the world these beautiful instruments,
and his collection is now one Of the
finest extant. His library of rare old
manuscripts is the greatest in the world,
pertaining to the music of the fifteenth,
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
His collection of instruments has been
collected with the same enthusiasm and
care that compelled the collection of
the rare music manuscripts. In his col
lection Of instruments Mr.. Dolmetsch
has a Venetian lutte, a Treble viol, the
viola 'amore and the viola detGamba,
instruments that the modern musician
has never seen, and if he knows any
thing Of them, the knows of them thru,
in most cases, the mention that Shaks-
pere makes Of them in his plays.
Arnold Dolmetsch, Mabel Dolmetsch
and Kathleen Salmon, using the instru-
ments named and singing and playing
the music of the Renaissance, will
charm, thrill with the simplicity Of art,
while educating the music lover. Their
appearance in Minneapolis has been ar
ranged for Wednesday evening, Feb. Ia,
at the Plymouth church. The tickets
will be on sale at the Metropolitan mu-
sic store, Feb. ii.

Her audience found her playing a
surprise and delight and followed with
sympathy one tone picture after an
other. Madame Strom-Smith gave with
much color and forge Olsen's "Fani-

The two numbers, "Kivlemojerne, -

rare sympathy. AS an introduction to
:" Siklebekken' she recited her own
translation of a Morse poem on the life

Tellefsen 8 Huldreslaat, (Song of
the Mountain Siren), and before the
final number, Trolstag," by Grieg,
she described a scene on the ocean,
illuminated by the midnight sun, viewed
from one of the Lofoden islands. This
number was repeated by request.

both good and inexpensive volumes,
covering art in general, monographs of
