The record-union., 1896-10-13

The double bill at the Clunie Opera
house last evening drew a large audi
erce "Pygmalion and Galatea," Gil
bert's dramatic masterpiece, was played
cxcellently. Miss Dalglish made an
many in the character, and not one
more charming. Mary Anderson was
more classic, and several who could be
named were more human, but none of
them We're more graceful gentle or
poetic, and few, if any, more nearly APP
preached in figure and pose the graces
Of outline and movement that should
distinguish a Galatea. Nina Gleason
as CyniSca gave the audience fin
ished, womanly and artistic character.
II was handled under informing spirit
of what the author intended the Ar
fists wife to be. Mr.. Lonergan's Pyg-
malion was good, not the best we have
had here, but it was careful and well
balanced performance and full Of feel
ing and human interest. Mr.. Stock
bridge being a young man and rather
slight for the character, had a difficult
task in personating the purse proud
and overbearing Chrysos, but won
credit by his effort and left little want
1ilS. MISS I1dIlIllS lON . DdpIIuc was d
fine piece of satirical comedy work and
was recognized as such by the audi
ence warmly. Miss Yantes WAS very
good as the Artists sister and Mr..
Gibney was every inch the Athenian
soldier Gilbert intended. Taken as a
whole the NEUROLOGICAL comedy was an
entire success in the hands Of the stock
company. The programme concluded
with the rafting and pugilistic old
English farce Turn Him Out" in
which Mr.. Gleason, Mr.. Hallett, Mr..
Stewart, Miss Yantes and Miss Rankin
cid some clever work. Gleason and
Hallett notably were in high feather
with the audience, which they con-
vulsed with laughter. The same bill
tonight.
Albert Marks, manager for the distin-
guished pianiste, Fannie Bloomfield
Zeister, is in the city arranging for
the appearance of the artist here soon.
1t is to be effected upon a supscrip-
ton basis and there is every reason to
believe that it Will be accomplished,
several leading musical people having
enlisted in that interest. Madame
Zeister will give but four or five concerts
i'll the State, and that in Sacramento
will probably be the first Mr.. Marks
has successfully arranged for her ap-
pearance in Oregon and British Colum-
bia.
The testimonial concert in aid of the
afflicted Sacramento singer, Addie Car
ter, is so far arranged for that success
is assured. The financial measure Of
the success will be limited only by the
time intervening between this and
Thursday night for the sale of tickets
| The concert viii be held in the Congre-
gational Church Thursday evening, and
promises to be one of the largest and
| best ever given in the city by local tai
ent. 1t will open with a male chorus
| under direction of Sig. Tomasso in Dud-
| ley Bucks vocal combat, introducing
Then You'n Remember Me" and
! Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" The
| sixteen mixed voices who sang in the
musical festival at San Francisco last
fall will sing the "Hallelujah Chorus
| from the Messiah" as the closing num-
| Der of the evening. There will be sew
enteen numbers in the programme, and
| encores will not be responed to-
| The Mandolin Club, Treble Clef Choral,
| sunset Male quartet, a piano quartet,
harp and violin suet, organ solo, So
prano, violin, bass and contralto solos,
mixed choruses and male choruses will
| be features. A special feature will be
| the appearance of a number of Sacra-
| mento's very accommodating young
| ladies, who have kindly volunteered to
act as the ushers of the evening. In
all, there will be over 100 musicians on
the platform during the evening. A
number of societies which have profited
by Mrs Carter's kindness have taken
| blocks of tickets-there are others that
| should do SO. The churches which the
| stricken contralto has SO often aided
| with her voice in concert should join in
| the good work Also mad probably will
do SO or are already engaged in it.
