EDWARD BAXTER PERRY.
Great Pianist to Give a Recital a:
the Hub Theatre.
Edward Baxter Peiry, the American
Pianist, is going to give a Pianoporte
Recital at the Hub Theatre on Feb.
4:h, under the auspices of the Presto
Music Club of, Lenoir College. The
young people of, this club feel that
they are very fortunate in securing the
services of Mr. Perry, and we ask
that the people of our town co operate
with them to make this recital a suc
cess. This endeavor on the part of
these young people to place before*
our public so talented a musician as
Mr. Perry deserves commendation
We learn not only by study but j also
by coming in contact with men who
have made for themselves a prominent
place in the world, and such a one is
Edward Baxter Perry. Some of the
press notices are as follows:
Mr, Perry is the originator and
principal exponent of the lecture ?e
--cital idea.
He is the only blind pianist in . *he
world's history who has. succeeded in
winning an unquestioned position in
the. front rank of his profession.
He is the only American pianist
who ever played at the Imperial Comt
of Germany.
He is the only pianist, American ot
foreign, who ever sustained -himself
for ten successive seasons by concerr
playing alone in the United State*.
He is the only pianist, living 6r flea ',
of any country, who ever played-twelve
hundred concerts in ten consecutive
years* —New York Musical
Courier.
.... Mr. Perry completely won his
audience and met with a deservedly
warm reception, that grew more en
thusiastic after each number, and end
ed in numerous recalls. He has add
ed another to the limited list j>f
American successes in Berlin....
Berlin Times.
.... .Beautiful tone, finished techni
cal execution and dramatic intensity
are th? qualities which h&vj made Mr.
Perry famous among pianists.
r .... Raleigh News and Observer.
... .Too much cannot be said about
the exquisite manner in which the
program was rendered, and Mr. Perry
lit Id bis audience spell-bound from
start to finish..... —-Richncoad Times.

America are earning fifteen dollars
week. Fifteen per cent make tWOO to
13,000 a year.
