SPLENDID MUSICAL EVENT
MISS Kober and DR.. Schussler Abund-
antly Entertained Mitchell
Citizens.
Anticipations in a musical line
were high for the concert given by
Miss Georgia Kober and Dr.. Hugh
Schussler, of Chicago, Thursday eve
ming at the opera house, and We are
pleased to say that these two cultur-
ed musicians realized in the fullest
sense all that had been said for
them. Such piano music as Miss
Kober gave us, and such singing as
we listened to from the voice of DR..
Schussler is indeed IN inspiration to
the student of music in either
branch.
The attendance at the concert was
very satisfactory indeed, and the
people gathered there showed a keen
and hearty appreciation Of the
ability of the two artists. The
music given by both was of a char
acter that would interest a general
audience, although the classical was
not lost sight of by either, and
several selections we're given.
Miss Kober opened the program
with a march selection by Hollander
that had some beautiful passages in
it and it was given with that move
ment Of grace and that inspiration
which touches and arouses ones love
for music Miss Koter showed a
distinct and pronounced ability for
the production OF a waltz number
and in her rendition Of Moskowski's
Waltz in E it was given with a dash
and vigor that lent a brilliant charm
to it. Two other selections "A la
bein Aimee" by Schuett, and
"March M%ilitaire," by Strauss
Tausig, brought out some excellent
work on the part of the accomplished
pianiste. In the latter she showed a
wonderful power and a technique
that comes from diligent practice
and talent. She plays her music
with an Interpretation of the genius
!, and with that sympathetic touch
that makes an audience en- rapport.
1t is the musician that touches the
heart of a person whose art reaches
the highest pinnacle and Miss Kobe1
: is not failing in this. The closing
, selection was played by Miss Kobe1
