The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-06-21


| ton by Miss Jennie Van Amringe, who took tne
| character of four mischievous children in very
| natural style. One OF the finest vocal numbers
| OF the evening was shelly's Resurrection,
| given by Miss Ferguson, who holds the prize
scholarship. This young lady has a good So
| prano voice, well modnlated. and OF sympa-
| thetic quality and was applauded with enthu-
| siasm. The violin solo of Mr.. Charles watson
| was given smoothly, and showed talent The
| recitation "Jerry," full of mingled pathos and
| humor, was excellently rendered by Miss Hattie
| Palmer, Mrs slauson's second scholarship pupil
Miss Palmer's imitation of the "Irish News
| boy was also well done. Next followed vocal
| duet, 'Ecstacy," by Mrs Porter and Miss
| Barnes. Mrs. Porter has highly cultivated and
very sweet soprano voice. and always delights
her hearers. "Aux Italiens," that ever popular
fancy Of Owen Meredith, was beautifully recited
by Miss Alice Carey, and the effect was
greatly heightened by the soft sweet
music from the Miserere of ii Trovatore
given by Mr.. Arthur on the violin.
Miss Carey's voice and gestures were excellent,
and the harmony delightful. 'Love's SORROW,
by Shelly, was rendered by Miss Carkeek, it
being that young lady's first public appearance
as soloist. slight hoarseness somewhat
marred the effect Of this very pretty air, and pre-
vented her grand, deep contralto voice from
being heard TO the best advantage; yet she fully
justified the expectation OF her friends, that she
will soon be found in the front rank OF Seatties
vocaiists. The next number was a novel intro
duction by Mrs Slauson, who read the Gam
ine,' by Longfellow, Miss Teaff. who wore
beautiful Greek robe Of cream color, giving with
out voice the gestures and dramatic action. Miss
Teaff possesses q dramatic talent far beyond the
average, and gives promise OF a successful career
in this line of art. OF Miss Arthur's violin solo
s1Le Menetrier" IL was remarked by one of Seat
ties best musical critics that "her playing re-
minded him of Camilla Urso' Miss Arthur is
concluded by an excellent rendition of the
flower song from "Faust' by Miss Barnes, which
showed this young lady's great range OF voice to
advantage. As whole, the first public recital
of the conservatory was . decided success.
