The Baldwin Theater Could Not
Contain All Who Went
to Listen.
AN OVATION FOR MARs1cK.
The Great French Violinist Received
With Tumultuous Applause by His
First Local Audience.

Long before the celebrated Paderewski
struck his first note on the piano at the
Baldwin Theater last night the vocal
music at the box Office had begun. No
seats could be bought, not even standing
room was to be Obtained, and hundreds of
disappointed people felt very much inclined
to discuss the matter with the ticket
agents, the doorkeepers, the police and
each other.
The men and women who could not get
into the theater, though they offered pre-
miums and supplications, would have
formed fair-sized audience on an ordi-
nary occasion.
Even before the audience was seated
only the central aisle could be kept open.
Then that became iammed and for several
minutes there was good-natured confusion
among the people trying to get to their
seats. go through the center, suggested
an usher to stout man when both seemed
helplessly stalled. But Berkeley foot
! ball eleven could not have gone through
the center at that time.
It was one of the biggest audiences ever
known at the Baldwin and large proper
tion OF those present were people of musi-
cal knowledge and critical tastes.
Marsick made a decidedly strong i'm
preston on his hearers. He was enthu-
siastically applauded at every number. A
man of excellent appearance on the music
platform. he wears his hair in way that
gives suggestion of the Paderevski 81 lory.

ira will give concert at the Baldwin. On
