Nero is already arousing a consider
able interest among local pianists. for
this famous woman's reputation is
truly world wide. and we have vivid
memories of her former triumphs on
the Pacific coast several years ago.
1t is worth while to read some of the
recent notices written by critics in
various parts of the country COM
menting upon her fine work. In the
course OF such an hours pleasant re-
viewing. a line from the Minneapolis
Tribune stands out as typical Of what
so many other papers have declared.
namely, that Nero is the giantess Of
the piano. Not a giantess. but the
giantess; she stands quite alone in
the estimation Of all critical judges
by virtue of her brilliance. dash and
color. No other one woman seems
to possess all the qualities OF this

Ss Friends represent varying types OF
