The School of Music has introduced many worthy artists to the public of Lawrence, but never one that gave the artistic pleasure that Madame Genevra Johnstone Bishop did at Music Hall last Wednesday evening. Artists of the first rank come high, but an arrangement so favorable was made with Madame Bishop, that the price of admission was made unusually low, and the sum of nearly $25.00 realized over expenses, to go towards the rental of the grand piano used in chapel. Madame Bishop is America's leading singer in Oratorio, and in her program the other evening she convinced everybody that she ranks with the greatest in all kinds of vocal interpretation. Her tone is the purest, her range extensive, and her voice equally delightful in the high, low or medium register. More beautiful phrasing, more intelligent conceptions of the character of each composition could not be conceived. Enthusiasm ran high from the first number until the last, not only for the vocal artist, but for Miss Cook the pianist. Miss Cook also presented an interesting program and was equally successful in the various styles presented. Encores were numerous and usually equalled in importance the regular numbers. Space prevents us from specifying the successful features of the concert. We understand however that an effort is being made to secure Madame Bishop for the coming rendering of the "Creation" by the Oratorio Society. If this is possible the seating capacity of University Hall will surely be taxed to the utmost.
