RECITAL WELL ATTENDED.
Successful Appearance of Young
Washington Tenor.


Washington Tenor.
Mr. Edward A Hines, the Washington
tenor, gave a recital at the New National
Theater last evening which was we'll at
tended. Mr. Hines was assisted by he
Beethoven String Trio, composed of
Prof Harry Wheaton Howard, Mr.. Sol
Minister, and Mr.. Dore Wolfsteiner, and
the Misses Nellie de Grossart soprano.
and Frances de Grossart. contralto.
Mr.. Hines, who is well known in local
musical circles. has an excellent voice
somewhat above the average amateur
tenor. and he uses 1t to good advantage
though his selections for last evening
were somewhat ambitious. requiring
dramatic force which he lacks. His
tone qualities however. are exceptionally
good. and with little more volume. he
ought to make an impression as a pro-
fessionaI.
