A very good-sized audience was out last
night to greet the old time favorite Of
Omaha. Mr. Hans Albert who. with the
assistance Of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Calm,
Mrs. Gale and Mr.. Fred Ellis gave a very
delightful concert at the Boyd theater.
Mr. Albert was in a most excellent and
mellow mood and played with that sym
pathy for which he has always been noted.
In response TO the applause of a most de-
lighted audience he gave an an encore very
touching arrangement OF "Old Folks at
Home" 1t is with great regret that we
part from MIR. Albert as a soloist and only
trust that in the studio work he takes IN
he will find as much pleasure as he has in
times past given TO his hearers.
OF Mr. Calm too much cannot be said h
to his conscientious work. his perfect tech
nique and beautiful conception of the COM
posers' thoughts. His rendition Of the
Dedication" by Schumann- List, In his
first series, the "Gavotte" Of Gluck- Brahms
and the "Polonaise" Of Paderewsh in the
second series. Iwere all given with wonder
full style and finish. proving in his versa.
tiity his right 20 rank with the real artists
of the present time.
This was Mrs. Gahms first appearance rs
a professional and most nobly did she
acquit herself. playing her beautifully toned
and picturesque harp with charming ease
OF manner and delicacy of touch, showing
the result OF the hard work she has beer
doing under the instruction of Signor En-
rico Tramonti The "Welch Melody" was
very much enjoyed. Her friends remem.
bered her in that best OF ways, by deluging
her with flowers.
Mrs. Kate Norcross Gale is a new add.
ton to the ranks of Omaha's sopranos. She
possesses a mezzo voice of very good range
which was at its best in the song of Pas
sard's Good Day, Marie" As an encore
she sang in a very delightful manner Love
is Bubble"
A much felt need in Omaha of fn'
basso-baritone has been supplied by Mr.
Ellis, who has one of those absolutely true
voices, which nothing can shake from tht
pitch. having besides a tender and sympa
thetic quality, which, IN addition to his
thoroughly artistic manner OF singing
makes his appearance as a soloist delight
to bis audience. His rendition of "Oedipe =
Colone" was very dramatic, and in the bal
lads he sang to equal advantage
Taken as a whole the concert was up to
| high mark of professional work, only prov
ing what talent we have right here in oul
own city that we have but too seldom
heard.
