Delightful Entertainment.

A Delightful Entertainment,
Every seat at the Opera House was filled last
evening, and no audience assembled there ever
listened to better entertainment The appear
ance of Evalt Sontum with his violin, was ca
gerly anticipated by music lovers and the public
in general, and the reality even exceeded the
expectations of the delighted listeners. He
certainly draws maSterful bow, and conjures
forth as none but master hand can, the powers
of the king of instruments. His execution is
brilliant, with rapid and graceful movement
and every note clear, distinct and pure. He
possesses the powers of Remenyi in exemplify
ing almost simultaneously from the strings the
emotions of Joy and sorrow. He infuses the
inspiration and feelings of the author into his
own renditions, and interprets in exquisite tones
the thought and soul of the composition. A
true artist, his execution thrills and his tones
enrapture with the breathings of genius. The
enraptured audience sati in breathless admiration
and appreciation of his playing, and then made
the room ring in tributes of applause.
He is also pianist of fine talents and prof.
cheney, possessing complete mastery over the
keys.
Miss Maud Maxson drew forth the powers OF
the piano in infinite shades of artistic rendition.
Her fnesconception and brilliancy of technique
and execution were most wonderfully displayed,
and she enthused her audience again and again
with the spirit and glow of her own inspiration.
She possesses the rare art of making her playing
felt, rather than heard. There is degree of
solid genuineness attaching to her execution
that is most pleasing and satisfactory. No am
ateur ever equaled her before Ravenna audi
ence. She was rewarded with applase and en-
cores. Her native genius and devotion to art,
insure her a brilliant future as pianist.
The pure tones of the gifted soprano, Miss
Lena Walter, again awakened the keenest de-
light in her hearers. The depth and richness of
her voice, and the wonderful command she pos
sesses over it, are well known to Ravenna peo-
pie. She is favorite singer, and made many
new friends last evening.
Mrs. S. J. Post appeared with her in the beau
tiful duet, " Cheerfulness," from Gumbert. and
the blending of their rich voices was delightful
in the extreme. Mrs. Post has voice of sweet
purity and extended compass, that would have
qualified her for an equal place with many pro-
fessionals of national fame.
Miss Winifred Waite fairly electrified her
audience with her readings and recitations. She
literally played on the heart strings of her list
eners, and swayed them apparently at pleasure
between laughter and tears, by her inimitable
portrayals of wit and pathos. Miss Waite can
not be adequately written up in her character a.
elocutionist, any more than can the other artists
who contributed with her to the superb enter
tainment. She is always more than satisfying
The entertainment was one of the gems O
the season, and Ravenna may well take prid
| in her home talent.

The story of one sleighride, last Thursday
