ANY one who doubts that Julesburg
audience does not appreciate good mus
ic could have had their illusions dis
PEELED Monday night by attending the
concert given under the auspices of
the Congregational ladies at the church.
Because of the fact that Prof. Oles
had entertained Julesburg audience
before, they We're expecting something
of a high class and they were not in
any measure disappointed The sup
port given the noted professor by
local talent did not suffer by compar-
ison, as each number served to empha-
size the fact that the Gate city has
talent of her own that can take a seat
alongside any professional talent be-
fore the public.
To make individual comment on the
numbers is task for musical critic
and the Grit-Advocate does not desire
to pose as an authority in this line,
but this we do know, that the even
lnRS entertainment was one tndI WOulC
have been acceptable to any audience
in the land.
The quartette selections were in {
| light vein, but the mnsic and melody
were such as to bring out the excellent
trained voices of the members ant
were highly entertaining.
The reading selections by Miss Ola
Yates, the first highly dramatic, and
the second character sketch, serv-
ed to emphasize her versatility and
breadth of conception which is remark
able. 1t is not every reader that can
comprehend and depict the true char
acter of princess of the blood and in
the same evening bring darky of the
chicken stealing type in realistic pose
and gesture before an audience, but
this is just what Miss Yates did for
her audience Monday night. She re-
sponded to enthusiastic encores with
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1909-10-29

humorous little sketches which con-
vulsed her hearers.
\ The vocal solo by Mrs. Lue Petersen
was in every respect like its name, "A
"dear. 1t gave ample scope for her
to exercise her wonderfully beautiful
voice and her charming manner. 1t
was enthusiastically received and she
responded to the encore with another
equally beautiful.
The cornet solo by-sNr. Arthur b.
Miller held the audience in way that
showed plainly that the instrument
was in the hands of its master. The
smooth even tones and beautiful mel
Ody would be a revelation to anyone
who might think that the cornet alone
is harsh instrument.
The accompaniments for the num-
bers of the local people We're all played
by Mrs. b. ID. Parker in manner that
emphasized the ability and musical con.
ception Of this splendid lady. 1t is il
no small measure due to Mrs. Parker
faithful and painstaking intereet il
matters musical that musicales of thi:
kind are possible, for as good an ac
companiest as she is hard to find.
The selections by the Professor wer,
of wide enough range that the smal
boy or the student of classical music
could each be entertained, amused, ant
instructed by the program as rendered
Monday evening and served to show
that he is at once an adept and an art
list. May he return to Julesburg Otter
is the ardent wish of all those who
love good music.
The credit for this musical treat is
largely due to Mrs. Redford, who hac
been placed in charge of the concert by
the Congregational ladies'. The city is
proud of the success. 1t is such effort
that has gained for our beautiful city
the enviable reputation of being place
of culture and refinement.
