ADJUSTMENTS.

Remenyfs Concert.-There was a fair
sized audience at Metzerott Hall last night
to listen to the excellent violin playing of
Edouard Remenyi. Years ago a complete
and critical analysis Of this artists work
was given In The Star, and 1t only need be
said now that he has maintained his stand
ard Of excellence. His technique is almost
| faultless and he has the faculty of draw
ing the most sympathetic tones from his
instrument. He himself feels the music
that he plays and he makes his audience
feel 1t, too. Whether the theme be light
and gay or severely classic; whether 1t be
embroidered with runs and cadenzas to
show brilliancy Of execution or to demand
the broad. full movement that stirs the
strongest feeling, Remenyi is always sat-
| isfytng in his work, and the applause he
received last night was genuine and hearty.
He was assisted by Miss Minnie Methat. a
soprano Of good ability. and Signor de Riva
BERN. pianist who created a very favor
able impression.
