 Doe has kept his word and uses a hurdy -gurdv to soothe the crowd at Lewiston. Of the artists opening per formance the Lewiston Journal says: One of the first to arrive was Signor Stagnaro, the distinguished Italian virtuoso on the hurdy-gurdy There are many who liken Stagnaro's playing to Paderewslzi. but Paddy never saw the day when he could or would play the hurdy-gurdy like Stagnaro. Stag naro wheeled his machine sn behind the grandstand on the east side of the hall at about T:45 p. r1l., removed the l covering. spit on his hands and pro- ceeded to 'virtuase' Such technique! Such runsl Such staccatas! Such clouts at high notes! Such facility and yet such depth and liquidity of ex- precision! Such rushes down the cen ter; such steps-right in the gnal as it were! And. oh, the silyery scales; the rapid arpaggios like the flight of some delicate bird across a nocturnal lake. Stagnaro had 'em and a lot more. His playing is afistocratic. Hellenic. noble, calm, satisfying, like Greek art. Stag naro is virile. eager. forceful. When he tackles the machine in his shirt sleeves and interprets a classic he is as one inspired. His noble Italian brow drips moisture like lawn hose around the joints.

Stagfa4o became spir- itualized and -cnnsummate and nearly ripped off the wheels To see Stagnaro and stay in the gallery is a feat.''
