The KOtler Concert.

Skowhegan Is not likely TO enjoy for
many a day a musical entertainment
equal in pleasure aud interest to that
given at the Bethany Baptist Church,
last Tuesday evening, under the auspices
of the Young Peoples Christian En-
deayor Society Over $50 people were
in attendance, filling practically every
available seat, and In addition to those
Within the building the mild summer
evening with the open doors and win
dows of the church called together an
audience of from one to two hundred
people who gathered on the lawn, and
in teams ON Madison avenue, remaining
until the close OF the last number on the
program.
Fortunate circumstances permitted a
union of local and foreign talent and
gave Skowhegan such musical treat as
we are very sure has fallen to the lot of
no other New England Town during the
present summer. Mr.. Donald Morrison,
Miss Margery Morrison and Miss Dora
c. Traitor have appeared before Show
hogan audiences on various occasions in
recent years and we have come to ex-
pect of them just the delightful excel
lence with which they performed their
part in the program of Tuesday evening.
Miss Alice NJ. Delano daughter of r. E..
Delano of Rockland, Mass, has been the
guest of her uncle, E X. Delano for
several weeks and this was the first oc-
casion on which she has been heard by
any considerable number of Skowhe.
gan people. 1t was happy fortune
that permitted the management to add
her accomplishments to the program
and those present will be pleased to
welcome her here again.
Mr.. William Small, Miss Elizabeth
Chaskin and Master Samme Koter are
pupils of Herwegh Won Ende at the
American Institute of Applied Music in
New York City, Through his acquaint-
ance with Donald Morrison Mr.. Won
Ende and his wife were led to pass the
summer at Hayden Lake and he was
SO charmed with the locality that he
sent for his three most distinguished
pupils, out of large class In his care,
to jim him here for the season. The
Y. P. S. c of the Bethany Church,
of which Mrs. G. R. Fogg is president
made all arrangements for the concert
with Mr.. Won Ende and their share of
the proceeds is ately S42.
Skowhegan is very proud of It's own
musical artists and fully appreciates the
part taken by Miss Delano, the soprano,
but we are very sure that artists and au-
dience alike will forgive Mr.. Won Ende
for bringing forward Master Samme
Kotler as the star of the evening. HIS
playing was certainly marvellous.
Skowhegan people have never before
heard a youth of his years who was
such master of the violin. When this
young man is famous through two con-
tinents, as he must soon become If he is
spared his health and strength, those
present on Tuesday evening will be
proud to relate tn It they heard him at
Bethany Church on the last evening in
July 1905 when he had just passed his
tenth birthday. 1t is to be hoped that
among the greater events in which he
will appear in future years Samme will
not entirely forget his appearance here
as among his early triumphs
We are informed that Mr.. Won Ende
is TO take his three young pupils with
Mr.. Donald Morrison and Miss Mar
gerry Morrison with him to give a con.
cert at Bar Harbor in the early future
and that there is a possibility that the
same artists may appear in other New
England towns and cities during the
next few weeks. The following is the
