A fairly large crowd braved last evening's zero temperature to attend! Queen's annval musical eytertainment | in Grant Hall. The afiair was, in! point of musical excellence, probably | the best city concert ever held under | the auspices of the musical conupittee Hartwell De Mille, of Toronto, was the vocal soloist. Me. De Mille poss« esses a voice of splendid baritone quality, whose extraordinary volume was utilized to excellent advantage in his first selection, "Blow, Blow, Thou 'Winter Wind." His voice is also char- acterized by unusual range, which was largely vesponsible for his admirable rendering of "Alone in the! Desert," which was perliaps his best number. "| His encore numbers were appropriately himorous and their pleasing effect was enhanced by the piquant adapta- tion of his manner to the spirit of the selection. Me. De Mille has seeured for himself a lofty place in the esti- mation of Kingston's music-lovers and on the occasion of his next visit will undoubtedly be greeted by a large audience, The male glee club reflected credit upon itself and its competent direc tress, Miss Louise Singleton. Its "Topical Bong," in which . the solo parts were well taken by W. A. Bee- croft, was one of the most popular features of the entire evening, while its rendering of Nevia's beautiful com- position, ~*"The Rosary," loft nothing to be desired. Each number was fol- lowed by an imperative encore, to which the club was compelled to re- spoud. The boys of the mandolin and gui- tar club acquitted shemselves well, their two-step numbers, to which the mandolin is especially suited, being very well rendered. "Amorita Waltz," arranged by Le Barge, the famous mandolinist, was played very efiective- ly, although one's musical ear persist- ed, notwithstanding all efforts to dis pense with its still small veice, in stating that the instruments might in slightly better tune. "Observatory March" and "Astaroth" were rendered with that vivacity which does so much in rendering popular the merry twang of the mandolin. Combined "surprise alti qplesyre was manifest throughout the audience, when the ladies' glee club rendered "March From Tennhauser," by Wag- tier. The sopranos and altos are ex- veptionally well balanced, and the ladies' contributions to the pro- gramme gave evidence of very careful training. Bybenstein's "Voices of the Melody," was stheir gecond number, and like the first, was seartily ea cored. Last evening was the first oc casion on which the young ladies par- ticipated in the annual entertainment and their debut was indeed a creditable one. The Students' orchestra added eon- gilerably to the evening's énjoyinent. Their selections were of the classical orchestral type, and every weaver (is. played a mastery of his intrument. Their Deseriptive "Fantasia' "Dying Poet," was probably their best nip ber, and was deserving of the yro- longed applause through which the audience signified its appreciatiom. The success of the entertainment may be attributed in no small measure | to the efforts of Miss Louise Single ton, divectress of the glee clubs, 'whe also acted as accomphnist, through- out the evening, and Mr. Telgmann, | director of the orchestra and mandolin club, A reception for the members of 'the 'club, was held at the home of Princi- pal and Mrs. Gordon, after the enter- tainment.
