THE HENSCHEL RECITAL.-The song
recital to be given at the Columbia Theater
on Tuesday afternoon, April 16, by Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Henschel is attracting large
amount of interest among music lovers.
The Henschel recitals are characterized by
an artistic charm and simplicity which can

ago wholly unheralded, and in a very un-
ostentatious way began an improvised tour
which has extended from Boston to Min
neapolis. When he concludes his list OF
enea gements in New York on Saturday and
Monday he will have given a series of
twenty recitals. This, his third, visit to
the United States has emphasized the fact
that he now stands in the front rank of
pianoforte v1rtuosi. He may not be quite
at the zenith Of his career, for he is still
very young man, but he cannot be far
from it.
