GRAND.
A large audience was present at .he
Grand last evening to listen to the music
al and dramatic recital given by the pu-
pills Of Mrs " A. Smith and Mr.. Erenry
de Lorme. The programme, on the whole.
was an excellent one, though 1t probably
occurred to many last evening that ex-
cellence. like wit, were better brief The
programme presented would not have
been marred by shortening process
Mrs. Katherine Gray had the opening
numbers BraVura Study, Lamperti. and
an aria from Weber's Der Frieschutz."
Later Mrs. Gray sang group of songs.
Where Dwell the smugglers," from BIZ
zet's Carmen "Evermore Lost 20 Me-"
zach, and ''Vilanelle." by Chaminade.
Mrs. Gray has a soprano of unusual
sweetness and purity of tone. Some OF
her numbers, the selection from Car
men," for instance, revealed a slight I'M
eNenness, but in her less exacting num-
hers, where the singer found herself en-
t1reiy at home, the voice was exquisite.
Miss Sylvia EganS number, Should He
Upbra1d,' by Bishop, was one of the most
enjoyable numbers on the programme
she has a dramatic soprano of wide range
ana her Interpretation was very spirited.
Mr.. Harry Aronson has fine baritone.
whose best properties have been brought
out by judicious training. Perhaps of his
numbers the "Sognai," by Schira, was
most appreciated, though all were well
handled
Mr. e. McCaffrey possesses very sweet
lyric tenor and his singing of Gounod's
SalYe Dinora" called forth warm ap-
plause. Another singer whose baritone
numbers were well handled was Mr.. Karl
Heine. His aria from Faust, by Spohr,
was only marred by a lack of familiar
ity with the lines.
Miss Caroline Krieger sang a soprano
solo. "Voi che sapete," that was warmly
applauded. Other solos We're suing by
Mrs. Shirley, Miss Agnes Denny, Miss
Stella Skok, Mr. w. Stillman Miss Luz
ellie Egan, Mr.. Abe Arrivee, Miss Martha
Benedict and Mrs. Myrtle Burnett Nor
quist. Mrs. Norquist's numbers were
sung with perhaps more finish than the
others. Her solo, My Rosary" by Nevin,
was particularly dainty number.
The dramatic part Of the programme
comprised a one-act comedy, The Mar
BILE Arch" with Miss Martha Benedict,
Miss Lottie Arrivee, Mr.. Charles Lind
holm and Mr.. Burt Arrivee in the cast,
and two scenes from ':The Merchant of
Venice" These dramatic bits served to
introduce two opponents of histrionic art
who are considerably beyond the amateur
mark, Mr.. Charles Lindholm and Mr..
Burt Arrivee. AS Capt. Trentham, In
the comedy, Mr.. Lindholm played the
good-natured fop finely but 1t was in the
character of Shylock that he revealed the
possession Of unusual dramatic ability.
Mr.. Burt Arrivee was equally at home In
beth parts he essayed. Others in the cast
gave their lines careful reading.
