DIR. A. e. Nichols was until last night
stranger TO the Honolulu public ex-
cept in his professional capacity. The
public will be only too anxious to i'm
prove an acquaintance SO auspiciousIy
begun, as DIR. Nichols is the possessor OF
rich baritone voice.
1t is long since Miss Emily Halstead
has been heard in public here, not since
her Punahou days, believe. She took
the house captive last night, the song
Diva Waltz being Enthusiastically the hit
OF the evening. In response to VERT
able storm OF applause, Miss Halstead
sang that well-known serenade from the
Spanish Student, so full of the poetry OF
passion-"Good night, good night, be-
loved, l come to watch DER thee" She
was accompanied on the piano by Miss
Anterior.
Prince Kawananokoa has the faults
of beginner. Fortunately these are
like youth-something that one out
grows. The Prince sang rather spirit
lessly, but he has a fine baritone of
much promise, which, if cultivated, is
destined to give great pleasure.
Mr.. Wray Taylor repeated, by request,
the delightful operate fantasia which
gave the audience so much pleasure at
the last concert.
Songs badly accompanied are as stale
and improbable as badly dressed
salad. The need of praise then due to
the accompanies, Mrs. A F. Judd, Mrs.
Bone, Miss Atherton and Mr.. Wray Tay-
lor, who did so much to make the sing
ing successful, must by no means be for
gotten when the final prizes of virtue are
distributed.
