A MUSICAL EVENING

«C“ The William lleugliau Concert Party entertained an appro; ialive audience at the; princess Theatre last evening. Mr i i eughau is a master ol song. Possessing a i all bass voice lie has a facile ojinmand of his number:-, and sings will, confidence and evident delight. He l.as :.u extensive .repertoire. as varied as it is lengthy. The songs of S. otlaucl are his spec ial Gent, and ir these numbers lie never iails to bring out what is be-1 in the . mgs. The sin gar had a story to tel! with each sang, so that tho auditors appreciated the better the motive of the number. Many old songs were sung, end the; singer was geueions in his response G> recalls. Candidly, we liked him best in such songs as “The Trumpeter", U K . “Vulcan's Seng”. “ Prinking”. “Widclirombe Fa::'” and ‘llu- T lor.il nance.” Mr Heiig’iiau sings with a wealth of expri's-siun, and even action, engrossing al Lontiun. and with a ideasing commanding presence in Highland costume, unite idled Hie stage. Mr 11. Lenzer is a master violinist. He gave some brilliant solos la-t evening! and the* audi-cico could have enjoyed mare of him. In Miss Glades Saver at the piano, the party l.a.s an artist cf outstanding merit. Strange io sav only two piaimforto solos were open. “Country Gardens” being a special delight. In her artistic accompaniments the pianist was a sheer deli'dit, being capable and sympathetic to |7 degree. Altogether the concert programme was most acceptable, and quite a rare offering here "here good music is not heard too often. The singi„c of “A id cl Lang Syne” by the audience. and the National Anthem, brought an unusual musical evening to a close.
