BRILLIANT CONCERT
AT THE LYCEUM
GIVEN BY DR. PARRY AND
PARTY ACCOMPANYING HIM.
Tho First Part of 'the Programme
Was of a Varied Nature and Gavo
tho Members of tho Party an Op
portunity to Display tho Excep
tional Quality of Their Voices.
Tho Second Part Consisted of Two
Acts of Dr. Parry's Opera "Silvia."
Owing to the extremely disagreeable
night the audience nt the Dr. Parry
concert nt the Lyceum last night was
far too rmult to property show Siran
ton's appreciation for such a truly
great musical event. But If the pit
was not packed, tho enthusiasm of tho
Intelligent and thoroughly musical
listeners ntoned for ;hi lack of num
bers. The stage was ttstefully arranged,
the fire In tho low grato giving a rich
color background. Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam Connell, Miss Jessie Dimmock,
William Dlnunock, Judge II. M. Edw
ward nnd family. Mrs. R. O. Brooks,
Mr. and Mrs. Willard MatthewB. Mrs.
T. R. Brooks. George 1. Rroks and
others occupied boxes.
At the piano, tho stately leonlno
head of Dr. Parry rose as he directed
tho music at the same time accom
panying the singers "with beauty of
touch and rf sympathy cf interpreta
tion so rarely known.
The first part of the programme wnt
varied in character, each member of
the company having a solo, while a
trio and quartette made up a pleading
entertainment. The opening1 number,
n trio, "Sleep Well Sweet Angel," sung
by Mrs. Hughes, Messrs. Humphreys
and James gave a revelation of tho
ability of the group of slngots who
were to dfcllgfbt the audience. Ths
selection was Dr. Parry's composition.
MR. J AMPS' SONGS.
Mr. Meurig Janus s.ins "I ong Ago
Alcala" with such breadths and flexi
bility of tona that he received an in
sistent encore and responded with
"One Fond Kips."
Madame Athworth Hughes had a re
markably pure nnd well trained so
prano voice. The Jlosart recltatlva
and aria which sht sine was a fin
iibed piece of work which aroused the
mo?t enthusiastic applause. As an en
core she sang th. "vor cxiyi'.slte "l.'ll
larney." Miss Hannah Jones, the contrulto of
the qunrtette. perhaps, itcelved tho
greatest sbaie of the hrnors. Her
register Is of unusual scope nnd her
middle tones nrc particularly charm
ing. In Ruth's recitative nnd aria,
"Entreat Me N I to Leave Thee." by
Gounod. She fairly enraptured her
audience. There Is a singularly bell
like quality 1 f tone and a smoothness
In the upper register that are most
effective. As an encore she rendered
with great feeling "Datby nnd Joan."
Mr. Humphreys beautiful solo, "How
Vain Ih Man," was one of tlicytmost
enjoyable selections As an encore
he sang "Nintra Given," with pathos
nnd feeling. His voice Is cne of rale
power and sweetness.
No number was more enjoyed than
the sacred quartette. "Saviour When
in Dust to Thee," a composition by Dr.
Parry. In this the tender, close har
mony, with at times the soprano'-b-llgato
rising In ravishing sweetness,
left a lingering, hauntlnsr memory In
every listeners' heart. As an encore
"Tl Tyddost." by Dr. Parry, was sung.
DR. PARRY'S OPKRA.
The opera of "Silvia," the second and
third acts of which were given last
night Is in the well known composition
written by Dr. Parry. The libretto is
by his son Mendelssohn Parry. It Is
based on the fairy legend of Stone
henge when It Is said at midnight a
fairy band flits forth to dance beneath
the Druid oaks. If a fairy's eyes meet
those of a mortal straightway she be
comes a mortal, If he touches her she
Is bound to him forevermore, but If
he kiss her she returns to the fairy
state. But 'the gaze of the earth folk
upon the spirits brings a curse over
tho vlllafee.
The time of the opera Is at the close
of the Roman rule In Britain. Arthur,
the hero. In the person of Mr. Hum
phreys, discovers the fairies at their
midnight revels and by his gaze brings
Silvia (MIs3 Hughes), one of their
number, to his side. She becomes a
mortal and departs with her lover.
Thurston, a Druid, Is dragged before
the Roman General Severus, who is at
tracted by her beauty and ns she he
slsts his advances when left alone with
him stabs him In the heart.
Osmond, the brother of Archer, comes
in and to save Sylvia accuses himself
of the crime. Severus, before dying,
tells that It wns Sylvia and she Is con
demned to death nt the stake. Tho
last scene Is In prison just previous to
the proposed execution of Sylvia. Ar
thur kisses her In an agonized fare
well and the fairy charm Is wrought
as she disappears to become again a
member of the forsaken band, thus ful
filling the prophecy of Stonehengc.
Tho quartette sang In costume the

last two acts. Tho muslo Is lovely In
deed and filled with an undcflnable
charm, which deftly carries out the
legendary character. Thcro are sev

parts of tho opera are especially effec

the opera with tho appropriate chorus.
