The president and party arrived at
the store about 2:3ol o'clock and found
Paloma wrapped UP in her practice.
They We're received by Mr.. and Mrs.
Schramm. and after being introduced
by Mr.. Partridge, the little wonder S
manager, the programme was begun
Paloma's first selection was Ruben
stems Romance" opus A. As her
little hands traverSed the keyboard in
Execution of the difficult masterpiece,
SHE party was simply overawed and in
the finale their appreciation found issue
in hearty round Of applause.
Scarcely had her listeners expressed
their wonderment, when Paloma mi
tiated her own pastorale. The rendi-
ten surpassed in vividity, when Man
ager Partridge explained the origin of
the theme. The child, he said, had be-
come very much engrossed in the pic
ture of a passing herd of sheep. Her
father. noting the manifest interest,
then explained to her the rural sim
plicity Of the herds in the old country,
the tender care of the shepherd, and
the IlUhlllS VI lllC DGliS c1o liz NUNS
craze in natures embelliShed meadows.
The portrayal, in its sweetness, en-
gaged the mind OF the young musical
prodigy until her pastorale was i'm
isheG
The composition, in itself, is truly re-
mcrkabIe In its execution each feature
Of the story it tells is made clear. The
sinkling of the bells, the call Of the
shepherd, the bleating of the lambs,
all are woven into the soft theme, rich
in melody. from which Paloma has
synlphonized.
For a third selection, another Of her
compositions, Waltz Caprice" was
given In this, Paloma displayed her
power IN technique. 1t is probably
more difficult than her pastorale, and
affords better opportunity for the tech
nical qualities of music.
Improvising is another of Paloma' S
remarkable traits. For the president S
party she ran over a few bars Of Cod
Moves in q Mysterious Way, and I'M
Droqised until she was quite carried
away, to say nothing of her distln-
suished audience.
BY request Of President Snow, she
k.followed this with her Interpretation
~ 80, My Father" enriching the ia
rni!iar air as never was done before.
AS she finished, a very pretty scene
was witnessed. The reverend presi-
sertr arose from his chair, crossed the
room and wrung the tiny hand of the
little marvel again and again, eXclalm-
Ing. THANK you, my child, thank you.
Your gifts are truly wonderful, and !
wish you utmost success in your we'll
chosen work
Before leaving, Paloma and her Z
vear-old sister, Karla, played duet,
Terdi's "Trovatore," and the listeners
again expressed appreciation. Com
ailments were bestowed upon the child
rem by every one in the room. Apostle
Richards feelingly expressed hlmself
saying: MAY the Lord bless you both;
may you live honorable and upright
lives"
The public generally has formed the
opinion that "Paloma'' is a stage name
but such is not the case. To few
who remained at the close of the re-
cital yesterday The little Californian
father. explained the name and the
very odd way IN which it so happened
the name was given the child MI
Sehramm's business is mechanical en-
gineering, and it was while in Mexico
following this line Of business, that he
first viewed the PaIoma Spanish fol

struck with the grandeur of the snow
capped peaks. glittering in the sun
ard upon returning home, the chile
being vet pnchristened, the name sug-
gested itself The wife agreed, an6
thus the name Paloma originated.
Manager Partridge announced las
evening that Salt Lake is to have al
opportunity Of hearing the Schramp
children, recital haylng beer
arranged to take place in the taberna-
y Gle on Monday evening. The announce
ment will doubtless be received Will
