LAST NIGHTS CONCERT.

1t was a large and representative audit
ence which gathered In the Lyceum last
evening to extend formal welcome home
to John T. Watkins, after his studies at
the Royal Academy of Music i'm London.
1t was an audieLce which gathered with
the earnest curiosity of personal friend
ship touching the extent to which those
studies had developed the popular BARI
tones voice and methods; and 1t was an
audience that carried from the theater
most agreeable feelings of surprise at the
very distinct and evident progress which
Mr.. Watkins has made.
1t is not unfair to say that ere he left
for London Mr.. Watkins, although pos
sessing a robust ana superior voice, lacked
much in a way of polish and effectiveness;
but here he returns displaying an ease
and sureness in tone production and
confidence and self-pose hardly to be
credited as the gain of only one years
tuition, His singing of "Thus Saith the
Lord" and "Who May Abide" from "rhe
Messiah" evldCr Ced marked growth both
in vocll power and I'm muscianly sym
pathy; and in his execution OF the fiorid
types, Nerdis go, Tu Palermo" and "Dio
Possenti' from Faust, there was revealed
a gracefulness and an elasticity of method
justifying almost extravagant commen-
dation. That place among the foremost
dramatic baritones awaits Mr.. Watkins
his foreign training seems assured. AL
ready Scranton has gained an artist OF no
mean rank.
While the interest of the audience CEN
tured naturally i'm Mr.. Watkins, there was
some disposition to re-estimate on second
hearing the effects of foreign training on
the singing of his Northeastern Penn
sylvania colleague at the Academy, Miss
Kaiser. The numbers which she present.
ed were calculated principally to exhibit
her proficiency in colorature. notably so
the Po.Onnaise from "Mignon" ana
Bishops "Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark"
With the latter was offered a flute OBJ
ligato, very daintily executed by Eugene
T. Ham, without the benefit of rehearsal.
In these numbers her exceptionally high
soprano rotes sounded clear, full and
true as the tones of a bell; and the most
difficult runs were achieved without fault
or apparent effort Miss Kaiser also in
Won Weber's ocean, Thou Mighty Mon
ster,' displayed dramatic power of a high
order but it seemed to be the opinion
last evening that her forte would be found
ultimately in the decorative. 1t is certain
that she has, as Mr.. Sousa predicts a
promising future, and by Scrantonians
her progress toward its realization will be
watched with sympathetic interest.
of the remaining entertainers, Mr.. Bey-
non and Miss Allen fully sustained their
well-cstablishcd regulations, and Miss
Parker, the elocutionst, captured at once
the enthusiastic favor of her auditors by
work that was wel!-nigh the best in its
line ever presented in Scranton. In fact
viewed from any standpoint the concert
was gratifying success, and it is not out
Of place to conclude this hasty notice with
the expression of hope that It may be
repeated ere the principals in it return to
their studies abroad.
