ality and godlike Chopin playing will in
all probability be with our musical pub
lie for the Vast time when he makes his
farewell tour in this country newt sea-
son. Recent accounts from London re-
port that time does not seem to stale in
the slightest degree either the inimitable
art of De Pachmann or the infinite vari-
ETY. of his unique antics on the stage.
It has been often said that the familiar
whimsicalities of the great Russian
pianist are assumed merely for stage use,
but story just reported from London
proves conclusively that De Pachmann's
merry humor-although in this instance
delightfully."- malicious-is by no means
excluded from his private life.
The tale runs that De Pachmann and
Goldmark the famous opera composer,
met in front of the latter's Vienna home
a short time ago. Goldmark Is most
estimable old gentleman and writer of
exceptionally brilliant and melodious
music, but his one great fault is most
overwhelming conceit trait which often
gives his friends occasion for much mer-
riment at his expense. AS De Pachmann
and Goldmark walked away from the
composers house the pianist pointed
backward over his shoulder and said:
"That modest little edifice will be signally
distinguished some day after you are
dead" Indeed" murmured Goldmark,
blushing with pleasure. "Yes," continued
De Pachmann, "they will decorate 1t with
a tablet" "And, pray, what do you sup
pose they will say on the tablet after l
am dead?" asked the composer eagerly.
'.To let" was De Pachmann's pithy re-
| ply, as u6 oCQbSiSA oSAS SA-S ~N-Ac
