Teresa Carreno does, everybody is prepared to judge her plano playing by the highest possible standard. And it will stand for the most rigorous Jjudgment, and for as many odlous com- parisons as you care to throw. in. She is & wonderful woman. Her art is warm; rich, subtle and mature. Her playing is authoritative, informed and full of a fine personal spell that unerringly grips you where yoy, live and feel. Compare her to Rosenthal and she is as poetry is to mathematics; compare her to Fanny Bloomfleld Zeisler and the honors are even in Beethoven and Bach and all Car- reno’s in Chopin; compare her to Pade- rewski and she is still a great artist, if indeed as all others are, something less than the fabulous Pole. First, she has the technique, the easy, effortless tech- nique that makes mechanism forgot; and then she has the blood and passion and poetry to make you feel the message of the music. Her temperament is un- bounded, and yet it always seems ser- vant to a scrupulous musicianly mind, and never takes up a fury and runs away with everything, as I was led to expect when 1 saw her heralded by the passion- ate press agent as ‘‘the Lioness of the Pianoforte” or ‘“‘the Planka of the Plano- forte,”” or something equally fearful. She g2 an exquisitely poised artist who can lure poetry from perhaps the most unpoetic of all instruments. arreno commenced with Bach in yes- terday's recital—the Fantasie Chromat- ique and Fugue. The audience, like most San Francisco audiences, was late in com- ing, and the straggling feet and banging seats made it almost impossible to hear just how well the Bach was played. From what little of it found my ears I should say that the performance was first rate— scholarly, yet human, and, above all, elu- cidated with happy phrase and articula- tion. Then the crowd—it wasn't so much of a crowd, either, I mourn to say—set- tled down, and she played the C sharp minor sonata by Beethoven, a work of the utmost simplicity and melodic beauty, and one that is heard here only too seldom. Carreno played it with masterly analysis, The adagio she gave its full measure of grave gray tints; the allegretfo was a perfect bouquet of fragrance and ingen- uousness; and the allegro was taken at the terrific pace that serves it best and sounded forth in splendid excitement. A _group of four Chopins followed, in- cluding the G flat etude, in which she introduced some daring and yet effective changes_in tempi, and the A flat polo- naise, which she played with superb crash and without making the smudge that most pianists make of its closely Knit passages. As a Chopin encore she played the Berceuse so deliciously and tenderly that in spite of the ornateness and elab- oration in which the piece abounds you could almost justify its conventional ac- ceptance as a slumber song. Remarkable in the second half of the programme were the Schubert Impromptu, given with de- lightful sympathy and broad singing tone, and the Paganini-Liszt etude, “La Cam- panella,” which sounded Carreno at her best in bravoura playing. From every standpoint except the finan- cial—which is sure to be better now that the ice is broken—Mme. Carreno was a success. Everybody who heard her play yesterday will want to hear her again. The few hundreds who were there stood up and shouted at the close of the con- cent—to-day’s newspapers will do the rest.

B R O e i aC SRCS SCS SN beth” in the Columbia’ last night dis- | closed Mr. Warde in_the title part, Miss | Kidder as Lady Macheth and Mr. James | as Macduff. An immense audience was | in attendance and the production was greeted with considerable favor. Mr. ‘Warde’s work was candidly melodra- matic, and Mr. James’ was much in the same vein. A less ferocious interpreta- tion would have been given had there been an exchange of parts between the male stags.. Mr. James is a forceful if not an ideal Macbeth. Mr. Warde brings out none of the mental side of the part; his acting of it is largely a matter of voice and overwrought stage business. Miss Kidder, while of course temperamentally too light for Lady Macbeth, vet managed to give the lines with understanding and to build up an interpretation that was consistent with her tragic abilities. ———— ACCUSED OF HUGGING A GIRL. bl | Joseph Cordes, a Race Track Man, | Convicted and Held on i Heavy Bonds. | Joseph Cordes, a frequenter of the race | track, was convicted by Judge Mogan Friday on a charge of battery. Thursday | evening he was on a Sutter street car and put his arm around a young girl who was sitting on the dummy close to him. The | girl complained to the conductor, Thomas Harris, who remonstrated with Cordes, | and Cordes hit him on the face. The Judge ordered Cordes Into custody to ap- | pear for sentence yesterday morning with- out bail, but his attorney applied for a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Cook, and the Judge released him on $0 cash bail, but fixed the argument on the writ for yeulerdn{ mornh:’x. Judge Cook yester :ar refused to grant the writ and remanded Cordes into cus- tody. He appeared before Judge Mogan for sentence, but Attorney Coffey asked hat sentence be delayed till next Wednes- ay, as Ne wished to bring forward wit- nesses to testify as to Cordes’ good char- acter. The Judge remarked that in his then frame of mind he would give Cordes the full limit, as he had no sympathy with ‘‘mashers’” who insulted women. The defendant had nypenred in court in an fatoxicated condition and wanted to run the court. The Judge fixed his bonds in $1500, but at the request of Attorney Kelly, who appeared for the prosecution he reduced them to $1000. —_———— Teeth extracted without pain, a spe- cialty. Dr. T. S.

Lidgens at 18% Fifth street, and, finding no one around, quietly appropriated the nickel-in-the-slof machine and started down the street with it under his arm. The proprietor, how- ever, witnessed the double disappearing act from the back room and started in pursuit. He was later joined by Police Officer Lynch, and the twain easily cap- tured Ridge, burdened as he was with his plunder. The man who was so infatuated with machines that he wanted one to take home was taken to the City Prison and the word ‘“burglary” now stands next his name on the prison register. ————— Advances made on furniture and pianos, with or without removal.

Was Executive Officer of the Olympia at Manila and Pays Glowing Tribute to His Com- mander. Lieutenant Corwin Pottinger Rees ar- rived on the America Maru on Friday and 1s now at the Palace with his wife and son. Lieutenant Rees has been for three and a half vears in the Asiatic station and served .two partial cruises on the Monocacy and the Olympia. He was ex- ecutive officer of the latter vessel, and during the battle of Manila was on the bridge with Dewey part of the time. He superintended the firing of the battery, and says that the nearest projectiles from the enemy on that eventful occasion came within three feet of his head. These cut part of the rigging and shrouds, while others struck close to his feet. Taken all in all he was in a dangerous position and was glad to get out of it The lieutenant is exceedingly modest as to his participation in the battle, but is Joud in his praises of Admiral Dewey and the great, part he played in the memorable bombardment. “Dewey’s fame,” he says, “is unique in that it is unlike that of any one living or AND HIS FOURNIER To-Morrow destroyed the enemy, he saved ev?rylhln‘ ; prized—every vessel, ever Bt o “avers gun under his command. He was the incarnation of battle until victory perched upon his masthead, and ther he became the sphinx of thought and the embodiment of diplomatic wisdom. He léd the battle in time of war and he com- pelled acquiescence in his interpretation of law for the preservation of peace and neutrality. “Why did Admiral Dewey assume the tremendous risk of winning all or losing all in a single day? Why did he shoulder the responsibility of staking everything on the cast of a single die?
