Chorus.
The first quartette gave evidence OF the
quality of music and the abilities of the
musicians, and the audience at once felt
what was IN store for them.
Miss Ashbrooke's solo, sung in sweet
clear voice, followed. The young lady
was at once recalled. her effort arousing
an interest of decided kind. Beautiful
in face and person, daintily attired. che
made charming stage picture in add!-
ton.
Mr.. Doyle's powerful baritone solo
was encored. HIS voice has range and
strength, and is very pleasing in tone.
One Of the evenings gems was by Miss
Lsrimore. It was the splendidly rend-
cred, "Swiss Echo Song" Her voice Is
remarkably sweet, clear and penetrating,
seeming to arouse all the echoes IN every
nook and corner of the theatre. 1t
aroused an encore also of vigorous kind
which was gracefully responded to by
another delightful song. MISS Lari-
more's voice Is specially fine one and
it's cultivation far in advance OF the aver
age professional.
The trio that followed, introduced
Mrs. A. w. Porter to the audience. She
has on one or two occasions in the past
favored the city with her singing, but
her deep, contrslto voice was never
heard to better advantage than last
night. In her solo, No. 8 on the pro-
gram, she sang to an encore and received
in recognition, besides. bunch OF white
roses from some music lover in the audi
ence Mrs. Porter is cultured vocalist
possessing voice of unusual power.
The only instrumental number of the
evening was by Mrs. Tuttle of Mandan,
who rendered the extremely difficult and
notable musical selection, Listz's Hun
garian Rhapsody, in splendid style. Its
complicated execution was TO her q
matter OF apparent ease. She has very
high abilities as an lnstrumentalist, one
Of the best in the state, it is said. She
was heartily encored.
Mrs. Geo. Hughes, of Bismarck. for
several years connected with one OF the
leading operatic companies Of the coun.
try, showed the advantages training and
cultivation gives to the vocalist. Her
operatlc selection was most admirably
rendered, her voice being strong, clear
and flexible. The music Of the number
was fully brought ont The encore was q
comic dialect song with yodllng varia-
,ions, the lady accompanying herself on
the guitar. This fairly captivated her
hearers, who recalled the singer again.
Miss Bartholomew has sweet, we'll
trained voice. She sang IN most ef-
