Eduard Strauss himself has changed very
| little since he appeared in America ten
| years ago. The Mephistophelian makeup,
| the darling restless movement, the inces-
| nhaS q time
| Der Of a lank and towering form, ana the
occasional dashes at the violin with move
| ment as if he were going to dance INTO
| the auditorium, distinguish the Austrian
! from all other conductors, and he STANDS
alone as mastery Interpreter of his own
and his brothers beautiful compositions,
| The last note of a selection hardly dies
1 away before Strauss jumps down from the
| conductors stand and hides behind pha-
| lanx of musicians, but at the first applause
| he shoots back again and bows with all
| the air of courtier. The orchestra comes
| here for an afternoon and Sunday evening,
| and it should receive cordial reception
as it has been giving in all cities where
| Strauss concerts have been played.

Washington which have been brought into
| prominence by reason of the uniform ex-

| by It's director, Mr.. Angelo c. Fronani,
