EMPIRE THEATRE—•MONDAY. THE CHERNLAVSKY TRIO. In every city in which these musicians have appeared the critical fraternity have awarded them musical honour.*, and they seem to have wandereu into many lands throughout the civilised world, probably to a greater ex- ! tent that any other company of artists , in the profession. They have toured Africa three times, New Zealand three , times, Australia and China twice, and I once in Japan and India, and in addition they have appeared in nearly all the principal cities of Europe and South ; America. With many critical reviews in the •writer’s possession, one from the ; Toronto World, dated November I*s, tersely sums up the Clierniavsky Trio’s musical abilities, and establishes their claim for consideration. “These three Russians proved themselves artists of the foremost rank, brilliant soloists, and supurb ensemble players. Among the Concerted numbers ’were a group of three favourite melodies specially arranged for a trio performance, and BraJnns “Slave Dance” was one of the three. It was played with a surprising biguess and sonority of tone. The violinist, ’cellist and pianist were playing each for all, and all for each.” The Cheraiavsky Trio A’ili give a concert at the Empire Theatre on Monday evening, commencing at 8 p.m. Box plans are now open at Collier’s.

Miss Lois Evans, soprano, who makes her first appearance here, has a very extensive repertoire, and the numbers to be rendered by her at Tuesday’s concert include some of its gems. Some of Miss Evans’ work will be extracts from grand opera, and as a contrast •ballads of lighter vein wil be submitted. Besides a beautiful voice, Miss charming personality. Mr. Neal Roberts’ choice of songs for the concert is Evans hay another great asset, a most a happy one, and in Kennedy Russell’s
