The Camilla Urso concert at the Guards
hall, under the auspices of the st. Johns
Rectory Society, last night, attracted an
appreciative audience
Madame Urso, as violin virtuoso,
reached not only the ear but the heart of
those who heard her. The notes she
drew from her instrument were inspiring,
and her temperance after each number
was eagerly awaited. Encores We're the
order Scarcely number but drew APP
plause sufficient to recall the player or
singer. The company, too, responded
cheerfully to the requests for extra num-
bers.
The soprano OF Miss Minnie Methot, the
prima donna was listened to with the
greatest pleasure. To the talents of a
gifted singer the additional aid is given
to Miss Methots efforts of a very at
tractive appearance and manner.
The tenor Mr.. Edwin II. Douglas, and
the pianist, Mr.. George II. Wesley, each
won plaudits. Mr. Wesley's efforts as
tied appreciation, and Mr.. Douglas sang
his way to the hearts of his audience.
Liszts Hungarian Rhapsody was the
first number on the programme. the Sc
lection from the eminent composer was
grandly played by Mr.. Wesley. Following
this came "Du Bist die Ruth. by Schu-
bert, and "In Springtime,' Fesca, solos
was eXcellenHy sung by Mr.. Douglas.
A selection from Linda di ChamouniX,
by Donizetti, was given by Mss Methot
and was probably regarded as one of the
best of the programme.
Madame Ursos first appearance was
to play selections and ante and allegro APP
passimate from Ernest Gu1auds Grand
Caprice de Concert.
one of Chopin's ballards followed 10 the
skillful touch of Mr. Wesley, and then
came the first of the beautiful duets by
Miss Methot and Mr.. Douglas. This was
Faure's Charity" Madame Urso's violin
lent the charm of it's power to the sound
ing of the notes of NieuXtemps' "Revere."
Mr.. Douglas selection M'Appari. from
the ever popular Martha, was well re-
cei%ed and followed by two songs by Miss
Methot; the first, "Sans tot by Guy
ID Hardelot. and the second, 20 Sorrow q
Sweetness" by. Tchaikowski.
The celebrated Paganinfs Witches
Dance" won applause for Madame Crso,
and the entertainment was closed with the
duet. "Nagdlein Nimm dich in Acht," by
Georg Pittrich, by Miss Methot and Mr.
Douglas.
