THE PRESS CLUB CONCERT,
A Large Attendance at the Hyperion
Last Night.

A Large Attendance at the Hyperion
Last Night.
The concert given at the Hyperion
last evening under the auspices of the
| New Haven Press club was attended
| by large audience. The program was
long, but of considerable interest, and
there was much enthusiasm manifest
| ed throughout the evening, The club
| had secured several soloists of excel
| lence, and probably nice sum of mon
ey was netted from the receipts.
The program opened with two move
| ments from a wind quintet by OnsloW,
| op. 81, performed by Messrs. HegeN
Steinert, Cass, Herr and Langzettel.
| 1t was good work and deserves much
| praise. Their performance compared
very favorably with that given here by
| the New York Philharmonic club earli-
| er in the season. And it must be borne
| in mind that the New York club is an
old and experienced organization. A
| mixed quartet, composed of Misses
lLoveridge and Klock and Messrs. Moyle
| and Criddle, gave q lugubrious rendi-
| ton OF Caldicott's pseudo-classic, Lit
| tie Jack Horner." Mr.. Joseph Criddle,
| the we'll known basso, sang Fabiani $
Conquered" accompanied by Mr.. Max
| Treumann. Mr.. Criddle made very
pleasant impression, and, being recall
| ed, sang the Scotch ballad, THE Maid
| of Dundee"
The prima donna of the evening, Mrs,
Hettie Bradley-Kelley, was greeted
with considerable applause on her ap-
| pearance. Mrs. Kelley sang DELL
| Aqua's familiar "Villenelle." Mrs
| Kelley did not need to go abroad to
| learn to sing WELL because she sang
very we'll indeed before she went. But
| she has acquired certain assurance
and flexibility that are an added charm.
AS an encore she sang an arrangement
of Pierne's ''Serenade."
Mr.. Julius L. Parke, who is well and
| favorably known as a 'cellist, played
an adagio from sonata by Sgambatti,
accompanied by Mr., T. Max Smith,
| Yale '9S. Mr. Parke played with excel
lent taste and feeling. AS an encore he
| played an exquisite "Berceuse" by
| Faure.
Miss Klock sang the Handel aria,
Return, O God of Hosts accompa~
MED by Mr.. Treumann. Miss klock
has one of the best contralto voices
| in fact, one of the few real contralto
Voices-in this city, and she sings with
quiet taste and gives an impression of
much reserve force Being recalled,
she sang a "Slumber Song" by Jessie
L. Gaynor.
Mr.. E. A. Parsons played three of his
own compositions in his usual style.
Miss May Loveridge sang Frank Saw
yer's French Serenade.' Miss Lover
idgefs voice is fresh in quality and re-
sonant, and she put great deal of en-
thusiasm into her song and was well
supported by her accompanist, Mr..
| Harry Woodcock. Miss Loveridge was
recalled and sang a second time.
A string quartet, composed of Messrs.
Fichtl, Haesche, Rawson and Langzet-
tel, performed a "Canzonetta" by Vic
tor Herbert and the well known AN
dante from Tschaikowsky' op. II quar-
| tet.
! Mr.. Wallace Moyle sang songs by
| Nevin and Fredck Clay, accompanied
by Mrs. Moyle Mrs. Kelley sang Eek
erts Swiss Echo Song and a laugh
ing song, THE Foolish Maidens," by
Fauvel.
The concert closed with a quartet by
Misses Loveridge and Klock and
Messrs. Moyle and Criddle.
The number of encores dragged the
program out numerically. But the en-
thusiasm seemed genuine, and all the
ladies participating were most literally
showered with flowers.
