Nine. Eames Next Week.

Some men are born great So are
some women, and Of such is Nine.
Emma Eames, who, with her own con-
cert company, is to be heard at the Au-
ditorium Monday evening, Nov. 6.
SO is it true of Nine. Eames. Born in
Shanghai, China, brought to the state
Of Maine in her infancy, educated
there, with other boys and girls, such
a thing as her present achievements be-
ing absolutely unthought of, she has
literally achieved greatness.
AS a child, the, great diva with the
glorious voice, the sweetly dignifed
carriage, the queenly form, and the
womanly grace and beauty, was full of
the JOY Of life. She played and romped
as any healthy. child would, and many
stories are told, in these days of her
greatness when anecdotes of the favored
of the gods are almost priceless, at
which she and her friends have had

cure set she had brought from China.
With these instruments she was accus-
toned to trim her nails and polish them
on all occasions. At this time she took
a caprice to wear her nails pointed.
When demonstrated with for 50 doing,
she replied, II was born in China, and
the least L can Go is TO wear my nails
pointed in honor of my native conn-
try Stories innumerable are told Of
her schoolgirl days, and they all bear
witness to, her iollity, good nature and
camaraderie, as well as to the habits of
perseverance, and work which charac-
terized her in later life, and all helped
her to the place which nature had de-
signed for her.

Harold Bauer's Success.

No pianist Of recent years has so
surely and completely grown into popu-
lar favor and won the applause Of dis
corning critics as Harold Bauer. His
work has stamped him as an artist OF
the first rank, man in whom are COM
bined all the characteristics essential
to the real virtuosO.
Educated under the direct observa-
protege of Paderewski himself, he has
secured the technique which is essential
to the artist. There is nothing in the
realm Of music which he cannot only
play, but can play with consummate
ease and mastery. His runs, octaves
and arpeg,gio are fawless, as are his
trills and other forms of musical ex-
preston. Further than this, he has,
thru the instinct of the music-born soul,
learned to call from the instrument that
psychic response without which all IN
terpretation is useless. His caresssing
sighs of feeling. Or, surcharged with
emotion, the instrument vibrates with
mighty throes of power and passion.
Endowed from his very birth with
musical intelligence and feeling, he goes
right thru to the essence Of the work to
be played and, instinct with emotion
and clothed with perfect technical in.

set for Dec. 10, in the Auditorium, and
will be one Of the notable events OF
the season. She will appear with a
splendid company Of six artists, most
Of them of international reputation.
Realizing that the public Identifies her
SO closely with the character of Carmen,
Nine. Calve will appear in costume and
sing selections from the opera, treat
which will be enjoyed alike by those
who have had the opportunity Of hear
ing her in the great role, and those who
have always desired to do so, but were
prevented.
While the great singer is recognized
as the ideal Carmen, it must not be sup
posed that that is her only role. In
deed her ability as an actress is so
great, and her talents as a singer. SO
brilliant that she has achieved great
successes in a large number Of other
roles. Chef of these are Media and
Marguerite, the latter being an es-
pecial favorite. That she can assume
two such opposite characters as Carmen
and Marguerite, and be brilliantly sue
cessful in both, speaks volumes for her
versatility both histrionically and must
cally.
