HOFFMAN STIRS BIG
AUDIENCE AT COLLEGE
MasterfuI Performance at Aueustana
Chapel by Young
Pianist.

An audience which filled Augustana
college music hall assembled there last
evening to listen to the piano recital
| by Josef Holman. The audience was
rewarded for its coming by having Of
fered it some of the finest piano play
| ing that has ever been heard in Rock
| Island. Mr.. Holman was in the best
of moods. and his presentation of the
| Chopin and List music which conSti-
| tuted the program was technically and
interpretatively in the highest degree
mastery. The young pianist seems To
have broadencd and matured in his
art. His playing had in it a poetic
depth and a dramatic intensity which
never before had been noted in similar
degree in his work.
His climaXes, although partaking Oc-
casionally of an excess which spoke of
youth. were nevertheless of the au-
thoritative quality OF mature manhood.
And the gcntler, more lyric passages in
the compositions played were read
with a sentiment and tenderness
which while always virile. were of con
vincing sincerity and unfailing appeal
1t was as though the nature of the play
er had undergone of those subtle but
none the less potent indictments which
follow an unusual experience. or in
some instances come suddenly as
progressive stage in the course of the
normal maturing and developing of in
herent powers.
Whatever may have been the cause,
Josef Hoffman certainly doomed bigger
in the piano world during this recital
than he ever had before. And it was
not because of the marvellous technical
supremacy of which he proved himself
the pOssessor. That side of his equip
ment has long compelled approval and
awakened admiration. This time the
superiority was due to something high
er and finer The spirit Of the player
had deepened. and his reading of
Chopin was that of the poet who, strong
in his manliness and blessed with clear.
true, artistic vision. was richly endow-
ed with sentiment. sympathy, and fine
poetic imagination.
1t was such Chopin as is but rarely
heard-sweetly sane Enthusiastically vir-
lie. the utterancc of one who was at
once a poet and a man The List Sc
lections were also glorified and beauti-
fed by this increased interpretativc
power of the player Such technical
display as the five numbers brought is
but rarely met with even in this day
OF technical wonders. but the inter
prefer stood above the technician and
the result was a performance of each
of the compositions authoritative, mas
teTly. complete. The audience was not
oblivious TO what was being offered
and approval was generous and hearty.

romancy episode in the fourth act. 1t
is then that the shrewd Romany rogue
returned from his vagabond-like wan
behring's along the highway, attempts
TO brighten the superstitious and miser-
" old seigneur Oord of the domain
upon which he has toiled as a reaper)
into consent to the marriage of the
rich old misCr'S only daughter to the
gipsy's son. To do this he uses a sub
terfuge of his supposed magic power,
and the manner in which-aided by a
timely thunderstorm-he manages to
hOOdwink and terrerize the provincial
magnate is one of the most picturesque
and peculiar scenes of the entire play.
This incident is treated by Mr.. Skinner
with all the finesse and resources of
his versatile art, and is said to be as
strikingly original a footlight novelty
in its fantastic humor as the celebrated
man from the moon episode in "Cyrano
de Bergerac." Mr.. Skinner was told
by NJ. Richepin. while visiting him at
his home near Paris this summer, that
the gypsy lamentations used I'm the play

but George Morrow, in his master work

study of this magic rhyme-making. NJ.
Richepin gave Mr.. Skinner a vivid
idea of the characteristic manner in
which these incantatiOns are done by
the modern French gypsy, and Mr..
Skinner elaborated his own humorous
portrayal upon these lines-although in
the play the gypsy rover is not quite
