duced by the Soloists and Choruses
IN at the Opera House.
" 1t was pretty picture presented at the
Opera House Tuesday when the Musical
Union presented it's annual May Festival
Concert, rendering the dramatic cantata,
1.-THE Light of Asia" The audience was
large, composed of the musical loving
people, and was thoroughly appreciative.
The bright, light, airy costumes of the
feminine portion of the audience added
gay and charming aspect.
The great stage was ablaze with light.
additional electric border lights having
been arranged to assist in the illumi-
nation. The front of the stage was taste
fully decorated with red, white and blue
bunting.
The chorus was particularly full and as
the singers sat in the elevated chairs
made very pretty stage picture.
Of the concert it can be said that it was
most pleasing and entertaining. Not that
the libretto was as bright and catchy as
the cantata Rose Maiden" so delight
fully rendered last February, but was
dramatic in the extreme, requiring one to
closely follow the story as portrayed by
by the author.
The orchestra, not so large as upon pre-
vious occasions, did not have the bright,
dashy accompaniment provided in other
compositions, the score being much more
difficult. demanding greatest attention to
execution in all it's detail.
Director Janvier had absolute control
of the large chorus, and much of the
credit of the success of last nights con-
cert is his, in his masterful Interpretation
of the composers great work. There
were few of the choruses that developed
the capacity of the singers, but were
rather of that nature requiring constant
attention to harmony, sympathy and ex-
preston, intensely dramatic in all it's
passages. The closing chorus was
grand, and carried the melody into glori-
Gus heights, bringing out the composers
conception of the story, a veritable burst
of light.
Of the soloists little but the most
friendly criticism can be expressed. Miss
Wright, of Boston, soprano, had many
opportunities of giving her voice all
ranges, and succeeded admirably in the
most difficult selections.
Mr.. Harding, tenor, and Mr.. higgins,
basso, did delightfully."-. Both were in fine
voice, and they seemed to enter deeply
into the sentiment of the story. In the
trios Miss Wright and Messrs Harding
and higgins were exceedingly ap-
preciated, the harmony being exquisite.
The ovation that followed the finale was
q deserved compliment to the Musical
Union, and shows the appreciation in
which the organization Is held by the
musical loving people.
Following the cantata the chorus and
audience Joined in singing with patriotic
fervor the glorious song, "The Star
Spangled Banner" 1t was fitting close
of the entertainment, in these stirring
times Of war,

ed to starve him out, or at least to al

Havana would cost an enormous sacri-
fee Of life and require a siege Of long

Blanco keeps his soldiers within the
