MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Complimentary Concert.

complimentary Concert.
City hall is too large for such an audi
enee as is certain to gather there when
home talent alone appears, unless some
extraordinary occasion calls out the
town. An audience that would fill a
small hall is almost lost within it's walls,
and. what is of more consequence, the
echo created affects the performers
materially. Such was the case last night
at the concert given complimentary to
Miss Cristabel Robinson.
Miss Robinson is young lady who has
not yet got out of short dresses. She has
a bright pleasing face, a graceful car
rage, which has not yet lost it's girlish-
ness, and good understanding of what
is necessary to make successful elocu-
ZIONIST She intends to go to a training
school and perfect herself in her art. She
was warmly received and heartily ap-
plauded last evening and received an en-
core which she acknowledged by bow.
Miss Robinson was assisted on the
occasion by several of Portland's well
known people. M ISIS Knight and Miss
Kicker sang duet by Gam ussi charm
ingly, and Miss Kicker delighted later
with her delightful rendering OF
RoeckePs "Cheri" Mr.. John F. WEIGH
sang "Thy Sentinel Am l." and De
Koven's," Oh, Promise Me-" with much
taste and fervor. All of these artists
were encored but simply bowed. Miss
Goodwin played cavratina by Carl
Bohn SO well that she had to respond to
an encore. Mr.. Whitcomb gave German
characterization that pleased his audi
ence SO well he responded with an Irish
one. Mrs. Elizabeth E. Dodge gave two
selections, one Miller's " Colorado Madge"
and the other New England dialect
number. The lady has an agreeable
voice and good enunciation. Her render
ing of her first selection was given with
out undue exaggeration and her delivery
Of the second evidently pleased her audi
enoe greatly.
