and presented an equally different style
of entertainment. She is at the zenith
of her fame as a prima donna-one of
the greatest singers of her time, and
Salt Lake appreciated her as such.
There were some rumors of her not
very courteous behavior toward Salt
Lakers, but as an artist she left moth

and the orchestra of the Symphony So

almost beyond belief. With her sister,

of the Bostonians at the Theatre in
March. The advance sale broke ALI
records, and breathing room was at a
premium at all the performances. The
operas given were THE Serenade" and
Robin Hood" and the company con-
sisted of all the old favorites, includ- !
ing Jessie Bartlett Davis, Eugene
Cowles and Henry Clay Barnabee. The,
prima donna was Alice Nelson, who
made a great hit.
Jennie Hawley. a Salt Lake girl, was
with the company, and played Alan-a-l

Robin Hood
During the early part of the year
there were three consecutive weeks OF
light opera at the Grand, by the
Calhoun and Grau companies. Very
fair presentations of well-knoWn light
operas were given, and the theatre
was filled at every performance, con-
shutting a record breaIing run.

ACCOMPLISHED INMUSICAL CIRCLES
Glance Backward at the Achievements During 1898
0rpheuS Clubs Subscription Concerts.

To review all the details of a year
that is gone would. in a sense. be a
waste OF time, for, in the words of the
old song, "All that's past is gone. you
know" But this same song goes on
to tell us that "the future is but a
dream" So, while we stop to catch
out breath on New Years day, for an
other year of enterprise and hurry,
perhaps it is just as well to look back
ward little, while dreaming of the
future, and thus compare what we have
done with what we can do.
The year 1893 viii be counted as es-
sentially a year of martial exploits for
this country time when the only
music which has caught the ears and
stirred the hearts of the people has
been Of patriotic character.
We have heard the unaccustomed
rhythm of marching feet" and in our
minds has echoed the roar of battle.
For all these things will the year be re-
menDered in history. And yet, owing,
in a measure, perhaps to the blessed
shortness of the strife, the cause OF
music has gone on in the country. and
much good work has been done for its
advancement.
Here in Salt Lake. the season which
closes with the dawn of 1899 has been
one Of at least the usual activity In
musical circles. 1t is true that some of
cur musical workers have gone from
US during the year. in search of wider
f~aas, but others have come to us. who
have the good of the cause at heart.
IL is pleasant to note that in one par
ticular direction a tremendous stride
has been made for the musical welfare
of the community. The credit of this
praiseworthy effort to bring what is
best from the art centers of the coun-
try to Salt Lake, is due to the Orpheus
club. The club has demonstrated the
possession of d keen business capacity,
in addition to its reputation for being
the best male chorus in the city
The OrDheus is now in the seventh
year of IT'S existence. and has an en-
rolled membership of about forty. From
time to time since its organization It
has been heard in concerts and recit-
ais. and gained great vogue for both
public and private entertainments. But
the browning effort was made early
last year, when the plan of subscription
concerts was inaugurated. The scheme,
for the first season, was to give SER
les of three concerts. for two of which
the best outside talent was to be Sc
cured that the amount subscribed
would warrant. a good beginning was
made, inasmuch as it gave people a
clear idea of the object in view, and
public approval, Of a necessarily sub
stantial character. was promptly be-
slowed. There was no mercenary OBJ
ject on the part of the club for the
whole amount subscribed was eXpend-
ed on the concerts.
The first of the series was given In
the Congregational church the latter
part of January, to introduce Miss AIDE
laide Beardsley, soprano. and Mr.. Adj
ans Owen, bassO. of Denver.

! May 5 was the date of the second
| concert, with Miss Lila Johnson of
Kansas City as soloist. On this occasion
the club gave it's first rendition OF
! Chadwicks Viking" with orchestral
accompaniment, arranged by j. j. Nc
| Clellan-an excellent number
At both Of these concerts the best Of
! local talent assisted, and. at the clos
] ing concert of the season, on June 4.
a very creditable programme was made
UP with exclusively home artists. who
were: Mrs. Anna Colborn Plummer.
Mime. Swenson's ladies' chorus. Master
Arthur Peterson and Mr.. H. s. God
dard.
with the first season as an intro
ductory, the club felt that it would not
be difficult To interest the public in a
similar plan for a second season. and,
with its assistance, could very far sur
pass the first series. The experience
and popularity gained laid a good foun-
dation for a promise of this sort. The
first concert of the series. given in the
Congregational church on Dec. s. gave
ample testimony of merited success.
The club was heard in three excellent
numbers, Robin Affair."" Franz Abt's
Absence" and THE Bedouin Song" by
Arthur Foote. The soloists were Mr..
Day Williams, 'cellist. and Mr.. Glenn
Hall, tenor, both of Chicago.
Mr. Williams charmed the audience
with his reditions upon the cello. which
has rarely been heard as a solo inStru-
nlent in Salt Lake.
Mr. Hall is probably equal to any
tenor who has ever sung in Salt Lake.
and is certainly the best one heard
here for some time. Combined with a
good voice, he possesses admirable dis
erection. and his phrasing is most artis-
tic. His dramatic temperament was
very marked in his first number. an
aria from "Reginello," and all through
his rendition he showed that priceless
gift for singer-a soul.
The enthusiastic audience demanded
an encore after every number. and Mr.
Hall gained its lasting good will by
his gracious responses.
Mr.. J. ]. McClellen. one of Salt Lakes
most efficient accompanies. was at the
piano.
Schubert's "Serenade." sung by Mr..
Hall, cello obligato by Mr.. Williams.
and the piano part by Mr.. Mcclellan,
was the gem of the evening. and the
performers were obliged to repeat the
number.
The concert was in every respect the
most successful yet given by the club.
and was a most suspicious opening for
the new season. The concerts to come
