The Hatton Club this year achieved
a concert. 1t was very successful and
gratifying one from every standpoint A
large and fashionable audience filed
Simmons Hall Tuesday evening to listen
to the efforts of their sriends on the plat
form. The stage was beautiful sight
1t was beautifully and profusely decorat-
ed with flowers and ferns, and the bright
lights and bright costumes of the singers
made a scene to be remembered. The
chorus was full, nearly every member of
the club being in their seats and NUM-
bered nearly fifty singers. The chorus
work was very good and showed to what
a remarkable degree Prof. Mcdowell had
control Of his singers This was shown
specially in the chorus, Sweet and Low, ;"
which is a very difficult thing to render
effectively. The most trying number was
the chorus, BY Babylon's Wave but
it was given with volume and delicaey
that were the greatest evidences Of Prof.
McDowell's genius as a leader.
Mrs. NJ. Q. Price has a very sweet voice
and uses it with care. Her selection,
San Old Garden, was well received and
ELECTED a very hearty encore,
Mr.. Jack Hughes is decidedly cat
home on the stage and very graceful too.
His ballad, 1.-Two Spoons" caught the
audience in the proper place and he re-
ceiYed a recall and an encore He has "A
rather light, but q very pleasing voice,
and uses it to excellent advantage
Miss Hearding sang very beautiful
selection and was very earnestly and
heartily applauded, but the piece had
tired her SO she did not feel equal to res
ponding with another song. She is a
beautiful singer and one whom it is de
light to hear Her work throug out the
evening stamped her as an artist
An intermission Of few minutes oc-
CURED just before the beginning Of the
cantata. The Jackdaw OF Rheims is one
Of Ingoldsby's legends set to music by
Fox and is one Of the brightest musical
skits on the market. The words of the
cantata in full were on the programme
and were followed by the audience. The
cantata went off with the same gusto that
had marked all the other chorus work
and the soloists rendered their parts Very
acceptably. Taking it all around it was
a decided success, financially and music
ally. To Mr.. Mcdowell is due great
praise for his skill and energy in carrying
the club through SO happy a termination
Of its work. Miss Jennie Blinn again dis
tinguished herself by her work on the
piano. She accompanied the soloists
beautifully and with excellent expression.
Her work on the cantata was also very
fine. 1t is very catchy music and varies
+r4atly, but every phase of the compos-
ers meaning was brought out in her
playing. It is to be hoped that the club
will Immediately determine upon a per
manent organization. 1t is o credit to
kenosha. 4~
