WAGNER GLEE SOCIETY CONCERT.
The Wagner Glee society are deserving
of the warmest praise for their success
| full musical entertainment at the Union
opera house before an audience of over
| 200 in number. The 16 male voices blen
ded harmoniously and sang with vim and
finish. Their numbers were all we'll re-
ceived and won deserved encores. The
local talent which contributed SO much
to the delight of the concert are especi'
ally worthy of favorable mention.
Miss Morean's piano solos were art1s-
tically rendered, while Mrs. Minnie
Smith sang in sweet voice and Mrs.
LueIla Knapp was true in tone and ex
pressed herself in the best of technique.
The trio, composed of the Misses Fisher,
Getchell and Tilton, gave one of the most
pleasing numbers of the programme and
were very enthusiastically received. The
readings by Miss Hattie Brackett and
Miss Gertie Plummer were dramatic and
highly entertaining The duet by Messrs.
Sprague and Harrington was meritorious.
The recalls which attended all who
took part, best bespesks the qualification
which the concert afforded the auditors
and it should be mentioned that the
interval between the two parts of the
programme was made enjoyable by. the
light refreshments which came from
Caterer Rich, and were served by bevy
of pretty little girls.
