1t is difficult to describe just the class
in which last evenings entertainment
at the tabernacle ought to be placed.
II 1t were not for the unique dances
which add to the attractiveness and the
variety of the performance, il would
easily come under the title of a con-
cert. But under any classification the
performance is inspiring. The music is
of a lighter order than that interpreted
by the Italian band several weeks ago.
1t does not touch the musical extrava-
ganza level heard at the Theatre, but
there is more of the comic opera, waltz
and concert variety, and it is more
popular for this reason.
Throughout it all there is the sug-
gestion of heather. blue bells and sun
IL fields. 1t is suggested in the bag
pipe specialties, in the dances, the
songs and the picturesque kits worn
by the players.
The band numbers were not only pop
uiar. but they were interpreted in fin
ished style. The first number. Il Puri-
| tani," gives an excellent idea of the
entire work. 1t was artistic, and the
first part has light movement in
which the French horns and the reeds
are conspicuous. For an encore the
band played a medley of national airs,
and the applause was incesSant
throughout the Instrumentation
The instrumental work does not con-
clude the musical accomplishment of
the artists. The sixth number was a
selection by triple quartette The
voices were mellow and tuneful. and
| the number proved to be one of the
most enjoyable of the evening. Reel.
| sword and other Highland dances, with
| instrumental and vocal solos, followed
| in quick succession, and one number
was barely finished before the next one
IL
turbed by the applause
One of the effective instrumental
numbers of the evening was the selec-
ton from III Trovatore," played for an
encore by the clarinet soloist, with
band accompaniment. In this number
some clever work was done by one of
| the rnetists. who was stationed in
the galleries. Among the solo features
of the evening was the selection by
J. Coates Lockhart and the Highland
dance by Master Eugene Lockhart.
The performance will be repeated
| with a change of programme at the
matinee this afternoon and this even
! ing. At the request of the band and
the leader, William F. Robinson, the
Tabernacle choir is requested to be in
its place tonight and render two Sc
lections during the programme, and at
the close give selection for the band.
Professor Mcclellan win also give a
performance and the audience is in
vited to remain.
