eIlce MdfSndll last IueSudy nlBHl at Seals hall was such an affair of interest that feel that another reference to it in the Sunday column will not be remiss. Every one in the audience realized the re- markable genius of the youthful pianist, and were captivated, not only by her bril- liant execution and wonderful capacity Tor dramatic expression, but her fair, bright face with the flush of hope and youth upon it. Her graceful ease and sweetness, void of pride, helped to closer bind the magic spell her music wrought. With Miss Marshall as interpreter 1t is indeed easy to realize that music is the best language of the heart, the friend of pleasure, wisdom's aid. Her fair hands seemed to touch the very heart strings of the rich instrument on which she played, and when Beethoven's Sonata" came throbbing through the air it seemed to Ill the empty space with shimmering moonlight, ghastly shadows, the subtle breath of favorite flowers that sometime fingers in misty memory. Under the in- spiration of such grand harmony the glare of gaslight, the presence of the buzzing, enthusiastic throng is forgot ten. Fancy spreads her wings and scars to bold and daring heights, good thoughts to noble resolutions grow and imagination paints sweet pictures for the mind; visions rare touched by light divine.
 The enthusiastic and liberal applause that Miss Marshall received expressed the admiration and gratitude that the audience felt for. the exquisite pleasure her music gave, for she possesses not only the skill and technique essential to the artist, but that peculiar and rare endowment of heart and brain, without which simple perfection in the art Of fin- gering is barren accomplishment
 For this delightful evenings entertain ment, made perfect as it was by the as- slstance of two of Birmingham's best vo- calists, Miss Ruffner and Miss Coffin, and the mastedly rendition of difficult violin solos by Miss Grace Openshaw, the audience was indebted solely to that prince of good fellows" MT Solon Ja- cobs. His was the happy thought of thus giving pleasure to so many of Br- minghams best lovers of the divine art"
 There are few in our city so keen to de- tect and so ready to appreciate genuine merit as Mr Jacobs.
