have ever heard this artist.
De Gorgoza spent several months

heard a young pianist, Robert Schmitz,
whose skill as accompanist and soloist

French school of composition and in
classic Beethoven's Sonata Apas-

scribed by Busoni, and other standard
numbers.
Two public recitals will be given by
De Gorgoza in this city on the dates,
December II and IS. These, being
Sunday afternoon affairs, will be held
at the Columbia theater. He will sing
