It would have been better, too, had the Tannhaeuser march come In the last place, sending the audience off aroused and inspirited. The Am Abend, beauti ful as it was. suffered from the uneasy expectancy that always prevails during a closing number an uneasiness shown Tuesday night by the stage-manager Is to be hoped that hetnay sometime give a recital here. Miss Hoover played a piano number, and Miss Davis gave de Deriot's tlrst concerto. Mr. Movius sang. As the work of all these is men tioned in the charity concert. It can not be discussed this week. It was. however, of very high quality. CiiKoln gteam e WopkS ROV DENNEY, Proprietor.

To discuss the merits of every number would be impossible. All that can be done Is to mention those numbers that seem of special note. Of the vocal solo ists. Mrs. Llpplncott' and Mr. Movius deserve particular praise. Both had ef fective dramatic delivery. Mrs. Llp plncott's voice at times a trifle un- cally unintelligent. The only numbers that found favor were Mr. "William's jokes. And they were not music. The Boston Transcript of December 9 says commenting on Mr. Sleveklng's appearance at the Symphony concert "Mr. Sleveklng made, we believe, his first bow to a large Boston audience dvetl. 1015 O Strpet Kxprese charges paid one way Telephone 45G even had at its best great richness and at this concert. His playing of the con- tnriiung rorce. sir. Movius showed himself a thorough artist. He com mands tones deep and well-sustained. His enunciation was good. It is a pity, however, that he should ever sing In English. The difference between his two numbers, in this one point of nat ural enunciation, was remarkable. He should' sing only In German. Of the duets, that of Miss Getner and Mr. Kettering was a surprise. Miss Getner's voice has power, richness and is well-rounded. It promises much. She has, too, a strong sense of musical and dramatic expression. Of Mr. Kettering I spoke last week. The combination was excellent, the two voices blending smoothly, each helping the other. The two Telyn Quartets seem to have similar tastes. Both sang serenades, and both sang something about "night." Detailed criticism Is impossible. The work of both seemed strong, both have good members. Mr. Tuttle. with his voice, should do solo work. The ladies sang the Schubert serenade sweetly. Miss Frank's rich contralto being par ticularly prominent. Miss Scofleld and Mrs. Plank both played compositions of Chopin. With out comparison of technique, it seems that Mrs, Plank entered better into the certo was superb. He evidently poss esses great physical strength, the ex ertion of which he. however, never pushes farther than the pianoforte can bear. His technique Is exceedingly brlllant. if not Invariably perfectly sure now and then he strikes wrong notes. But he plays like a master for all that. In tthe matter of style he Is perhaps just a thought old-fashioned. He plays with more artistic measure than one Is accustomed to nowadays, and does not by any means abuse the musical pepper-box." The Glei and Banjo clubs spirit, the Honeymoon march. In Mr. Manley's arrangement, being the most effective. The banjos go belter when backed by a strong body of choral tone. Mr. Matthews and Mr. Langworthy did creditably In the solos, though it was rather hard to catch Mr. Lang worthy's words, and this rather de tracted from his number.

It seemed to me tliat the Banjo club did not try sufficiently to overcome the defects of their instruments. The great weakness of banjo clubs is in the music they play. No very great composers have written banjo music. Possibly some scherzos, some bright passages written for stac cato notes on the piano or pizzicatl passages for violins might be worked over for them. As yet I have heard none. The only composers wno nave better that. Certainly he deserves rec ognition as one of the best singers of the city. Address, John Sebastian, G.P. A Chicag Albert P.
