Recital.
Spencer Robinson, tenor, and Miss
Bertha Sonntag, contralto. were the
entertainers in a brilliant musical
given at the Rock Island Club last
night, and which was enjoyed by q
large audience of the club mem bers
and their friends. The singers were
warmly received, and the enthusiasm
was so persistent they were obliged to
respond to several encores. Miss Sonn-
tag began the program, giving a
group of three selectiOns-"Du Bist
vie Fine Blume, " Chaminade's ''Mad-
rigal," and Love Me if l Live" Mr.
Robinson then rendered Blue Bells
of Scotland. :" ii. H. Beach's .sEcsta-
Cyl and Schumann's ''Widmung."
For a duet Il Live and Love Thee"
was selected, and was most charming
ly done. Miss Sonntag sang another
group, Calm as the Night, " If Only
You Were Mine" and Were Star. =
and Mr.. Robinson followed with If
Thou Were't in the Cauld, Cauld
Blast" 90, Fair. 0. Sweet and
Holy" believe Me if Those En-
dearing Young Charms" group
of Scotch and Irish ballads, and
The Last Rose of Summer,
and King Duncan's Daughters. a."
The singers gave for their closing
number duet, Gentle be Thy Slum-
bers," but their audience demanded
more, and they kindly consented to
repeat this beautiful selection, but
the applause continued and Mr.. Rob-
inson sang another solo. Both sing
ers were in fine voice, and gave an
entertainment that was indeed de-
lightful. They were admirably &C
companied on the piano by Miss
Bessie Gilmore.
