rsrector of the Musical Art Society. Il
The Otto Meyer concert, given under
the auspices of the Musical Art So
ciety at the Towle theater last night
was a splendid success from an artistic
point of view.
Musical Hammond was there, and
showed its keen appreciation OF the
program in general
Mr.. Otto Meyer chose to make MS
bow to a Hammond audience by giving
for his opening number the Vieuxtemps
Concerto, which gave one through
insight as to his musical seriousness,
and at once proclaimed him to be the
artist which the eastern papers have
claimed for him.
Miss Marie Meyer supplied the piano
numbers, and presented beautiful pic
t,ra az the piano with her mass of
golden hair and her sweet face. Her
work was artistic in every sense OF
the word. Her tone values were al
ways well measured and her reditlon
of each of her numbers was salts
factory in the extreme. Her toucn seem
ed firm and sure at all times, and the
technique was admirable from stu
dent standpoint. Her selections were
serious. rather than perilous, and the
future holds much of promise IN store
for this young pianist The serenade'
Schubert -Remenyi and the Faust Fan
tasttc Weiniowskf, were received IN
hearty manner by his highly pleased
| audience, and the Dvorak Humoresque
was beautifully done with full beau
| tiful Iegota, whihc could hardly have
| been improved upon.
Mr.. Alexander Russell gave splen-
aid account of himself at the piano
and was a very material help to MI
Meyer's success. We understand MT
Russell has but recently returned from
Berlin. where he has given some years
to the study of the piano, and has al
ready had muh success as g soloist
We sincerely hope to have the pleasure
of hearing these thoroughly interest
ing and sterling young artists again
and can bespeak for their more gen
erous support.
