IMMENSE AUDIENCE
HEARS SCHARWENKA
Distinguished Composer.
Pianist in Fine Form.
Brilliant Programme

A magnificent audience greeted Navei
Scharwenka, the famous composer-pian-
list. at the jefferson theatre last night
The parquet was filled right back to tn,
door. and there were few if any vacant
seats in the balcony. 1t looked like q
grand opera audience.
Mr.. Scharwenka gave brilliant re
cital under the auspices of the Music
Study club. He was in excellent form
and this was his programme:
(a) Fantasia OPP. 49, f minor-Chopin.
tb) seherzo B flat minor-chopin.
Ia Ricordanza-L
(b) Polonaise f major-Liszt.
Sonata. opus 81 (appassionata)-Beet
ven. Crhree movements).
(a) Impromptu a Hongroise-Schu
bert-Scharwenka.
(b) Novelette, OPP. %. F minor-schar
wenka.
lc) Spanish Serenade-Scharwen
Id Polish Scharwenka
(e) "reminiscences de Bal, Op. "a
Scharwenka.
William Tell Overture-S charwenlxa
The Moonlight" sonata appeared OF
the printed programme, but by reques
the ''Appassionata' was substituted
Those who heard Scharwenka when h,
must have been agreeably surprised t,
find that he had not aged a bit. Hi,
fingers were as flexible as they wer,
in other days and his technic was a.
firm as ever. Modern virtuosos produces
many dazzling effects on the piano, bu
as an intellectual musician player, tn,
esteemed composer Is not only convincin:
but he wins the unbounded respect o
all discriminating music lovers
His Interpretation of Chopin was illu
minating, his List numbers were played
with great brilliance and the Beethoven
sonata was read with clarity and rem
dered with rare poetic feeling
Scharwenka's own group, as Nigh
have been expected. formed charming
| part of the programme. The Novel
lette' was a singularly beautiful compo
sition, and, of course, the Polish Dance
was eagerly awaited and heartily ap
| plauded. For an encore after "Remi
| niscences de Bal Scharwenka played thu
Mendelssohn scherzo.
While many in the audience would hav,
preferred something in the place of tn,
William Tell overture-fine for orehes
| ira or wind -Seharwenka infused
| into 1t such variety of tone color that /
made decided hit, and with this ending
of the programme the audience gave al
outburst of applause.
Scharwenka was evidently touched a
| the warmth of his reception. Scores o.
| ladies and gentlemen from the audience
went back on the stage to shake hand
with him. Those who sought an introduce
| tion were presented by Mrs. Gussen, who
as Miss Edna Gockel. was a pupil Of
him in Berlin.

and his company of % people yesterday at
the Majestic in a revival of "Finnegan $
Ball." which has been laugh producer
for many years, and was one of the first
of the musical farees to be put out in
tabloid form.
The company Is punctuated by a dozen
song numbers. several of which are new,
and the others are among the most pop
ular of the day. There are several new
and novel electrical effects which had
much to do with the effectiveness of SOME
of the songs.
Ollie Mack is the same little freshman
who entertained for years with his old
partner, Murray and he still carries his
ability to make an audience laugh. Ed
Morris plays the part of Casey in the
tabloid in place of Murray, and does
well.

receptacles near the ice for a few
days. In this way no risk would be
run.
