gregatiOnal Church under the auspices
of the Saturday Club on Saturday ev-
ening, March Goth, when famous Ma
dame Camilla UrsO, the foremost fe-
male Violinist of the day, will appear.
She will be supported by Minnie He
thot, prima donna contralto, who has
just returned from Europe, where she
has completed her studies under Ma
dame Marchesi of Paris. She will also
have the support of Edwin H. Douglas,
notable tenor, who has excited much
interest in the musical world, and by
George IL. wesley, a piano SoloiSt who
stands in the front rank of American
artists, and by many is held to be at
the head of the list. The Saturday Club
has undertaken this concert because of
its judgment that it will be one of
first merit. The club is a critical or
ganization and careful not to commit
itself to any musical function not of
superior excellence. AS for Madame
Crso it is scarcely necessary to speak,
so well and widely is she known. She
has been a famous violinist these many
years and still retains her place among
distinguished artists. We heard her

Chimmie is a Bowery Boy, but the
earliest studies of the character by Ed
ward Townsend, the author, were made
of San Francisco hoodlums. Chimmie
is rather an idealiZation of type some
times met with in the slum quarters of
any great city; boy reared on the
streets, with many of the characteris-
tics belonging to his tough surround
ings, but with good heart, an hon.
est nature and a courageous DISPOSE
ton. Charles Hopper is said to give a
splendid impersonation of the title role,
and his supporting company, from re-
ports that have reached here, is one Of
superior excellence. The original COM
pany and production will be seen here.

patented in France cheap electrical
