Madame Carreno.-Madame Theresa Car
reno is remembered as a great pianist but
her present visit to this country has sur
passed all former appearances. and the de-
mands for return engagements where she
has played, II filled, would keep her busy
long after the close of the musical season.
Madame Carreno is woman of Individual
tastes, many of her interpretations being
out of the traditional, and it is this that
appeals to her auditors, for II gives them
something to think about. In the brillianCy
of Liszt Carreno revels and so does the
audience Her playing of Chopin is in every
way what may be termed healthy, a dis
t1nct contrast 10 the customary morbid and
sickly sent1mentality shown. Life glowing
color and animation Is thrown into Carrie

poetry and virility which are not often
