Mr. Editor. I desire to write for The

so I am sending you a letter. I feel
that you will treat me fairly with re

paper. I can write news items, gen

interest, magazine reviews and book
notices. And while I will, of course,
want what I write printed, I will al

Otherwise we should not have been
able to procure Mr. Perry at all, since
every other date during his entire
tour was filled.
Will Brin a His Own piano.
Mr. Perry carries with him and in
advance of him, a staff of five or six
men. He sends an advance agent
ahead to make arrangements for his
concerts, employs a press agent and
treasurer, and carries a stenographer.
But most important of all is his piano
agent, for Mr. Perry insists above all
else on being sure of having the best
l>ossihle instruments for every one of
his concerts. For this reason he is
obliged to carry a concert grand
piano with him from town to town.
It is also necessary to engage the ser
vices of a man whose duty it is to
see that this piano is properly boxed,
expressed, carried to the concert
hall, set up and tuned at each place
before the concert. So Gaffney will
not only be sure of having a remark
able pianist here, but will also have
the satisfaction of knowing that he
will be heard on one of the finest
pianos made,—a concert grand con
structed by the Knabe Piano Com
pany especially for Mr. Perry.
A Pupil Of Great Masters.
Mr. Perry’s first studying was done
under Junius Hill, of Wellesley Col
lege, Massachusetts, but he soon de
cided that European study was a
necessity, and he went abroad, and
was fortunate in being taken into the
classes of Clara Schumann, wife of
the great master Schumann, and her
self one of the greatest teachers of
piano.. But it was when he was
finally able to procure instruction un
der the great Franz Liszt himself that
Mr. Perry felt absolutely satisfied.
He is perhaps the only pianist of
American birth now before the pub
lic who can claim to have been a pu
pil of the great Liszt for several
years.
Lecture-Recital.
On his final return to this country
Mr. Perry entered a field of work
that was at that time entirely unique.
Realizing that music, especially piano
music, w^s held in light esteem by
a large part of the public, and that
the student and the musical amateur
had few opportunities to get down to
the real meaning of things musical,
he outlined the plan of the lecture-re
cital. That this has been a valuable
addition to the features of musical
education and enjoyment, is proven
by the fact that nearly every pianist
who can muster a command of good
English,—as well as a good many passengers.

The audience that assembled at the
Acamdemy of Music last night to
witness the presentation of “A Cow

and hearty applause given that the
performance “caught on” and that the
play wag appreciated.
The performance was given under
the direction of Mr. Perce R. Benton
and it is a story that has to do with
cowboy life in Texas, and to the sen

is added a pretty live love story o?

thrilling scenes and many elements
of comedy, the work of Mr. Benton
as the lawyer Bowlar, being rich in

The play is lively throughout and

easily judged from the oft repeated
