1and the invités d'honneur were S. E. W. W. Heard, Governor of Louisiana; Monsieur le Contre Amiral Rivet, commandant en chef de la division navale de l'Atlantique, et son état-major général; Monsieur Amelet, capitaine de vaisseau, commandant du croiseur La Tage, et messieurs les officiers du Tage; Hon. Paul Capdevielle, maire de la Nouvelle-Orléan, et messieurs les présidents des Sociétés Françaises. These guests of honor occupied the proscenium boxes. The committee of direction were: J. F. Lafont, president; E. Poeser, vice president; E. de Blanc, second vice president; Vital Tujague, treasurer, and the following gentlemen: A. Fortier, G. V. Soniat, M. Dubois, A. Oemichen, F. Bildstein, A. Maurin, A. Langlois, E. Houline and P. Cougot.
3Twenty-seven gentlemen acted upon the reception committee, with J. M. Vergnole as president. Despite the storm outside the house was filled with a fashionable audience.
5On the nights of the 16th and 17th interruptions occurred, as the opera house was used for the Mardi Gras balls of Comus and the Atlanteans.
7Miss Alice Roosevelt, daughter of the President of the United States, arrived here on the 17th, and that evening at the Atlanteans' ball, in the old French Opera House, a pleasant surprise awaited her. The King and Queen of the ball had received the court of last year, when the King bade his special courier to take a royal decree printed in gold on white parchment to Miss Roosevelt. This scroll conveyed to her the King's wish that she should meet his Queen and court. The maskers formed so as to make an aisle from her box to the platform, and as Miss Roosevelt approached the platform the band struck up "Dixie," and gave her the Dixie cheer, as only those who have heard it South can fully appreciate. Miss Roosevelt was equal to the occasion, and will probably never forget this royal welcome to New Orleans.
9The formal closing of the French Opera will be on the 21st, at which time acts from "Lakmé," "Messaline" and "La Juive" will be given. It promises to be an especial gala night, and boxes at $30 and seats at $5 are scarce.
11Mrs. W. C. C. Claiborne will entertain with a musicale on the afternoon of the 14th in honor of Mrs. Leila S. Hickox.
13The second in the series of concerts given at the home of Mrs. Harry Howard for the furtherance of instrumental music was a piano recital by Mme. Marguerite Samuel on the afternoon of the 14th. Madame Samuel showed the artist's touch and technic from beginning to the end of her program. She brought out the beauties of Mozart and Bach. Her legato work in the Beethoven number was good; the Novelette, by Schumann, was played with brilliancy, as was the Scherzo, by Chopin, her closing number. She gave a crisp reading of Chopin, which was a trifle surprising, as she had displayed such a delicate appreciation of her previous numbers.
15This, however, is largely a matter of taste, and not a lack of musical understanding.
17The program was as follows:
19Sonate …………………………………………………….Mozart
20Theme et Variations. Menuet. Marche Turque.
21Prelude No. 2 ……………………………………………..S. Bach
22Fugue ………………………………………………………..S. Bach
23Gigue ………………………………………………………..S. Bach
24Andante from Moonlight Sonata …………………….Beethoven
25Novelette ……………………………………………………Schumann
26Etude, C sharp minor ………………………………….Chopin
27Valse, op. posth., E moll minor …………………….Chopin
28Nocturne, F sharp minor ……………………………….Chopin
29Prelude, D flat major …………………………………….Chopin
30Scherzo, B flat minor ……………………………………Chopin
32It was a delightful program, and greatly enjoyed by the audience.
