Mrs. William Price, who before her
marriage, was Miss Ruth Ogden. The
marriage of Miss Ogden and Mr.. Price
which took place last week was sur
prise to the friends of the young
couple.
Musicians are looking forward to
the concert to be given by Miss Ruth
/ Miller Topeka girl. who has been
spending some time in Chicago. and
who will appear in recital at the
| Grand, under the direction of Mr..
| Daniel Muller.
Commenting on Miss Miller's pro-
gram, Mr.. Muller states that in many
ways it is CT more than ordinary in
terest. 1t is balanced so we'll and the
succession of numbers is so fittingly
1 chosen that it is III itself a master :
piece Miss Miller is going to play
the original Concerto OPP. 81 by Tchai-
kowsl1y, as the great Russian COM
poser conceived and wrote it; not in
/ revised form, which was done because
Auer. the great teacher of violin. did
not think the original could be played
| by any Violinist. Hugo Kortschak,
who is the greatest exponent of
1 Sevcik violin teaching methods, has
succeeded in teaching this young KAN
sas artist to play the almost impossi-
BILE Concerto flawlessly. To under
stand its bewitching beauties, and con-
quer its mysteriously changing form
! and mood, requires indeed a master
mind, ard technique of supersensitive
| precision.
! Miss Miller will also play Guiraud's
Caprice" in two movements. CUR
aud was an American. He was born
in New Orleans in 1887. He became
noted as a composer in France and in
Rome and had great mastery of many
different instruments. He was Il
I teacher of prominence and as such
was idolized by his students, because
he was always ready to help and en-
courage them, and placed their well
/ fare before his comfort or profit. He
counted unselfish service rendered in
the interest of music the greatest of
all gain. His Caprice" as played by
Miss Miller is full of beautiful mel
/ ody and portrays the lofty ideals of
the temperamentally gifted American
master, so little known by his owr
people. The GARNER Fantasia by
Hubay is another number that re-
quires the skill of finished musician
and is being treated with finesse and
authority by Miss Miller.
Note the piano numbers: Chopin.
the poet, is in prominent place on The
I program, and List, whose "Taran-
telle" is always new source of in
spiration. Its melodies are treated in
a very complete manner. The fleeing
runs and ever changing from slow and
]
able velocity, coupled with the Hun
/ garian master technician's disregard
for human limitations makes this
composition one that calls forth the
powers of the greatest of present day
pianists. Mr.. Whitaker is one of the
recognized able artists VINO plays it,
and owes List no apology.
