At the Ellis Opera House Thursday April 18. The Burch Concert. The orchestra concert|by Burch’s orchestra Friday evening brought out only a fair house, but the program was one of the mosteenjoyable musical eveuts ot the season. Every member was heartily ap plauded. The orchestra’s rendition of ‘‘William Tell” was the most artistic work of the evening. Miss Burch sang one solo in place of one of the regular numbers and was heartily eucored. The piccolo solo by E. W. Kinsley was also very enjoyable. Mr. Kinsley is piccolo artist with Spencer’s band and is well knows to our people. He added much to his already en viable reputation as a piccolo and flute soloist and he was compelled to respond to an encore. The violin solo, “Hungarian Rhap sodie,” by Mr. Burch was another number that was encored and de servedly too, as Mr. Burch is certainly very clever with the king ot instruments.—El Paso Journal.
