The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1897-04-24
Grand Concert and Ball Given
by LOnsdaIe Council, R. A.
LOnsdale Hall Was Filled by an
Appreciative Audience.


ball Of Lonsdale Council, No. 892, Royal
Arcanum, will go down in the annals Of
the organization as one of the most sue
cessful affairs of the kind, both numeri-
cally and financially. 1t Is evident from
the number present that Lonsdale Council
has host OF friends, and it Is further evil
dent that those same friends attended the
anniversary last evening determined to en-
Joy themselves to the utmost. That the
whole entertainment and bail was social
success one need only look at the smiling
countenances of the participants, and
listen to their expressed words of praise.
The concert program was admirably
rendered, and the long and continued ap-
plause and the demands made upon the
artists for repetitions gave evidence that
the large audience thoroughly appreciated
the conscientious work displayed in
the rendering of the various numbers.
While it would be unfair to bestow
more praise upon one than another, yet
particular mention should made, how
ever, of the playing of Mr.. Moore, who Is
known In the professional world as the
"Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar Wizard"
Those who were fortunate enough to hear
him were convinced that this nom de
plume had not been misappropriated.
1t was quite evident that his fame as an
artist had preceded him, for his appearance
upon the stage was the signal for applause,
and his first banjo selection completely
captivated the audience. His playing Is
of that kind which fills one with rapture,
and the more you hear, the stronger
his rare and artistic qualities as mus
ician become apparent. 1t might be said no
Spanish cavalier ever struck sweeter chords
on the guitar, no Venetian ever
wi 'lded the plectrum morelskillfully, and
surely no Darkie of "Dixie Land" ever
manipulated banjo more gracefully and
with better results than does Mr.. Moore.
AS a composer he ranks very high and his
compositions are eagerly sought by music
publishers.
When the echos Of the last number on
the card had died away the floor was
cleared of the seats, and aIseason of dane
ing was inaugurated until 2 a. m. Nc
Closkey's Orchestra was sinattendance, and
1t can be safely said that the success of the
entertainment was due in large measure
to the excellent music. William II. Board
man had charge of thelfloor, iand that is
evidence sufficient that the details Of that
department were handled in an able man
ner. The following Is the program in full !:
