RECORD SINCE) IN HARRISBI HQ
ifl
Harrisburg is to again be favored
with a visit by the famous little
French pianiste, Madeleine Brard.'
Since her appearance here as soloist
with the New York Symphony or
chestra last November, this little lady
has added one sensational success
upon another, having- been soloist
with the leading orchestras of this:
country. This fact alone shows the!
approval with which the dis
tinguished orchestral conductors of;
this country regard this phenomenal'
child.
In every city in which Mile. Bra.'d
has appeared as soloist with orches
tra a demand by_ the public to hear
her in recital has* been the rule, as is
the case in our own city. Harrisburg
is fortunate in securing this sterling
little artist for a return engagement,
as this is the last date her manager
was able to book, her time being en
tirely tilled by engagements in this
country until she sails for her own
native France in the latter part of
February.
Since Mile. Brard visited here, she
has appeared as soloist with the De
troit and Cincinnati Symphony or
chestras. two concerts with the Now
York Philharmonic orchestra and
four concerts with the New York;
Symphony, and one apoearance with
the Boston Symphony in the city of
Boston, with a return engagement
with this organization in the now
year.
This gifted little girl is booked for
a tour through the Middle West and
goes as far south as Florida. She
will also he heard again in some
cities in Canada, before leaving for
France.
A prominent vocal soloist of New
Yo'rk will share the program with
Mile. Brard. the announcement of
which will be made later. The con
cert will occur the night after
Christmas in Technical High School.
December 2<, at S:t r o'clock. Tickets
will lie oti sale at C. M. Sigler Music
House. 3') North Second street. This
concert is under the direction of Sa
lome Sanders.
Grand Jury to Act on

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
—well, I'm oblivious to that in the
midst of rehearsing.
"Rehearsing a play to-day is som?- {
thing entirely different from what it
was when 1 began to aet. In those
old days we used to run through i
plays, the business of which was ail j
more or less fixed by tradition, just
to get the 'crosses' right. Now. the
stugc director must study out just
the proper intonation of every line,
every change of tempo, invent busi
ness—all sorts of things that the!
man in tlio audience takes for grant- :
id as something that just came
naturally. 1 know- all about it. be
cause 1 am directing this production
of -The Rise of Peter Barban' myself.
One very important thing at rehears- !
als is tiie properties—the very prop
erties that are to be used in the per
formances. If a man is to carry a
cane he cught to carry the actual 1
cane at rehearsals. If a lady is go-!
ing to use a fan. she ought to be |
given the very tan she is going to i
I use at the second or third rehearsal
at least. So with everything else."

two days eager to get their chance to
e Heslsta. tile US-pound girl who
cannot be lifted from the stage. She.
has been the source of several press
stories in this city and hundreds
throughout the United States. H°r
work is simple but highly fusclnat
; ing. it is impossible for anyone to
hold her in the air.
She is only ontf of the live, headline!'

"Till: Oi l) IMMtKSTKAD"
"The old Homestead." by Penman
! Thompson, is still popu'ar with the
theater-going public of America. I'n-
I'ke the old-fasliidned type of rural
drama, built along the lines of "Way

which the ilear old mother waited for
her prodigal son with a bloodhound
in the. front yard, instead of a light
in the front window, it will be re
freshing to witness "The Old llome
