The 5wensou Petersen Recital-An
Immense audience filled the Theater
last night on the occasion OF the
second pupils' recital given by Madsm
5wenson and Prof. Anton Petersen
and the pretty seasonable dresses OF
the ladies and the pleasant hum Of
conversation that went over tue muse
between the numbers made II seem
more like a social event than 0thof-
wise. The start on the program was
made somewhat late, considering that
twenty numbers were to he given ana
as o consequence 1t was something
after eleven before 1t was finished. II
was pleasing to note the interest being
taken In both vocal anu instrumental
music here and those who are respoD-
sible for these recitals deserve COM
mendation for their efforts to show the
public the good work in this line that
Is being accomplished. But fault
that has been found with others,
equally applies TO last nights recital,
mud that Is that the selections made
are for the most part too much IN nd.
vance OF the capabilities OF pupllp, to
make them entirely enjoyable.

cool headed men who succeeuel
In reassuring the crowd that there was
no TIRE. The admirable arrangements
made by the Theater management for
Just such emergencies as this was
thoroughly demonstrated last night,
