In hearing Marie Hall on Thursday
evening last, an attempt was made to
find some consolation for living in
these isolated islands, where certainly
the atmosphere of everything else is
present but that of music. And cam
not this be found in this way? Is it
not barely possible that not being con-
stantly in a musical atmosphere it
makes our real enjoyment all the
more intense, when artists like Misses
Hall and Basche come to us with their
talents? Such deafening applause
and thunderous appreciation as were
given on Thursday evening to those
two cultivated artists, come from long
pent up thirst for the best in art, and
in demonstration real, the artists were
made to feel us, as Miss Hall remark
ed at the close of the concerts, "a
most appreciative audience Where
one hears the best, all the time, such
a thing might happen that ones ap-
probation became dull. This argu-
ment is presented only for consola-
tions sake! Can any be found?
The number in the audience was
painfully small and no one knows bet
ter than he who attended, what the
person missed who stopped away.
Still the music lovers not a few
were there, and these are, no doubt,
themselves that they
had sense enough to go, for in every
way the playing of these two artists
was beyond criticism.
Personally the two ladies were
successful, thereby making it
no star performance, although Miss
Hall is to be considered the drawing
card. How sensible of her to bring
such a clever accompanies and must
cianly artist as Miss Basche with her,
gave such a perfect rendition as one
has a right to expect among artists
Of high rank. A chief charm in Miss
Hall was her simplicity and unaffect-
edness of manner, and lack of effort
to impress except with her native in
born art. It was not hers to resort
to gymnastic exhibitions or vain
of the bow. No wonder
the English world is proud of this
fair child of their nation. 1t is said
that they are going to present her with
the finest specimen of violin which
money will buy. She will know how
70 use it.
