News Notes from the Infant Wonder
City.

the Academy of Music, Wednesday even
ing, February 9th. The weather was
not propitious but the attendance was
generous in numbers. Both the musi-
clans and the auditors are from among
the best society people of the city, and
the affair had all the eclat which social
prestige could confer. The society has
been rehesrsing for several months un-
der the leadership of NJ. E. H. Null
ligan, and the eager anticipation
with which the affair has been awaited
was not disappointed. The voices had
the support of the Redlands orchestra,
which added much to the effect of the
music. The programme was made up
from the works OF the best composers
every selection was evidence Of good
taste. The grade OF music was high
and well within the calibre OF the per-
formers.
The orchestra, in Thomas overture,
Raymond, began delightful evenings
programme, with fine effect in light
and shade. The frat chorus by the
society was The Miller's Wooing, by
Eaton Tanning. The result of careful
drill was apparent before two bars of the
music had been rendered, the especial
strength of the soprano being notice
able. The preponderance was not,
however, sufficient to over-balance
the other parts, and delightful
selection WAS earnest of the thoroughly
artistic carrying out of the entire pro-
gramme. The first solo was rendered
by Mr.. Frank B. Guuther. He played
Marzkowski's Sevenata. 1t is grace
full study for the violin, light, airy, and
classical and exhibiting MIR. Gunther's q
technique to good advantage. The piece
was encored but Mr.. Gunther did not
respond. The piano accompaniment
was played by Miss Nellie s. Wilson and
much of the pleasure of this selection,
as we'll as all of the programme, was due
to the careful and sympathetic playing
of this accomplished musician. Her
systematic subordination of the piano
is always combined with an effective
and blending support.
Barnby's chorus, Sweet and Low, a
cradle song, dreamy and sweet, was
given by the union as the fourth num-
ber. The lullaby brought out the male
voices very effectively, the low register
giving the moderated masculine tones a
very sympathetic effect. Here again
the drill of the chorus and it's faithful
practice made effectual the fine voices
OF which it is composed.
| The soft, pathetic strains of the
chorus were followed by the powerful
basso of Mr.. E. H. Lockhardt, who for
the first time sang to Redlands audi
ence. Watson's Anchored was given
with richness and depth, the lower
tones being rich and full, and the gen.
tleman received an ovation from the de-
lighted listeners. The pathos and
power which closed the first part of the
programme wove solemn spell, which
made the always bewitching Carmen
irresistible, and as the animated strains
from the orchestra played upon the open
sympathies of the auditors the very
magic of the wicked beauty herself
seemed to be in the air. The thunders
OF applause which greeted Carmen
showed how,opportunely that fascinating
air, rendered with the its true diablerie,
had played upon the sympathies aroused

sentimental study, was effectively rem
dered by the union. Miss Fowler's solo.
On, Rest in the Lord, from Mendell'
sohn,s oratorio Elijah, gave full play to
That lady's rich alto voice, the powerful
tones OF which filled the large room.
Here again Miss Wilson's accompani.
ment was made so delicate and go effect
ual. Miss Fowler was encored but did
not respond. The chorus Lift Thine
Eyes by female voices gave a
pleasing variety to the numbers. A
delicate blending of tones was noticea-
pie. The conclusion was Farmers
Sanctus, from mass in B fat, by the
Chorai union. and the dignited measure
and lofty. strains were interpreted with
pure artistic feeling. The evening of
music very successful one, and the
splendid corps of artists demonstrate
now thoroughly equipped this commu.
nifty IS Tor amusement within itself.
The affair bore no trace of the novice.
and there Is no occasion for apology or
lenient criticism. The work was we'll
pone. and the Choral union ia to be
heartily congratulated upon the splen-
dld results OF its faithful study.
