Scheda Violin Recital.
There was very thin attendance
at Kotzschmar hall last evening, on the
occasion of the gland violin recital CIV
EN- by the pupils of Mr.. Scheda. This is
not matter of surprise for Mr.. Scheda
is comparative stranger to Portland
people and does not reflect upon his
merits as teacher In the least. Mr..
Scheda is to be congratulated on his pu-
pills. They did very good work last
night. Their stage presence was good,
they exhibited no trepidation, and their
performances showed intelligence and
ability. Their bowling was firm, grace
full and easy, their tone good and they
played with expression. One little fell
low, Master Charles Hildman, was par
because he was SO small, for
the ease and natlralness of his presence
and the artistic way inswhich no gave
an adagio of Haydn's. Mr.. Scheda and
Mr.. Whitman played Schubert's sere-
made, but were not in tone and conse-
uuently the number was not a success.
Later Mr.. Scheda played a polonaise of
Laub's, with the perfection of technique
for which he is noted. Miss Ruth G.
Long sang twice most acceptably.
2 The violin used by Mr.. Scheda last
night, was made by Mr.. Taylor of Lewiss
ton and has only been used three weeks...
