4 sig Audience Turns Out-An
Excellent Programme.
ho concert given at Kaumaka-
pill hurch last night drew out an
n3,a nee worthy of the occasion.
Ea= ompany was select in point of
quality, the Elect of Honolulu be-
ing there, and there were enough of
them to fill the house. This is the
first opportunity of the kind offered
in this city for some time, and the
public has shown a cordial apprecia-
ton of that fact, making of this first
concert such a success as the fine
execution of fine music always de
serves. The following is the pro
gramme:

Every number was well rendered,
and where all are deserving of praise
it is difficult to make Il selection.
Miss Louise Dale, the new music
teacher at Oahu College, is debu
tante in Honolulu-though certainly
no mere beginner. Miss Dale is an &C.
complished musician, and the fortu
nate possessor of a naturally lovely
soprano voice-which wants nothing
that training can give. Her voice
was under perfect control last night,
and her first number, Tell me
beautiful maiden" by Gounod, was
received with storm of applause.
The fair singer graciously responded
with an encore, "'Tis all that I can
say" by Pope Temple, which was
also warmly received. After the song
Winds in the Trees" the audience
were determined not to be satisfied,
and Miss Dale found the way
through the ear to the heart with
favorite old song-"Annie Laurie"
Miss Dale's bearing on the stage is
gracious and graceful, and Mrs.
Browning's praise to a singer is
fairly due her "Her looks sing,
too" Honolulu may congratulate
itself upon a valuable acquisition in
the person of Miss Dale.
Miss Wing, also Of Punahou, con-
tributed greatly to the success of the
songs by an admirably sympathetic
piano accompaniment.
The Hon. Paul Isenberg has not
been heard in public for some time
and he was warmly received. He
sang superbly superb aria by
Beethoven, accompanied on the
organ by Mr.. Wray Taylor,
and responded to q recall with
that affecting lyric of Goethe's,
one of the most beautiful in the
German, or any language, "Kennst
du das Land" the music, which is
worthy of the words, being com
posed by Schumann.
MIR. Wray Taylor is SO we'll known
to the Honolulu public that com
ment seems hardly necessary. 1t is
sufficient to say that his playing last
night was up to the fine standard
which he has long since established
here. Perhaps the number which
pleased the audience most was a
fantasia from several operas which
was very finely rendered. The
selection opened with a passage
from the overture Of Poet and
Peasant" by Suppe, after which
passages from Stradella and
Martha by Flotow were woven
into the stream of melody
Most effective, however, were the
romantic and sombre music Of l.
Trovatore, and the seductive melody
of the wedding march from Lohen
grin. The strains of the choral song
from the latter were played al
though heard from the extreme dis
lance, while the crashing finale wal
given with the full power Of thu
organ. -, ;, ~
stops open, was the signal for thu
audience to dispense. The streets
were muddy, and rain was falling
but it could not dampen an enthusl
asm born of good musician enthu
siasm which pronounces this frs
concert a most suspicious opening
of the series, and looks forward witt
agreeable anticipation to its sue
