His attack is clean. vigorous and
mastery, and his singing quality ana
intonation are rarely good. His ma
tionality is very plainly felt all through
his playing. but in the Hungarian Pas
toral he even out-played himself. All
the plaintive melancholy. the exquisite
melodious sadness that pent up in that
nations history. Mr.. Remenyi placed be-
fore his audience last night through his
bow, and although he made all his num-
beers interesting by his Interpretation and
execution, the Pastoral was easily the
gem of the evening and the Delicious
Pizzicati that followed Immediately with
its fantastic play of light and shade
proved most fascinating foil to it.
Miss Pauline Stein is charming
singer. Her voice is a light high soprano.
The quality is extremely pleasing and her
use Of it in each of her various and vary
ing numbers was most artistic.
Henry Eames as an accompanies is all
that could be asked. He subordinates
his piano just enough not to obtrude, yet
the accompaniment sustains and is al
ways with the string or yocie. AS a
suloist he does not show to his best adj

Last night the demand for encores fol-
lowed each number as usual and whether
it was appreciation of the really fine
music, or desire on the part of the au-
dience to remain as long as possible and
gaze on a delectable black tin sign, was
not explained.
This sign hung with careless abandon
and easy grace against the light back
ground and from the upper front corner
OF curly maple or oak piano. 1t bore
on its glistening surface a legend done in
white paint which implied that said piano
belongs To certain music house. What
ever the mutual advantage of such adver-
tising is the effect is trifie wearing on
suffering public that is simply an un-
willing but helpless cnlooker. Following
