SECOND RECITAL
GREAT SUCCESS
Local Talent is Heard
By Appreciative
Audience

The second Of three recitals by
Mrs. Bruce New. Mackall, soprano;
Mrs. Grace S. Bannerman. contralto.
and Miss Margaret l.. clarke, was
given in the beautiful drawing-room
of Mrs. J. A. McCandless' home at
Nuuanu last evening. From a con-
sensus of opinion. this. recital sur
passed the first, which was given In
the ballroom OF the Alexander Young
Hotel last week by these talented
artists. To have surpassed what was
considered the best program ever
presented TO the musicloving resi-
dents of Honolulu. speaks well for
local talent.
The mere fact that II was a Schu-
bert and Schumann evening. In
which songs and piano solos by these
great masters had been selected with
Infinite care and judgment. brought
out an immense number OF people.
The rooms were early filled by the
cream Of Honolulu society, who show
ed their appreciation OF every num-
Der by rounds of hearty and spon4
taneous applause.
Schubert Is the greatest song
writer that has ever lived. and has
never been considered a minor COM
poser even by the great musicians OF
the present day, rs morning con-
Temporary thinks. Schumann. II is
true. has never been the equal of
Schubert, but has always been look
ed upon as one of the three roman
tic writers OF his day. Schubert,
Schumann and Franz are considered
the three greatest romantic song
writer's that have ever lived.
Owing TO the lengthy program. no
encores were given. although the trio
were compelled several times To ac-
knowledge their thanks In answer to
the prolonged applause from their
large and dppreciative audience.
Mrs Mackall was heard at her
very best last evening. Her plants
'simo notes were truly superb. ooft,
IGweet-toned and delicate, she gave
n wonderful Interpretation of Schu-
berts "F'reuhlingslauDe.' Her rem
dltlon tf Schumann's "Freuenliebe
uni Loben" tWoman's Love and
Lifel was also one of the most no.
ticcable pieces which characterized
this splendid program.
Mrs. Bannerman was not heard to
such advantage AS on the opening
night. due, In part. 10 bad cold.
but her Interpretation of Schumann's
"Wohin" was exquisite In the ex-
IRENE. Everyone who has heard this
, talented artist knows what treat
III is to have such compositions trans
lated into song In such a beautiful
and pathetic manner.
Miss Clarke. as predicted, felt
thoroughly at home with the pro-
gram, and made the Sleinway grand
sing in a manner that only profess
sional players know how, to bring
out the full sweet tones of these
marvellous instruments. Miss Clarke's
rendition of Schumann's "Romanze
was, indeed, treat, and had the
program been shorter she would un.
doubleday have had to respond to an
encore.
II would be impossible to say
which were the most favored num-
bers of last nights recital--all were
so well known and their rendition
so perfect, that to discriminate would
be impossible. Mrs. Mackall's song
lcycle was much appreciated, and
with such an excellent accompanied
as Miss Clarke the last recital, to
be given next Thursday at the resi-
dence of Mrs. B, +, Dillingham;, will
be more than delightful.
