Omaha daily bee., 1896-03-22
gDoMINANf SEVENTIES.

Had Omaha k1oWn what II was going to be,
Omaha would f9ve turned out in full, force.
Should this wotHbe repeated it will be to
the shame OF the local musical world II every
ssat and every inch CT standing room is
not taken.
1t vas a piece OF fine professional work
and must be viewed ana criticised from that
standpoint. Many Of the prominent singers
OF the town s'ere engaged to do the solo
work, the younger artists, as wei os some
who have borne the burden and heat Of the
day. To Mrs. Cotton's ability, good taste
and hard work IL was a high tr bate.
Especially striking was the work OF Wal
ter Il. wilkins. who gave a tender. devo-
tional portrayal of The Man of Sorrows,
the Man Of Christ Jesus" HIS beautiful
tenor voice was particularly adapted to the
part and his singing Throughout was marked
by Article finish and thoughtful conception.
Mr.. Lombard was a virlle PLATE and en-
tered into his part with wonderful vigor.
MIR. McCune ana Mr.. Paul Beresford were
highly satisfactory in their parts. The quar-
tet work showed study added to a pleasant
blending Of the voices. Unstinted praise was
earned by Mr.. Butler, the organist of the
evening. The wcrk requires much magma
ton and exquisite care. Mr.. Butler was
eminently successful in grasping the COM
poser's idea and in the execution thereof.
But. somehow, We expect that from him.
Mr.. Tabor will give his forty-seventh organ
recital this afternoon in the First Congre-
gational church. 1t is necessary to begin
the recital this afternoon at 2:45. as the
church will be otherwise engaged at a O'Clock.
Attention is invited to the fact that Mrs.
Minnie Rath VIM of San Francisco will
sing two solos. Mr.. Tabor's work will con-
s,st mostly of popular music. The Ran SER
enade and the Marionette funeral march OF
Gounod are two OF the most attractive num-
bers he has ever played. The following is the
program:

Mrs. Cotton's pupils gave a recital last
Tuesday evening. 1t was particularly pleas
ng to notice the Introduction of some who
we're hitherto almost unknown. Conspicuous
,mong them was Mrs. Smith, a beautiful
woman with a fine voice. Her tones were
'ich and full and her singing was of that
nature which makes the eyes dim. Miss
lays was not known, to the writer, nor was
Mss Sullivan, but the first impression was
a pleasant zone. Miss Lobman in
My Ail," (Bohml was highly satisfactory,
nd Miss Alice Smith was treated to an en-
huisastic recall. Which. by the way. was
Miss Knox, the pretty Pocahontas,

successfully in the recent opera of Pow

md was followed by, Miss Chafie. who sang
