an imperative encore Iast wednesday
evening. SAYS: This made even Mr.
Comce. who guarded the door with his
military cloak smile most radiantly TO
realize that Mr. Nikisch had actually
awakened Providence audience TO sucn

Providence audiences is that they are
good-naturedly inclined to be eptausi-
astic over programs that would bring
Boston and New York critics down upon
the able conductor like flock OF hawks.
