The impression OF keen interpreta-

impression gained six months ago at

could not do or expect to do in one
he demonstrated an unusual range of
repertoire without at any time display
ing either hasty, imperfect execution,
superficiality or perfunetory rendi-
ton of some compositions for which
he had no particular liking.
Last April, in this same music room
at Kualii," Mr.. Moss gave program
on which Bach, Busoni, Mcdowell De-
busy, List and Tschaikswski wer3
represented Last night he departed
almost utterly from the manners and
methods Of these, giving series OF
well selected numbers with but one

ent writer may be permitted a guess,
with absolutely no knowledge on the
subject. he would say that Chopin IS
q prime fayorite with this pianist. He
would say, moreover, that few il any
pianoforte compositions will suit Mr..
Moss better than those of this Slavic
genius. who drew from his own rich
depths of nature themes so spontanc-
Gus and coupled them with taste SO
flawless that they are permanent
models OF rare merit Chopin is the
artist who from his earliest moments
found no difficulty in reconeiling re-
markedly exuberant talent to the
bounds of expression so faultless that
its ecmplexfty appears the acme OF
simplicity In these limpir, lyrical
compositions where each phrase is "A
gem OF purest ray serene" Mr.. Moss
is absolutely at one with his instru-
ment and his theme, showing velvet
touch and the spiritual devotion OF a
votary at shrine.
The remainder of his numbers, while
not dazzling, were exceptional in
treatment. A Prelude by Sergei
Rachmaninoff. Russian of the latter
day school. was interesting. Maurice
Ravel, a French composer, whose
music should be heard more often IL
America, was represented by very
beautiful. informal little nature lyric,
"Frolic of the Waters, which Illus
trates, though, of course, in a re-
stricted way, hts fertile imagination
and simpleness of method. An
"Etude" by Saint Saens, we'll rendered
and making some demands on teehnis
cal equipment, closed Mr.. Moss pro-
gram. As a final encore he played
enc of the Greenfelt "Romances.
Mr.. William A. Love, assisting Mr..
Moss, appeared in several violin seiec,
lions which made a favorable impress
sion. AS in the case of Mr.. Rudolf
Ruchly. who assisted Mr. Moss at the
former recital, the comment shouid
be made that Honolulu possesses ylo-
linists of much talent and sympathetic
musical sense. and it is greatly to
their credit that they are able IN the |
midst of active business life to develop
steadily in technique and repertoire.
Mr.. Loves "L6ure," Bach compost

Old Plantation Melodies and
Songs of South Combined
With Musical Comedy

Plantation melodies, not as usually
rendered by white artists profusely
decorated with. burnt cork, but by
genuine Afro-Amerieans, many OF
whom learned those same melodies
on cotton plantations OF the Sunny
South. followed by clever musical
comedy of high class, will be the
assortment of entertainment at the
Biiou theater tonight when the Frank
Poole-"Hen' Wise Bronze Revue
opens its limited Honolulu engage
ment. This company boasts many
good voices and there is promised a
delightful season of mirth and melody
for Honolulu lovers of music.
"A melange of minstrelsy, comedy,
mirth and harmony" is the descrip-
ton used by the management of the
Bijou in advertising this organization,
which, proceeds the advertisement,
lis the biggest, grandest and most
refined colored show ever in Honoiu-
lu." This Is some claim to be max
ing, but there is every assurance that
the forecast Is correct one. The
company has recently completed a
lengthy tour on the mainland and
comes to Honolulu finished organi-
zation with bet small necessity for
reheaFsals.
The performance will open with a
genuine. old-fashioned minstrel first
part, = with stage setting similar to
that which delighted the mas and pas
OF the present generation of amuse-
ment seekers. There will be the mer-
=. 49,
that is always the piece de resistance
of the opening portion of minstrel
program. This will be followed by a
