r.. LOVERS A FEAST AT CRY
AUDITORIUM.

One OF the greatest musical treats
the people of Richmond have been
privileged to have given in their
midst In many months was that at
tho City auditorium last night in
honor of the Bankers association.
Every one OF the $500 seats was
filed, and the whole audience was
fully appreciative of the collection
Of stars brought here for this great
concert.
Seldom has there been greater
collection Of individual stars in any
Southern city. Madam Chuck. Scott.
and Zimbalist were all at their best.
and each was highly appreciated by
the audience.
The program was well selected and
Of the proper variety. Highly CLASH
cal selections appealed to the more
talented, and high-ciass popular Sc
lections In one or two instances were
very timely.
or the things that took best were
the Duo by Madam Gluck and Scott.
Madam Chuck, with characteristic
freshness and charm. appealed to the
audience scarcely less by her per-
sonality than with her voice.
Every number was encored and
great applause was given each MEM
Der Of the company. Scott made
direct appeal in several OF his num-
bers. His voice was full and there
was no difficulty in hearing the
singers at any part OF the auditorium
With the violin selections OF the
program, despite the comparative un-
familiarity of the audience with such
music. Zimbalist was able to hold his
crowd finely. In fact he was most
rcundly applauded and encored.
Popular Stars.
Madam Gluck and Scott are prob
ably better known and liked In Rich
mond than any other Metropolitan
singers. 1t seems from the greeting
given them last night that this popu-
larity extends to all the sections of
America represented here.
The program started Just at nine
O'Clock Madam Gluck opened with
the ARIA bel Raggio Lusinghier'
Semiramide. by Rossini. which she
rendered perfectly. She encored
with an italian lullaby. Both were
popular.
Zimbalist was second, and gave for
his first Faust Fantasia" by vienna
waski His encore was a very low
pfaniSSimo study
The Scott opener was the prologue
to Paggliacci, and the singer made a
decided hit, coming back with a
splendid encore.
There followed one of the best
numbers of the program. a duo by
Scotti and Madam Chuck. La CT
darem." which was SO warmly ap-
plauded that they repeated it. Madam
Giuck was given flowers at every APP
pearance. and at this time scored dis
tinctly by presenting her partner with
one.
Zimbalist. who was very good last
night and seemed in good mood. had
four short numbers. "Beethoven's
Minuet," Haydn's ''Scherzo.'' and
from Kreisler. 'sLaebes1ied" and
Caprice Chinois." His encore was
also enjoyed.
Scotti made his last appearance in
two short numbers. ''Scetate- Neapoh-
tan Song and 'I'ultima Cansone,"
by Tosti. The latter proved the one
OF his selections. that called forth tbs
greatest applause, and his encore to
this was also fine.
Madam GTuck closed in four Ante
Bellum songs In costume. Wearing
Southern maiden's hoop dress and
bonnet OF the old style. she appeared
with freshness that took exception
ally well. OF these, all were we'll
rendered and much applauded. They
