OTHER MUSICAL NEWS.
Last night was scarcely one to attract
even the most enthusiastic lovers of
music to a public concert, even when
the performers sustain the reputation
deservedly accorded Weddings favor
lite organization, the Woman's Musical
Club.
Notwithstanding the rigors of the
weather, at least one hundred and fifty
ladies and gentlemen, associate mem
bers of the Club, and friends of the
organization, assembled at A. o. U. w.
hall and were rewarded by a charming
rendition of a programme of which bal
lade music was the distinguishing fea-
ture. The programme, as previously
change. The ladies were gowned in
the style of We olden tyne, and a not
able costume was that worn by Mrs.
Ewalt, it having figured at a reception
given to President Washington more
than three generations ago.
Of the musical Interpretation of the
programme nothing but praise can be
justly given. Mrs Flora Williams, the
vocal soloist of the evening, added, if
such a thing be possible, to her repu-
tation. Two numbers were assigned
her, Robin Adair," and the old sweet
Kathleen Mavourneen." The latter
was particularly appreciated, not, per-
haps, by reason of superior rendition,
but because of it's inherent charm.
Mrs. Ewalt, as the solo pianiste of the
evening, gave renewed demonstration
of her mastery of the instrument. OF
the major and vocal portion of the
programme, praise is deserved by all,
without mental reservation. The dou-
BILE quartette rendition of Annie
Lourie" was particularly effective, and
here again the charm of the old song
combined with the ability of the sing
ers to give satisfaction. The piano
quartette by Misses Brice, Leonhart
Shaw and Radcliffe was also deserving
of special mention.
The affair was throughout the sue
cess it deserved to be, and the ladies
of the Club, active and passive, are to
be congratulated.
The Club will hold it's usual rehearsal
Saturday afternoon next. There will
be no other public performance until
the evening of March 9th, details OF
which will be given due publicity. The
Woman's Club was never so strong or
we'll established in public favor as
at present, and it's future is assured.
This evening the pupils Of Mr.. Ric-
caro- Ricci will give a piano recital at
the Carroll Club Auditorium which
promises much in the way of enjoy
ment, and the indications are for
large audience. The Register has pub
lished the programme, which includes
sixteen numbers. Among the perform
ers will be Miss Harriet Dalzell, Miss
Martha Caldwell, Miss Ida Graham,
Miss Sue Caldwell, Mrs. PEBBLES Tatum,
Miss Grub, Miss Martha OFT, Miss
Letha Frazier, and several gentlemen.
Lucy B. Hayes Circle will give a
Musicale" Thursday evening at the
McLain building. An excellent pro-
gramme has been arranged under the
direction of Miss Ruth Hail. A social
will follow the programme and de-
lightful time is anticipated.
