MISUNDERSTANDING Rins. N
Was Musical Treat.

Only once In n long while do the
musc-lovers of Richmond have the op.
portunity to enjoy such a trent rs was
given them last evening when the Adams
oWsN Trio, of Boston, was heard at the
Academy. Of Music. In point of attend.
ance the occasion was an emphatic stic-
cess. Not only were most Of tho orclles.
ira chairs occupied, but the balcony and
gallery boxes were filled with an
audience that fully euualed In brl-
liancy any seen In tho Academy this
season. This exceptionally large attend
ance ought to be n source Of great on
couragement to those who have at heart
the advancement of Richmond's musical
tastes, and great credit Is due the Cable
Company and the Richmond Howitzers,
to whose untIring efforts the success OF 4
the entertainment was in n large measure
due. AZ
The program selected was varied
enough to suit the popular, as we'll as
the most fastidious musical taste. and
embraced selections from the works Of
Mozart, Chopin. Rlibinstein. Paderewski,
Goldmark and the like Nine. Antoinette
Szumowska, the pianist, Is by no tneana
q stranger In Richmond, having ap-S.
peured here on several former occasions
in concert. and established herself q
prime favorite. She s one OF the most
distinguished of women pianists living,
and her brilliancy OF execution and Won
derful technique last evening won for
her veritable ovation. She was heard
in three numbers Ronanza, by Mo-
Fart; Chopin's Impromptu F sharp major,
and Rubinstein's yase Caprice. To the
insistent demands OF the audience she
graciously responded with on encore
number that demonstrated her mastery
of tho instrument. Her two brothers,
Messrs. II. and ]. Adamowski. both mr.
/ fists Of national reputation and soloists.
of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the;
one on the violin. the other on the cello
shared with the pianist the honors OF
| the evening. The former was heard in a
| charming melody by Paderewski ~
Razzni's Ronde des Lutins, accompanied
on the piano by his brother. and the
| last number evoked a. spontaneous out
| burst OF applause that forced him to- res
spond with a charming little encore
number. Mr.. J. Adamowski rendered q
Berceuse. by Simon, and Peppers Hun
1 garan Rhapsody. Both numbers were
/ faultlessly executed and enthusiastically
received. Tho opening and closing nuns
bers of the program were rendered BY
4 all three artists. and consisted of q trio
! by Tschaikowsky and an andante and
scherso movement for trio by Goldmark.
At the Bijou.
The applause and cheers by the large
audience at the Bijou last evening
i almost equalcd in volume and fire.
Iquency the reports from the rapid-hro
guns used in the play, and the new
Rlaney production was voted even bet
1 ter than Across the Pacific
Mr. Blaney can turn out as many
war plays as Clyde Fitch can society
dramas, and his latest effort Is the best
yet from his pen. Harry Clay Blaney
himself Is in the cast as Willie Live,
and strengthened the claim OF his ad-
mirers to being the most popular hero
Of melodrama that appears at the
Bijou. Kitty Wolfe, another Richmond
favorite. appears In the cast. ano
j shares honors with the star. The rest
of the company are competent and
fully able to do the work assigneS
I them. Fifteen Japanese soldiers ar
& carried to lend realism, and give 70
markable exhibition OF military tao
tics. including the scaling OF q fifteen
foot wall Eight Geishsl girls are ais
with the company, and execute somt
graceful numbers. Two or three rapid
/ fire guns furnish enough noise for
Fourth Of July celebration, and make
life miserable for tho nervously con
stituted auditors, about the only elias!
to whom the play does not appeal
The production, all things considered
Fl is the attraction par excellence OF tn!

premium at every performance.
