for The Tribune gave a recital 10 m..n-
'bers of the press this week and clearly
demonstrated that her .,udiC.s In 1he
Enelis,h academy had not been without
resuias. Edward 4. Niven. the we'll
known dramatic and musical critic,
mentionS the recital in the Wilkes
Barre Leader as follows: ',AIiss Kaiser
had decidedly apprecfative audience
yesterday afternoon on the occasion Of
,ner ieOItal of song especially arranged
for the newspaper men OF this city.
the singer was in excellent voice and
She programme was an especially de-
liehtful one. Miss OfNt.H was the ac-
cCmr1rIst and aided materially in EN-
pha sizing the artistic qualities Of the
vocalist. Those present WHO mad not
heard lM3ss Kaiser since her return
were overwhelmed with genuine sur
pll'se at the remarkable culture which
her studies and practices had material
lied. She was no longer the shy. neTv-
Gus girl apprehensive of failure, but
the conscious. self-ccmmlanding artist.
convinced Of her wonderful power and
resources and assured that she was
Pleasing to those who listened. This
confidence Is what expels any doubt OF
her ability to reach those magnificent
climaXe.s when she begins on coinpo-
s1tion her auditors know demands the
most consummate force and skill. Yes
terday she proved beyond any doubt
that she Is all that the English critics
declared she was-pleasing In the high
est degree. 1t Ia left for Miss Kaiser to
surprise many people on the occasion
OF her approaching benefit concert"
The Wilkes-Barre Record says: 1.-The
recital OF song given by Miss Sadie
Kaiser to the members of the press and
few friends In the Y. IN. c. A. audi
torimm was a revelation to those who
had not heard her since her return from
the Royal Academy. Even the news
paper men, generally apathetic. WIRE
completely carried away by the wonder
full sweetness, beauty and power OF her
voice. As one number followed another,
revealing new beauties OF tone. they
looked at each other in wonder and
voted 1t about the finest feast Of song
they had ever enjoyed. From the light
and pleasing Damon" to the intensely
dramatic scene from 'Oberon, Nhe
gifted singsr displayed SO firm a grasp
SO lignt a touch and so wide range
that one newspaper man was moved to
remark that he utterly failed to see
where all that wonderful voice came
from."

1.-THE Wizard Of the Nile" which was
presented for the second time, at the
Academy of Music last evening, will
undou btedly be numbered among the
musical successes Of the year. While
following the themes suggested by Lii
brettst Harry B. Smith in the compo-
slt.on of music Of an oriental and at
times weird character. Victor Herbert
has produced some excellent numbers
and has given a variety that is in ac-
cord with the Kaleidoscope colOrings in
the staging Of the opera. The music
ranges from classic themes to catchy
airs and will doubtless prove more pop
ular than anything heretofore written
by Mr.. Herbert. The pages serenade
at the opening of the second act Is like
ly to be one of the most popular num-
bers of the opera. In this the composer
has gathered inspiration for fascinat-
ing air from Mr.. Smiths delicate lines:
"At dawn the song bird sings to the
flower,
And the waking sunbeams sing to the
At dawn young blossoms sing to the
shower;
And / come to sing of my love to thee.
My love awake; my love arse.
A truce to dreaming, dear. ! pray;
Come with the glory Of thine eyes
Lend brightness to the coming day.
In his libretto to 1.-THE Wizard Of the
Mile" Mr.. Smith seems to have aban-
