PICKERING Gets
HIGH PRAISE ON
CONCERT WORK

Local admirers of A. j. Pickering,
Douglas violinist, and others in this
city who appreciate the value of fine
music turned out to enjoy an evening
iof finished playing at the Epfscopas
Parish house last night. &
The Douglas Music club presented
Pickering in a special program ana
his work as well as thateof the as
sisting artists was splendid.
One does not have to be violinist
to grasp the accurate tones and love-
,ly singing quality of Pickering's
playinA> The difficult Beethoven
gonata was played with ease and
ssmoothness while the Douglas violin
ist was at his best in his renditions
of the difficult Kreisler selections. He
interpreted them perfectly, giving
them fine rythm and excellent shad-
ing.
OF. especial interest to his audience
was the little Mazurka of his own
composition. The applause after this
number vas most hearty and he was
forced to repeat it with even greater
success and heartier applause.
In the opening number Mrs. Her
bert Lewis proved an excellent ac-
companist lending a valuable back
ground to Pickering's interpretations
In this Sonata, as all through the
program, music lovers of Douglas
were justified in being really proud
of their local musicians who proved
that this city harbors some remark
able, talent. Mrs. John Crowell's Vale
was the finest of her group and she
gave it the power and q ringing tone
which it demanded. IEcr other two
selections were also excellently Of
fered with a smoothness of tone
which made them unusually appeal,
ing.
OF course Mazurka stood out in the
second group of Pickerings selec,
tions yet all his numbers in this
goruping We're we'll done.
Mrs. f. H. Randle in her two piano
numbers played with extraordinary
Interpretation and this fact combined
with her fine touch won her audi
ence completely. The interpretative
power of this pianist is wonderful
and last night she was at her best
In his last group, Pickering was
exceptionally effective in his inter-
probation of the Slavonic dance num-
Der and of Mazurka by Musin requir-
ed considerable technical skill.
The entire program from start to
finish was great triumph for all
participating and the audience show
ed its appreciation throughout.
The next regular program of the
Music club will be given Monday
night and is to be presented in the
Martha washington style. Part of
the program will be devoted to old
fashioned numbers and the other part
to modern selections.
