Last Friday evening the friends
and patrons of Prof. Emery were
treated to a most delightful enter
tainment. 1t was a rare treat in
deed.
He had arranged a musicale" by
some of his pupils and friends,
which showed their proficiency and
ability and gave great pleasure to
those who had the privilege of being
present.
The program was opened with an
instrumental piece on two pianos
and violin by Misses Edith Ely,
Lucy Gracey, Bette Click and Win
fired Emery and the professor-the
"Delta Kappa Epsilon March," 1t
was well done. The four young
ladies at the two planes kept "the
time" of the piece wonderfully well.
This was followed by a song from
Miss Stella Click, rendered in per-
fectly natural way, and was very
sweet. Her phrasing was clear and
distinct. Then Miss Robbie Luckett
gave us an instrumental piece on the
piano, which was played with spirit
and expression. We could see in her
playing the making of fine per-
former with perseverance and prac-
tice and the benefit of the professors
instruction. Then tine "Romanze,"
ON the violin, by Arthur Emery,
pleased the audience very much. A
lady, who is herself a good musician,
sitting next to the writer, said of
this performance: "How clear and
distinct he makes those notes." The.
instrumental "duo'- Belisario--was
a fine spirited rendering of Gorin's
music by Prof. Emery and Miss
Bertha Emery. The "Sancta Maria,"
by Miss Winifred, was thoroughly
enjoyable ekhibition of the young
lady's vocal power and culture. In
deed she has a sweet voice. The
"Como Galoys," by Miss Maggie
Bloch, was rendered with spirited
and careful execution that showed
good instruction. Little Miss Rosa
Poindexter, whose feet could not
reach the pedals from her seat on the
stool, and who has been taking in
strucuons only since last September,
played the LILLY Schottische" with
life and care. 1t was remarkable
and very interesting to see one so
small and young sitting at the piano
playing so well. Again the four
young ladies, Misses Ely, Gracey,
Click and Emery, at two pianos, as
sisted by the professor with his
violin, entertained the audience with
an admirable performance, "The
Midget" Mrs. Slayden, accom-
panied by her sister, Miss Russell,
favored the company with two
beautiful songs, and Sam Hodgson
also gave us two songs. OF course,
cit goes without saying" these
songs, rendered SO clear and sweet,
gave us great pleasure. They were
in good voice and did themselves
credit and their friends great salts
faction. The overture from EZRA
Diavolo," on two pianos, three
violins and the organ, was a rich
treat and thoroughly appreciated by
the audience.
In this musicale" the pupils of
Prof. Emery showed careful training
and did great credit to theft teacher,
as well as showed their work and
musical talent. Those of us who
had the privilege Of being present
give the professor, his pupils and
friends our unanimous thanks for
most delightful evening. We would
be pleased to have them Oftener.
There is great dearth of musical
entertainment in this city, and we
should strive to bring out more than
we have done the musical talent in
our midst for our enjoyment.
A LOVER OF GOOD Music.
