"THE MARTYRS." SUCCESSFUL EVENT AT THE MARKET HALL. T>arii,i'iiar interest was centred in the per- formance of "The Martyrs," which was given at the Mar-kef Hall on Tuesday evening by the Llanelly Male Voice Society, under the con- ductor ship of Mr. Dan S. Evans, whose abili- 'ties are by this time well known to local 'audiences. Tnamuch as the proceeds of the ;Clveiit were to be devoted towards the funds of such an admirable institution as the Llanelly Nursing Association, which has rendered such "excellent service's in alleviating the many surferings which the human race is heir to, it- -was no wonder that the .event attracted such a representative audience. There is a particular chain) in Maunuer's -composition, "The Martyrs," which is both pleasing and descriptive,without being unduly difficult. Ephesus in the first century of the era is the scene depicted, when the .citizens sing the praises of and worship their 'patron goddess, now :pap.utarly known as Diana. The characters were represented as 'follows:—"Lycon," a Christian, Mr. Llewelyn R. Bo-wen; "Pbias," his daughter, Miss Eva Phillips-Jones, R.A.M.; "Tliasis," a heathen philosopher, Mr. Richard Thomas. A feature of the composition is the duetts for male Voices, which are admirably adapted. Three Fates" and the triumphall chorus, "Queen of Heaven victorious," -were very effectively rendered, for which The andlenf-e demonstrated their appreciation. To Air. Richard Thomas must 'be awarded the laurels of being the star of the evening, and his interpretations without exception left nothing to be desired, particularly "Come, let Us worship the gods," "Woe, woe to the fools," and the duett with Mr. 'Bow-en, "The moon 'hath raised her 'laii.ip above"; also the duett -with Miss Jones, "A night in Venice." This was Miss Jones's first appearance on a local, concert, platform, and her debut was hailed with delight. She is the daughter of the late highly-reepected Dr. Jones, and possesses a powerful voice. Her best effort was "Se Saran Rose," when she was compelled to respond. In this item she was accompanied by her sister. The choir was supplemented by a powerful -orchestra, which gave valuable assistance, "under the leadership of Mr: 'David Thomas, F.C.V., who also gave a violin solo in the mis- cellaneous part. Mr Arthur Richmond, accom- panied in an able manner. The committee desire to thank those who so •willingly assisted in the various duties that are associated with a production of this de- 'scription. Also, Messrs. Thompson and Shac- fcell for the use of their piano, Messrs. Brown, 'Thomas, and John for timber, and Mr. L. W. Adams for decorating the 'Hall; also the ,orchestra. for their gratuitous services.
