Bauer Recital
Shows Classics
Pianist Gives Recital to De
light Large Assemblage of
Fremont Musical People.
Harold Bauer, noted pianist, pre
sented a recital in Fremont Friday
evening under the auspices of Mid
land college. ^Tlie large auditorium
of Clemmons hall was well filled with
an enthusiastic audience, which in
cluded musicians from Lincoln. Sew
ard and Omaha. Several auto parties
which had been planned were aban
doned owing to the Inclement weath
er.
Mr. Bauer played a very conserv
ative classical program, an orthodox
sort of program, entirely made up
of classical numbers. In fact. It was
the typical great artist program, with
no new number on It. But It Includ
ed many fine classics, which are tlie
backbone of musical literature, num
bers that are played and studied and
which should be known by the musi
cal public and known well.
Mr. Bauer played after the cus
tomary Bauer style, with the fascinat
ing tracery of runs, the sonorous ring
of chords and the underlying authori
ty of musical taste that one expects
from an artist of his rank. Mr. Bauer
lias much to say In a musical way.
and has the ability to transmit the
beauties he finds in the different
numbers to his hearers.
The program opened with "Partita
in B flat” by Bach, transcribed from
the harpsichord by Mr. Bauer. The
quaint old style of the original is
kept, and there was a clarity and
beauty of tone in the Interpretation
which gave each dance a new vl«
tality.
"Sonata Apoassionata.” by Beetho
ven was presented with much
breadth and variety of tone color,
and with an excellently built climax
in the finale allegro. "Fapillons" by
Sehuman, and the "Scherzo in C
sharp minor” by Chopin again dis
played the varied resources of the
artist, the full resonance of his sus
tained work and the delicacy of con
trolled but fleeting passages. “Etude
en Forme de Valse” by Saint Saens, is
a number that never loses its charm,
and under the Bauer touch and the
Bauer musicianship, It was given a
brilliant and gloriously effective In
terpretation. Mr. Bauer responded
to several encores, playing, among
others, the Chopin Minute Waltz and
"Scherzo Capprlccio" by Mendelssohn.
Mr. Bauer Is a fine musician, and
he played his program wonderfully
well Friday evening. Still, he ought
to by this time, for he has been play
ing these same numbers ever since
the present writer has been old enough
to attend concerts. H. M. R.
Store Burglars Routed.

Congressman Decides
Not to Die, After All
Julius Kahn, in Omaha on
Way to Coast, Says He
Has Changed His
Mind.
__
Congressman .Tulius Kalin of Cali
fornia, one of the oldest members of
the house, who was reported to he
returning to California “to die," de
cided during a stopover in Omaha
Saturday not to die.
Congressman Kahn suffered a col
lapse several weeks ago In Washing
ton. Reports stated that he might
not recover. Then came his announce
ment that lie was “going home to die
in San Francisco,'* a sensation in the
i
capital.
In his stateroom Saturday the con
gressman declared lie was feeling
much better, that he has changed his
mind entirely and doesn't intend to
die.

“Certainly lie doesn’t intend to die,"
interjected Mrs. Kahn. “See how
much better he looks? He’s Just been
working too bard, that’s all."
“Yes, and I'm getting old,” agreed
the white haired veteran of innumer

representing San Francisco since I
was 37 years old, and I’m 61 years
old now.
“I took care of my home city dur
ing the fire there in 1906; I repre

sition and the world war. and, by
Jove, the way I feel this morn I’ll
continue to represent it for the rest
of the term I've been elected to, at
least.

“No, when I left Washington T
didn't expect to last long, but I’ve
changed my mind."
“We've both rhanged our minds,”
smiled Mrs. Kahn, who also is white
haired and motherly. She stroked
her frail old husband's hand affec
tionately, and ho smiled contentedly,
as If the matter were completely set
