A flne audience greeted the singers
OF Lewiston at their grand concert
given at the hall last Thursday evening,
ana 1t was pleased and delighted
audience that filed out of the hall at
the close of the entertainment. The
program was well selected. equal IN
variety and excellence, and well
executed. The stage even had lost its
old familiar look: and. under skillful
hands was draped in a more tasteful
manner than ever before. From the
opening chorus to the closing one, all
things went smoothly and we'll. Mr..
Monteith as manager deserves full
credit for the projection and manage
ment of the affair, and the success of
the entertainment Is due in great
measure to his untiring zeal and
earnest work.
The program, as can be seen below,
consisted of choruses, quartets, solos
and instrumental music 90 inter-
spersed and mingled as not to tire the
audience. The performers are from
the best talent in the town, and Lew
iston, after the success of last Thurs
day night, can we'll be proud of its ar
ray of musical artists. The chOruses
were we'll rendered, the last one espec-
tally where the voices blended beau
tifully and the spirit and action were
the best. Miss Coburn's "Alpine
Storm" won for the performer mer-
tied round of applause, and the instru-
mental trio which followed was excel
lent in its rendition and pleasing in its
melody. Miss Woods, In solo or duet,
has n pure and cultivated contralto
voice that is charming to listen to.
Her solo, Daddy" was well received,
while the duet with Mrs. Walker In
the second part of the programme was
beyond doubt the finest thing Of the
evening. Miss Saux at the piano
never makes a mistake and her solo
was given with touch and finish that
betokens a master hand. The guitar
trio was given so admirably that the
audiences would gladly have been
served by more of the same, but
Young America had hardly courage to
face both the music and the audience
the second time. The quartettes merit
the fullest praise. In the male quar-
tette, Kester's tenor and Thatcher's
bass were especially fine. Ed. Smith,
in his two solos, shows himself to be q
vocalist with voice Of wide compass
and full, rich tone. Mesdames fown
and Walker played a catchy and
sparkling duet on the piano that was
heartily applauded. Leslie Thomp-
son, in his comic selections, Is still our
ow n inimitable Leslie-never excelled
and always at his best.
Miss May Kettenbach has voice of
peculiar power and sweetness which
was lust suited in her selections for the
evening. The entire programme was
most excellent in character. Lewiston
audiences could be treated to many
another such entertainment with bene-
fit and pleasure. The following Is the
