MISS MAUD ALLAN AND THE CHERNIAVSKYS.

Last night Miss Maud Allan, appeared in many of her clever sketches of human emotions that had been most' admired during tho week, including! Schubert's "By tho Sea," the A minor valsc, tho Hungarian "Moment Musical," by Schubert, Mendelssohn's "Spring Song," and the "Itfuo Danube" valse. Quito new, and given with tho highest art was tho "Valso Triste," a -weird sceno from an opera by Sibelius. This is an outline- of tho story:—A dying wbman remembers tho days when sho revelled in dance, and once more comes tho longing for a Inst round. How a throng of lriends Troops in. reluctantly whirling about her in riotous gyrations, how sho dies in an imaginary attempt, with tho ghastly ending bathed in lurid tints of colour—Miss Allan conveyed with all her resources in a picture of wonderful realism that mado a strong appeal. Tho Cherniavskys were again greatly admired, and loaded with favours by tho enthusiastic audience. Together they played two movements from a Mendelssohn trio and Vidor's "Serenade;'' Mr Leo's soli wore the Faust Fantasje. by "Wieniawski. and tho hvper-stmtimental "Inimagination," by Zacharewitsch: Mr Jan. tho 6th Hungarian Rhapsodic, by Lis«. Chopin, and •Godartl "Mazurkas/ , and a Chopin prelude: and Mr ■ Misehcl, a cluster of pieces'of Popper's fancy and "Swan." with Mr Frank St. IVeper alertly at his post as painstaking accompanist. There is only onn morp opportunity of seeing and hearinic this interesting anil very able combination of artists— ax, the matineo arranged for this afteriicon.
