AN ENJOYABLE CONCERT.
The Karger Company Pleases a Large
Audience at the Opera House.
The Karger Concert Company gave
a concert at the opera house last eve
ning that'was greatly enjoyed by the
large audience that was present. When
Max Karger made his debut before
crowded houses in New Yqpk) his per
formances were greeted with un
bounded ciiil-jsiasm, and he has !nce
been known as the y oung American
violin virtuoso. In his playing last
night, he displayed a wonderful mas
tery of an instrument that is regarded
by many as the grandest of all for the
production of music.
Mr. Karger was assisted in the con
cert by Miss Jeannette McClanahan,
Mr. S. P. Veron and Miss Marie Mil
dred Marsh -each one of whom conj
tributed much to the success of the
evening.
Miss McC'lanahan's s lections seem
ed to be particularly pleasing to the
audience, and her rendition of 'Dixie,'
in response to an encore, won for her
prolonged and repeated applause, to
which she was compelled to respond.
Mr. Veron possesses a deep rich
voice, the fine cultivation of which was
evident in the delightful manner in
which his difficult songs were render
ed. Miss Marsh proved herself an ar
tist in piano music, and in solo as
well as in accompaniments, w"on the
plaudits of her auditors. Lynchburg
