ADJUSTMENTS

THE YOUNG RECITAL-Between
$50 and 300 people assembled at the
Congregational church last evening to
bid welcome to Mr.. B. b. Young and
his wife. 1t might be thought that 10
songs, rendered in consecutive order by
one singer, with nothing between to
diversity the programme, would grow
monOtonouS or tedious and it might
have been so with any else than a i'm
ished artist; with Mr.. Young. the
whole evening was one of such con-
slant pleasure and refreshing surprise
that after the Is songs had been rem
dered the audience remained seated
and enthusiastically demanded an
other, which the singer accommodate
ingly gave. The affair was delight
fully informal, something after the
nature of a lecture recital the artist
introducing each song with a brief
comment regarding its author, the
words, or translating the Italian and
German selections into English. The
selections ranged from the severe to
the lively, from the classic strains of
Rubenstein TO the rollicking Irish song
of to Philadelphia" and everything
was most heartily applauded. Proba-
bly, the numbers that found most favor
with the audience were the
songs by Gaynor, especially Be
cause She Kissed IT. Come
Down to the River THE Song
of the Morn by Madame Young. who
bowed her acknowledgements to the
hearty applause, and the encore num-
Der at the close, "There'H Never be
One Like You" Mr. Young has a bari
tone voice of noble quality. the middle
and lower notes with a peculiar rich
ness of their own. the upper register
fine and telling. In his style. and in
FaIa- raT-fT v1-.ks IL,
Mr. Young shows great improve
ment since the time he was last heard
here. A great part of-the enjoyment of
his songs. is impaired by the admirable
accomplishments of his wifa. who is a
master of this form of musical accom-
plishment; her work throughout, and
in Gounod's Ring Gut, Wild Bells,'' so
beautifully set to TennysOn's words,
were finished To the highest degree. It
is regrettable that the building was
not crowded; those nj attendance could
not express themselves warmly enough
OF the charming entertainment they
had been furnished. Mr.. and Madame
Young return to Chicago tomorrow.
being billed to appear there Thursday

Uncle Toms Cabin by the Cook
Twin Sisters company. holds the
theatre boards this afternoon and
evening. The matinee will he at %
cent rates, which is something of an
innovation in the history of the theatre.

New York papers of last Tuesday
containing notices of Monday nights
dramatic events are at hand: the
Mirror and World reports of Ned
Royle's play Captain Impudence" are
decidedly conflicting. The Mirror says
the audience was large. brilliant and |
enthusiastic. that there were six calls
after the first act. that Royle's part
suited him perfectly, that Mrs. Royle 1
was superb as Jovita, that all the |
others were excellent and that the !
play ought to enjoy a long and success /
full run. The World says the play Is /
talky, praises the cast except Mrs. /
Royle, but generally speaks slightingIy. |
A letter from Mr.. ROyle to friends here |
says the cast was good, but that Nc
Kee Rankin was very hoarse. and that |
he. marred his part by not being UP in
his lines. How long the play will be
kept on is not yet known.

Howard Kyle is coming back to the
Grand, and Messrs. Rogers and Wynn
gate are feeling very hopeful in conse-
quence. He has been engaged to omen
week after next in Master and Man
and will leave San Francisco early next
week for this cit. Mr.. Kyle was al
ways popular here and his coming will
strengthen the company.
