BY SOCIETY YOUNG LADIES.
Performance of the Saturday
Morning Orchestra.
LEONCAVALLO'S INTERMEZZO.
Society Bids Farewell to the Opera
House in a Blaze of Color
and Beauty.

Never did the stage Of the Grand Opera
house present a prettier appearance than
last night, on the occasion OF the third
concert of the Saturday Morning Orches-
ira. 1t seemed, indeed, as though the
building were having an additional blaze
OF fashionable glory to mark the last
entertainment held within its walls before
IL become the home If melodrama.
There are over forty young ladies In the
Saturday Morning Orchestra, and they
looked very charming in their dainty even
ing dresses amid the great yellow bouquets
and white streamers with which the plat
form was adorned. The entertainment
was for the benefit of the Children's Hos
pital and the Pioneer Kindergarten So
ciety, bu. even without such laudable OBJ
Jects It is certain that there would have
been a large attendance. As 1t was, the
body Of the opera-hO use was crowded as
though for Patti first night.
The first number played by the orchestra
was a movement from Gade's symphony
No. ,. the pianoforte obiigato being exc
cuted by Miss Julia Newman. The per-
Torrance was an excellent one. the young
ladies following every movement of Con-
ductor j. II. Rosewald's baton with great
ardor and precision. Indeed. they sh owed
themselves TO be intelligent musicians,
capable of merging their Municipalities as
sOloists in the pleasure OF doing good
ensemble work.
An mpromDtu, Elfenreigeu. by Schmelz,
was the second number played by
the orchestra, anu was warmly applauded.
The third selection showed, however, how
enterprising and abreast with the
times the members OF the Saturday
Morning Orchestra are. for thew gave
San Francisco audience for the first time the
pleasure of hearing the in,ermezzo from
Leoncayallo's II Pagliacci." Since the
success of the "Cavaliera Rusticana" no

able rule.
The intermeZzO as played last night was
rich in color and full of dramatic effect.
Perhaps it is not music that will catch the
popular fancy so quickly as the in termezzo
from the 'Cavalleria," but it was very
beautiful, even on a first hearing.
The valse, Filtration" by Sleek, was a
number which the orchestra played with
such nice phrasing and expression that the
audience insisted on an encore. The over
ture to Schuberts 'Rosamunde" concluded
the orchestral numbers.
Tine San Francisco Glee Club sang the
"Fairy's Slumber Song and Taubert's
bird song, with great taste. to an orches-
trail accompaniment arranged by the con-
ductor, J. II. Rosewald. Miss Annie

Andrew Bogari, the vocalist of the even
ing, was accorded great applause. He has
a we'll placed, light barytone voice OF
pleasing quality, and when he was stimu-
lated by the evident sympathy of his audi.
ence TO forget his nervousness, he sang
with great expression. Undoubtedly his
marked "vibratO" was owing also to nerv-
BUSINESS. His first song. "What Would

of light operas, was bright and tuny. AS
