BEFORE THE PUBLIC EYE

The program OF the Wakeman concert to-
morrow evening is one that will give much
satisfaction to musicians and at the same
time will offer a, pleasing entertainment for
the less critical auditors. Miss Wakeman s
piano numbers include a Bach chromatic
fantasie and fugue, Chopin group a
Brahms intermezzo, a scherzo and a List
tarantelle. The various numbers which have
been heard privately by some of the best
judges of the city have received enthusiastic
appreciation from them. Miss Wakeman is
a pupil of Nine. Stepanoff, probably the
greatest exponent Of the Leschitizky method,
and was among the foremost of her large
number Of pupils during her recent period of
study in Berlin AS this school is in the
highest favor at the present time, her method
will have a great interest for all piano stu
dents. Franklyn Krieger of ST. Paul, who
will accompany the vocalsts, is also one of
Nine. Stepanoffs recent pupils.
Miss Wakeman will be assisted by Miss
Gertrude Hale, who has not been heard in
concert since her return from Florence Miss
Hale is an especial fayorite with all who
have had the privilege Of hearing her sing
and it is a matter Of regret that her talents
are reserved almost wholly for her friends
and for drawing groom occasions This op-
portunity of hearing her will be all the more
appreciated for its rarity. u S. Kerr will
also assist, and there are many of his
friends and admirers who have not yet had
an opportunity Of hearing. him since his re-
turn from Boston. AS his Minneapolis stay
is TO be short and he is not to appear in any
other large concert, this will afford the most
favorable opportunity Of hearing him
The concert will be held in Plymouth
church, and will undoubtedly be brilliant

The testimonial concert given last evening
in Johnson hall for Miss Esther Osborn was
attended by 2 large audience which was de-
lighted with the progress Miss Osborn made
while studying in New York with Gwylim
Miles. She is the only pupil Mr.. Miles has,
and under his instruction her voice tas
gained in breadth and sweetness. Her dis
tinct enuncistion is a notable feature, and
she has excellent style and finish Her
numbers included an aria from Gounod's
Faust, which was given in a charming
manner. She also sang in a duet with Oscar
Anderson. Miss Constance Osborn contrib
uted piano solos. and Carl Riedelsberger's
violin numbers and Mr.. Anderson's tenor
solos completed most delightful program.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Herbert Dale and
family OF Oshkosh have come to MINNEAPOLIS

Westminster church choir and has recently
returned from Chicago, where he studied
with Charles Clark. the famous barytone.
Mr.. Clark made Dale a hattering offer to
remain in Chicago and assist him in his
classes, but Mr., Dale had already accent ed
the Minneapolis position. His parents. Mr.
and Mrs. Perry Dale, will also come to Min
neapolis TO reside as both their sons, w. II.
Dale and Harvey Dale, are here.
