NUS c LuD MUSICIANS.

A thoroughly artistic and delightful con
cert was given last night at the Auditorium
by Madame Eames and her company. The
house was comfortably filled and the great
est enthusiasm prevailed.
Madame Eames Is woman OF regal and
commanding beauty. Her voice is very
fine, but not remarkable when compared
with such one as sembrich possesses. Her
hrst number on the program. recitative
and aria from "Cosi fan Luth," by Mozart,
was changed and the Jewel Song" from
Faust given instead. This was rather
disappointment as the Jewel Song has
been given here many. many times and
Madame Games was particularly htted 60
do justice to the Mozart aria. Changing
| the program seemed to be the order of
| the evening. Instead of the group OF songs
I which the prima donna was to sing:
| a. Who Is sylvia .....:.......... sehubert
b. Am Sonntag Morgen" ........... Brahms
| c. Spring ......!..............s. Henschel
she gave one Strauss number and THE
Songs Ny Mother Taught Me-" by Dvorak.
| Spring" by Henschel, she adhered to and
! gave In a charming manner. Her voice
in the songs was much more effective than
| in the Gounod aria. She works up to fine
! dramatic heights In her first encore,
THE Years at the Spring" this phase Of
her art showed plainly. She is dramatic
but not temperamentai. Her intonation is
not always faultiess.
The duet at the end of the program was
also changed and Faure's "Crucifix'
given instead Of the duet from Hamlet"
In this work Madame Eames and Mrs. de
GogorEa sang in a way which made one
resentful at being obliged to miss the Am
broise Thomas number.
The company which assisted Madame
Eanies was adequate in every way. The
program as a whole was most satisfying
Mr., de GoEorZa, the baritone. has a beau
tiful, velvety, mellow voice with an ocea-
sional tenor quality. He is temperamental
to degree and sings his songs with ex-
quisite feeling and finish. The prologue
from "Pagliacci was given with great
dramatic effect. The audience was so en-.
thusiastic that he appeared again and sans
t THE Toreador Song" from Carmen" II
his group Of songs the way in which hC
used his voice. the color effects which HI
produced. were even more noticeable. la
, Partida" by Alvarez, is a most lovely BIZ
OF writing, and Mr.. de GogorEa gave q
its full worth. In addition to the group h,
sang one English ballad. when Thou Ar
I Near" by Lohr. -..
r The 'cellist, Mr.. Joseph Holman, is ON

: delightful musician. His numbers were re
ceived with much applause. The Hande

j dignity. The largo was especially we'll don

? like thing, winning much praise.
c Mr. Amherst Weber, the pianist and az
companist, did splendid work.
- The concert was one OF the most en- loI
