brush of D. F. Dodge, of the Herald
flquare theater, New York. The costumes
were designed from paintings by Eaves
& Co. The action of the piece takes place
in San Francisco about 1890, and deals
with the methods employed to get opi-um
Into the United States free of duty. The
first act shows Deadman's dock, with
the Golden Gate in the distance. Here
the smugglers begin their work, Old

of "Jim, the Penman," a four-act com
edy-drama, dealing with the adventures
—sometimes comic and sometimes tragic —

bill selected for the opening performance.
The story of the play is interesting, the
wiles of an artful adventuress in her
effort to bring financial ruin upon an
honest, young barrister, who has recenfc
ly inherited a large fortune, is the theme
around which the playwright has woven
a series of incidents, striking dramatic
and original. On a former occasion the
LeFebvre company won the approval of a
Bt. Paul audience for its excellent presen
tation of this drama, and the advance
sale of tickets for Wednesday evening
points to a repetition of its former suc
cess. The cast includes Emily L. Le-

I MUSICAL Wil 1
One of the greatest piano virtuosi of the
century, Vladimir de Pachman, was never
the pupil of such distinguished men as
i^szt, Tausig, Henselt, Rubinstein or
Yon Bulow. The reason is patent; he Is
a great, and, in several' instances, better
than any of the names mentioned, his
technic being rivaled by one man, Karl
Tausig. Technically, De Pachmann has
no superior today, for, while he lucks
the muscularity of Rosenthal, his tonal
gradation Is almost miraculous. He plays
with the keyboard, performing wonders
with a nonchalance that is almost In
human. But to offset his phenomenal
digital 1 dexterity are his beautiful mu
sical touch and poetic conception. He
is the greatest Chopin player alive— of
certain moods of Chopin. The Slavic
nr.orbldezza polish, daintiness, diabolical
languors and coquetry are perfectly ex
emplified in his playing. This season he
purposes displaying his versatility, so we
shall hear sundry works of Weber, Men
delssohn and Schumann. De Pachmann
plays the "Invitation to the Valee," and
the A flat sonata of Weber 1b a bewil
deringly fascinating way. He has Im
proved since his first appearance here
in 1890, Improved on the side of rhyth
mical 1 steadiness, tonal breadth and in
terpretative sanity, and his music, his
tone, his octaves and double notes, his
trills and scales are as beautiful In) qual
ity as ever.
Vladimir de Pachmann was born July
27, 1848, at Odessa, but does not nearly
look his age. He studied with his father,
and in 1866, with Dachs, at Vienna. Since
then with no one, although Liszt asked
him to visit Weimar. His great natural
gifts, backed by an iron resolution, ac
complished wonders. He first appeared
in London in 1882, and later traveled In
Austria, France, Germany and Denmark.
In the latter- country the king conferred
on him the Order of the Danebrog. Ernst
Paver,- In Mar '-'Dictionary of Pianists,"
calls De Pachmann one of the great
Chopin players.
He appeared in Boston the other even
ing and played before the largest and
most fashionable audience of the sea
son He had a triumph such as is rarely
given to any man, for the people of
that staid old music loving town were
rapturous over him. The newspapers of
Boston are notably conservative, but the
next morning De Pachmann was the hero
of them all. Wilder D. Quint, one of the
first of critics, writes over his name in
the Traveller as follows:
"The Pachmann of today is unique and
charming. He puts to flight the memory
of every other pianist who has played
to üb— l except none. If there is a wizard
of the pianoforte, it is he. He makes the
instrument a living, throbbing being; the
marvelous tones, the velvety scales; the
flawless technlc— all seem to come from
the man and the piano as one, so amaz
ingly are they Joined in the friendship
of art. There Is nothing for the hearer
to do but give himself to the witchery
of the hour and be grateful for the rare
gift of the gods.
"In his own field, where none can pre
sume to keep wiihin hailing distance of
him— the field of Ghopln music— De Each
mann is as sup«tb an ever. The noble
sentiment, the surpassing tonal loveliness,
the perfect superiority to every sort of
technical difficulty ar» in nowise impair
ed. To hear him play {yesterday's mazur
ka, or waltz, or "study in thirds,' was a
liberal education dn rhythmic art. After
a great performance ofi the C sharp scher
zo, the pianist gave «s an encore
Weber's 'PerpetuUm Motum,' and played
It with overwhelming -virtuosity.
"I feel that this is a; review of superla
tives, but in dealing; swith such a man
they are unavoidable/I
This great artist appears at the Peo
ple's church on evening next,
and what is remarkable about it, he costs
less to the public of St. Paul for tickets
than anywhere else in the country, but,
he costs the management -more than New
York or Boston pays for him.

St. Paul music lovers have 3eldom lis-»i
ttned to anything better in instrumental
music than two of the numbers en the
programme presented yesterday afternoon
at the People's church in the Y. M. G. A.
entertainment series. The selections
were; Liszt's arrangement of. Weber's
Polonaise Brilliant and Liszt's Hungarian
Fantasio. The numbers were played by
Mr. William H. Sherwood, pianist, with
orchestral accompaniment by the Chica
go Symphony orchestra. Both numbera
abound in technical difficulties, both are
full of the mad, wild music that no one
has ever written so well as Li3Zt. That
Mr. Sherwood, noted for his brilliant
technique, should triumph over merely
mechanical difficulties was to be expected,
but his grasp of the master's conception
in both polonaise and fantasie, and his
characteristic interpretation called forth
the heartiest applause from an audience
not large numerically but thoroughly ap
preciative. He was obliged to respond to
encores after each number, and even then
the audience was barely satisfied.
The Chicago Symphony orchestra, in Its
playing yesterday, strengthened the fa
vorable impression it created here the
first part of the week. Its opening num.
ber, the Tell overture, was superbly han
dled, but it was Fahrbach's waltz, "Frau
enliebe," that aroused the enthusiasm of
the audience. Rosenbecker, the conduct
or, seems to be particularly happy in ob
taining from his men a swinging ihythm
in the playing of waltz numbers that
render them doubly alluring. Other or
chestral numbers were: A fanfcas'.e from
Verdi's Traviati, a minuet of Bolzoni,
the Schubert serenade and one of Rosen,
becker's own compositions, "Columbia
March," that has all the swing of a Sou
sa march and is besides much better mu
sic.
Mme. Lonne again charmed the audi
ence with her finely cultivated soprano.
She sang an aria, "My Heart at Thy
Sweet Voice," from Saint-Saens" "Sam
son and Deliah," and a duet with Mr
Meyn, "O, Days of Youth," from Doni
zetti's "La Favorita."
Mr. Meyn was also heard in a solo num.
ber, "The Evening Star," from "Tann
hauser," and was obliged to respond to a
recall.
Miss Gertrude Hall will give a pupils'
recital Friday afternoon at her home
studio, 240 Arundel street. Every number
on the programme will be from the works
of Johann Sebastian Bach, and Miss Hall
will give a talk on the life and works of
this composer.

The organ recital which was to have
been given Thursday evening at the First
Baptist church by Arthur C. Koemer has
been postponed to the Monday evening
following, Nov. 20, on account of conflict
ing with the Schubert club rehearsal and
other musical events.
The Mozart club's rehearsals for It*
second presentation of Kreutzer's opera,
"Das Nqchtlager yon Granada," show a
marked improvement both in chorus and
principals The former success and the
presence of Mr. Lewis F. Shawe In th«
cast, together with the valuable assist
ance of Mr. Heinrich Meyn, the New
York baritone, at a dress rehearsal, com
bine to spur the entire cast to the utmost
activity and patience. Mrs. Zumbach,
whose Gabrielle in the first presenta
tion made the hit of her career, promises
to add to her laurels next Tuesday even
ing, greater familiarity with its require
ments having enabled her to approach
more closely to her conception of the
part.
Mr. Zumbach's. voice in the leading ten
or role was a revelation to his friends,
and being now in splendid voice, should
repeat his triumph. Lewis F. Shawe, who
will sing the part of the Prince, has many
qualifications for grand opera, and his
long residence in Germany gives him the
necessary familiarity with the language.
Mr, Helnrich Meyn, the New York bari
tone, who was heard at the People's
church- last week, »s to appear in Mr.
Shawe' s part of the Prince In a New York
production of the opera this season, and
ha* given Mr. Shawe valuable assistance.
Altogether the success of the second per
formance at Mozart hall Tuesday even
ing seems a foregone conclusion. Follow
ing is the complete cast: Gabrielte, Mrs.
Paul Zumbach; Gometz, Paul Zumbach;
the Prince, Lewis F. Shawe; Ambroslo,
Adolph Glesen; Vasco, Martin Giesen;
Graf Otto, Albert Meyer.
A vocal and instrumental concert will
be given tomorrow evening at Jarosz hall,
Thomas and Gaultler streets, under th«
auspices of the Aurora band.
The Concordia Singing society is prepar
ing for a concert and ball for the open-
Ing of its season, which will occur at Mo
zart hall the 18th inst.
"Joseffy is one of the greatest artists
of all who are to appear in St. Paul this
winter," said a well known gentleman to
a. Schubert club member recently.
"Paderewski, Rosenthal, Saver — each is
great — but not one of them can give you
the liquid melting tones, the limpid runs
that fairly fall from the fingers of Joseffy
— like so many pearls and diamonds." This
is in truth the verdict of the sane and
most sober-minded of our well known
critic, such as Krehbiel, Henderson and
critics, such are never dazed by most
virtuosity, and who find in Joseffy all
the qualities that go to make the most
satisfactory pianist. Joseffy is to appear
in the Schubert club choral series on
March 15. In the same series are the
Thomas orchestra, Leonna Jackson, the
violinist, the pet of Joachim. Mr. George

Hamlln, the tenor, whose lovely solo,
"Summer, Summer, I Depart" In the
"Swanand Skylark" last winter will never
be forgotten by those who heard it, Miss
Katherlne Gordon, Mrs. D. F. De Wolf,
and last, but not least, two great artists
whose names are for a short time with
held from the public. Better even than
the artists, great as they are, Is the flno
chorus which Mr. Ober-Hoffer Is rapidly
bringing to perfection In that much dis
cussed new work, "Hiawatha, a Wedding
Feast," a composition so tuneful and
pleasing, and yet so rich in varied har
monies as to satisfy both the trained end
the untrained ear. This work Is sure to
create a sensation greather even than
that caused by the "Swan and Skylark,"
for the orchestration Is as beautiful and
unique as the choral parts, and there 1s
the loveliest solo that can be imagined
for the tenor. The other choral work
now being studied in "The Sun Wor
shipers," by Thomas, is a different
in character, more dignified and majes
tic, as is indicated by the title and In
troduces beautiful solos for both Miss
Gordon and Mr. Hamlln. It Is understood
that Miss Gordon has decided upon a
duet, from one of the operas for Mr.
Hamlln and herself as a separate num
ber at the first concert on Dec. 5. She
will also sing a fine aria, it Is said. All
of the numbers will have orchestral ac
companiments. The series sale Is now
progressing rapidly, and exchange tickets
are ready for all subscribers. Full in

LEtTIHE ON PARIS.
Mr. Harwell's Talk Illustrated by
Sfteireoptlcon "View*.
Mr. Basil Burwell gave a talk on "Paria
and the Exposition of 1900" to a good au
dience yesterday morning in the parlor
of the Aberdeen. His lecture was illus
trated by excellent stereopticon pictures,
which he took himself during the past
summer in Paris. He carried his hearers
through the familiar streets to the prin
cipal buildings and churches and out to
the Bois de Boulogne. Many of his
views were colored and original, and not
to be seen among the pictures usually
I shown of Paris. Mr. Burwell told of the
exposition, its location, and showed as
many pictures as he could obtain of the
partly furnished buildings. He also gave
the audience many hints which will be of
value to those intending a visit to the
exposition next year. Mr. Burwell is an
easy talker and know* hia subject well,
having become thowousfhly familiar with
Paris and its environs during his sum
mer's visit. It Is hoped that he will re
peat the lecture in a place larger and
more suited for a good display of the
pictures than Is the Aberdeen. Mr. Bur
well is lecturing under the auspices of
the Art and Travel ckib, of Chicago.
