l.-- night, was a success from every point
- view. No artists could have desired
more sympathetic and appre-
ls-.ve audience. and no au-
5..ce could have desired. or been ac-
r.nmodated with. more finished and
rroughly enjoyable musical entertain
r--.. The performance began promptly
1850. and continued for one hour and a
rrf and il would be safe TO say that
there was not a music lover present who
sii not think the lapse Of time one OF
-f. shortest periods of ninety minutes he
or -he had ever experienced. The pro-
gram Of the evening was as follows:
Kreutzer Sonata, violin and piano, Dee

and wears decorations conferred upon him
hy King AlphOnsO XII in person, is a
violin virtuOsO of such note that 1t is
unnecessary TO commend him. To state
that he played is equivalent to saying that
bis numbers were rendered with most ar
tisuc skill and finish. Each of his efforts
was followed by an encore, to which he
responded graciously and gracefully.
Nine Linde displayed a contralto voice
of very pleasing quality Her rich in
tOnatOn the skill Of her vocalization
promptly won the confidence and favor of
her audience and she obtained enthusiast
tic applause for her rendering of each of
her numbers.
Senior De-Macchi, the pianist. charmed
his audience with his first touches upon
the instrument, held them spell-bound
during the recital and sent them into tn
multuous applause at its conclusion. The
delicacy of his touch and expression have
suggested favorable comparisons with
Paderewski, which seem warranted.
The audience. which filled the audito-
rum to almost its seating capacity, was
representative Of musical society in Sa-
vannah. The following members of he
general committee Of the club, and their
friends, occupied the boxes: Judge w. ID.
Harden, Mrs. Dr. Parker of New Yor.k,
Mr.. F. r. JONES' Miss Edna Stone of New
York. Mr.. Kinzie. Mrs. w. W. Gordon.
Sr, Mr.. Clarence Murphy. Miss White
head Capt Henry Blum, Miss Blum, Mr..
Newman, Mrs. Newman, Mr.. .Rebarer,
Mrs. Munnerlyn Mrs. q. S. Owens, Mr..
Coburn, Miss Coburn. Miss Cosens, Miss
Rheta Johnson, Miss Meta Thomas and
Miss Woodbridge.
The next concert under the auspices of
the club will be given on the night of
Christmas eve; when the artists will be
Mr. Louis Blumenberg, ViOlincellist, Miss
Maud Clay Mills, soprano, and Arpad La
sylo, pianist.
Tomorrow night Creston Clarke will
begin a two nights engagement with Ham,
let. The second night he will play FOOLS
Revenge. The Philadelphia Ledger says
of him in Hamlet: He is himself a stu
dent as well as a player; a man with rich
intellectual gifts and the talents to show
them. Never, perhaps, did these talents
shine out more steadily than last night
never, perhaps, did he prove more con-
vincingly how the genius of the actor,
allied to the genius of the playwright can
throw over somber Hamlet not only the
pale cast of thought but a weird, sub
dued light admirably suited to the spirit
stars is this light wanting; its place is
taken by the calcium. The whole per-
formance as given by the company which
has been engaged to assist Mr.. Clarke In
his new starring venture proved interest
ing, and notably so in the case of sAde.
laide Prince Miss Prince had become so
charmingly known as a light comedy ex-
ponent of the DAILY type that when she
first appeared on the stage as Ophelia one
almost expected to see the imperious Re-
han or the lovabe Gilbert come walking
on after her Bat she soon banished any
such inappropriate idea, for, though by
no means striking Ophelia, she was a
fair and gentle one, lovely-of face, pleas
ant of voice and discreet in action"
