fully manifested by the applause when he made
his appearance and waved his baton to COM
mand the attention OF his force, and the control
he possessed over his musicians was proved BY
their perfect obedience to his movements. In
the Raymond overture. with which the pro-
gram opened, there was observed precision and
unity of work that was highly comm IN dable and
indicated the careful rehearsals that had been
given. The Haydn symphony in G, which was
one of the mostambitious compositions that the
orchestra has attempted, was well performed
and clearly showed the capacity Of the organi-
cation to properly interpret works of the Sc
verest order. Two movements Of Schubert's
ballet music of "Rosamunde" confirmed the sat
lsfaction experienced In that which had gone
before, and the "Blue Danube waltz COM
pleted the work Of the orchestra. The appear
ance of Miss Leonora Won Stosch in her first
violin solo, Sarasates "Ziguener Wiesen," was
the signal for an enthusiastic welcome and
when she finished the demonstration WAS even
more pronounced The favorable impression
this young woman created when she made her
first appearance in this, her native city, after
her return from Europe was confirmed and
emphasized by her work last night. She proved
herself a thorough artist and brilliant future
is predicted for her. Both after her Sarasate
solo and when she had finished her Wieniwoski
numbers she received such prolonged applause
that she was obliged to respond to the demand
for more. Miss Leta Stakely was the other
soloist and sang the Indian Bell song from
Lakme with excellent effect, getting q deserved
encore. Miss Lolita Mills was the accompanist
and performed that difficult task in q cpmps-
tent manner.
kERNAN's LYcEUM THEArER.-Eva Ray HAM
llton, whose name is familiar to all who recall
the sensation in which she was the chief actor
has proved highly acceptable card to the
Howard Big Burlesaue Company, the attrac-
ton at kernan's Lyceum Theater next week.
She was engaged by Miaco and Marin at an un-
usually large salary, and has proved equal to
all the requirements. She sustains the role Of
Che'o lou Haley in the burlesque on "Blue
Jeans very cleverly. She is supported by
many burlesquers, vivacious vocalists and terpsi-
chorean artists. The burlesque is rep!ete with
new songs, music and dances, including ''The
Lantern Gavotte'' and the Barefoot Polka, ~
and is magniicently staged and intelligently
interpreted. Pert, pretty and piquant Polly
Holmes and jolly, funny Harry Morris figure
conspicuously in an original and amusing first
part entitled, THE Donkey Party" The How
ard is noted for the excellence Of its olio, which
Is interspersed with q new series of Matt Nor
gam living statues.
