St. Paul music lovers who were brave
enough to ignore the rain and attend the
First Baptist church last evening were
| repaid by the excellent concert that was
given there by Miss May Huffsmith, aS-
sisted by Prof. Fairclough, organiSt at
St Johns church; Mr.. Gehan director
of music at the cathedral, and Miss Mil
Ter, elocutionist.
Miss Hutfsmith is a promising young
vocalist who has received most of her
training in st. Paul. She has a sweet
and flexible soprano of pronounced dra-
matte timber. The range is wide and re-
markedly even and the voice possesses
warmth that reveals the musical tenn
permanent of the singer. The faults of the
voice are the faults of immaturity, for
MISS Huffsmith has not yet reached the
tWentles. She has no youthful affecta-
uons, however, and a distinct utterance
and repoSeful manner add much to the
charm of her singing. The numbers she
her voice unduly, served to show its
versatility. The most ambitious song,
VIII Extol Thee from the elijah"
was the most successful from an artistic
STANDPOINT. The plaintive little air from
the opera, Mignon," "Dost Thou Know
| the Land best revealed the sympathetic
| quality OF the singers voice. Miss Huff
smith was fortunate in having a very

Ffelschuetz. Prof. Faircloughs interpre-
tat1ons are aptto appeal more to students
| OF organ music than to music lovers gen
orally. His music is scholarly rather than
Impassloned, but his reading possesses
an innate refinement that gives them
! subtle charm
Mr.. Gehan, who is always a favorite
with St Paul audiences, sang pie Ia

Two encores: Miss Miller is simple and
natural in her methods, and possesses
the charm of a wholesome unaffected
manner so rarely found in elocutionists.
