Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-12-08
PROF DERWIy GONG
Wm Teach at Hoichkiss, Talt and
 Si Margarei's in This City.

Dy Fr0feS6Or J. J. OerWin ana tne other members of the faculty of the Derwin Banjo. Mandolin and Guitar school, assisted by Miss Bessie May Goodwin. soprano. Leslie E, Vaughan violinist, Myron A. Bick- ford, napdolinist and the Derwin Mandolin orchestra was the farewell appearance of the musician in this city. as an instructor, Mir Derwin has received a lucrative offer from out of town parties and for the remainder of the school year the greater part of his time will be given to Hotchkiss school at Lakeville, Taft at Water town, and St Margaret's in this city. He will continue to instruct few of his advanced pupils in Waterbury. Professor Derwin has been an in- structor in Waterbury for the past fifteen years and has built up an ex- cellent reputation.
 Beginning with only a few pupils whom he instructed in the evening his teaching was of the kind that at- tracted attention until now he has So large a number that he has a couple of assistants to aid him in his work. Mir Derwin was the first who really made string music in this city popu- lar.
 His recital last evening was one of the best heard in this city in . long time and 1t is to be regretted thnt he had not a hall larger than the one in the Friendly league building. The place was crowded and those present were certainly repaid for attending even though the night was cold.
 Although the artists were all ap- preciated, Leslie Vaughan of Bridge port, who has hfs studio with Mir Derwin, perhaps found the most fla vor because of his rendltions on the violin. His Romance" from Papini and his Gypsy Dance" from Nachez showed the musician at hts best. His technique was splendid and his num- bers were so zealously given that they could not fall to merit admira- tion.
 Myron A. Bickford, president of the Guild of Banjolsts, Mandolinlsts and Guitarists rendered a mandolin solo, "Old Folks at Home," with orchestral accompaniment. It was transcrip- tion by Rickford and 1t was exQui- sitely played. Needless to say that the numbers of Miss Bessie May Goodwin were relished by the audi ence. Her first "All For You" show ed her rich soprano voice to excellent advantage, while "Silyer Ring and Forget Me Not" as sang by Miss Goodwin, also added to her reprta- ton. Miss Goodwin was obliged to respond to encores. Mir Derwin's as sistants. Miss Lauretta Mulligan and Daniel BIansheld. the former with the guitar and mandolin and the latter with the mandolin, were up fo the standard of the other numbers and well deserved the applauce re- ceived.
 "Massa's in the Cold. Cold Ground" was the title of Mir Derwin's banjo solo, and with the accompaniment of the orchestra the selection was really delightful. As a banjoist Mir Dcrwin has very few superi0rs In the coun- try. The last number on the program was a selection by the orchestra, a fitting finale. to one of the treats of the season in the musical line.
