FAMOUS RUSSIAN PIANIST
ENGAGED FOR A CONCERT

Arrangements have been completed
whereby Josef Lhevinne, the celebrated
Russian pianist. viii appear in a concert
in Salt Lake City on the evening of Mon
day, March q.
Lhevinne combines all the great quail
ties which made famous Anton Rubin
stein. a generation ago. In fact he is the
exact counterpart of the great Anton,
whom he resembles in his style his poetic
tone production and the dash Of his brav-
IRA.
Naturally there will be great interest
shown over the coming of Lhevinne, es-
pecially in the personality of the new vr-
tuOso, for personality counts for much in
the success on every artist. Reports say
that Lhevinne looks as if there was no
such thing in his make up as nerves He
is absolutely healthy. He has none of the
eccentTicities that for some reason or 9TH
er musicians are apt to indulge in to ex-
plot their personalities As for externals
he might be some successful business man
instead of a pianist. There has been no
struggling upward road in the life of
Lhevinne, neither has his life been a bed
of roses, but life of hard work encour-
aged at every turn, with his father guild
ing at one stage of his career, with the
great Rubinstein at another stage, and
lastly Safonoff that marvelously gifted
Russian conductor. during the last years
of his student days. Lhevinne is now 30
years of age and youth, health, power and
success are all his.

The Servant in the House

directly is the decay of Christianity in
the modern church, and ne makes an
appeal for a larger brotherhood He
has been able to succeed in his purpose
because of the dramatic force of the
story he has to present. The dramatic
material is concerned with three broth
ers, who meet after many years of sep
aration, all with conflicting purposes
and all with divided minds: a father
who is seeking his daughter, but with
holds his identity when he meets her;
wife who is dragging her aspiring
husband down to worldly level, and
husband who is struggling to free
himself from his lower nature Then

AT the end of the play the audience
