Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-04-29

Among Tie entertainments III the city
during the week was a recital given by
Mrs. Helen Thomas and Miss Finnegan
in the Christian church Thursday even
ing. The ladies were assisted by Mr.. Otto
Gabel, the we'll known pianist: Mr.. J.
Broughton, the violincellist; Mr.. Jack
Thomas, the singer. and Mrs. Eda Hill
also a pianist of note. Every seat in tbs
cosy edifice was occupied, and to simply
say that all did not enjoy the various
pieces rendered would be travesty on
justice. There was not a hitch in the
production of the entire programme; and
all the work in connection with it was
cleverly executed. One of the features
of the musical portion was a violin solo
by Miss Nicola Thomas, the 9-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Thomas. 1t was played
by special request, and although the
melody was not one containing all the
intricate run of a Wagnerian operate
composition it was far sweeter and de-
livered in a mastery manner. Her tech
nique was perfect.
A highly pleasing number on the pro-
gramme was the singing Of Miss Time
gan, who recently came from Chicago to
visit her brother, the East Broadway

cultivated contralto- voice, and it is APP
parently just as easy for her to sing as
it is to read. Her selections were re-
ceiVed with that enthusiastic applause
which a critical audience always extends
real genius and ability.
AS a vocalist Mr.. Jack Thomas is not
by any means ordinary; in fact he is one
of the best in the city. He sang two selec-
tons, one of which was in response to
an encore.
The recital was opened with the rendi-
ton of "Martha' by Madam Thomas
orchestra composed of Mrs. Thomas, Mr.
Broughton, Mr.. Gabel and three or four
little girls. The piece was so highly APP
proved by the audience that one of
Sousa's marches was also played.
