WIZARD OF THE VIOLIN
His Either and Piano Renditions
Also Show Great
Technique.

"A rare treat in a musical way was
that enjoyed by fair sized audience
last night at the Augustana college
chapel, the concert given there by Ole
Iheobaldi. the famous Norwegian vio-
liRist. While he is one of the artists
of his age on the violin, he more than
electrified the audience by his pro-
ficiency on the either and piano.
Those present heard a either play
ed as they probably never heard it
played before and the feeling and
shading that Theobaldi impaired to
his renditions on it were wonderful.
He fairly lifted the audience with his
climaNes and the applause was enthu-
siastic in the extreme. His either solo
was encored three times, and on the
third he responded with piano Sc
lection. Here again his technique and
execution were astonishing
On the violin, however, he is with
out doubt a master Not only has he
full grasp of the technical intricacies
of his instrument. but his coloring
and feeling impart other aspects to
his interpretations which are harder
to classify, but which none the less
add greatly to the enjoyment

The humorous plumbers and en-
barrassments of Dan Maloney's court
ship with the Widow Clancy has
stirred up much healthy laughter.
The author truthfully claims that it
was written for laughing purposes
only, and since its birth has been the
source of exhaustless fun to count
less thousands. Wherever it appears
crowded houses greet it and relish
it's three hours of enjoyment. 1t
brims with merry mischief, tells
story of deep interest, and revels in
much real mirth. James l.. McCabe

William Owen and large company
including J. w. Mcconnell, will be
seen at the Illinois Friday, April "a,
i'm a production of the famous Eng
lish comedy The School for Sean
DIAL" Since it's first production in
1777 the comedy has been recognized
as the most brilliant ever written
and each successive season has de-
manded revival of it. \ comedy
that can live over 100 years and still
be in demand is like a good wine-it
needs no brush. There is something
in its very title that is suggestive of
spicy wit-stirring satire and anus
ing situations. It's gorgeous Gus
tuned danes and proud gallants of

in, forming Il pleasing eye feast which
is accentuated by the gorgeous seen
cry, furniture and draperies of the
sixteenth century period in which the
comedy transpires.
