BRoNIsLAw HUBERMAN.-Those who
attended the debut Of the violinist Huber
man in Washington had the fact inGelibly
impressed on their minds that the boy was
more than q prodigy-but one word de-
scribes him-genius, for such he is. The lad
from Warsaw, who has had such sue
cess abroad, is repeating these successes
in this country. He is a wonderful boy,
who charms and amazes his audience, q
virtuoso, an intellectual marvel. In play
ing he exhibits the certainty and skill of q
veteran, and in phrasing employs the ut
most nicely of discrimination. His inter-
pretations are all that could be wished and
no finer example could be given than his
rendition of the "Traumerie," given as an
encore at his concert Sunday last. The
simple melody was presented with abse-
lutely no straining after effect, yet from
the muteds strings came q pure tone, true
to the absolute vibration and Of thrilling
intensity. He ls bog in years, bat q man
in the. power Of his SHDression and q great
artist, with. all powersgat his command.
