| style have matured, invite favorable
comparison with the work of such art

Ohe, is probably the opinion of every
one who heard the young artist play
| yesterday afternoon at the Odeon.
| Miss Sherman interpreted a pro-
1 gramme of exceptional merit so bril-
| liantly and in such pronouncedly in
| dividual fashion that those who lis
| tened to it will not be apt to forget
| that she represents a potentiality in
! the music world Hers is a most in
| teresting personality. Her appearance
| at the piano as we'll as the music she
| plays betrays this. The indefnable
| charm of womanliness softenS a coun
| tenance that would otherwise reveal a
too severe intellectually and the i'm
preston grows, as one listens to Miss
Sherman's playing, that the charm will
! become more pronounced as the MAY
er'S years increase. For, while it is
most apparent that the pianist has
worked very hard to acquire the tech
! nical equipment she possesses, it is
also apparent that her labor has not
] been for the sake of technique, but for
the purpose of giving expression to the
music that is in herself. 1t is because
| she impresses this fact upon her au
| dience that the prophecy of brilliant
| future seems permissible.
Like all musicians who have that in
| them that is worth expression Miss
Sherman became less and less hamper
| ed by the consciousness of an audi
ence as the programme progressed. 1t
was not that at any time she forgot
her hearers-the player has not yet at
! tanned that height-but the knowledge
that she was carrying them with her,
/ freed her from the restraint which
critical stranger or gathering of crit
| 1cal strangers is bound to impose on a
| performer not fully matured in her art.
1 Still the Schumann number, "Davids
| bundler tanze" COP. g., which was the
second on the programme, was inter-
preted with great freedom. That the
player was thoroughly en- rapport with
the delicate fancies of the composer
was delightfully."- evidenced in her read
| ing of the composition as well as in the
brief exposition she gave, before she
| played, of its intent.
| The strength of wrist and hand that
| one was not always sure, throughout
| the reading of her programme, that
she possessed was demonstrated in the
! Chopin WARSAW" study, and again in
the Mendelssohn numbers at the close
of the programme The study, by the
way, was most Understandings inter
| preted as was also the Chopin noe
| turne. 1t is a question, however,
| enjoyment from the nocturne than
from the pianist's quaint characterize
1 ton of the composers conceit which
| preceded it. Heller's exquisite cradle
song was played with great tender
ness; Roy Lamont Smiths Meadow
Lark, with the appreciation of a poet;
the Weiss valse, brilliantly and we'll.
The musicale was the first of the
Schubert clubs regular afternoon pro-
| Qr9nmQS In SnitQ of the 6iS9 orTnn1 HE
weather it was we'll attended.
De Wolf Hopper will be seem at the
| Metropolitan tonight in his famous
| comic opera character, Wang, sup
ported by a cast including Marguerite
| Clark as Mataya, Ada Deaves as the
| Widow Frimousse, Frank Belcher as
F. A. Bishop as Lieut.. Boucher and
| Frank Casey as Pepat. Besides the
! cast of principals there are fifty
! others in the company. All the scenery
| and general properties will be intact;
| In fact the management promises the
! exact production that made Wang
| flourish at the Lyric theater in New
York for nearly three months.
"Vivian's Papas,'' in which Rich and
| Harris are to present Blanche Ring
| at the Metropolitan theater for four
nights and Wednesday matinee, open
| ing Sunday evening, is an original
American farcical comedy, written by
Leo Ditrichstein, author of Are You
Mason?" "All on Account of Eliza" and
many other plays. Miss Ring will i'm
personate Vivian, a fascinating and
| trouble making show girl, and Incl
dentally will sing "Bedelia'' and other
popular songs she has made famous.
When who's Brown?' is explained
at the Metropolitan next Thursday
evening company of capable players
will assist in the explanation. Among
the coterie are William Morris, Harry
Mills, William Morrow, f. Owen Bax-
ter Miss Sadie Stringham, Miss Edith
Hinlxle and Miss Lillian Maynard.
In spite of the bad weather of yes
terday the Grand had two large au-
diences to witness ACROSS the Pa
eific." The many comedy features,
startling situations and the big battle
scene were enthusiastically received,
Blaney and Kittie Wolfe roundly APP
plauded.
Miss Rose Melville will be seen again
this season at the Grand for the week
commencing with next Sundays matt
nee in her comedy OF INDIANA rural
| life, isis Hopkins The play has been
given an entirely new production this
season by her manager, j. r. Stirling
A feature of the concerts by the
Grenadier Guards band is the excel
lence of the music in their programmes,
and one item of special interest will be
a selection from the music of Grieg,
the famous Scandinavian composer.
Lieut.. Albert Williams, of the Grena-
der guards had an intimate acquaint-
ance with Grieg and is very fond of his
music. and he made this further selec-
ton to the programme out of compli--
ment to the numerous Scandinavian
citizens resident in the United States.
Another item of interest is the great
military overture, 1872" by Tschai-
kowsky. This depicts Napoleons re-
treat from MOSCOW, and the finale,
which gives the effect of all the chimes
in Moscow ringing out in joy over the
emperor's defeat, is grand.
The Grenadier guards appear at the
Peoples church on the afternoon and
evening of Monday, Oct. "a.
Hwin's big show at the Star is giving
a clean performance and despite the
inclement weather plays to large
houses. The musical turns are good
and the comedy fair. Ladies matinee
tomorrow.
