Miss Mary Schultz was not
alone in her triumph last night
when she gave violin concert be-
fore a large house at the Grand
theatre, for every member of her
audience reveled with her and
knew that other towns than her
home town will certainly hear of
her. Miss Schultz is young and she
expresses youth and Vigor, health,
freedom and ease in every move.
Her Interpretation of her num-
bers was full of life and harmony.
Her poise was excellent.
Although gracious to her audi
ence which applauded her to an
echo, Miss Schultz buried herself
in every number; she lost herself
completely. There was the great
est sincerity in each selection. Her
technique is good and pleasing to
watch, her tones are warm, even
and have rich depth. Her finger
ing and bowling are equally excel
lent.
Miss Schultz accompanist was
]. Hutcheson, of Portland, who
gave splendid support. Much of
the success of the musicale was no
doubt due to his sympathetic ac-
companying, and he shared the
hearty applause accorded each
number.
The young Violinist made a pref
ty picture as she stood before her
audience in a gown of flame col
ored velvet, enhancing the beauty
Of her brown bobbed hair and her
pretty, happy face. She flashed
smiles to all parts of the audience
for she saw on all sides throngs
of friends. She received arm loads
of beautiful flowers.
Miss Schultz opened her concert
by playing the group: Spanish
Dance (Romanza Andalusa, J
(Sarazate;) "Serenade" (d'Amro-
sio;) "Fugue, A major" (Tartini-
Kreisler) Her second number was
three movements of the Concerto
in G minor, opus 26 (Bruch,) a
vivid number, splendidly given.
Her encore was Songs My Mother
Sang to Me- (Dvorak.)
Her third group, composed of
selections slightly lighter than
the rest, was excellent. The first
number, EN- Bateau" (Debussy)
was soft and sweet, especially eff
fective. Others were "Minuet"
(Porpora-Kreisler;) DER Muss-
baum" (Schuman-Auer,) and
"Albumleaf" (Wagner-Wilhelmj)
Her encore, Little Tambourine"
(Gossec,) she gave twice.
Her final number was "Polo-
naise, A major" (Weiniawski) and
her encore was Lullaby (Reger)
One of the most interested list
eners in the entire audience was
William Wallace Graham, of Port
land, who was Miss Schultz's s
teacher for years, and who had a
box for the concert. He declared
that she has made wonderful ad-
vancement during her five years
of study in New York where she
has practiced increasingly. Miss
Schultz's career is not all in the
future, for part of it is right now,
he stated. He predicts large things
for the violinist and wishes for
her a few years abroad. Behind
the scenes when the concert was
over one could sense the sentiment
in the conversation of many that
Miss Schultz's home town friends
should make further extensive
study financially possible. For
Salem is justly proud of her. Mr..
Graham, who may be said to have
brought Miss Schultz up musical
1v. declares that her energy is
untiring and her work on her
music is unceasing.
Miss Schultz, who is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. c. Schultz
Is spending a few months here
with her parents and will return
east again sometime in August
