Miss Eileen O'Moore's
Conquest Of Honolulu.
An Artist of the First Grade = A
Fine Audience Very Enthusiastic.
Mr. Isenberg-Mrs Woodward.

Both from point of number and from
composition, the audience for the violin
recital at the opera house Saturday ev-
ening was a brilliant one for Honolulu.
The fame of Miss Eileen O'Moore had
summoned the wealth and culture of
the city. The violin recital was in ev-
cry way all that had been promised.
Miss O'Moore is an artist of the first
rank, is a great musician and in her
stage presence, attractive and charm
ing. Upon her first bow to the audi
ence, she was given an enthusiastic re-
ception, and before her initial number
had been completed, had captured all,
winning the unqualified admiration
alike of musicians and lovers of music.
performer and her rendition is with
the dash, boldness, confidence, express
sion and thorough technique of one en-
dowed marvelously with talent for
handling the violin and improved to
well-nigh perfection by study, training
and experience. Nothing that could be
said here would add in the least to the
reputation of Miss O'Moore as a violin
artist, but it must be readily granted
that Honolulu in her visit has had a
stroke of extraordinary good fortune
AT times on Saturday evening the audi
ence was so enraptured with the me-
lody and harmony of skill and touch
that it was almost emotional. Miss o.
Moore was very obliging with encores
and from friends received bountiful
offering of tropical flowers. Miss o.
Moore is a pupil of the famous Ysaye
and has been playing in public since
she was nine year of age. She is a
prize graduate of the greatest of Ger
man Conservatives. Miss O'Moore
speaks German fluently). She is now
making her second tour around the
world and is due again in London in
few months. 1t is the addition of
Ysaye's teaching to her own genius
that has made her perhaps the leading
interpreter of pure and rich tones,
double stopping, sustained trills, the
octaves, runs, turns and artificial har-
monies. In all these she excells. The
most difficult selection of Saturday
night was the Paganini Concerto" and
the Gypsy Dance" was probably the
most fetching.
Ine amateur orchestra, led by Mr..
Wray Taylor, has improved very much
during the past few weeks and on Sat
urday evening accomplished with gen
uine success the most successful under
takings of its whole career. The great
est praise is due the organization.
Mr. Paul Isenberg is a thorough
musician and has grand tenor voice,
which is used perhaps to the best adj
vantage in a German selection. He
gave two of these at the concert and
was required in each instance to re
spond. Mr.. Isenberg as a vocalist is a
delight to his friends and treat to the
public when it pleases him to sing out
side the circle of his companionships
Mrs. R. F. Woodward has a noble
soprano voice that has improved very
much within the past year. She was
down for two numbers and was recall
ed. Mrs. Woodward has clear, power
full voice of the finest, sweetest quality
and has it under perfect control. 1t
was said by many that her singing on
Saturday evening was the very best
she has ever done in Honolulu.
Prof. Oscar Herold was the accom-
PIANIST and musical director for the
concert and acquitted himself in his
usual thorough and finished manner.
Another violin recital will be given
by Miss o'Moore on next Saturday ey-
ening.
