Attorney E. E. Carr attended court
at Grant yesterday.
Skovgaard, tho Danish violinist,
who is to appear at tho Christian
church noxt Tuesday stands over six
feet, three inches in height anu
weighs nearly three hundred pounds.
Physically he is a worthy decondent
of that powerful race of Vlcklngs
whose commanding statues caused a
feeling of awe oven to the sturdy
Romans of Caesar's time. Conform
ing to tho proyorablo good nature of
most largo people, Skovgaard is also
a most likable man and make friends
wherever he goes. But within his
powerful frame Is secreted a more
potent force than any which the ex.
erclse of muscle alone would produce
It is tho power to interpret the soul
of music, and from tho first stroke or
tho bow tho strings of his matchless
i Stratllvarius violin, all sense of form
and size gradually give way to a de
lightful sense of rhythm, melody,
music. Standing On the stage this
colossal Dane is only music. Each
mpvement of the body, while ho Is
playing, is nothing but music, ana
the expression on his face tells you
plainly that ho is far away from you
deep In "tho land of tunes." Skov
gaard comes to you not as a musical
novice. His training under tho great
est masters of Europe stamp him as
"a consumato musician, tho finlshea
polished, purposeful." Moreover,
Skovgaard is an artist whose powei
has had time to mature and to gain
those finer qualities of balance ana
resource of interpretation which can
como In no other way than by tho
steady developement of tho musician
hiraslf in devotion to his inborn and
chosen art.
