WILMA BAzANT SCORES TREMENDOUS HIT WITH
 LAST NIGHTS PROGRAM

Seward music lovers took a trip round the universe last evening with Wilma Bazant, violinist, who gave an other, her second and last program in Seward, at the Liberty theatre. Again the talented young girl thrilled her large audience with soul-stirring melo- dies, classical masterpieces, ending with the sweet selections of long ago which never grow old.
 Encore followed upon encore the artist graciously rendering selection after selection to her rapt audience; until at last the artist announced her next number Aloha" would complete the program. And this was played 80 marvelously, that for moments after it was finished, her listeners were still spellbound. It was a most happy and appropriate ending to such a rare musical treat and wherever Aloha" is heard nj the future, all who had the rare pleasure of hearing the violinist Hast evening, will forever bring tender recollections of Wilma Bazant's inter- pretation.
 At times drowning over her violin, around which she seemed to be fairly wrapped, this remarkable young girl played extremely difficult numbers with such ease and such intense feel ing that she captivated her apprecia tive audience; one could almost have heard a pin drop. Applause burst forth spontaneously at various occa sions when an exceptional bit Of art istry was rendered.
 A beautiful basket of flowers, anC boxes of candy, were presented to he, during the program.
 It was no small task which confront ed Mrs. McNally, pianist, who accom-
 panied the violinist, for as has beer
 said, the selections rendered were quite difficult. Her accompaniment was appreciated.
