 Before a cultured and refined au- dience the Ernest Gamble Concert party made their first appearance in this city last evening, but f the people who had the pleasure of lis tening to these musical artists are consulted it will not be their last appearance in Douglas. Perhaps no entertainment has ever appeared in the OTpheum that has met with such marked approval by the best people of tue city, and the audience would sladIy have heard again a repetition of the entire program. Not sound was heard during the performance. and the audience gave the closest at teuti0n to each nuEiber This com pany of artists were brought to cur city under the auspices of Prof. Char ence E. Krinbill and the members of the Liebiing Piano club. and tho peo- pie are especially grateful to Prof. Krinbill for securing such talent in bringing it where the people are enabled to enjoy it. He spared no trouble or expense in his effort 8. and no doubt would feel repaid by the expressions of pleasure heard on every hand. Those who were not present have missed rare musical treat, such as has never been eqEaied in the city.
