Hotel Pavilion. A, d rule z similar
entertainment possesses only one
feature-mIsic. singing o" reading
The Howard-l-avawey recital depart,
from the usual custom, however. AMI
combines all three. Piano solos. read
ilgs, and songs alternate with each
other, giving the audience a variety
instead of one continual form o. en-
tCrtainment
! Mrs. Howard, in relating her expert
er"es in Europe, speaks OF an inter
esting incident of her student days at
Lausanne, which is most Characteris-
tic of her. in that il SHOWS her in
! dlviduality and tenaCity OF purpose
/ The Incompatible Sarasate was an
nounced to give a recital which all
musical Lausanne had re; olved to at
tend. Finding all the tickets sold and
I'd standing room Mrs. Howard with
another student called on Sarasatu to
: see what could be done The viOlinist
who was out at last returned with his
accompanist and singer ind a few in
innate friends. Mrs. Howard went
forward and after introducing her, elf
explained the tragic situation to the
violinist. The composer, however,
was not in the mood to listen to troll-
hles and waved her aside unCeremoni-
ouSly. Immediately he rclcnted and
sent his accompanist to make arrange
ments. A few minutes later the two
young Lausanne students we're seated
comfortably at the side of the stage;
and in the end won the sympathetic
smiles of the violinist who seemed to
consider it quite an amusing incident
MIR. Laraway in reading Shakes
peare, understands his work thorough
IL as can be seen is his conversation
He says:
In dramatic reading, the reader
puts before his audience the passions
in life experienced by the characters.
He may do this in several ways, but
IN accordance with tradition he must
use much judgment in not oversIep-
ping the bounds of convention estab-
Hshed by custom. The great actors
Of the past have laid tie paths
whereby Shakespeare is read; it is
traditional and must be preserved. In
reading the great dagger scene from
Macbeth, Mr. .Laraway uses the inter.
probation of Henry Irving, also Of Mr..
i. H. Southern. 1t is a, final law from
when there is no appeal and the true
artist will recognize the greatness of
the past masters in that their work
still holds the stage with the great
author"
Mr.. Laraway spent THE, whole of one
afternoon vii Mr.. e, II, Southern. and
Mss Julia NARROW IN talking. over
Shakespeare - t,tie.s, 90. #. m. !
Although he follows ,the intenpreta-
ton of Mr.. Southern to a great extent
nevertheless. Mr.. Laraway has his
own original and artistic method of
reading. ...N, a.. ....,H;h.l
