CONCERT TUESDAY.
ID. dc v. Graham a We'll known
Musician at Opera House.

Musician at Opera House.
Among the passengers for Honolulu
by the Coptic, which Will probably ar
rive tomorrow are Mrs. John Mar
quardt, Harry Gillig. Donald de V
Graham, Jerome Hart and Alexander
Hamilton
Frank Unger, the advance guard OF
this combination, arrived by the Zea-
landia, and has been entertaining his
friends at the Pacific Club with anec-
dotes and songs in the interim, and
patiently waiting the arrival of the
Coptic and his friends on board.
Donald de V. Graham is known ev-
erywhere as an accomplished gentle
man, thorough musician and fine
vocalist. His reputation in San Fran
cisco has carried him into the homes
of the best people in California, and
ali invitation to call again has always
followed.
While in Honolulu Mr.. Graham will
give a concert at the Hawaiian Opera
House, at which he will be assisted by
Mrs. John Marquardt, who is, perhaps,
the best harpist in the United States.
She has been a member of the most
famous concert and opera troupes OF
two continents, and stands pre-emi-
nently at the head of her profession.
She will be pleasantly remembered by
the people here who attended the con-
certs given by her husband in Homo
lulu in 1895.
Harry Gillig is known as a globe
trotter who has done much to make
things hum in every city and hamlet
to be reached by man, and wherever
he has visited, only the pleasantest
recollections of him remain. AS a bari
tone singer. Mr.. Gillig has but few
equals if his friends, who have heard
him sing are permitted to judge. He is
always sought after wherever he goes,
but as his singing has always been for
the entertainment of a coterie of init
mate friends, the public has never had
an opportunity of hearing him. Mr..
Unger is authority for the statement
that Mr.. Gillig will take part in Mr..
Graham's concert at the Opera House
next Tuesday evening, and the public
will be the judge of his powers.
From the letters these gentlemen
will bring to prominent people in He
nolulu, it seems probable that the en-
tertainment will be of the nature of a
society event. And there seems no
reason why it should not, for perhaps
some of the local talent may be per-
suaded to lend their services.
James Hart and Alex. Hamilton are
among the best known people of San
Francisco, and are with the party to
enjoy little relaxation from the hum
drum work of the editorial sanctum of
the Argonaut, of which the former is
editor, and the immense business of
the firm of Baker e Hamilton, of which
the Mr.. Hamilton mentioned has an
active interest.
