sion tickets for either of the three sec
lions of the theater are on sale at the
box office and there is no extra charge
for reserving seats The sale has thus
far been large and the balcony VIII De
well peopled. Many lovers of music
hold it to be the best section OF the
house for concert hearing, and it I'M
doubtedly is, but plenty Of seats are
still to be had in parquet and dress
circle Those to appear To-
night in a program adapted to gratlfy
all tastes and to popularize the con-
cert, are Mrs. Birmingham, the leading
contralto of the coast: Miss Maud Fay,
mezZo-sopranO, of whom an interior
paper said last week 'She sang herself
into the hearts of the audience, SO
clever is her method and winning her
voice and it's management; M. Gene
We've Moroney, an accomplished pianist
and accompanist; Harry Girard OF New
York, baritone, who is conceded to be
one of the foremost baritone vocalists
of the day; William ]. Hynes, a popular
humorist, with inimitable mimetic
powers Mrs. Birmingham has been
heard here and with entire satisfaction.
Her low, velvety voice will be remem-
bered as a leading feature of the Treble
Cleft Quartet. Since then she has
studied in Europe and developed re-
markably the volume and quality of
her tones. Miss Fay is a pupil of Anna
Won Meyerwick and is the latest con-
tribution to the class of powerful So
prano soloists that San Francisco has
made Oscar We'll, the composer, COM
pares her favorably to Lille Lehman.
She made a great success in the second
act of the opera 1.-The Flying Dutch
man" as Tenta- Mr.. Girard came to
California but recently He is best
known as a baritone soloist, but also
has fine repute as a. composer, organist
and pianist, ana tonight Will De nedTu
in at least one of his own compositions.
He was organist at Newport, R. l., and
choir master and sang in oratorio in
Boston under musical instruction by
Joseffy Parker, Schmitt & Stubs. In
the season of '9S he achieved great
success in Liga Lehmann's Persian
Garden" in the Eastern States. He
began to sing at the age of IA and for
three years was famous as a boy So
prano in the Church of Holy Trinity,
New York. 1t is said that he has a
repertoire of nearly one hundred ora
torios, cantatas and operas. At the
conclusion of his engagement with Kid
der he goes into opera at the Tivoli,
San Francisco. Miss Moroney is a
pupil of Mrs. Carmichael Carr and
popular in all San Francisco musical
circles according to the Chronicle of
that city, which says that her playing
combines force, tenderness and accur-
ate technique. Mr.. Hynes is repre-
scented as more than clever as a mono
loguist and entirely successful in pro-
voking laughter. The company has
thus far sang in four interior cities
within ten days, and in each case the
local journals speak of it's success with
enthusiasm
