JOHN POWELL IS GIVEN
WARM RECEPTION here
In Spite Of Incicmcnt Weather, He
Plays to Large Audience and Is
Well Received.

The successes which Mr.. John Pow
ell has gained on the continent, Lon
don and other European cities were
not In the least eclipsed by the recep-
ton rendered him last night In the
Jefferson hotel auditorium by an en-
thusiastic audience. There Ii only
nne thing to be regretted, ana that
10 that the storm last night came at
the most inopportune time. and II
doubtless kept scores OF music-lovsrs
from attending the piano recital.
Those who did come went away with
q genuine feeling that they had heard
something really worth while, not
only educating, but entertaining.
The first number for the evening
was Beethoven's Sonata Appassion-
alta" Those familiar with the style
OF Beethoven's compositions appre-
ciated the tender and sympathetic
melody. Quite in contrast were the
selections from the works OF Chopin.
The "Nocturne in Major" the
'Etude in G Sharp Minor" and the
"Scherzo in c Sharp Minor" were full
OF animation. spirit and feeling. as Il
Characteristic of Chopin's compost
tons. They were well rendered and
received. and proved one of the most
attractive numbers on the program.
The third part of the concert con-
tained several light selections from
the compositions OF Daniel Gregory
Mason, Mcdowell. and John Powell.
The Banjo Picker" one of Mr..
Poweifs own works, was especially
attractive and tuneful, as was also
Hungarian by Mcdowell, which
were repeated as encores. The last
selection, Don Juan Fantasia" by
Liszt. called for real artistic talent,
and was charmingly given by Mr..
Powell.
Had not the weather interfered last
night, no doubt the auditorium would
have been packed, but the lovers of
artistic music who heard Mr.. Powell
last night recognized him as a genius
of rare ability.

 Herb Hester, manager of the Great Falls Electrics, has com. pleted deal which will material ly strengthen his team and give him a man on his pitching staff who should rank among the lead ing beavers in the Northwestern League this year.
 Bert Hall, who rated .576 in games won in 1915 while with the Salt Lake Bees, is the new acqui- sition, coming here through a straight purchase. Hall, while not the best pitcher in the Pacific Coast League, goes to Great Falls with a record of IS games won out Of 32 pitched against the hard-hit- ting Coast Leaguers and is sure to make good in the N. w. cir cult.
 In addition to the Hall deal, Hes ter is negotiating for the services of Harry Cheek, the Vancouver backstop, in the hope Of adding a veteran catcher to his string. A deal was pending to send Jules Pappa to the Beaumont club of the Texas League, in exchange for Catcher Joe Bobo, but Bobo baked and the deal fell through. Now Pappa may be traded to Vancouver for Cheek.
