Musical Notes.

The announcement that Harold Bauer. the
pianist, will play at the next concert of the
Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, at Eng
lish's Opera House, Jan. q (next Monday
night, has aroused much interest in local
musical circles. With the possible excep-
ton of one or two May Festival PERFORM
ances indianapolis has enjoyed no more
important event in piano-playing since Pad
erewski's visit. The great Polish pianist
rave a recital in English's Opera House in
the days before that theater was remod-
eled. Bauer. who is a pupil of Paderewski,
will be heard in the same house, but under
vastly more favorable conditions, for he
will not only have a beautiful auditorium
in which to display his skill and technique,
but will in addition have the assistance of
a competent orchestra, thus being enabled
to present one of the great masterpieces
Of musical literature, namely, one of the
great concertos for piano and orchestra.
1t is only in the concerto that piano music
Is heard in its highest form, and the Saint
Saens G minor, which will be given at this
concert, is one of the most brilliant con-
certos ever written. There is food for re-
fection in the present musical conditions
IT. this city, as compared with those which
ODtdlneu only a rev years ago, and no
little reason for congratulation. Indianap-
Oils coulc not then hear Paderewski with
an orchestra, because at that time, which
is not so long ago, the city had no orches-
ira and Paderewski was too great and
high-priced an artist to carry a complete
orchestra on his tour. The appearance
Of Harold Bauer with the Symphony Or
chestra may, therefore, be said to mark an
epoch IN the musical growth and Develop
ment of the city. The playing of this young
pianist Is said TO be characterized by much
OF the beauty OF tone and refinement of his
masters performances. TIL development
OF his tone-sense has been greatly enhanced
by his study of the violin, of which instru-
ment he is declared to be a master. Mr..
Bauer will be heard in several selections
for the piano alone. The orchestra numbers
will include the Mendelssohn Symphony No.
3, known as the Scotch symphony. Seats
for this concert will be placed on sale at
the box office of English's Opera House
Wednesday OF the present week.

and their dainty, graceful. yet strong and
self-reliant daughters-types of that Amer
lean girl over which the whole world has
come to wonder and admire. Into the
scenes are brought also officers and sol
diers, Mexicans and Chinese, fair samples
of the heterogeneous community which Mr..
Thomas has chosen to utilize in the way OF
literary and dramatic material. The piece
is as full of bright and contrasting colors
as the changing combinations of a kaleido-
scope. 1t fairly pulses with fresh, vigorous,
active life of the young West. 1t has n

"The Village Parson.' one of Hal Reid's
pretty pastoral plays, new to indianapolis
theater-goers, will be presented at the Park
Theater during the latter half of the pres
sent week, opening Thursday afternoon.
The piece is described as containing much
religious and dramatic emotion and as be-
ing thoroughly clean and lofty in ideal.
Parson Cooley, the principal character, is
called upon to do considerable dramatic
work, and he does it eXcellenty, it is said.
Every one of the five acts of the play is
fitted with a touching climax, several of
which are calculated to appeal forcibly to
those of emotional natures. Carl Anthony
is said to be admirably cast in the princi-
pal role and Miss Anna Viola Risher plays
the part of Fern Cooley, showing a true
womanly conception of the duties of a wife
and mother, although being in a position
requiring her to attempt to conceal from
her husband and the world the secret of
her parentage. Mrs. Cooley becomes es-
opportunity for strong emotional acting on
the part of both Mr.. Anthony and Miss
Fisher. Felix and Bud Gordon. two broth
ers in crime, are portrayed by L. Laurence
Lee and Edward Loring. Scott Lawrence,
as Andy Thorn, a typical h~usbandman, fur
and natural. Mrs. Lawrence is ably assist
ed by Mrs. George w. Barnum, as Gretchen
Van Craus, Il naturalist, with a laugabIe.
broken manner of speech. There is q de-
tective in the fourth act who has plenty to
occupy his time and attention. Manager
w. T.. Vaudeville has received hearty con-
gratulations upon his wisdom in gathering

ten play.
