ARCHER ORGAN RECITAL.
The Chicago Evening Post has this to
say of MIR. Archer: His playing fully
sustains the high reputation that he has
as a master OF the instrument. His In
terpretations which are broad and scholar
ly, are invested with a peculiar poetic
grace and delicAcy, and his technical
resources are Of the most finished charac-
ter. One trait that the Interesting pro-
gramme displayed was the gentleman's
versatility, and the artistic way In which
he brought out all the finer shadings OF
the composers musical thoughts"
