MAUD POWELL.
There is something splendid in
ellis recital on Monday evening. De-
cember 10, when she will draw her
bow at the Murray theater.
Maud Powell has never learned to
pose, or possibly she knows how. but
declines to work at 1t. She 10 70 ma
tural and unspoiled that cynical peo-
pie must instantly be disarmed. she
talks music with rare understanding.
but she discourses on q wide variety
Of topics equally as well. II IL treat
to meet a musician who gets out OF
the shop occasionally and that 10 why
all who come to know In private life
this really great violinist must be
predisposed in her favor from the
very outset.
Those who follow the trend Of musi-
cal affairs know that Maud Powell IL
the superior by many points OF any
American violinist Her work stands
for itself and has won the plaudits of
the most critical wherever she has
appeared. In England, continental Eu-
rope and her own country she has
been voted q great artist, and 1t IL
easy to understand why. Her methods
are absolutely devoid OF sensational
ism. She plays the violin as birds
sing. 1t is in her and whatever of cul-
tivation her art has been subjected to
has not turned her genius awry as so
commonly happens.
| 1t is interesting to note that the
| violin upon which she will play dates
| from 1775, when 1t was made by
Joannes Baptista Guadagnini In Tur.
in, Italy. 1t seems q safe prediction
that those who attend the concert will
discover that Maud Powell and her
| fiddle are a musical combination
worthy OF the highest consideration.
| She is an artist who need ask nc
concessions from the foremost mas
| ters of the time and withal a fine gen.
uine American woman who Ii doing
yoeman service in maintaining the
musical standard of her country.
Nine. POWELL will be assisted by
| Ualdemar Liachowsky. the German
pianist.
