FARMVILLK, VIRGINIA
JOHN POWELL AT THE NORMAL
RESULTS OF THE ELECTION
As the editor of the Farmvtlle Herald is fond of remarking, New York grows more like Karmville every day. The latest illustration of this fact is the approaching concert to be given by John Powell in the Normal School Auditorium at 8:30 P. M.. April 10. At first Mr. Powell expected to make the trip from New York expressly to help our Student Building Fund, but since this engagement was made, he has accepted an invitation to play in Texas, and will continue Southward when his evening here is over. The students are having presented to them a most unusual opportunity of listening to one of the world's greatest musicians it will be truly unfortunate for anyone to fail to be present at this concert. The Karmville papers have printed interesting articles about Mr. Powell. The Leader says: Born and educated in our capital city of Richmond, later receiving his B. A. from our, own University and made a meinher of the; United Arts Cluh and Phi Beta Kappa, he; studied music under l.eschetizky in Vienna and, made his dehut in Berlin in 1907, at the age of I twenty-five. Since then he has played for royalty and is not without honor in his own country. Four years ago he came hack to America. Since that time his has been a steady march along the road that leads to success. From seeking engagements he has reached the point where he can not fill all those offered him. Surely Karmville is fortunate in securing him for a

concert John Powell's prowess as an athlete is the theme of the Herald's article: If he had not developed into a pianist of the first rank, his name might have adorned the sporting papers as a wrestler of note. Since the days of his European schooling, wrestling offered Sir. Powell the means of keeping in the hest of physical condition. From the long and fatiguing hours of musical concentration, he found in this oldest of s]K>rts mental and physical relief. But John Powell is a serious young man, and he went at the husincss of recreation with the same intensity with which he assailed the heights of Fugue and counterpoint, and with the same result. Not long ago a prominent metropolitan writer of things musical claimed that Mr. Powell could handle the intricacies of the sonata form with a skill at least equal to the hest of his contemporaries. George Bothner, on the other hand, ex-champion middle-weight wrestler, claims for! |ohn Powell a similar skill with the haiinncrlock and the half nelson. Mr. Bothncr's one regret is that Mr. Powell forsook s|>ort for great art.
