) Last Concert oF SUCCESSFUL SEA- 
son Hetp IN Town HALL 
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. 
The last of the season’s concerts of 
the Arbella club was held in Man- 
chester Town hall Saturday after- 
noon before an audience that nearly 
filled the hall. The concert which 
marked the close of a most pleasing 
series of entertainments was a great 
success. A great deal of regret was 
expressed on all sides that the end of 
the series had been reached and the 
hope is entertained by all, who have 
been privileged to attend the concerts, 
that they can be carried out another 
season. A vote of appreciation was 
given Mrs. William Hooper of West 
Manchester through whose generosity 
the concerts were possible. 
In prelude to the concert William 
Hall thanked the audience for the ap- 
preciation which had been shown the 
attists taking part in the various con- 
certs and said that the attention 
shown had been most welcome and 
cheering to the performers. He 
sketched the ground that had been 
covered by the six concerts during 
which a great variety of music had 
been offered. Saturday’s music was 
a combination of vocal music by fe- 
male voices and the piano and of the 
male voice and the piano. 
The opening number was played 
by Mr. Hall and his execution of 
Beethoven’s, “Moonlight Sonata,” 
was wonderfully perfect. Before 
playing the. well-known Sonata he 
told the oft-repeated story of how it 
came to be composed and said that 
although there was_ probably little 
foundation in fact for the story it 
served to throw light on the meaning 
of the parts of the composition. 
Misses Dorothy Cook and Els- 
beth Jones sang two delightful duets. 
Miss Jones had kindly consented to 
fill a vacancy in the program and 
sang without preparation for the 
selections. Her performance was 
entirely creditable to herself and the 
other artists on the program, and, but 
for the apology for her lack of pre- 
paration, no one would have known 
she was not schooled in the selections. 
The duets were operatic selections,— 
“Sul Aria,’ Mozart and “Sous le 
dome epais,” Li Delibes. 
Wallace E. Cox, who at a previous 
concert delighted his hearers with 
charming baritone solos, was @ favor- 
ite with the audience. He sang sev- 
eral Negro folk songs, — “Banjo 
Song,” “Mammie Song” and a “Ne- 
gro Sermon.” 
Misses Cook and Jones sang a duet 
from “Madame Butterfly” which was

enthusiastically received. Mr. Cox, 
who had in the meantime “discover- 
ed” some Irish melodies, sang, “Be- 
lieve Me if All Those Endearing 
Young Charms.” Misses Jones and 
Cook sang some pretty Tuscany folk 
songs and Mr. Cox sang the prologue 
to “Pagliacci,” Leoncavallo. In tne 
latter number in which he appeared 
in the costume of the character of the 
play he was particularly effective. 
Mr. Hall closed the program with 
a piano selection, which was thorough- 
ly enjoyed. 
Mrs. Hooper thanked the audience 
for their support of the concerts and 
their appreciation and attention on 
various occasions. ‘The audience res- 
ponded with a rising vote of thanks

tal in arranging the series.
