The reception tendered Miss Emma Lucy Gates at the theatre last Wednesday evening was a pronounced financial success, the house being filled to overflowing with her friends and admirers. Miss Gates received an ovation. She possesses a good voice and a winning personality. per-sonality. It has been a puzzle to us why the long suffering and patient public of this city and state should have to furnish funds to keep and sustain pupils and students abroad while they are acquiring a training and an education. During this time their relatives and friends industriously work to have the public contribute to the support of these students by having them during their vacations favor us with a concert con-cert at so much per. But if these pupils achieve fame and success abroad the people at home arc not overly burdened with their presence. We hope some day we will be freed from the student concert and have the pleasure of hearing them when they are full fledged artists. Orpheum. There are three musical numbers of merit at the Orpheum this week, besides a playlet, a clever comedy team and a dancing and tumbling act out of the ordinary. The result' is an evening's entertainment enter-tainment that it would be difficult to improve upon. Fred Singer the violinist, makes a distinct departure from the usual way of ex-' ex-' hibiting the talents of a finished violin performer, in that he pictures the dream of a violin maker, in which the aged artist is permitted to sec and hear the masters of the violin of many seasons of conquest after his day and age. Not only was the idea acceptable, but Mr. Singers' impersonations and fine playing were thoroughly enjoyable. The Fredericka Raymond trio open the bill with an operatic act, Miss Raymond being assisted by Paul Fisher, tenor, and Enrico Ormonte, baritone. Three excellent singers who have been warmly welcomed at each performance. Miss Helen Bertram, who has lately deserted the operatic stage for vaudeville, also furnished a delightful bit of . grand opera, and a couple of old love songs which were equally as welcome. Miss Bertram has an excellent voice and her act is one of the most enjoyable of the entire performance. The playlet is "The Under Dog," a story of a deal in stocks, a misplaced friendship, and the contest for a woman's favor, presented by Walter Montague, George Clancy and Florence Bell. A commonplace story, but one always al-ways interesting, and as presented by Mr. Montague and company, a delightful little sketch with an unexpected ending. In the comedy line, Oscar Lewis and Sam Green present a laughable sketch, while the LaVine-Cimaron trio have a novel acrobatic-dancing sketch that is a continuous mirth provoker. |
