IT1noora Rice q Former pDpil of tho Ia ta
Remenyi. the great violinist, gave a re-
cital at the Presbyterian church in Deer
Lodge, last Friday evening. The young
gentleman is certainly an artist in his
line, and can make his violin laugh, cry,
weep. wall, moan, scream or yell, as he
sees fit; but his selections, to our notion,
are entirely too classical for the average
audience. We admit our musical educa-
ton has been sadly neglected, but believe
that we can enjoy a tune with the best
of them, n at the risk of being laughed
at we give it as our opinion that if the
beautiful and perfect notes the gentle
man made or his violin had been formed
into some popular tune, it would have
been a world-beater. Miss Norma Rob
insor accompanied MI. Rice on the piano,
and did it to perfection, receiving many
compliments from those present. In
fact, the gentleman himself paid her a
high tribute as a pianist by stating that
with her assistance he could render the
same programme here as in the city of
New York.
