It is noteworthy that this musician

the smallest city he will have APP
reared in. lie is in great demand
In the larger cities and the seven

euga cement of "a single night.
All city newspaper notices OF FL
man are loud in his praises, but
Infringing the matter nearer home
the Telegram gives four testimont-
ais by West Virgiuians, which leave
a deep impress as to the vio-
4 linist's ability and cleverness.
/. Margaret Horne, of the West Yfr-
\ gina University, says:
'1disclia EIman has the largest
tone of all vioHnists I have ever
heard. It's volume is wonderfully
5rich and broad. His technique IS
\ unsurpassed and to have this with
! his wonderful tone has in my opin-
ion made his unique position"
! Here Is one by w. II. Wayt' SUI
! perintendent of the Warrington
schools: ~
1T was my pleasure to hear
Mischa Elman two years ago In New
York city. / had gone to hear the
! Boston symphony orchestra--H4-
man was violin solo!st- The first
two or three numbers were given by
the orchestra and were well re-
ceived by the audience. But at the
conclusion of the v!olinist's first
number it was clear from the pro-
iJouged applause that the seventeen
year-oId Russian Jew-IMischa Ell
man-was the favorite. He was the
Icenter or attraction throughout tnel
entire evening. The evening was
his raher than that of the Botson
/ symphony Orchestra.
The music critics of the most
musical of countries-Ger many-
say that M!scha Elnlan Is the great
est living violinist. Every lover of
music in this section of the state Is
Indebted to those who have made It
possible TO hear this world master
in this community"
Below is another by Mary Louise
o!dnam of the Fairmont high
school:
I'm September, 1907, ! had the
good fortune to spend a week in
gloucester, Eng, attending mu-
sical festival.
..ln looking over my program II
find that Nischa Elman was the vio-
lin soloist. A youth OF dlgntfed
and pleasing bearing, who put more
soul and expression into his playing
than had ever heard come from a
violin before, although l have heard
Ysaye. 'FfPl
Nov that Elman is older. I ami
expecting even more pleasure than
he gave me a few years ago."
Still another is that by NJ. Beryl
Stewart, OF Warrington:
