prettiest act OF the evening. but it was
not appreciated as it should have been.
A very enjoyable feature is the sing

powerful, sweet contrslto, bordering on
a baritone.
The Lord Razzle Dazzle, BERTHE Craw-
ford, is young woman most generously

He is an improvement on the former
comedians which have been with the
company.
The ballets are good, far away ahead
OF the Black Crook company hers short

been added. A number of the special

If the succeeding organ recitals by
Prof. W. B. Colson. jr., are equal to that
OF last evening at the First Presby yteriap

greatest musical events of this or any

ance of last night was a rich treat to
music lovers. Mr.. Colson is certainly
an artist OF remarkable ability, and pos
sesses the technique and execution of
Clarence Eddy, together with breadth
of Interpretation and depth of express
zion that Mr.. Eddy unfortunately lacks.
The vocal number on the programme
was rendered by Mrs. M. f. Auer, the
soprano of the church choir. Mrs.
Auer has pure voice admirably fitted
for sacred music, and sang Will Extol
The, from Eli, with exceedingly fine
effect. The next recital will be given
Friday evening, April 18th.
