THE RETURN OF NJ. PUcSo.

IN an affair OF fine dignity and more than ordi-
nary interest NJ. Raoul Pugno, who was here five
years ago, effected his re-entrance into local con-
cert room IN carnegie Hall last night Five years
ago he came quite Gnannounced and seemed to be
willing 70 figure chiefly as the personal associate ana
artistic companion OF NJ. Ysaye He was first heard
at the second OF the somewhat too pretentfous
subscription concerts conducted by NJ. Seidl -
the Wa!oorf-Astoria He played Schubert's Wan
derer' fantasia with Liszts additions 4 month
so later he was the solo performer at a concert
of the Philharmonic Society and played Grieg's
concerto. Still later he heard at popular con
certs in the Metropolitan Opera House in chamber
music, with his comrades. Ysaye and Gerardy. and
finally in concert OF French music with the Chi
oago Symphony Orchestra. When he returned TO
his native France he had established here a repu-
tation for soldty Of taste. finish and technical exc
cution which bespoke Tor him hearty welcome on
a possible return. That welcome was extended
to him with great cordiality last night and
the greeting had become an ovation long before the
evening NJ Pugno plaved two con-
certos, one in z fiat by Mozart and Griegs which
he seems TO have made his battIehorse These he
supplemented with solos calculated to display the
extremes OF his styles. OF these extremes the
most amiable seems TO US that which finds such

interpolated rninuet was played at bewiIdering
speed. but with coruscating briluancy and trans
parency. The same charming qualities shone, too.
IN the GrieS concerto, where. however, II was
paired with the opposite extreme OF harshness in
the loud passages. Indifference to the middle
tnts, OF color and nuance Is the one Disappointing
feature of NJ. Pusno's playing He is either purl-
ing, Whispering cooling, or else making all split.
His habit of playing with the printed page before
him also gives an impression Of want OF spon-
taneity. but this is only seeming. an Illusion ere
ated by habit N which concert goers have be
come confirmed. In spite Of it, NJ Pugno won
triumph last night which ranks among the finest
in local annals
Mr.. Walter Damrosch and his orchestra took
part IN the concert and added to its delights. not
only by good, if not finished, accompaniments to
the concertos. but also by independent numbers

IRVING PLACE THEATRE.

There have been crowded houses at the Irving

made noisy demonstrations of approval and Mr..
Conred has also received the congratulations of his
patrons for having furnished good and wholesome
entertainment But audience OF the season has
been 50 well entertained the one present last
night at the first performance in this country of
Alt Heidelberg and no play produced at the
Irving Place in several seasons possessed so many
elements OF popularity. Alt Heidelberg has mad
great success on the Berlin, Vienna, Leipslc and
other German stages. and deserves TO hold the
stage at the Irving Place Theatre for several weeks
The play is positively German. The scenes are
laid In an atmosphere which could not exist any
where save in Germany, and the witty dialogues
would become pointlcss and prosy if they were
translated. and stiH one needs to know HtEe Ger
