atm Jy due to the efforts of one man,

king of pianists.
In speaking of his plans for the win
ter, Mr. Geppert said he would bring
two or three of the greatest artists in
the world to the South, but is going to j
introduce an innovation in the bringing j
into these concerts some of the verv ^
best voices in the state of Georgia. He ;
has already selected one lady, who, uc ,
says, has a remarkable voice, and will ,
during the next sixty days make a
decision as to the others.
Mr. Geppert has the assistance in ins
work of this kind that of his wife, who
is regarded as one of the very ogsl mu
sical and dramatic critics in the coun
try, she having been for years The
critic for the Louisville Courier-Journal
and during the World’s lair did critical
work for the Chicago Tribune. Mrs.
Geppert is better known as Dolly Hig-
bee, and it was her novel of “In God’s
Country” which was- dramatized ana
presented in New York last fall under
the name of “A Southern Romance.
Mrs. Geppert is expected in Gainesv <-ue
next week, and the distinguished
writer will no doubt be the recipient of
many social attentions-

ea that all his work in the di-

eclly cost him a great deal of
IP- stated that Paderewski
vb- paid two thousand, dollars *to
day the piano in Atlanta for one hour

roseh r para company cost nine thou
sand dollars for the presentation

NordioB was paid one thousand dol
lars to sing four songs. This gives an
idea of the tremendous responsibility
involved in the giving of these splendid
concerts.
Mr. Geppert was with the great ac
tress and reader Mrs. Scott-feiddons,.
for two years, and now wears a beau
tiful watch and chain presented to him
by that remarkable woman, who re
cently died in Baris.
In the world of music .and especially
the handling of pianists. Mr. Geppert
is regarded as one of the best, and has
given concerts with all the great play
ers of the world since Van Bulow s
time, and is personally acquainted with
The piano houses have taken posses
sion of The Daily Cracker columns.
There seems no excuse for any house
hold being without a musical uisD a-
mene. Where one can buy a piano or
organ at less than cost on easy pay
ments, as one reliable concern o ers
during a forced snle, no man can make
an excuse to liis wife or daughters for
not buying.
The much talked-of concerts by Mr.
T. M. Mayer, the pianist, last Friday
afternoon and night, at St. Joseph s
Academy and the Auditorium, under
the auspices of the Cable Piano Co.,
proved of more than passing interest to
the music lovers of this city.
Much had been expected of Mr
Mayer, for he. had been heralded in t:m
nublic prints as a pianist of more than
ordinary ability, and ranking among
the great musicians of America, but
those who had in charge his appearance
here certainly knew the ability of the
man, and his performance demonst-i >i-
ced that he was really more than ir-.o
! been claimed for him.
I His programme, was made up of the
compositions of Kowalski, Vogrich,
Grieg, Gottschalk, Olsen, Mendelssohn,
Godard and two of his own, presenting
a classic collection that could only be
made interesting by an artist.
Mr. Mayer possesses a technique that
is simply «stounding, and his tonal
product:*mis beautiful, he seeming to
.mm a faculty of drawing the tone from
the nir.no and producing a singing
quality resembling that of an organ,
and of a smooth, velvety character.
In compositions like the Tremolo of
Gottschalk. the Bn Route of Godard,
and the Twelfth Rhapsodie of Liszt.
