Mr. and Mrs. Henry Holden Hubs gave an hour of music" yeMTday afternoon. at the Burrltt Studios, 35 West Thirty-second street, Manhattan, and among the listlnguished musicians in attendance were Arnold Volpo, Yolauda Mero, Arthur1 Whiting, Mary Knight Wood, the song writer; llerwegh von Knde. Signor rto-mundo Sapio aud Herman Iron.

Brooklyn was well represented by prominent members of society. The first movement of the Bach "Concerto for Two Pianos" wa finely played by Miss Eleanor Payez and Miss Whitney. Mrs. Huss, who is affec- attiy remembered In Brooklyn as Hlldegarde Hoffmann, sang by request. Before bumise," composed by her huaJ baud.

It was beautifully delivered, as also were Faure's "Apres un Heve" ind Holmes' festive and delightful "La Bells Ju Roi." Mrs. Burmeiiiter played well Debused "Arabc'soue in and Mr. Huss' "Etude Melodiuue." Edwin SlodoU save the Liszt "Rhapsodie No. 6" with, sweep and sentiment and Miss Marioa Coursen played the poetic "Romanza," by Mr. Huss, temperamentally, with ori'hen- tral accompaniment, onaa second piano.

My woras oy ivairma i rasn, music by Mr. Huss. besides "Home They urought Her Warrior Dead, also by Mr, Huss, were sung by Miss Balietta Huss, clto, sister of Mr. Huss: both proved virile pieces of writing. Chopin's "Bal lade In minor" was well played by Miss Florence Beckwlth and Brahms' "Rhapsodie In flat" was finely given by MIsS, I'aycz.

Mr. Huss played, at the close, "Etude Roruautique (dedicated to 1'ado- rewskl), "Intermezzo in In Brahms' (rterticatid to Joseffy), and "Polo naise Brillunte," all three written by Mr. Huss aud giving deep satisfaction. The twentieth season of the Kneisel Quartet concerts closed last evening at the Hotel Astor with a recital of established favorite numberB on the programme Beethoven's "Quartet in Major." bit- "Grand sjeptuor" and Brahms' "Quintet In Major." The Knelsels In the latter number were assisted by Josef Kavarik, viola; Xavier Itciter, French horn; Leon Leroy.t clarinet; I'go Savolini, bassoon, and Ludwlg Manoly, double bass, and the musical channel by the quintet was turned Into a broad stream, almost like an orchestral flow. Wet the ensemble was not bo larg9 as to conceal the individualities of ths players in the quintet, and hence the re-stilt was Intimate and enjoyable.

The horn gave Bonoiity to Beethoven's great work, the "Septuor," an early work which went fur to establish the master's reputation, having melody pronounced throughout. Very rarely Is this number heard. The fine climax in the master's andaute of the "Quartet," with a long drawn out pianissimo, was a brief lyria poem in itself, while there were stateli-ness and romantic feeling In the other movements. The Brahms number, with its charming melody for vloln, coming In over and over again in the first movement, made Brahms seem brother to Beethoven In the way of simple melody. All of Its romantic feeling was brought out as well as Its color and many-voiced harmonies.

The third concert season of the society for the promotion of Italian music closed last night at the Waldorf by a conceit in which Slguor Ruudt-gger and Mme. Marguerite Kefer were pianist and soprano, respectively. The signor played the Beethoven "Sonata quasi Fantasia," also Liszt's "Love's Dream" and "Erolca," the Chopin "Ballade In Minor," "Valse In Flat," and "Etude, i.i Minor." His own "Elegie" ha played with especial sympathy. "A Can-soiie del Fusio." by I'ella. and "Polonaise in by Van Waterhout, closed the interesting programme.

The soprsno, who Is the wife of Paul Kefer, the well-known 'cellist, sang admirably an aria by Sacohinl; also "Futur Intorno all' idol mlo," by Cestl; "Les Roses d' Ispahan," by Faure; "Reverie," by Leo; "1 Ask But This," by MacDowell, and two Schubert songs, "Du Bist die Rub." and "Erlkoenig."

Before a large audience of people very well known the Brooklyn musical mado lis bow last night, this concert being Its nineteenth season. For an amateur concert the young women of this fashionable chorus presented a programme that was little short ot remarkable. The. features of the. night were piano solos by Mrs.

Guliaii Ross and singing by Oscar Seagle of Paris, an American of the Southwest, who for some years has bocn Jean De Resike's right-hand man. Mr. Seagle was a surprise, another "outside" soloist being on the programme. Barron Bert-hold, the dramatic tenor, was to have sung. Mr.

Berthold was prevented from coming, and only yeBterday morning Mr. 8eagle was secured. Mrs. Ross made a very marked success. As Brooklyn's possibly most rapre- seniauve amateur pianist ne is -miliar figure, but she has rarely played in the evening before such a large audience.

In a gown ot white satin with an embroidered chiffon tunic, she gave Wagner-Liszt's "Isolde's Liebestod" and a "Danse Caprice," by Carl Flque, the latter especially written for her. Both numbers were played with wonderful skill. Mr. Seagls aroused great enthusiasm. He sang the prologue from "Pagllaccl," Grieg's "Eros," Debussy's "Romance," an Old French Song of the Sixteenth Century de and Dvorak's "Gypsy Song." The evening had two other Soloists, both prominent club members.

These were Mrs. George Sherman Dalzell and Mrs. Edith Mages- Both are accomplished amateurs and greatly pleased their audience. In white pompadour satin and black fur, Mrs. Dalzell gave Vldal's "Prlntemps an old French ballad, "Charmante Marguerite," and Vldal's "Arlette." Mrs.

Magee, in a white frock, was heard In an Incidental solo In one of the club's choruses (Nevln's "When the Land Was White with wblcb she presented delightfully. The chorus, in three rows, In light evening gowns, nearly all of white, presented a very attractive appearance. Harry Rowa Shelley, always the leader of this organization, conducted as usual. Last night's concert was not far from being the best In the club's long history. The numbers offered (besides the Nevin song In which Mrs.

Magee gave her solo, epoken of above), Included Garrett's "Oh, My Love's Like a Red, Red Rose," Nevln's "The Nightingale's Song," Ludwlg Thuille's "Song of the Roses," Bishop's "By the Simplicity of Venus Doves," Mr. Shelley's arrangement ot juvery jtnower, rrom Maaame Dvorak's "Songs My Mother Taught M7 Mendelssohn's "Spring Song," sung to very effective words, of Frederick Truesdell, under the name, of "Love; In an4- Night, ood Night, Beloved5."

Last of the Kneisels Season at the Astor. for the The most dramatic and colorful. Bce.iic acts in four operas were offered at the Metropolitan Opera House, last night, as a popular offering, and it was indeed popular, for the big auditorium was packed to the doors. Pretty nearly all of brilliant stars in the operatic flrmanun shone with steady luster, and eveu tUouglf Caruso and Fremstad were not in iho casts, It was a rare chauce for the tnus'j-loving public to see and hear great artists; a sort of a gift by Mr. Gattl-Casazza, the general manager, and by tin1 public-spirited board of directors.

Jom, Rothler, Gilly, Begue, Mme. Rappnld and Mile. Maubnurg appeared in Scene 11, Act 1, of "Faust," aud Mr. Rothier Mepbistopheles was lnaguillueui. Mr Ilageman conducted well.

In the soug-test act of "Tanuhaeuser," Mme. Gadski sang gloriously and acted with charm if Elizabeth. Sleznk, too, sang well and was dramatic as Tannhaeuser, as wns Witherspoon as the Laudgrave, while the knights covered themselves with glory and the great chorus brought out thu.i-ders of applause. Mr. Hertz, by Mine Gadski's fine delivery, was compelled to keep down the dynamics, to the joy nf the hearers.

Mme. Emmy Destlnn gave her Version of the Roman actress In Tosca," In the act where she kills Scarpla. Her great aria was roundly applauded. Mr. Amato, as the sleek Scar pla.

moderated hla customary robustness oi tone and acted and sung the roll wltn artistic excellence. Mr. Martin, too, was without his sometimes hard tones and was capital as C'avaradossl, acting ant singing with freedom and abandon. Mr. Bada was perfect at Spulntla.

as Begue, as Sciarrone. Mr. Sturanl cou-ducted. In "Trovatore," the prison and the dungeon scenes were presented, with Mr. Martin again In requisition, this time as the troubadour, while Mme.

Rappuld appeared as Leonora, Louise Homer as the gypsy, Mr. Gilly as the Count, and Mr. Audisio as Ruiz. Mr. Sturanl con ducted.

The Aborn English Grand Opera Com pany presented Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel" before as appreciative nu audience as a company of artists could wish, at the opera house. Academy of Music, yesterday afternoon. Every seat was taken and If there had been more they would have been taken, too, for children were out in force, accompanied by their elders, who took as much enjoy ment as did the young people In the musical telling of the old German folk tale. Between 500 and 600 little ones from Brooklyn Roman Catholic Orphau Asy lums, with teachers, Doiis Goodwin, a young woman with a light pleasing and pretty voice, and wltn vivacity, essayed the role of Gretel, and her companion, Hansel, was Marietta Bagby, whose voice, even in register and full in tone, showing much cultivation, carried the singing role with fine dictloa. JoBeph Royer, was capital as the royBter- ing Peter, and the Gertrude was well conscientiously taken by Elaine de' Sei-lem, whose voice has been appreciated before in this column.

Philip Branson, as the Witch, had, as a gift of nature, so Jolly a physiognomy that It waB hard to believe him a cruel ogress, but ho proved that he was, and overpowering acclaim from all over the auditorium, when he was pushed Into the oven to be burned alive, showed that he was effective at leant In his acting. Miss Aurora Mi? don, as the Sandman, and Miss Edltn Lorraine as the Dewman, were very ac ceptable. A feature that was highly popular was the descent of the wingd angels from heaven, iu the children's dream, the stairs being so arranged they descended, the steps were lighted up, in turn. The stage management wa.i woil looked after, considering that It was the first performance, and Mr. Sodoro conducted with fine discretion and musical ability.

The next "Hansel and Gretel" will be tomorrow afternoon. This afternoon, "Madam Butterfly," with Miss Dora de Phillippe in the title role, which is to be taken in the opera this evening by Miss Ivy Scott, who sang as substitute for Miss de Phillippe las', night. "Madam Butterfly" had bo great a Buccess on Monday night and last night that the crowding of the house for every performance Is looked tor. Grieg's silvery, shimmering major Sonata," with suggestions ot forest depths, glades, hill tops and suminei weather, bound together by the of a brook and the plashing of a lake on the beach, was played by Arthur Rowa Pollock, piano, and Miss Lotta Davidson, violin, yesterday afternoon, when Mr. Pollock gave his closing Brooklyn Insti-tue lecture recital, In lecture hall, Academy of Music, with Grieg for the subject He quoted MacDowell In saying that art has no Behool, in a broad sense, artist absorbing from surroundings influences that make him an artist.

He told of Grieg's early life, his experiences at Leipzig, whither he was sent to study at the suggestion of Ole Bull, and ventured also to speak of him as the "founder of a Norwegian school of music." In giving incidents of Grieg career, Mr. Pollock mentioned that he had rather a long engagement before be married the young woman who became his wife. This was due to the opposition of her mother, who said: "Edward Grieg! He is nobody! He has nothing! And he writes music thai no one comes to hear!" "ThAt was a nice outlook for a eon-ln- law," commented Mr. Pollock. The ques- tlon had been raised by some persons I whether Grieg Introduced Ibsen, or Ibsen introduced Grieg, the lecturer saying that, personally, he knew of the music to "Peer Gyut" long before he did of the1 drama.

Grieg found in Norway a land i still vitalized with old Btories and traditions, and these he put Into his music. "I give somo analysis of this music because there may be some students here," said Mr. Pollock, "but the only satisfactory way In which to look at his music Is from the Imaginative standpoint. Remember what Poter Pan paid and keep your fairies alive. They will help you to understand Grieg." A Burprlso awaltnd the audience, to whom had been promised only the major sonata, when the beautiful and characteristic second movement from the "Sonata," Opus 45, was played.

It was Inserted before the major us fi'rthrr Illustration of the pnntli-al nature of Grieg's composition.
