Kunkle's Musical Review Of st. Lou
is has this to say: ''The Blind Boone
Concert Company filed q splendid en-
gagement for four weeks in this city.
The principal member of the company,
John W. Boone, is one of the most
wonderful pianists of recent years.
His playing is remarkable not because
of his blindness but because of his
artistic excellence. John w. Boone
is Justly considered the successor of
the celebrated Gottschalk. He grasps
with marvellous rapidity any compost
ton played for him and the most diff
cult pieces are played after a single
reading. His engagements here drew
crowded houses nightly. He has met
the leading professional men of the
city and the opinion is unanimous that
he is the most wonderful artist before
the public, We advice u patrons
wherever he appears to take advan-
tage of the opportunity of hearing
him." At the Academy of Music Iron
