dent that was telegraphed to this country
shortly before the outbreak Of the recent
war Madame Nevada, who is well-liked
all over Europe, and whose Spanish recep-
tions have always been most hearty, es-
sayed a recital at Seville, counting on her
personal reputation TO Offset her nationality
A crowd did gather, but when the curtain
rose the singer was astonished TO see that
everyone seated had turned his or her
back upon the stage. When the vocalist at
tempted to go on, despite this discourage
ment she was given unmistakable evi-
dences of disappToval. The Queen, with
whom Madame Nevada had been a fayOrite
afterwaTd presented her with diamond
bracelet, in token Of her sorrow at the in
cident but it is not probable that the artist
will ever return to the land Of the dons.
The sale Of seats for her local concert
which is being conducted at Sanders &
Stayman's, has been very large, and more
friendly audience is assured her here.
OF De Pachmann's recent concert in Chi
cago, the Chronicle" of that city is quot
ed as having said:
With very firm and certain hands Vladimir De
Pschmann last night drew from the piano more Of
its soul than any great virtuoso who has recent y
visited us IL was the first recital Of the gredf
Russian pianist at Central Music Hall. Happily
the audience was large and discriminatory ap-
preciatiye, being made up of music lovers. The
deliberateness of De Pachmanns manner, the
perfection Of his touch delicate yet firm, the Cb
sence OF those theatrical attitudes, and of that
wild cl8wing at the keys and hOurishing Of hands
to which some Of the great pianists viii
resort, made his art seem all the more wonderful
Beginning with the Weber Sonata which he
played beautifully, De Paemann was on init
mate terms with the hearts Of his audience at
once. Gradually with the deliciOusy rendered
music OF SchumaHu, the variety and power of the
pianist developed until the supremely fine
Interpretation Of the Rondo CapriecosO' simply
carried the audience by storm. An encore was
demanded and in part given, hut the applause
went on, 50 the artist gave a "Berceuse" by
Chopin, which was generous reward indeed. 1t
is certain that Chopin has never been more SYM
pathetically translated than by the magic fingers
OF this great foreigner.
De Pschmann is to be heard shortly at
the Columbia.
