AN IMPRoMPTU CONCERT.

About $50 lovers of music of our
city gathered at the Universalist
church last Friday evening to listen
to program rendered by the Three
All Star Concert company of Milwau-
kee, which was headed by Jacob
Reuter-, a former resident of Wausau.
Mr.. Reuter-, the famous violin virtu-
oso, whose name is a household word
in every Wausau home, gave con-
cert at Marshfield, Wis, on Thursday
evening at the Adler opera house.
While visiting at Marshfield his old
time friends and admirers of Wausau
sprang surprise on him by telephon-
ing and inducing him to bring his
company of three to Wausau, to give
them a musical treat. 1t all hap
pened on the spur of the moment
and in little while the wizard
of the bow stood before us, his violin
tucked under his chin and the opening
measures of Leonard Concerto filled
the air with such music as can only
be rendered by Jacob Reuter-. The
improvement of his work over that of
his last visit here two years ago is SO
marked that one wonders what it
will all lead to in another two years.
AS a composer Mr.. Reuter- stands
high, his compositions always pleased
his audiences years ago, but he has
broadened and the flow of melodious
harmonies, constant surprising effects
and novelties, simply dazzles. His
Hungarian Fantastic" on original
themes, is veritable whirlwind.
Remembrance of the Past, !" however,
short composition with such pathos
and tender feeling, captivated his
friends and caused tears to flow.
Miss Elsa Schubert, the soprano of
the '"Three All Star Concert Co."
might well be styled the American
nightingale; she has great range of
voice and all of her songs were re-
ceived with an ovation, and while the
audience was rather imposing upon
encores, Miss Schubert gracefully re-
sponded. Her singing of the "Flor-
ians Song" by GODDARD and Jensen's
''Press Thy Cheek Against Mine
Own" was superbly done. Beautiful
shading, perfect enunciation and
great musical expression and feeling
are the singers stronghold. Aside
from her beautiful voice, Miss Schu-
bert has very fine stage presence
and personal magnetism, all of which
adds considerable to the success of
an artist.
Mr.. Lindner is young man who
has the piano talent in great abund-
ance, his technique is already highly
developed and he has also the musical
inspiration and interprets Chopin
like natural artist. Mr.. Lindner
was also warmly received and had to
add encores to his numbers. All in
all it was a delightful, impromptu
musicale for which we all wish to
thank the wizard of the bow who
gave us the privilege of listening to
so wonderful musical treat.
Mr.. Reuter- remained in Wausau,
visiting friends until Sunday evening.
