those without permits from crossing

The Paderewski Recital.

No event in the musical line has
ever created the enthusiasm in this city
and vicinity which the coming of Pad
erewslli has caused. This is not strange
as the same interest is shown every
where, and his visit to this country at
this time will surpass in every city his
former great triumphs. In New York
during the past week his reception
both on the occasion of the production
of his opera "Manru' and his first
piano recital was such as no artist
has received in years. OF his great sue
cess the New York Journal says:
'Maru,' the first and only opera
composed by the great Polish pianist,
Plderewski, had it's American premiere
at the Metropolitan opera house last
night.
"No single event in the programme
of the opera season has aroused so
much interest and curiosity, as is not
surprising, indeed, when one considers
that there is no single figure in the
musical world, not even Jean de ResZke
or Calve-probably the other two most
popular figures in the world of music
today-that has an equal attraction for
those who follow the musical cult in
this city.
"Alone and unaided by theatrical set
tings, costumes or scenery he has been
able to draw through his own magnetic
powers more American dollars than
any other single musician, and the
craze which started in his favor some
years ago has as yet shown no sign of
waning.
For this reason it was expected that
the announcement of his opera would
provoke unusual discussion, and the
management was alert enough TO gain
the advantage of his personal conec-
tion with the production through adj
vcrtising that he would supervise the
rehearsals. The expectations of the
management We're not disappointed in
respect to the audience.
after the opera crowds of fashion
ables, critics, mgsic lovers, and, best
of ALL friends of their own ilk, sur
rounded Paderewski, congratulating
and felcitatlng him, Mr.. Paderewski be-
hind the scenes, in the foyers, and in the
parterre and box of the James Speyers,
with whom the PaderewslSis had dined,
was handshaked talked-at, and lion
lied in all conceivable ways until he
was so wrought up that it was hours
before he could compose himself"
The diagram for the Pederewski re-
cltal in this city opens at PowelPs this
morning at 8 o'clock, checks to be
given out at 1880. The rush for seats
will probably be greater than for any
event ever given here. The great cap
acity of the armory, however, should
give all an opportunity to hear this
great artist.

CUP York State.N

OP 1oih StutS'
A most peculiar play is up York
State" produced at the I,yceum on Sat
urday by It's authors, David Higgins
and Georgia Waldron, and apparently
enjoyed by two large audiences. 1t Is
extremely hard to classify. One moment
it is delightful rural play, with a
vein OF pretty sentiment when heigh,
presto! in an instant it becomes Bow
cry melodrama with q heroine casting
her wedding jewels at the feet of her
recreant husband ana being pushed
over precipitous cliff by Il bad woman
who knew the william out west when he
was not Allen Woodford, 1.-The richest
man in town." but plain Jim Baxter.
The play hinges upon the fortunes
of Darius Green, inventor of o flying
machine and a good natured chap in
love with the heroine. The latter mar
ries the william because she thinks
Darius loves another girl and because
she wants to pay a debt she owes to
him (Darius). The william buys u por
ton of Darius farm for little or moth
ing because he believes there is
valuable deposit of marble on it. He
promoses to pay the debt which his
wife owes Darius on the wedding day
but when he learns after the ceremony
that he is expected to turn over the
farm he balks and refuses.
Then comes the jewel casting episode
when the beautiful heroine detieS him
to do his worst ana says that she will
never-r-r, no neNer-r-r, live with him.
1t turns out in the end that there was
no marble on the farm at all and that
the william has been fooled. He proves
to be Il western criminal and the cur
tain descends with Darius holding the
heroine's hands and promising to be
hers after she gets a divorce, certainly
a decidedly original climax.
Mr.. Higgins as Darius gave what has
come to be known as n natural per-
formance. He was quiet and unob-
trusive throughout and never let his
angry passions rise to a dangerous
height. The william was enacted by
Walter G. Horton, who was the exact
antithesis of everything that Mr.. Hig-
gins was. If there was any common
place mannerism of the stage, either of
voice or gesture, that he did not en-
ploy it was because he forgot to. He
was we'll dressed and the hair over
his temples was just beginning to turn
grey like every other proper stage vii
lian's. He haG most irresistible way
of STOPPING his shoulders and taking
long, majestic strides when he came
upon the stage.
One of the characters introduced by
Mr.. Higgins, that of Sarah Basset, the
maiden aunt of Darius who kept house
for him, was Il libel on the warm
hearted. Christian spirited farm wom-
Ell OF this country. 1t would be diff
cult to find such a mean, narrow
minded utterly selfish and mercenary
woman in our cities let alone among
the country people and farmer folks
of this country. The part was accept
IDLY played by Gabrielle Mexican.
Georgia Waldron, who enacted the
heroine, has a strength of emotional
power and the other characters were
in capable hands. The scenic effects
We're noticably good especially the
mountain road shown in the last act.
