18Herbert's Band Concert.
19VICTOR HERBERT and his band gave a concert at the Broadway Theatre Sunday evening. The program was made up all the way through of light numbers, quite in contradistinction to the programs of the Banda Rossa, which recently played at the Metropolitan Opera House. Concerts of the Herbert order are intended to cater to the most ordinary taste and of course should hardly be gauged by any high musical standard. The encores are generally trashy and extremely noisy. The vocalist, Miss Marie Donavin, pleased her audience, and so did Mr. Herbert with his violincello; this, however, should not be understood to mean that there was anything artistic in their work. Miss Donavin has a nice voice and is improving constantly, but the same cannot be said of the leader-cellist, whose playing is puerile, the constant use of the baton certainly destroying the effectiveness of the bowing.
21The selections—Nocturne, Chopin, and Schubert's Serenade—call for no special virtuosity, particularly when played with bad intonation and complete absence of virility. The 'cello in itself is sweet enough; when played with continual vibrato and affected sentimentality its effect is unhealthy.
23Some of the interior towns may be satisfied with a performance such as Herbert and his band gave, but after hearing the Banda Rossa and Innes and the great Sousa, New York demands something of a different character.
25First Powers-Mannes Musicale, December 15.—The artists to be heard at the first Powers-Mannes musicale, which occurs in Carnegie Lyceum on December 15 next, are Miss Lillian Blauvelt (soprano), Miss Helen Augustin (pianist), and David Mannes (violinist).

181luncheons and dinners at the Holland House, Waldorf and Astoria. Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Chase, of Boston, gave a handsome dinner in her honor on Monday evening; Mr. and Mrs. Walter Holden, of Boston, entertained her at luncheon with a party of friends, and Colonel Ray, of Chicago, also gave a dinner at which she was the guest of honor.
183On Friday evening Mrs. Markee sung at a musical at the house of Mrs. W. A. Lombard, eliciting much enthusiasm from the large number of guests present, and receiving, as she always does, many compliments for her beautiful voice and fine singing.
185Lotta Mills with Krehbiel.—The talented pianist Lotta Mills, who was recently engaged to illustrate some of the Krehbiel lectures, proved herself an artist of exceptional ability, as the appended notices will prove:
187The lecture was illustrated by that delightful artist Mrs. Krehbiel and Miss Lotta Mills, a pianist of much charm and attractiveness, who has met with splendid success during the past three seasons. The opportunities afforded both singer and pianist were quaint and unusual.—Detroit Free Press.
189Miss Lotta Mills is a true artist, a pianist of high rank, and in her rendition of the difficult orchestral music upon the piano gave entire satisfaction to the critical audience. The enjoyment of the afternoon had its climax in Mr. Krehbiel's reading of the last scene from "Die Göttterdammerung," while Miss Mills played the music of that scene without the slightest appearance of effort. The words of the drama fell naturally into the cadence of the music, accent for accent, making a rhythmical whole of most exquisite beauty.—St. Paul Press.
191Miss Mills is a brilliant pianist.—Grand Rapids Herald.
193Miss Mills proved a very sympathetic accompanist, and while there was no opportunity for her to show her skill, the fact that she is with Mr. Krehbiel must mark her as a musician of ability and intelligence.—Minneapolis Times.
195A Successful California Teacher.—If press notices are any indication of the ability of a teacher, Mrs. Annie Baumann, of Oakland, Cal., who is at present devoting herself to this art, must be highly endowed. Mrs. Baumann is not a native of Germany, but of the "Golden West," and her home was in San Francisco. Her family name is Jansen, and on account of her great musical and vocal gifts Miss Annie Jansen was sent to the Conservatory of Leipsic, where she received a thorough education in piano and in singing. She has been successful both on the stage and in the concert hall. Her pleasing appearance, which she still retains, contributed much to her success.
197Of the many notices before us we must, from considerations of space, confine ourselves to a few of the most important that bear testimony to her artistic ability. She has appeared as an operatic singer in Kroll's Theatre, Berlin, in Breslau, Treves and Cologne, until her marriage to Mr. Baumann, regisseur of the theatre there, after which she devoted herself exclusively to concert. By reason of her vivacity, we can imagine what a brilliant Zerlina in "Don Giovanni" she must have been. She possesses a powerful voice, well modulated, and her delivery of the German Lieder exhibited deep feeling and excellent schooling. From some of the leading journals of Germany the following are quoted:
199A lady of charming artistic talent, Mrs. Jansen-Baumann, lately sang here. We had an opportunity to hear an unadorned, natural
