SINGS AGAIN TONIGHT.

| SINGS AGAIN TONIGHT.
| An account OF the concert at the Craw
| ford Grand last night, and OF the i'm
mense audience present appears in an
other place in this issue Tonight Mis-:
YaY and her company will give another
! concert at the opera house, with an en-.
tire change of program. One OF III,
most celebrated vocal selections in the
repertoire of Miss Yaw is the mad scene
from Hamlet" which viii be given
during the concert tonight Holders OF
season tickets in the concert and lect-
ure course viii be given the privilege OF
half-price admission by showing their
season tickets at the advance sale dur
ing the day at Mosbacher's or at the
box Office in the evening.
This date tonight comes between the
western and southern tour Of Miss Yag
anc her company, and the day would
nave been one of rest for the artists but
on account of the great demand for an
other opportunity 10 hear Mss Yaw.

tins arrangement was finally consuIn-
mated. Miss Ysw has voice not great
III its voluminousness but powerful in it's
sympathetic appeal to the higher art and
nobler thought. Last night she sang
several selections in whose high runs
and trilis her clear voice could not be
told from the notes upon the piano.
Then both voice and piano completing
the scale together the voice and me-
cnanical tones became gradually more
and more apparent until both stood out
IN all their beauty. The tone of a clear
piano note IS we'll known, but a voice
with tone OF the same quality IS very
rare. The lamentei Emma Abbott car
ried away with her the hearts Of all her
hearers. Miss Yaw has taken her place
L any one can. She is never what some
might imagine her to be off the stage
but Is indeed d very sweet little lady
with none Of the stage hoydenishness
about her whatever but every act was
perfectly natural and unaffected. The
concert was as fine an affair as has been
in the city for a long time. and as Miss
faw will probably not be in this part of
the country again for some time all who
miss it tonight will regret it.

sonated by Opal Street. The change
from life with nature and singing birds

vate. Miss Opal expresses the highest
emotional character and illustrates the
susceptibilities of the mind 10 all that is
attractive and refined in the transf0rma-
ton. She is. ir fact, the child OF nature,
the Little Savage, the loving, devoted
charming daughter.
Mrs. =. L. Short is one of the brighte
young members of the Hypatia, and is
equal to anything she may undertake.
