THEATRE ROYAL.

ilf/s mullet's Conceit The complimentary concert tandared to Mrs Muller, at the Theatre Royal last evening, was well attended and passed oil very successfully. A large number of items were rendered, agicat portion of which werocntbu- . siastically re-demanded, and it was late before the programme was con. eluded. Mrs Mueller appeared throughout the evening in solos, duets, ] and quartettes, and each timesaug with her usual excellent stjle, which has made her such a favourite with Masterton audiences, Tho solo" Oh Yo Tears," was tho gem of i the evening, and deserved the hearty plaudits of the audience i with which it was received. Some of Mrs Muller's pupils made ' their first appearance in public, and created a very favorable impression. Miss McKenzie a strong soprano voice j which was heard to distinct ad vantage , in the song," When Swallows Homeward Fly." Iu response to an imperative encoro, the yout.g lady delighted the audience with the Scotch air " Comin' Thro' the Ryo." Miss Harvey, a charming young contralto, sang, " Caller Herriu," and also appeared with Mrs Muller, in the duet, "The Wind and the Harp," ou both occasions acquitting herself admirably, Miss Eenall, anothor promising pupil, by her singing in the duet only made the audience anxious to lieai'_ her in solo, but they were disappointed as Miss Eenall was too .unwell to sing again during the evening, Mr Nicholls, who made bis first bow to a Masterton audience, possesses a very pleasing tenor voice, and for bis two songs "In Happy. Moments," and " Queen of the Earth," he received ' quite an ovation. Measra Black, Gant, ' and Ralph as old favourites, contributed selected tongs to the profiramtne, , and each received encores; to which . they generously responded. Mr Candy's violin solo entitled, "Hope , Told a Flattering Tale," was undoubtedly a masterpiece, and was listened to with rapt attention. Two full choruses by some twenty voices, i under the direction of Mr A. von . Keisenborg, wero well rendered, and i the overture by tho Masterton j Orchestra was played remarkably '. well, The programrao concluded, by i the singing of that beautiful musical , gem from " Maritana"— " Angelus" . with the full chorus ami orohestra, and was a fitting finalo to a most j successful entertainment. Mrslbbeti son played tho accompaniments ] throughout with exqtiisito tasto,hor ' assistance being invaluablo to the i success of the concert.
