VLADIMIR DE PAcHMANN.


One of the most artistic musical events
OF the season will take place at the Met
ropolitan Opera House on Thursday even
ing next. In speaking of NJ. de Pach-
mann's performance, the New York Com
nlereisl Adreftser comments as follows:
de Paehmann's performance last evening
is bound not only to rank among the me-
morable feats Of pianism that have been
offered to the New York public, but also
as one that Will be extremely difficult for
any later artist to equal. Mr.. de Pach-
mann was heard in other selections
Schumann romance, La Fileuse,' by Raft
composition by his wife-he also played
schsrzo for two pianos by Saint.Saens
with Nine. de Pachmann, and amiably
gave as encore Rubinstein barcarolle:
but all his later work lacked the element
OF importance, when contrasted with the
rendering of the minor concerto. The
concert by itself would be sufficient to en-
title him to the position of great Chopin
player
At the Metropolitan Theater, tomorrow
and Tuesday evenings, theater-goers will
have an opportunity of witnessing those
clever comedians, Gus Williams and John
I. Kelly, in their new farce-comedy en-
titled sc and l." The comedy is said to en-
brace an interesting plot interspersed with
extremely funny situations and variety
of new and catchy music with new songs
by Williams. Mr.. Kelly's wit, together
with Mr.. Williams, will have tendency
to create no little merriment. ''U and L"
is satire on New York fat houses, and
was constructed for laughing purposes, and
as Professor Ungerboltz and O'Donovan
Innis, Messrs. Williams and Kelly have
found 1t the two greatest characters of
their lives. They are ably supported by a
company of comedians directed by Pro-
lessor Hermann and George w. Lederer.
Miss Florrie West, who was especially en-
gagged in England to create the soubrette
role, has made decided impression, her
singing, acting and dancing being admira-
bic. Miss Gertrude leila, soprano, has
been added to the lis. of ~ and PSI
clever artists. There should be 70 doubt
of the company's success in this city, for
besides the play, Messrs. Williams and
Kelly have been for many years popular
fayoritee.
