SMALL AUDIENCE
At FINAL CONCERT
But the Orchestra Was In
Splendid Form
HERMANN AN ARTIST
Miss Elizabeth Cunningham Well Re-
ceived at Afternoon Concert.
Miss Miller Again Brilliant.
Much Comment Heard
HERMANN AN ARTIST

The Cincinnati Symphony orchestra
closed its two days engagement last
night at the Jefferson theatre. The au
dience was not so large as it was at the
opening performance when Mrs. Aldricf
was a strong attraction; in fact it was a
very small audience. But the orchestra
was in splendid form and not in many
years has a symphonic entertainment
been so much enjoyed here by musicians
and discriminating music lovers.
There was delightful afternoon con-
cert but the vacant seats were more
numerous than those that were occupied
Those who had the good fortune of be-
ing present reveled in beautiful music
Miss Elizabeth Cunningham. soprano, and
julius Sturm, cellist, were the soloists
Miss Cunningham sang the "Polonaise'
from "Mignon' with aplomb and tenn
permanent and the cellist played most
charmingly the Vollzmann serenade.
The night programme included two
numbers by Miss Miller, the brilliant
contralto She was cordially received
Monday night and last night she made
even grander impression. She sang
Iszt's ''Die Loreei" and the Lila Reel
tative and Aria" from Debussy's IL En-
fant Prologue" For an encore she gave
the pages song from 'Huguenots."
Miss Miller has not only a beautiful
voice and perfect vocalzation, but SHE
has as we'll intellectual grasp and poetic
feeling. Her style is operate, but she
is entirely free from footlight manner
isms. She is fair to look upon and gra-
cous In manner and few vocal celebri-
ties have won their way into the hearts
of Birmingham so thoroughly as she.
The orchestra numbers last night were
Liszt's Les Preludes,' excerpts from
Griegs "Peer Gynt' suites Nos. l and q;
Morning" "Anitra's Dance Peer
Gynt's Return" "Solveig's Song" and
"In the Hall of the Mountain King" in
termezzo and waltz from Wolf-Ferrari's g
Jewels of the Madonna" two Hun
garian dances by Brahms and Weber's
overture to "Oberon." The applause was
so insistent when the Jewels of the Ma
donna" waltz was finished that 1t had
to be repeated Besides the numbers
played by the orchestra Emil Herman,
concertmeister, played as a violin solo
the "Priestlied" from "Die Meistersing-
