AMUSEMENTS, Sir Harry Lauder COMES TO THE REGENT On FRIDAY IN HIS FIRST PICTURE—“Hunting T ower” From the Novel by John Buchan A great story, beautifully told, with the genial Harry in a role that fits him like the proverbial glove. The Outstanding Concert Attraction of the Year. “It may as well be set down here and now that the-excitement of the multitude could scarcely)have been more frenetic had the object bf their worship been Mr. Ignace Jan Paderewski.” —New York “Telegram.’ Direction, E. J. GRAVESTOCK, Ltd. TOWN HALL SEPTEMBER 18 SEPTEMBER 20 SEPTEMBER 22 MR. E. J. GRAVESTOCK Has the honour to present, for the FIRST TIME IN WELLINGTON, SHURA CHERKASSKY ' The WORLD'S GREATEST BOY PIANIST WORLD’S GREATEST BOY PIANIST WORLD’S GREATEST BOY PIAbLSI WORLD'S GREATEST BOY PIANIsT Who has created such a furore in the world of music by his extraordinary talents and phenomenal piamstic ability. Although only sixteen years of age he has a technique that leaves his audience breathless from wonderment, and truly amazed before the manifestations of a power greater than they can comprehend. SHURA CHERKASSKY "Theosophists might call this boy the reincarnation of a Carl Tausig or a I ranz Liszt. I call him the greatest child artist I ever met.” New York “Evening Telegraph. “It is Shura, the boy who walks out upon the platform with child-like simplicity of manner, and an engaging naivete that ' contrasts strangely with Shura, the artist. At the'piano he becomes instantly masterful, authoritative. So enveloping, so complete is his concentration that he seems transported to another sphere, far removed from evary material consideration.” SHURA CHERKASSKY Shura Cherkassky, recently a child prodigy, now attained to manhood by .virture of his sixteen years, gave a piano recital at Carnegie Hall before a house full of enthusiasts. It may be said at once that in this boy is lodged a talent for playing the piano hardly equalled by any but one, or, perhaps, two virtuosi now before the public.” “Notwithstanding his .tender age, Cherkassky communicates first and toremost a sense of unstinted power, an unlimited reservoir of strength. . - - As tor the mechanics of the pianist s art tne boy’s mastery of his instrument is prodigious, even in these days of supertechnic.” _« Ncw York World.” BOX PLANS OPEN at THE BRISTOL ON SEPTEMBER 14.
