bakhen LaSSon, the Norwegian ballad
singer, mentioned in former issue, will
come to St. Paul next Thursday evening
when she will make her first appearance
at Raudenbush hall
She Is spoken very highly of by the
New York and Chicago papers, her spe-
cial ability being in the line of inter-
preting Scandinavian folk songs and bal
lads.
She Is said to possess a mezzo soprano
OF fine quality, and, being only twenty
four years old she Is in the prime Of
youth and attracts as well by her winning
appearance as by her voice..
Her support consists Of Olaf Halls, vio-
fnfst; Oscar Ringwall, the Swedish clar-
met soloist, and Harry Randall, accom-
PIANIST. The programme will consist prin-
ctpally Of Scandinavian music, and Mr..
Halls will play compositions by Braduns.
WieniawsN and Johan Svendsen.
Miss Lssson plays some of her own ac-
compartments on the lutte, an old-fash-
Toned and rare instrument which Is
hardly ever heard nowadays, but upon
Which she has gained great proficiency.
1t is well suited to her style Of singing
and her critics speak Of her as simply
irresistible in these numbers.

Mrs. Jane Huntington Yale and the
Minnesota State band will be two attrac-
lions which should make highly inter-
esting programme for the concert this
evening at the Grand opera house. It
Is principally a band concert and will be
given by q band which is second to mona
in the Northwest.
c. M Selling is the able conductor Of
the Minnesota State band and it has been
his object for years to bring its work Up
to the very highest standard. The MEM
bers of the band have been working very
hard all winter on their repertoire as the
performance this evening will show.
Mr.. Selling has been slow to have his
band appear in concert here, wishing to
gain very high standard of excellence
before giving public programme. The
character of the programme is varied, in
Guiding both classical and popular num-
bers. Two compositions from the pen of
the conductor will be heard for the first
time ard the public will have, not only
opportunity to judge of the work OF the
band. but also Of the merits of Mr.. Sell
ing as composer. Mrs. Yale, 1t Is al
ways pleasure to hear, but a pleasure
too seldom granted to her own townspeo-
pie.
The following programme will he given
this evening:

A number of the pupils of Mrs. Vina
Avery Smith and Mr.. Henry de Lorme
gave a recital Thursday evening at their
studios. The programme was made up en-
tirely of spring songs, which were rem
dered in a manner to delight the $50 mu-
sic lovers that were present. Each singer
entered heartily into the spirit of the
composition she interpreted, and the Diff
ferent numbers were sung with a dainty
finish that rendered them doubly attrac
tive.
c. A. Lindholm, dramatic pupil OF Mr..
de Lorme, gave number OF clever char
acter sketches of the ''Dowp-East Farm
er.''
Those taking part In the musical pro-
rrarnme were Mrs. Catherine Gray. Mrs
