Popular Concert: 6th

“A concert was given at this hall yesterday afternoon, at which the following artists assisted [see above]. Miss Luckhardt was the principal feature, and her playing of Liszt’s piano transcription of the ‘Faust’ waltz from the scene of the Kermesse, a polka de concert by Wallace (an encore), and with Mr. De Vey the duet for piano and violin by DeBenoit and Woelff on themes from ‘Lucia,’ was characterized by the finish, elegance of style and brilliancy that show the thorough artist. Mr. Fritsch, one of the best of our local tenors, rendered ‘Non e ver’ with such effect that a unanimous encore followed. He then sang Blue Beard’s song, ‘Ma premiere femme est morte’ with inimitable fire and abandon. Miss Bulkley’s beautiful voice gave effect to one of Virginia Gabriel’s ballads. Mr. DeVay’s violin playing was very satisfactory, and evinced talent of no common order.”
