Frances Nash, the charming young Omaha pianist, whose repeated and notable suc distinguished her first season in her native country, will be heard in concert at the Metro- politan hall, December 10. One of Miss Nash’s critics says: “Her whole soul is poured out at the ends of her fingers,” and so when we really analyze the tests that have de- | veloped her character, we find that music has proved to her intense na- ture a soul release, an outlet to bright skies. Early European successes did not | disturb the sincerity or depth of Miss Nash's purpose, but instcad spurred her on to greater cffort and longer periods of study. Even her brilliant second season's bookings were not so much regarded as a compliment, but rather as an opportunity, another chance to prove, and, accordingly, her summer vacation was spent with her practice schedule undisturbed.” A recent review of one of her east- ern appearances with the New York Philharmonic orchestra says: “One did not expect such attainment from so young an artist, to whom we | could scarcely attribute the strength | of soul and body for such effects.” SS08 | den club was held Tyeesday afternoon jat the home of Miss Mollie Rice.
