WILL PLAY HIRE TONIGHT
Axel skovgaard, Danish Violinist, to
Appear For First Time Before
Bemidji Audience.
HAS GENUINE sTRAD1vAR1Us

Axel Skovgaard, who is to play a
concert this evening in the city hall,
was born in Copenhagen in May.
1875. EARLY in his youth, he evinced
a fondness for violins first making
small ones out of strings and cigar
box. His wooden bow did not satisfy
him and his cries Influenced his nurse
to buy him one for twenty-seven
cents.
It was not long after this that he
was given a real violin and started
lessons at once, playing under vari-
GUS teachers until at the age of
twelve he was sent to Berlin to study
with Carl Hair. But the business
sense Of zASfathsr would not allow
him to stay in Germany and he re-
turned to Copenhagen to enter busi-
ness life. This proved so distasteful
that at the age of twenty he was
again in Germany at his old studies.
While there he studied with Joseph
Joachim for three years.
In 1899, he had an opportunity to
buy genuine Stradivarius violin
and with the financial aid OF his
father, he made the purchase for 3d.
900 marks ($13,000). The 1nstru-
ment had never before been played
having been kept in museum, but
was in perfect condition and in the
hand of a master steadily improved
in tone. Today it is worth more than
it cost Skoygaard. He carries this
violin with. him and uses it in his
concerts
This is the fifth American tour for
the Danish player and he is accom-
panied by Miss Ethel May Wright,
soprano, and Miss Alice McClung,
pianist. Press notices speak highly
of both young ladies and they are
said to be able to round out the pro-
gram in an able manner. This is
the first appearance Of Skovgaard in
Bemidji and the local management is
preparing for capacity house.
