~ LADIMIR DE PACHMANN, the
" great piano virtuoso, will be heard
in concert at Simpson auditorium
on Monday evening. January 30. De
Pachmann is considered by many to
be the greatest pianist living, and he
stands second to Paderewsk in the
minds of many musical critics
De Pachmann is one of the few plan
lists who understand Chopin's mazur-
kas, and under his magic fingers they
become sources of purest and most
spontaneous musical delight. De Pach-
mann not only interests an audience,
but he faScinates it. He has not been
heard in this country since the season
of 1899 1900 because the ocean voyage
is a very serious ordeal for him. He
has been touring Europe constantly,
and last year spent the entire season
In England.
Only a few concerts are scheduled on
the Pacific coast for De Pachmann, as
he has so many engagements in the
east, and we are indeed fortunate,
through the earnest efforts of Manager
Behymer. to be able to secure him for
one concert. Reserved seats are on
sale at the Union Pacific ticket office.
