MUSICAL.

On Tuesday evening last a very inter-
esting vocal recital was given by num-
Der of Mr.. Ricardo Ricci's pupils at the
Arion Hall. These annual recitals have
gained quite a reputation for the high
merit of work done and the really good
music constituting the programmes. 1t
would be impossible to write at length of
each selection, but the rare merit of some
of the performances warrants special men
ton. Miss Sue Caldwell certainly sur
passed anything she had previously done
on the concert platform. Her first solo,
Tell Me Why was sung with great in
tensity and finish, while her rendering of
the waltz (Mirelle) by Gounod, wa< re-
markedly brilliant and fairly enthused her
audience. Miss Metzners work also made
a great impression and showed the result
of careful study. Her delivery of the
recitation was thoughtful and intelligent,
while the aria was a beautiful piece of
cantable singing. Mrs. Leon Klee, too.
was in fine form and gave great pleasure
by the beauty of her voice and soulful
singing of songs by Chaminade and Allit-
sen. AS usual the work of Miss Frazier
was very artistic and much enjoyed
Her singing of Nevin's Rosary was par
ticularly effective Miss Harriet Dalzell
Miss Elsie Gundling, Miss H. Schwert-
feger, Miss n. Schmidt and Miss Martha
OFT were the other lady soloists who con-
tributed much to the evenings pleasure.
OF the gentlemen, the Rev. c. Hely Mo-
Longs charming baritone was heard to adj
vantage in the famous Star of Eve
from 'Tannhauser Mr. David Craw-
ford gave a vigorous rendering of Haw-
ley's "Bedouin Love Song" and Mr. Cur
tbs Clark achieved decided success by
his artistic singing of Schubert's WAN
derer" and Danny Deever." The ensem-
BILE singing was thoroughly appreciated
and the result must have been most graf
flying to Mr. Ricei, whose tireless energy
and capable leadership made the evening
such success. The new composition by
Mrs. Ricci, "Orpheus With His Lutte" re-
ceived very flattering applause and had
to be repeated. though encores were
against the rule. AS usual, Mrs. Ricci pre-
sided at the piano. and once more proved
herself an efficient and muscianly accom-
PIANIST.
