"Steinway and Irving halls were well filled last evening. [Reviews concert at Steinway Hall.]

“At Irving Hall the Mendelssohn Orchestral Union played a very pretty overture, ‘Corsican Bride,’ by E. Mollenhauer and the composer played one of his own violin ‘Caprices’ in his peculiarly brilliant style. He exhibited on this occasion an arm rest or machine for holding the violin and bow in a proper position. The most difficult thing for learners on this instrument is to acquire the proper position, and this rest is designed to obviate that. Miss Alida Wood and the other soloists made a favorable impression at this concert. Rossini, Verdi, Mattei, Hamm, Schreiber and Mercadante contributed largely to the programme.”
