deeper studies.
Mrs, Frank l., Bishops fine altc
voice was heard TO remarkable ad,
vantage in the solo themes OF AZ
the Cloister Gate" part she kindly
took over upon very short notice. and
most faithfully and eharmingly full,
filled
Mr., +, G. Eiehcnlaub, one OF the
young musical leaders OF Portland
and a profound student OF the violin
gave number OF superb themes in a
manner that made him host OF
warm admirers in Astoria. His mas.
terry OF the violin was acknowledged
instantly and his treatment OF the diff.
hcult and beautiful numbers, such as
Musin's Valse d'Concert, the Wagner
Wilhelmj paraphrase "preisilied,"
the Aire Russo, and others OF the
same ilk, left no sort OF doubt in the
popular mind as TO his splendid abili-
ties, recognition OF which was in.
Simultaneous and generous.
Mr. John Claire Monteith. the
famous baritone OF Portland, and
popularly known in Astoria. both as
artist and teacher, was among the
stars Of the evening, and contributed
several exquisite songs, each sue
ceeding number being responsible for
the zest with which everything he did
was received by the house that knew
admired and appreciated him,
Miss Beatrice Hidden, also from
the metropolis, and 4 pianist OF cul.
ture, served as accompanist in all the
leading work of the hour, and did il
10 the limit of graceful and eompen-
sating rendition. Miss Anna Shistad
was the accompanist for the Phil.
harmonic Society and carried her end
OF the splendid schedule through to
the entire satisfaction OF the whole
house, on and off the stage.
The quartette work OF the Misses
May Utzinger, Nellie Utzinger, Eliz-
abeth Reed, and Mrs. ]. 7. Allen, in
"The Garden OF Flowers" was unim-
peachable, and gave marked pleasure,
which was promptly emphasized at
the close Of the fine number; as was
their equally fine rendering OF the
concerted work in AT the Cloister
Gate"
From beginning to end, there was
every known sign OF careful prepara-
ton and devoted interest in the in
itial concert Of the society, and it is
Of record as one of the most delight
ful local affairs ever provided in this
city. An assurance that carries with
i deep sense Of regard for the un-
labors OF the able secre-
tary, Mr. G. Zigler, who was almost
Ubiquitous during the months OF
and to whose clever
,are Of details the wonderful success
of the event is very largely due.
There is but one wish aboard here
n relation to the Philharmonic So
,iety, and that il may become per-
nanent and famous; no less.
