LITERARY NOTES.
A piece of Action entitle! "The Kill
ing of the Mam moth,'' publ'abed in Mc
Ciure'a Eome months ago, was taken by
many readers a" a record of fact as
much to the surprise as to the regret of
the editors. In the preeeut number,
Mr. Frederic A. Lucas of the National
museum, gives us "The Truth About the
Mammoth ;" and the truth, as Mr.
Lucas, out of bis ample scientific
knowledge, presents it, is so extremely
interesting that even those who were
most mislead by the inventions of the
story writer will feel that ample amends
are here made.
McCall's Magazine for March contains
three colored plates, the first one -a
handsome walking costume; also the
usual array of fine illustrations of pat
terns of artistic designs, with time! ar
ticles on "Early Spring Fashions,"
"New Materials for the Coming Season,"
"Becoming Colors for Blondes and Bru
nettes," "New 'Wrinkles' in Dress,"
"Fashionable Follies." "Skirt Notes,"
'Pretty Frocks for Young Folks'' and
"New DesignB."
Mr. Eanj.es' Recital.
On Saturday evening, January 20th,
sas a clever reviewer in the Hesperian,
Mr. Henry Purmort Eamea gave what
was billed as a "piano forte lecture re
cital" at the chapel under the auspices
of the Palladian literary bociety. Real
ly a delightful evening! And the lec
ture, or recital, might have been duh
bed with equal propriety a "piana forte-vocal-lecture
recital," for the audience
was entertained and instructed by lit
erary criticism and a review of the
references to music in the plays of
Shakspere; by a selection of choice
settings of Shakspere's songs, sung by
the lecturer himself, and by a finished
recital of some of the most beautiful
compositions for the piano forte which
have been inspired by the genius of
the great poet. Mr. Eames is so well
qualified for this last part of the en
tertainment that comment is perhaps
unnecessary, but it is safe to say that a
Lincoln audience has never heard him
to greater advantage. He played the
incidental muoic written by Edward
German for the revivalp of "Henry
VIII" and "Romeo and Juliet," besides
certain traditional tunes valuable
rather from an antiquarian than a
mueical point of view. But the crux of
his performance was the beautiful ren
dition of the rarely heard "Nocturne"
from MendelEsohn's "Midsummer
Night's "Dream" music, as well as the
"Wedding March" and fairy music
from the same work. In these, as well
as in the better known "Hark, nark,
the Lark," transcribed by Liezt from
the song of Schubert. Mr. Eames play
ed with the qualities which mark the
superlatively finished performer. In
tellectually, temperamentally, tech
nically, he left nothing to be desired.
Of course, the Liszt transcription of
the "Midsummer Night's Dream"
music was used as the performer told
ua the great transcriber bad added new
beauties to the score but the nocturne
was plajed in its virgin purity of out
line. Besides these works Mr. Eames
sang a number of IjricB selected from
the wonderful treasure house of Shaks
pearian verse and set to music by
composers ranging from Purcell to
Mrs. H. H. A. Beach. Among the best
of these were the famous "Who Is Syl
via V of Schubert and a modern set
ting of "Blow, Blow, Thou Winter
Wind," by Sargeant. Mr. Eames pos
sesses a clear, tenor voice, well posed
and of a moving and often pathetic
quality, of which the middle range is
especially beautiful in timbre. His
singing gave unmistakable pleasure to
the audience, who thus became ac
quainted with certain rarely heard
songs.
Mr. Eames emphas'zoJ in bis talk
upon ' Shakspere in Music" the fact
that the great poet was and i9 today a
source of inspiration to other artists.
Painting and music as well as litera
ture have been enriched by the wealth
in these plays. The lecturer spoke of
the operas and overtures which have
been inspired by these plays. Alto
gether, as a result cf patient individual
research into "Shakspeariana," Mr.
Eames has succeeded in creating a
novel and interesting musical lecture,
which should be of great value to both
musician and general public, and his
specific gift of interpretation made his
singing and playing a pleasure to those
who heard him.
The Palladians are to be congratu
lated upon their artistic venture in se
curing Mr. Eimes. It is to be hoped
that the fact that it was also a finan
cial success will encourage them to con
tinue in the same line of entertain
ment. The program is appended:
