Last Wednesday evening Blind
Boone gave q concert at the Garden
Theater. This was Boone's third ar
pearance in Wa-Keeney and in spite
of the fact that the night was q stormy
one large and appreciative audience
gathered to hear him. Many think this
was BooDe's best concert and it is GER
tain that his program was an exceed
| ingly pleasing one. The man is a WON
der and his playing marvellous when
it is taken into consideration that he
has never seen neuerin his life. He
plays with an ease and rhythm char
acteristic of his race. He PLAYS from
the simplest compositions to the
most difficult and brilliant ones and
his Interpretation of classic compos-
ition is truly marvellous. An inter-
esting feature of the evening was
when Miss Margaret Hartman, a
young piano student of much talent
and promise, played Tam O'Shanter
and Boone reproduced it, While
there was some Slight differences, in
the main, it was correct and shows
the genius which he possesses. Two
lady Focalists accompanied him on
this tour and pleased the audience
with q number OF selections which
were heartily encored. Every one
was we'll pleased with the Boone con-
cert although most everybody has
q ri him IF not 10
