A Splendid Entertainment ut Tur-
per Hall.
The fair sized audience which bravcd
the somewhat muddy streets and dris.
cling weather TO listen TO the concert by
the Louise Brehany company at Turner
hall last night, was accorded musical
treat. And those who remained away
have lost an opportunity in opera and
ballet music which fortune may not soon
again provide.
The entire company, with one or two
possible exceptions. are artists, and fair
merit may justly be accorded in cases OF
the exceptions.
OF Miss Louise BrehaBy It may BE- said
that she is as attractive, genial and plsas-
Ing In her reasonably modest manners as
she is beautiful in figure and features.
Her magnificent soprano Is clear. rich aud
at times OF wide gange, yet it is az sweet
and sympathetic as a bird in It's sJrrowful
notes OF autumn. Whine the rendition Of
her more classic selections are OF The
spell bound order. her cnarm!rg little
bailnds are as fun oil cheerful melody and
coyness as beautiful child At play. In
her encore Suppose" she again gnaciously
second encore, giving this time LULLABY"
IN conualto voice which was decit dy
the pathetic success OF the enteriaiumsn mt.
Mi George Dethlefs has rich baritone,
aud tones we'll rounded aud emphatic.
lie has good control OF his voice aud would

as he is 4 fair actor. as shown IN tho sclec-
ton from Martha.
Miss Jessie Waters is beautiful biu-
nette 10 begin with, aud her splendid

Ar Herbert Wheatly has credltabie

appreciation vas given encores on his
initial appearance.
Miss Agnes Pringle. the violnist, is
evidently The youngest member Of the
company, apparently not out of her
teens. While the music she renders
Is very creiitablo and at times OF artistic
merit, she appears with a desire TO be too
on all her notes and handles
her bow with a nervous impressiveness
that appears in the rendition Of the softer
tones as painful. This. however, applies
polntedly to her manner OF execution, over
which the splendid results achieved is Il
deIlshtiul improvement.
OF MIR. Sauylet, the pianist for the COM
pany. as We'll as an artist In solo music
too much prmiEe can not be given. He is
a native OF Poland and in musical educa-
tion is OF tho German school
obtaining delightful results from the
piano forte comes easy 10 him In his uu-
a se'umiug manner. suggestive of a msi-
cian by birth, independent of his thorough
education. An his rendjtions, as he inter
nrets them, are so fun OF SELF eX PLANTATION
that child of monosyllabes can read the
story that h. tells. He appears TO get
more music with less ostentation and DIS
play than one pianist In hundred. arid
could be considered az a credit in COMPANY
with the first performers in the land
The second bali OF the evenings pleas
ure was an adaptation, being the second

for the rendition of musical gems, which
was readily tnkcn advantage OF by this
meritorious company.
