 Thus came about another situation with respect to tomorroW's concert that is unusual. in that there will be two separate displays of two-piano numbers. the other eXecutants being Walter J. Arbour and Mr. Hart.

He is q young man who realizes that art. is a long road and requires incessant effort if distinction is to be attained. AS is the case with most youthful performers, he has suffered some what from stagefright when con- fronted by an audience, but as he accumulatcs experience is said to be gaining steadily in that poisc that is essential in successful public appear ances.
 Practically all of the two-piano music to be played will be speedy and brilliant in character. Composers represented will be Saint-Saens, Bach, Raff and Chabrier.
 Anderson and Futile, Soloists
 Soloists will be Herbert r.. Andcr- son, Niolinist. who will have Charles X. Johnson assisting him at the pi- ano. and Jane Sartori Futile. con tralto, who will be assisted by Walter l.. Masnuson.
 All of these will make two appear anCcS. Messrs.
