In one or tuo pi u e the pro.luetion showed that it had beep, produced by amateurs', but on the whole, it was as vood. and far better, than many prof s-donal shows of similar character which come to f-'outh F.end.

Don't say you ssw U In the newspaper." Say Neu-Tirres

There muLt be pome kinl of u f--j-ee;al guardian ant;el keeping watch over h'aM, the harpist-pianl?'... and Martin I lichardson, the tenor, for the applause and appreciation that they received from a South I lend audienc e at the conservatory hut niuht was unprecedented. Power and brilliancy and splendid musicianship were the qualities of both artist.- and the varied program which they presented avc them ample opportunity to prove the versatility of their fcifts. Alberto Salvi is an Italian, and of ae they say, but one was prone to doubt it when one looked at him and saw a fair-haired, youthful looking person. Hut Italian or not, or whfther he va old or younir, he crtainly was a marvellous artist, as a harpi.-t and a piani.-t and composer. The latter because two of the things lie played were compositions of his own. The first number by him, a o meerto, composed by A. Zabel, a Ilussian, was wonderful. There are harpists and harpists, but th-re are none who play like Salvi, and his rendition of the Ilussian number was especially 1 rilliant. The enc ore-, an impro . ization of Salvi's own rn tl:ir..r, -as mally pleasing. In h'.s c thd- number-, tbe 'T.all le," .".iiotlp r ( o,.',;u sit: n ly the Ku - an roiaio r. I'.ib!. ami in SVhnockei's 'i'auta.iC Canrpe" and the "Grand St-r.:iata." i.uother Kalvi comiosit:on, be displaced the same artistry and .-kill. llk lianl-on S( ore. Richardson, the tenor, in his first number, an ari i from "La I'.ohcme," scored instantaneous succt ss, and in his ,in-4in of Ma-ca"ni'.s "Oavalb ri i ltustieana'' (the h'iciliana, and th'- r.iimlisi). Ii1 was mar clous. Of Ifs:-er iinportanc-o, from the viewprdnt of tin- acti'.e musical student, wcro his hist k I f so tips, ,Sur?r in the I-Imrli-h, but undoubtedly they were rather more pleasing and appreciated by tbe casual listener. The brst, "Lift Thine Fyes." by Lo.iran, and "Life's Paradise," were a little hit crandilo-iuent. and a third, "The Trumpet Call," by Sanderson, was sunir with a preat leal of military I'l'ci.-ion or decision, but the last, Ibirlei-h's "Littie Mother of Mine." could not have failed to come up to the hopes and expectations of the most critical. A sweet somr, in itself, it was -riven a delightful sinim.r by Mr. Kichardson. One of his other encores. "Mother M:-.':hree," left eine with that same feelii g that lie could sin.? the nearer, dearer and more intimate home ponirs with just as much i harm and ability as ho did his bir tilings. Another encore was a son? story of an Irish lad who was ery much in love with a colleen, who was very prone to be indifferent

at the attentions of the enamored

youth. Mr. Kichardson. sdn?s the Irish lilts as if he micht be more than tlnee-fourths of that nationality himself. The last was a proup of Neapolitan folk son us-, sun? in the Neapolitan, and very well done at that. Hut the Knplish were the best, with the exception to the aria from "La Iadieme" and the Maseapni number. Sala. the relloit, and Gertrude Halo, dramatic soprano, arc the thir l and last of the series of special artists who will appear here this winter under the direction of the association, but tho regular monthly concerts will be continued.
