There was a lamentably small au-
dience out to hear Pepito Arriola, the
boy pianist, at the Gale theatre We'd
nesday evening, the reason, in all
probability being because of the brief
announcement made of his coming.
The young boy played a program
which was equal to that in dignity
of a much more mature performer
on the piano, and he played the num-
Der with the same ability, concep-
ton and force of one who has been
playing for a lifetime. All his num-
bers were of the classical order, an6
included a Sonata by Beethoven,
with three movements, a triple
number by Chopin, Noctune in B ma
jor, Preludes, with four movements,
a Prelude by Rachmaninoff, and two
numbers by Schuman and List. Not
withstanding the small audience the
lad played his program through with
a vigor and spirit which indicated
that he was oblivious to the number
Of people out beyond the footlights.
He is certainly a remarkable player
for a boy OF his years, and the fu-
ture holds a fine outlook for him in
the musical world.
The Blue Mouse" production at
the Gale Thursday evening drew
only a fair audience, but it was al
great performance Of a farce-com-
edy, and kept the people in a roar of
laughter from start to finish. There
