THE MEHRTEN's MUSICALE.
Treat to Music Lovers at Their
Hall Last Night.

Hall Last Night.
Prof. and Mrs. Leo w. Mehrtens opened
their season last night with one of their
pleasant concerts, ably assisted by Master
Arthur Levy, a violin pupil of Prof. Hub
ner.
During the summer the hall has been
frightened with new paint and additional
electric lights, and it is now one of the
most CHEEKY, well adapted music halls to
be found anywhere. There was a full
house to greet the performers, and more
critical or appreciative house is seldom
found.
The concert opened with the well rem
dered Theme and Variations" on the
piano and violin, by Miss Stella Levy and
her brother, Arthur. This young couple
show great talent and wonderful accu-
racy in their work.
esting programme was rendered:
The wonderful proficiency shown by the
pupils, from the youngest beginner to
those who have been longer at the instru-
ment, was generally remarked upon. Very
young pupils deservedly won applause
from those in the audience used to criti-
cising. When there was so much good
work done, 1t is difficult to individualize,
but the burst of applause that followed
the Polish Dance" by Master Levy on
the violin accompanied on the piano by
Prof. Mehrtens, showed how spontaneous
was the appreciation Of the audience,
which demanded its repetition. This is
known to be contrary to the rules of the
Mehrtens, but the audience had to be sat
isfied. The wedding march from Liszt
piano solo, by Miss Josie Dorsett, was
wonderful in execution. 1t consists of
twenty-seven pages of difficult music,
which she had memorized, and her rendi-
ton was an excellent and artistic one
If mention were made of all who did
well, the whole programme would have to
be itemized.
The sale of seats for Roland Reed in
dicates an excellent house, and there may
be standing room only. The ubiquitous
Sanford Cohen dropped in again on a
flyer through from Jacksonville to
Charleston last night, and he reports bus
mess tremendous. Mr.. Sells of Sells cir
Gus, just arrived from Montgomery last
night. He reports Reed had such a big
house he could not get a seat. The peo-
pie were enthusiastic, and Mr.. Reed re-
ceived several curtain calls. The COM
pany plays in Jacksonville, and every
