brilliantly played by Nine, Hess Fuchs and
Mrs. H.. r. Whitmore. Miss Julia ITALIA
ferro sang with fine feeling Donizettfs ex-
quisite gem, "Oh. Mia Fernando Nine.
Hess Fuchs played the Cappriccio Brilliante
Of Mendelssohn very effectively, showing
excellent technique. Mr.. wilkins, who was
In excellent voice, sang Before the Dawn"
with excellent finish. and the duo, "Oh, That
We Two Were Maylng.' by Miss Taliaferro
and MIR. wilkins, was an artistic ending OF a
very successful recital. The ladies desire
to extend their thanks to Mr.. Adolph Meyer
for the use of the hall and other courtesics
shown.
The Theodor Salmon piano recital on last
Monday evening drew another good sized
and appreciative audience. MIR. Salmon on
this occasion again displayed his wonder
full technique, exquisite phrasing and sympa-
thetic musical touch. In his own beauti-
full "RomanZa" and the Chopin q minor
Nocturne, Mr.. Salmon did some remark
able legato playing, and demonstrated his
AGILITY to make the piano sing, and give eN-
preston to the tenderest feeling and deep
est emotions. The Phantom Chase" was
played with remarkable brilliance, dash and
Nlgor, and Gottschalk's "Pasuuinade' was
followed by n perfect storm OF applause.
No numbers on the program. however. were
better received or more appreciated than
the interesting Variations" for two pianos
by Saint-Saens. and the "Gavotte and
Musette" by Ran, played by Mr.. Salmon
and Mr.. Martin Calm, in a most finished and
mastery manner, attesting the skill of the
musicians and the merits of the pianos
used. Mrs. Cotton sang with her usual
charm and excellent style the difficult arle
by Rossini, and two lovely songs by Ru-
binstein and Donizetti. Mr.. Taber delighted
the audience with his organ selections. and
to Mr.. j. r.. Butler belongs special praise
for the mCsicianly manner in which he
played the accomplishments to the vocal
numbers Altogether the recital was a
most enjoyable affair, and proved one of
the greatest artistic successes of the season.
Sydney Grundy's Sowing the Wind"
which is still running at the Empire theater,
appears to be the only genuine dramatic
success in New York this season. Charles
Frohman's stock company had ''The Gud-
geons" in rehearsal, but the success of
Sowing the Wind" is so positive that all
arrangements for any other production this
spring have been abandoned. Sydney
Grundy's play will be the principal one in
the repertory Of the Charles Frohman stock
company during its spring and summer tour.
Nine. Niklta, the singer, has had a
sufficient number of strange animals given
to her to start a menagerie. A Russian
prince gave her a white Siberian cat, which
is now her constant companion. Other
animals she possesses are white rats. doves ,
and dogs. Her chief pet, however, is a
lizard of the chameleon variety.
