With better weather, attendance

steadily increasing, and the people

| realize their merit
| Berim Song Recital
| Before an audience of no less than
| two hundred, including Ocala's most
| gifted musicians, Signor and Nine
Berini gave splendid concert at
| the Temple last night, their appear
ance being the second evening at
| traction on the Chautauqua pro-
gram. Signor and Nine. Berini have
never before sung in this city but
| they have been heard numbers of
| times in Gainesville, their home by
quite a few Ocalans who have her
aided their ability to sing. Nine
Louise Tozier Berini possesses a
| brilliant soprano voice of great
range, sweetness and power and has
| been heard in grand opera, as has
Signor Stassio Berini, who has a dra-
matte tenor voice with marvellous
range and good placement.
Their program was classic one,
very heavy and considered by many
the bets which has been given in
Ocala this season. Such beautiful
compositions as Gounod's Jewel
| Song from Faust" the aria from
Samson and Delilah," by Saint
iSaens, Wekerlin's Sunrise and
1--WE Something Sweet to Tell You, -
by flaming, were sung by Madame
| Berini with ease and power, while
Signor Berini was heard to particu-
lar advantage in the Yeoman's We'd
ding Song, by Poniatwski. The gen
eral feeling was that the signor's
rendition of The Rosary by Nevin,
was not good, but he Enthusiastically
rose to very fine heights in Gounod' s
| ''Berceuse.
| Probably the best number of the
evening was the famous duet from
Aida" by Verdi, which was receiv-
ed with enthusiasm. In this the
brilliancy of both voices was heard
to good advantage, and in the most
difficult parts perfect ease was
shown. Each number was followed
by an encore and one of the most
charming was Coming Through the
Rye" which pleased the audience
immensely.
Nine. Berini played all of the &C
compartments of her husband and
some of her own, thereby proving
that she is proficient at the piano as
we'll as possessing remarkable
voice
Mrs. George S. Waldo of Gaines
Vile, pleasantly remembered in this
city as Miss Myrtle Fennell. was
Nine. Berini's efficient accompanist
for the evening. By their sympa-
thetic playing, Mrs. Berini and Mrs.
Waldo added considerable to the sue
cess of the evening. The piano used
for the occasion was a new KimbaI.
furnished by Mr. Herbert Lattner.
The Berini's held the closest at
tention of their audience and their
true worth as singers of high rank
commands their appearance at num-
bers of other Chautauquas.
