BAUER PLAYS HERE TONIGHT
Celebrated Pianist Will Delight Grand
Forks Audience at the All.
ditOrium.

Harold Bauer will play at. the
Grand Forks auditorium this evening.
and there doubtless will be Il large
audience nut to hear him.
Mr.. Bauer is not a man whose life
is enwrapped in legendary mists. The
story of his career is a simple tale of
indefatigable. conscientious work. He
was born in England in 1873 of mixed
parentage; his father was n German by
birth. his mother English. AS IL child
he showed musical instinct, and he
began to play as II violinist. He play
ed in public when he was Q years old.
Although he had studied the piano,
he did not dream of a career as Il pi-
n virtuoso. until P~aderewski heard
him and urged him to devote himself
exclusively to tho piano.
1t was in 1892 that Mr.. Bauer went
to Paris with P~aderewski. No doubt
the latter was of assistance to him,
but Mr.. Bauer in Il, great a Is
self-taught.. A'man Of sensitive, re-
ceptive. analytical mind, of liberal
knowledge and shrewd reflection. he
worked out his own salvation. In 1893
he made his debut as a pianist in Pa
ris. and for the last eight years he
has called that city his home: but he
has travelled extensively and given
large concerts in Germany, Spain, The
Netherlands, Austria, Russia, Sweden,
and other countries. His first appear
ance in America vas at Boston. De-
cember 1. 1900, when he played with
the Symphony orchestra, Brahms
Concerto in d Minor.
