Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-11-20
MUSICAL.

A. o. U. w. Temple was crowded
last evening by an appreciative aud
fence of lovers of good music, assembled
to listen to the first concert Of the
season of 10000, by the Woman's Mu-
steal Club. The programme, arranged,
by the way, by the old programme
committee-was an excellent one, and
it's rendition was a renewed cause for
congratulation for the officers, the
more than capable conductor, Mrs. Will
liams, and the active membership. The
club grows in excellence with its add
ed years, and the public appreciation
appears to keep pace with both. The
kind things here and heretofore said
are not and have not been written with
an intention to flaIter, but are simply
the deserved tributes to worth, and in
that spirit and intention the Register
has no hesitancy in saying that this
organiza tion-the best Wheeling has
had in its musical history, and it has
had some capable aggrgations of talent
deserves well OF patronage.
The chorus was never better. This
fact was early demonstrated in the OPP
ening Spring Song by Well The
volume was satisfying and the en-
semDle good, while there was salts
flying generality woven about the rem
dition. This vocal triumph was re-
peated il the initial number of the sec
ond part, the Cigarette Girls Chorus, =
from Carmen Light and airy as the
title implies, it was rendered with spirit
and dash, and was veritable triumph
for the active vocal membership. The
Sullivan selection for the chorus was
not without merit, although not quite
up to the others, from a critical stand
point.
Miss Nellie Ebeling's piano solo,
Joseffy's Souvenir d'Amerique," was
a finished and artistic performance.
Her more than usual abilities were
clearly demonstrated, and she was
heard with great satisfaction. Miss
Grace Summers, the violiniste of the
evening, is young lady of most de-
clded talent. For one so young she
acquitted herself more than we'll. being
materially assisted by the accompani-
ment of Miss Amanda Spell Her tone
is good, her technical ability very con-
siderable, and her musical understand
ing beyond the average of one so
young. The vocal trio, which closed
the first part, was we'll rendered and
was a credit to Mrs Farris and the
Misses Egerter.
In the second part, Mrs. Herbert M.
Riheldaffer was at her best. and that
means distinct advancement. In both
the solo and her duet with Mrs. Faris.
her voice was superb, and both ladies
are to be congratulated. Mrs. Will
liams is always excellent That she
did well goes without the saying, and
words of praise are superfiuous. The
piano trio was one of the most pleas
ing features of the programme. Miss
Ebeling and Miss Wolff were the ac-
companists of the evening, Miss Ebel-
ing having the major portion of the
work FALLING to her lot, and these ladies
contributed not little to the success
