Lullaby (Stephens) sung by forty of
the ladies. 1t was a delicious moroccan
and called for repetition.
r. G.. Easton sang fannie Laurie'' with
wonderful expression and in response to
call gave a typical Mormon hymn. he
sang we'll. but his voice WAS somewhat
"throaty." possibly from an acute colo;
The sMiserere'' from HIl Travatore'
was admirably sung by Mrs. Pugsley,
soprano; George D. Piper, tenor, and
the entire chorus. 1t was splendid piece
of work and the chorus is entitled to
much credit for its singing of the solemn
accompaniment to the principal voices.
The violin solo of Willard E. Weihe
was fine effort, and the celebrated quar-
tette from "Rigoletto,' sung by Mrs
Allison, r. @. Easton and H. S. Ensign,
jr-, evoked genuine applause. The organ
solo of Professor Thomas Radcliffe showed
the accomplished organist.''
1.-The Tabernacle choir boasts some
very interesting soloists. R. G. Easton
sang ssThen You'll Remember Me, and
'Annie Laurie - and displayed a natural
voice especially suited to the singing of
ballad music, but little husky in quail
ity and uncertain in method. very
sweet and expressive contrato is that OF
Mrs. Bessie Dean-Allison, who sang Two
familiar bits, ''Love's Sorrow and
Cloves Own Sweet Song.' Mrs. Lizzie
Thomas Edwards sang in excellent style
and good voice the Welsh ballad 'Guin-
cite Gurger,'' and Mrs. Agnes Olson
Thomas sang ssScenes That Are Bright
est'' in rich contralto of notable power.
H. S. Ensign and John Robinson, con-
testants for the prize for the best rendi-
ton of the baritone solo, tCome Where
the Lindens Bloom" both pleased the
audience immensely. They denote much
power, the former possessing slight ad-
vantage in voice and the latter in style.
A novelty yesterday afternoon was the
violin playing OF Master Arthur Peterson,
years old. The youngster made ire
mendous hit in medleys and popular airs.
He has tiny violin adapted to his dlmln-
utive arms and hands.
'The solo and duet work was admira-
bly, done and to the intense satisfaction or
the audience. The Mesdames Nellie
Druce-Pugsley and Bessie Dean Allison
were singularly happy in their rendition
of the Consolation" duet, and received
warm encore. Mrs. Agnes Olsen
Thomas rendered the Norwegian ballad
in style that took the audience by storm,
while Mr.. Easton was no less fortunate In
the Scotch ballad, his selection being
"Annie LaCrie.'' The prison scene from
Trovatore was given With great cleverness
by Mrs. Nellie bruce Pugsley and Mr..
George Pyper, and not often is it better
done. The audience was extremely
sympathetic, and gave the singers full
credit for every effort to please. The
voices OF the soloists were all OF excellent
quality, and the music selected was well
suited to their capacity.
