attraction wh ch was offered 70 tae
people Of this city all TWO performances
yesterday
AT the matinee a fairly good house
was present and last night The play
house vas about comfortably packed.
1t should have been different. Every
seat in the Grand should have been
occupied at 9oth performances; not
only this but the playhouse should
have been packed like can of sar-
dimes. 1t IS doubtful Il Brunswick
win ever again nave such an attrac-
ton. not. at least until she becomes
city of hall hundred thousand
population.
Whether it was because the people
did not really realize what was in
store for them or whether it was be-
cause there are no more musical peo-
pie in the city, is question. OF
course both the audiences We're unus-
ually good ones. but at an attraction
of this kind there should net have
been d vacant place
The Matinee,
As was announced. the artists were
divided. some of them appearing in
the afternoon and others at night.
AT the matinee the soloists We're Nine.
Charlotte Maconda. Miss Germaine
Schnitzer. Miss Mary Lansing. Edwin
L4ockhart, Franklin Lawson and Dem
mis- Chabot
Nine Maconda, who sang the Aria
I.nuise. by Carpenter. is possessed Of
a most delightful soprano voice. Strong
and clear, filling the air above the
heavy strains Of the orchestra, she
completely won her audience Again
when she sang the Aria from Mozart's
Magic Flue" did she delight her hear
ers. Her voice was heard to better
advantage in this number and she held
the audience spellbound during its
rendition. II was a pity that Nine.
Maconda did not sting again last night
edwin Lockhart iii his rendition OF
Honor and Arms shared the honors
OF the evening with the other stars.
He has deep bass voice and his low
notes was exceptionally fine. He is
no doubt one Of the best male singers
who has ever appeared in Brunswick.
Miss Germaine Schnitzer, as plan
tst, ranks, no doubt. among the best
in the country. She has an easy,
graceful touch. plays with much in
terest and her number was one of the
most delightful on the program. Miss
Schnitzer is yet very young woman
and she promises to rank with the
best pianists of the age.
Miss Mary Lansing is possessed of
a most beautiful contralto voice and
in the Aria from Queen of Shelba"
she scored a decided hit. She was
accompanied by the piano and at the
conclusion of the song she was greet
ed with an outburst of applause which
showed that the audience had thor
oughly enjoyed her delightful voice.
The tenor singer of the troupe,
Franklin Lawson, is possessed of a
sweet voice He sang Una Furtiva La
grima, and came in for more than his
share of applause. His voice is clear
and strong and he was particularly
pleasing in his high notes.
The Night Performance.
Probably every real music lover in
Brunswick was present at the evening
performance and more appreciative
and enthusiastic audience has never
been seen at the Grand.
Nine. Langerdorff sang several Sc
lections with piano accompaniment
and her exquisite voice won raptur-
Gus applause. In response to a con-
tinued encore she sang Here's to-
You" which further won the hearts
of her audience.
The violin solo Devils Thrill" by
Tartini. with piano. played by Albert
Spalding, was one of the distinctive
features of the evening and the weird
passionate cadence thrilled the audi
ence with the intensity and fire of the
young genius, who. reminded one OF
Paganina with his mastery handling
of the instrument and the poignant
thrilling sweetness of his notes.
Nine. Jomelli, in the next number,
comprising several selections, was
supers, and carried her audience BY
