THE CONCERT.
At the evening c oncert in Murrel
auditorium there was large audi
ence of young ladies from the two
colleges, cadets, women who like
music because they can't help it,
women who like music because they
should and the men that came with
them. Everyone present enjoyed the
program exceedingly and it is one
that will be remembered for years to
come. The magnificent, clear and
musicianly way in which Mr.. Sher-
wood handled the piano and the clear
tones, artistic bowinS and marvellous
lingering of Mr.. Marcosson brought
forth round after round of applause.
The most inspiring of Mr.. Sher-
woods numbers was the Schubert
Tausig Marche Militaire. He gave
this piece with most minute attention
to the musical details and yet with a
vim and dash that made people feel
like shouting Bravo Liszt's
Twelfth Rhapsodie was another fa-
miliar number played in way that
was a revelation to those who had
never heard it except as executed by
a school girl OF a pianola. Mr..
Sherwood gave it with no apparent
effort. Every tone in the most in
tricate of its runs was clean and
distinct: the time was perfect, the
effects in expression beautiful. Out
side of these two, the two MacDowell
numbers probably pleased the most.
! Mr.. Marcosson, since he is more
romantic as to appearance, appealed
more strongly to the young ladies,
and there is no doubt that he de-
served all of the adulation he re
ceived. The Dvorak "Humoresque'
received such applause that part o.
it had to be repeated. As an encore
to his group he played Schumann''
Traumerei, using the mute.
: The two artists played exceedingly ly
we'll together and neither tried to e
clipse the other, which demonstrated
that thew we're musicians as well a
artists
