CHAPMAN'S CONCERT
UNUSUALLY DELIGHTFUL
Skowhegan People Privileged to Lis
ten to a Program Of Real Music
Monday Night

The musical treat which w. X.
Chapman has for years contributed
annually to Skowhegan audiences oc-
Cured last Monday evening with a
splendid attendance, an unusually
large delegation coming from Madi-
son by special cars. The concert was
delightful from start to finish. At
first people locally were little dis
appointed that Lottice Howell OF New
York. was to return after having so
recently appeared here in the impress
sario concert, not because they were
not pleased with her previously, but
because they hoped for a program
completely new. They were however,
enthusiastic over her numbers and
admired her exquisite voice and de-
lightful stage appearance even better
than In her Impressario numbers. Her
Spanish songs "By the Waters OF Min
netonka" and la Partida" in cos
tune varied the program and proved
most pleasing Innovation. Kola
LEVINE, the 'cellist, was warmly re-
ceived and his part of the program
was most thoroughly appreciated.
From the first drawn bow, 1t was
evident that LEVINE was a master
full artist In. Chopins Nocturne in
e fiat. the instrument under his d.
rection, brought out the full beauty
of the familiar but lovely selection
so like an evening prayer, while in
his repertoire, the audience was priv
ileged to listen to variety Of num-
bers similarly expressive Of the diff
ferent moods of the selections. The
great sorrow of this young musicians
life was the murder of his parents
by the Soviets which he witnessed
Tom williams, the baritone soloist OF
the evening, likewise delighted his
audience, his program giving a splen-
did opportunity for the demonstration
of his rich full voice. He is of Welsh
descent and it is said Welshman
loves to sing. and from his eariist
days is trained for singing. This
truth Mr.. Williams bore out most
faithfully and the people of Skowhe-
gan were quite as grateful. to him as
the other artists, for the entertain
ment which he offered. Mr.. Chap
man played the Accomplishments in
his inimitable manner and introduced
the performing musicians. He also
told of his recent trip to Florida and
enlivened the program by witty
stories. go
