GRAND.
A large audience was present at The
Grand last evening to listen to the music
al and dramatic recital given by the pu
pits OF Mrs V. A. Smith and Mr. Henry
de Lorme. The programme, on the whole
was an excellent one, though it probably
occurred TO many last evening that ex-
celIence, like wit, were better brief. The
programme presented would not have
been marred by a 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 Ri
zet's Carmen" "Evermore Lost 20 Me"
Each, 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
evenness, but In her less exacting num-
hers, where the singer found herself en-
tlrely at home. the voice was exquisite.
Miss Sylvia Egan's number, Should He
Opprald, by Bishop, was one Of the most
enjoyable numbers on the programme.
She has dramatic soprano of wide range
and her Interpretation was very spirited
Mr.. Harry Aronson has a fine BARITONE
whose best properties have been brought
out by judicous training. Perhaps of his
numbers the "Sognai," by Schira. was
most appreciated, though all were well
handled.
Mr.. f. McCafrey possesses a 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.. Kari
Heine. His aria from Faust" by Spohr.
was only marred by lack of familiar
ity with the lines.
Miss Caroline Krieger sang a soprano
solo, "Voi che sapete," that was warmly
applauded Other solos were suing NV
Mrs. Shirley, Miss Agnes Denny, Miss
Stella Skok, Mr.. w. StiIlman, Miss Lu-
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 a particularly dainty number.
The dramatic part of the programme
comprised a one-act comedy, 1.-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 NJ
Burt Arr1vee. AS Capt. Trentham,
the comedy, Mr.. Lindholm played the
good-natured fop finely. but it 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.
