ton entirely for the left hand which
was cleverly executed. Then followed
MacDowelrs exquisite ITO a Water
Lily" which received a beautiful rem
dering. Grigg's Erotik, op. AZ, No. 2,
however, made the most decided i'm
preston. The richness with which he
brought out the pure singing tones of
this composition and the brilliance of
his technique brought forth a storm of
applause, to which Calzin responded
with Liszt-Paginini's Campanella. His
rendering of this was considered one
of his finest pieces of work in the
whole program. The delicate crisp
ness of his technique was irresistably
delightful.
LISTS Hungarian March, which
closed the program, was given with
splendid fire and enthusiasm and with
a brilliance that is seldom seen. Al
the close of this number Calzin re
ceived a remarkable ovation.
Throughout the program the per

At Augustana

Augustana's artist course for this
season was inaugurated in a singular
ly suspicious manner last night when
Alfred CalZin, the noted French plan
list, scored a signal triumph before a
large and critical audience. Al
though this was Cabins initial ap-
pearance in the tri-cities, his fame had
preceded him, nor did he fail to come
up to the most sanguine expectations.
An ovation seldom rendered must
clans at Augustana was given him
when the audience remained seated
at the close of the long program and
refused to leave the auditorium until
the pianist responded with an encore.
II was the third time he showed his
appreciation of the spontaneous re-
Spouse on the part of his hearers By
rendering extra numbers.
The program was divided into three
groups. The first was opened with
Mendelssohn's Variations Serieuses,
op. 81, a delicate, sombre composition
that struck the keynote for the two
following numbers by Chopin. The
first of these, Bailade in G minor, op
%, was exquisitely phrased and ex.
ceedingly delicate in tone coloring. In
this number Cslzin revealed a SOULFUL
ness in Interpretation that stamps him
as q master of the first rank in the
pianoforte. The first group was
brought TO a climax by the stirring
Polonaise, op. SO, by Chopin, which
was rendered with a fiery fervor that
eloquently reflected its martial spirit
The second group included Itchy
