Music


SNahlhAhN
From an artistic standpoint at least, the
recital given at Boyd's theater last evening
by Stanislav Letovsky was a distinct and
unqualified success. 1t was, in the first
place, an event Of prime local Importance,
as it was the occasion Of the young mans
first public appearance since his return
from abroad, where he has received such
recognition as rarely falls to the lot of one
upon whose shoulders the burden OF years
so lightly rests.
It would seem that the people of Omaha
would manifest sufficient interest at least
to attend a recital given by one OF their
own fellow citizens, who has, at the age
Of nineteen years, won for himself a posi-
ton as conductor in one Of Germany's
we'll known opera houses. Those who did
attend, however, had the satisfaction OF
hearing works of undoubted genius inter-
preted for them by the author himself.
The sonata with which the program be-
gan is a strong and vigorous work in four
movements, which are well proportional
and contrasted, dramatically interesting
and original to a degree nothing short OF
astonishing. and full OF daring, though ef-
| fective harmonic combinations, There is
nothing reminiscent OF the pupil in young
| Letovsky's work. His themes are strong
and big with meaning, and are developed
with a security which tells of the hand Of
the practiced master. The sonata was re-
ceived by the audience with much favor
and was followed by a group Of numbers
by Chopin and Liszt-a nocturne and
~polonaise by the former, and an orange
ment of Paganlni etude by the Weimar
master.
While Mr.. Letovsky has not made the
acquisition Of an all-encompassing plan
technique, the chief end and aim Of his
musical career, he yet disposes over a real
v%irtuoso mechnicaI equipment. Above and
beyond that he possesses styl Of playine
which pulsates with warmth and color
everflows with temperament, and Vibrates
with almost primitive strength. His treat
ment Of the piano is entirely orchestral IN
it's style, some of his climaxes reaching
extraordinary limits of strength. His
playing of Chopin's A flat major polonais'
was remarkable for II display Of breadth
and bravOura.
A group Of smaller numbers from Mr.
Letovsky's pen which followed later gave
some conception OF the opulence OF musica
ideas with which the young man is endowed
His "Rhapsodie Slave Is a brilliant and
effective piano number, sctntillatlnB VIII
color, and decidedly Bohemian In character
This element of nationalism, by the way, 1
noticeable TO a greater or lesser degree II
all his compositions, and gives them
peculiarly piquant flavor. Tho "Valse In

music in dance form, was followed b!

Judge Baird is Sustained by the

the Suit.

In sustaining the decision OF William
Baird, referee in the controversy between
the Bennett and the Baum interests Judge
Estelle declared that the amendment of the
Incorporation by the Baum controlling in
terests did not legally chang the capital
ization.
The court also held that the certificate
OF stock which was rendered by tho Baums
to r. s. Hall as trustee for the Benefits
indicated upon its face that It was a
SIC, 900 interest in a company capitalized
at $50, 900. while in fact the capitalization at
that time had been raised to 5000, 900. The
sustaining Of the referee reduces the com
pany's stock to $50, 1000.
