eral sentiment expressed by yesterdays
audience was: What pity we do
not hear them more frequently" The
violin playing of Frank SeiDert was
marked by that clear and distinct ex-
preston which Is looked for only in the
master-breadth and power of musical
sentiment, richness. warmth and per-
feet Smoothness of tone. His bravura
was free from trickery and controlled
by taste, while bis stage presence was
graceful easy and refined.
At the piano George Seibert seemed
perfectly at home. His true artistic
feeling is conspicuous to his audience,
while his technique proclaimS him a
conscientious student of his instrument.
He seemed to enter into the spirit of
the several compositions, and gave them
skillful treatment. Encore succeeded
| encore so insiStently that the pro-
gramme was thereby much heightened.
and the brothers must have been highly
gratitied with the plaudits heaped upon
them. The programme concluded with
| a selection from "Panjandrum," the
popular comedy opera which has been
dellghting ST. Paul audiences at The
| Metropolitan opera house during the
past week. For the rendition of this
number j. S. Hitler. the musical direc-
tor of the De Wolf Hopper Opera COM
pany welded the baton. The music is
bright and sparkling-what is termed
''popular"-and, under the expert lead
ership of Mir. Hiller, pleased the large
audience much. The popularity of the
Seibert concerts continues to increase.
They merit the hearty approval of our
npOnla.
