THEODORE HUMAN CONCERT

The opportunity is not given ,|cala
very often to entertain a distinguish
ed artist, and when It became known
that Mr.. Theodore Human Of Boston,
who is wintering in Florida, would
give a concert in the city everyone
was delighted. Last night at the ar
mory he was greeted by a large au-
dience, composed principally of
Ocala's best musicians and most prom
inent citizens, and everyone was per
fectly delighted with the playing Of
this celebrated violin virtuoso.
Mr.. Human is an Hungarian, and
his playing is said to be very marked
ly similar to that of Ysaye of Hun
gary who is the worlds greatest vio-
linist. The program was composed
principally of the wonderful descrip-
tive music of Hungary, and Mr.. HUI
mans Interpretation of the weird
and fantastic music of his native land
was wonderful He is full of temper
ament, and plays with great breadth
and feeling. His violin responds to
ais every thought and in the mao
scene fTom the Hungarian opera,
Bank Ban the music was so human
that one could almost feel the break
ing down of the mind. In spite Of it's
weirdness this Scene Dilarante," was
full of the most exquisite music, and
the artist played it divinely.
Zigennerweisen, Mr.. Humans sec
ond selection, was beautifully melo-
iious, and by many was regarded as
the sweetest of the program. Each
number had its own particular charm
and never has an Ocala audience been
more pleased.
Mir. human is a finished artist, and
is away and above any musician that
has ever before played in Ocala. For
some years ne played with the Bos-
ton Symphony Orchestra, which
speaks for itself.
Miss Byrd hartmann accompanied
the violinist, and the piano for the
evening was loaned by the Ocala Ban
ner, the piano being the one they are
to give away tomorrow in the cooper
ative piano contest.
Miss Wartmann is a splendid plan
iSt, and her Accomplishments for Mr..
Human were remarkably fine, and she
haired to a great degree the compli-
ments bestowed on Mr.. Human. She
also played for Miss Tolmie, who
sang two numbers most delightfully."-.
She sang at the concert on Friday
night and those who heard her then
were greatly pleased to have the OPP
of hearing her again. She
mas a clear, bird-like voice, and the
songs she sang last night suited her
well.
