Tv r. Genu them all. He regards I)’Albert as the 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.

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. ■RT GENERAL AGENTS FOR Erie Citv Iron Works, The Geiser Manufacturing Company, The New Bud sail Company, Munger Improved System for Ginning Cotton R.
