The most striking opportunity given
the pupils was the classic posturins
in Greek costume by 10 young ladies,
the "Pictures of the PASSIONS" and the
SHOWING Tableaux" by the same.
The loose Greoian gown lends itself
readily TO the utmost freedom Of
movement, and thus affords opportun.
ity for the easist. most graceful poses.
And the young ladies entered into
the spirit of the affair with such
earnestness that they conveyed the
impression to on. lockers that trained
performers would. This impression
was, however, heightened last evening
by the fact that the "actors" were
well-known young misses, such a

Miss Chamberlain, Miss Beulah Riley,
Miss Lena White, Miss Rose Ellis

Little Volney Anderson, WHO rooted

which he was rewarded.

THE soLolsrs.
Miss Georgia Winters presided at
the piano, and the soloists therefore
knew that the accomplishments would
be perfect. This certainly proved Of
great advantage to them.
Miss Cramer played a selection on
the piano. She seems to be a natural
musician.
Miss Ella Ellsworth sang cloves
Old Sweet Song" She has a very
sweet, light soprano voice, and only
lacks training to become hoted.
Miss Mamie Harrington sang "The
Slave Ship" and, in response to an
encore, 1.-THE Old Grapevine SWING"
Neither Of these afforded any thing
like full scope to her voice. Any
operatio selection would, we think,
have been better and bettered. In
the first the young miss-for she is
scarcely in her teens-showed some
trepidation, as If she feared to face
an audience which expected much of
her. But when the generous applause
with which she was rewarded was
followed by an imperative encore, she
returned to the stage blithely, cheer.

She therefore sang much better. Be.

to her voice than is the other.
But Miss Harrington failed to do
herself justice last evening. That no
one will deny who heard her at the
first Hamill entertainment, 10 days
ago. She then rendered "a Serenade"

sentimental ballad, the second some.
what vivacious song. Her singing
was revelation. 1t revealed the
possession of a voice that a few
months cultivation such as can be
secured at the National Conservatory
in New York City, the New England
Conservatory in Boston, or any of the
older musical schools Of Europe, might
develop into one OF this most phenom-
email ever heard. Miss Harrington did
not finally conclude to sing at last
evenings entertainment until yester.
day. This, with the consequent lack
of practise and time for selection, is
