The daily sentinel., 1899-02-04

Mrs. Bates not only in this city. but
throughout the state has reputation as
one OF its most charming songsters She
has appeared in concert In Salt Lake
and Denver very frequen tly and the
press has been unit in praise OF her
voice. She did not disappoint her
friends either, last night. Her voice
was in spendid tune and every note was
delight for those who heard her. The
applause she received attested her great
populirity among the friends of her
childhood and young womanhood.
"The Darky Cavalier" by Loon Chap
man set the house in extraordinary good
humor with itself. 1t was a rollicking
darky song and was above the average
in merit. 1t was this song that intro
ducsd the Royal Body Guard, four of
the most grotestque figures that the
imagination Of man could conceive.
Darkest Africa never produced human
shapes, which wore 30 utterly ridiculous
as was this famous body guard. Under
command Of Leon Chapman. these lost
links OF human kind attempted to march
to the music of the song. It would be
simply Impossible to describe tho dress
OF these monstrosities aud parodisa on
human bodies but for mirth produc-
ing effect they did not have their equal
Shall we expose the names of these in
dividuals, which the power Of the opera
glass could not discover to the audience,
they were Edward Wadsworth, John
Thomas, DR.. George Warner and John
Peirce.
1t remained for Miss May Armstrong
to sing the closing number of the first
part. The song was entitled Don't Be
Cross" Never was more charming num-
Der heard from professional or amateur
singer than was this song by Miss Arm
strong. What education and careful
training can do for the human voice has
been done for her and without being ef-
fusive, it is simply charm to hear her
in vocal selection. The simple, easy
graceful manner Of the lady was an add
ed pleasure and she was given great
recall, which was simply thunderous in
its demand. Tho chorus part of tho
song was given with more volume and
dash and it was fitting and beautiful
closing for the first part.
During the interludes Msssrs. Ken
nedy and Chapman amused the audi
ence with some Jokes and local quips
which carried lots OF fun with them. A
young man, whose prominence arose
from having several beer bottles a. add
ed appendages to bis rather weak eye
sight, was the butt Of one very taking
quip, which seemed to touch q very re-
eponsive chord in the audience, a. they
simply. howled at the allusion.
A series of living pictures; given with
calcium light effects, added much to the
en- tertainment.
They were all we'll presented. The
