A FAMOUS HARPIsr.
Erin's Talented Daughter, Miss Josephine
Sullivan, to appear In Minneapolis.

-
The appearance of Miss Josephine
Sullivan, the worlds foremost harpist,
at the Lyceum Theater, Friday even
ing, December %, affords lovers of
music the opportunity of rare, and
for most of them novel, artistic
treat. The world is probably more
familiar with the emblematic and
ideal use of the harp than with the
instrument itself and it's music. Even
to Irishmen themselves-to the great
majority at least-the harp has be-
come during the last few generations
a mere name, a tradition. What
Moore sang so sadly Of the harp of
Tara has not ceased to be true to
some extent; the harp "hangs mute"
save for an occasional chord. There
is difference, however. 1t is no long
er chord that "breaks at night" to
tell a tale of ruin; it is a morning
chord that tells a tale Of hope and of
more than hope, tale of actual tri-
umph. The rescue of the harp from
neglect and oblivion has been we'll adj
vanced in recent years, and the name
most widely and deservedly famous
in the renaissance movement is that
of Miss Josephine Sullivan. At the
time of the Worlds Fair in Chicago
Miss Sullivan, though then only q
chool-girl, had attained such eminence
as a harpist that she was chosen to
represent Irish music on that historic
occasion. And the many thousands
who then heard and were charmed by
her playing felt for the first time the
full meaning of ''the soul of music"
of which Moore had sung so tenderly.
Since that time Miss Sullivan has
made the harp and it's cause her life
work. She has appeared on many
great occasions side by side with the
worlds foremost talent in other must
cal roles and she has everywhere been
received with enthusiasm and approx
ed by competent critics as an artist of
the first order. Through hers more
than through any other living talent
the merits of the harp have been dem
onstrated and its claim to rank among
the subtlest and most substituting mu-
steal instruments indicated.
Her best introduction to the public
of the northwest will be few ex-
| tracts from the notices of her talent
that have appeared in the press in
Ireland, England, Canada and the
United States. The Belfast News
Letter, reporting grand concert in
the Ulster capital, where Miss Sullivan
appeared in company with Madame
Nordica, gives her the place of emil
hence after the celebrated prima
donna. Zone of the most attractive
incidents of the evening was the per-
Torrance of the young harpist, Miss
Josephine Sullivan, who gave two
charming harp solos and was warmly
encored." Irish Society Dublin) says:
"a great novelty and one that proved
most enjoyable was the harp solo by
Miss Josephine Sullivan, who fairly
ostonished her hearers by her beauti-
'ully sympathetic playing" Hardly
paper in Ireland but has had similar
hings to say. AS representative of
.ondon opinion, the following from
he Pail Mall Gazette will suffice:
