NINE TERESA CARRENo.-Prohably
the greatest woman pianist in the world is
Nine. Teresa Carreno. She has won the
favor OF audiences in every country of The
old world. She has decorations sparkling
with diamonds from nearly every court IN
Europe, where her artistic career has lately
been more extensively pursued. 1t is I'M
possible. though, to forget that after all
the chief part of her career as concert
pianist is identified with this country. Her
debut was made if New York when she
was only nine years old. Her first concert
tours were In the United States. and here
1t was that she gained ner first artistic
recognition. IL has proved itself to re
firmly established. for each return to us,
whether 1t was from Venezuela or Ger

latest coming is likely to prove yet more
strongly her hole on the affections of
American audiences. who have found her
