TIE HAckLY RECITAL.
The Greatest Musical Feast of the
Season.


What was about the swellest, larg-
est and most representative audience
that ever gathered at a recital in ST..
Paul, greeted Nine. 3. Azalia Hack
ley, when this distinguished song bird
made her first bow at Dyer's Recital
Hall Wednesday night.
And there was no one present who
did not go away perfectly delighted
with the beautiful Drima donna and
her superb singing.
The local talent. too, came in for a
goodly share of the generaus applause
that followed each number on the
program, which was as; follows:
Baritone solo, "If I Were a Rose,"
Mr.. John H. Hickman, Jr.: reading,
"Gunga Dean," Miss L. o. Smith, Min
neapolis tenor solo, Judith" Mr..
Claude D. Jackson, who gave as an en-
core, 81 Dream of the Day 1 Met
You :" mandolin solo, selections, Mr..
Kenneth Hamilton. Each of these
performers was never in better form
and richly deserved the applause they
received.
OF course, the center of attraction
was Nine. Hacl<ley, who made her
first appearance in ST. Paul and was
unknown to large majority of her
audience. But she sang herself into
the hearts Of all present before she
had finished "Je Suis Titania" from
the opera of Mignon, and very few
there were who would not have gladly
sat and listened until morning. Nine.
Hackley sang twelve selections and
or
the last four. She sang: "A Summer
Night" by Goring Thomas: "Una
Voce POGO Pa. !" from The Barber of
Seville, by Rossini; "Cuckoo." by

lent speech. telling something of her
life and travels and CT the work she
is endeavoring to do for worthy stu

to which she is devoting her earnings
during this, her vacation.

furnished the rarest musical treat
that has ever been given to St. Paul.

charming personality as we'll as her
vccaliZations and she may
rest assured of a most cordial well

LIGHT at the handsome appearance Of
