Mr.. Clarence Eddy, organist en- en- Ia
the Peoples church with music ias+

tnoSe fortunate enough to be present
now with the Waflike now with the low,
ing, now with the sad and now with the
happy, that echoes of the varied pro
gramme cannot fail to ring in the heart
OF each individual nearer for long time
to come.
Mr. Eddy opened the programme with
"A Concert Overture in C. Minor ,, 1ol-
Alfred Hollins, and dedicated to the play-
ef OF the evening. 1t was listened to
Win rapt attention and the hearty an
pause at the close of the number show ed
now much he was appreciated.
NINE. FISK followed with two numbers

ana the second, Sandmaenchen.'
bfahIns. 1he Creation Hymn is more
familiar to the music-loving public. hui
Sandmaenchen," though sung in the
original language, German. was. appa1
emily, appreciated more than ANYTHING
heard during the evening, with the pos
sible exception Of lie Cygne'' (Tne
Swan, played by Mr.. Eddy in the next
number. Though the wording of Sand
maenchen9 was not understood by the
larger portion Of the audience, the spirit
of the song was. for happily, trippingly,
| laughingly was it sung.
The next part of the programme by
Mr., Eddy was in three parts. a Prelude
and Fugue in D Major" by ]. S. Bach.
lie Cygne" CFhe Swan, by C. Saint
Saens, and the 'tNuptial March by
Alexander Guilmant. The low, sweet
notes of lie CYgne" touched q re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of all. The
organist was encored and he played the
whole of the piece over again Even
then the audience was not satisfied, but
Mr. Eddy merely nodded in his dignified
way, and commenced to play the ''Nup-
tial March, which was almost the OPP
posite of lie Cygne.'
The programme was long one. Nine.
Fisk, during the remainder of. the even
ing, sang three Arias from Samson ct
Dah!la;' September, Charlton; ''1she
Lass With the Delicate Air" Arnt; 30
That We Two Were Maying," Nevin;

of Handel" W. Wolstenholme; Largo
Allegro:'' Largo" t'Minuet;" Allegro
Cantabile and Teccata," CHI M Widor,
march and chorus from '"Tannhauser,s
Wagner.
The last two songs, 1.-THE Jap Doll'
and "The Gingerbread Man were funny
in their nature and pleased the audience
greatly. Mile Il iSh has d PERSONALITY
that lends character te songs of that
kind.
ALLEGRO Cantabile and Teecata" was
enjoyed almost as much as 1.-THE Swan, >
and the chorus from Wagner fttingly
wound up the programme.
METROPOLITAN
Nine capable players told last evening,
on the stage of the Metropolitan thea ter
one of the prettiest love stories that has
those present for their hearty reception.
Dominion" is not love story that ex-
plains itself in startling heroies, or even
in remarkably brave deeds, but 1t is a
tale of love convincing because of its fine
simplicity; appealing because of its hon
est chivalry; interesting because, alas!
of its rarity Mr. Clay Clement has pre-
scented his characterization OF Baron Won
Hohenstauften before in st. Paul. but it
is a characterization that one is not apt
to tire of, and Mr. Clement has let
season or two slip past since his last visit
to ST. Paul Little, except in praise, can
be said of the play itself. It is a play
that, because of its high-bred tone, ap-
pea1s directly to an audience. The men
and women who tell the story are thor
oughbreds, with two exceptions, and the
darby Napoleon is not one of these. To
be in love, very MICH in love; to speak
the language of ones sweetheart broken
Iy at best; to be always a disadvan-

known, is a trying position for a hero.
That Mr. Clement stirs rhe hearts of his
hearers, even when he makes them
laugh, is a tribute to his art. 1t is q
