AMY FAY'S PIANO CONVERSATIONS
Next Wednesday night will take place at
Universaist Church the piano conversation
by Amy Fay, the weil-known pianist and
author of Music Study in Germany Miss
Fay is the originator of the piano lecture
recitais. for she talks little before each
piece and puts the audience in SyInp2-
thetic frame of mind before beginning to
play. 1t is evident that when the people
know what to expect they ENJOY 1t a great
deal better, and anybody who has read her
book, which enjoys an immense popularity,
may well imagine in what captivating man
ner she knows how to put herself en- rap
port with the audience. Miss Amy Fay
born in Louisiana and educated Il member
of the most cultivated circle OF New En-
gland society. She studied music under
Tausis. Kullak and List and is considered
one of the most finished pianists now before
The public. The program is varied and in
teresting, embracing the classic, romantic
and modern schools, and great interest is

THE E."-Manager F.orenz Zieg-
field is a firm believer in the value of first
class actors to develop and sustain the
success of play. When The Turtle
originally produced at the Manhattan Thea
ter in New York the public marveled at
the expensive cast and figured that so
many high-salaried people in one organiza-
ton could not possibly prove a successful
business proposition. That the astute Mr.
Liegfeld was correct is shown by the fact
that this extremely funny French farce is
now rapidly approaching its 2UOth per
1ormance at the home theater. The Tur-
tie will soon make a tour of the cities

into touch with even his subtler interpre-

alone confined to his piano nor tongue. as
IS evidenced by the dismissal of Herr Ehr-

defeated by Eosentbal in a newspaper dis
cusson. 1t is at home that the great pianist
appears at his best; always artistic, ever a
musician, his personality cannot fail to
please. At his charming place near Trieste
he spends the most of his time practiCing
and in study, and although always ready
to receive mis- friends, Yet he is never willing
to leave the Keyboard at what time they
may find him there. SO it was Mr. Henry
