: of Mr.. Oberhoffer is little less than
wonderful and each note of the music
seems to emanate from the depths Of
his soul and float out in rhythmic
beauty. so perfectly absolute is his
control. In him may be found a
distinct originality of style uneQualled
by any other conductor before the
American public. His ability to turn
the orchestra into an accompanying
body when the soloist appears Is
truly wonderful. The most remark
SHE feature of his conducting is his

of eXertion. void of spectacular action,
Just plain conducting but with a SEEM

the singer before them. His rendi

masterfully done. and won tumultuous
applause: he responded to an on
thusiastic encore with that ever
beautiful "Sweet Evening Star" from
Tannhauser.
Cello SOlOist at His Best
