerian grandeur nor the intricate
technical perfection of works by the
host of famed composers have the power
to touch the heart and bring tears OF
sympathy to the eyes of those who
hear them as does this vision
of the Alps by Labitsky. or
the success of the DanZ concerts
there has never been doubt since the
first of the series was given six weeks
ago; and yesterday afternoon, in the
face of binding snow storm borne on
the chilly wings OF cutting March
wind, 1900 people came to hear the in
terpretauions OF the works of great COM
poSers at the hands of the most capable
and best directed orchestra in the
Northwest. The stage had been beau
tifully decorated. Eyergreens and tall
ferns of the tropics ornamented the
front of the stage, and from above in
brilliant festoons being colOred lanterns,
each Disgusting with its gay cOlOring an
electric lamp. The favors shOwered on
Mr.. DAM as he entered, baton in hand,
were a factoring indication of the pop
ularity he has gained with st. Paul
music lovers. The first number on the
programme was the march somerset
(Wiegand). by the full orchestra. 1t
was perfectly played, and the applause
following the final notes, was dupli.
Gated after each successive number.
The Weber overture, ''FreiSchutZ, twas
followed by the "SymphOny Pastorale"
first movement Beethoven. Both were
given in a manner beyond criticism, and
received the deserved measure OF ap-
plause; but the eyes of the waiting null
titude were on the next number, Labit-
sky's Dream on the Alps" This piece
Mr.. DAM repeated by special request,
and the reception it received showed
that the desire for repetition had been
general. AS the last strain of the woll-
drously sweet melody died away on the
air there was momentary rustic and
murmur of satisfaction, and then ap-
plause so deafening and continuous as
to cause every person in the audience
to look at his neighbor in surprise that
his own Judgment OF the merit of the
Dream and its Interpretation should
be so universally followed. Paul kreu-
gers harp solo, "Blue Bells of Scot
land" had for its effect but to still fur
ther charm the audience and carry con-
victiOn of his perfect mastery of the once
favOrte instrument.
'''The Spring" (Grieg), by the string
orchestra, brought down the house
again, and the director was compelled
to repeatedly bow his acknowledgements
of the compliments rendered him. 1.-The
Awakening of the Lion" Ode KontskD
