feet of Oscar Eliason I ii lther has success herself held coldly j C aloof and denied her bounties when petitioned pe-titioned by the eager hands of this 3 young wanderer in the fields of magic and mystery t Q Six years ro Eiiasou was quite unI t ic IJ rJ u H < in1 known professionally His first appearance ap-pearance in public took place March 20 18S9 at the Twentieth ward schoolhouse I school-house when Oscar Eliason in company com-pany with Paul Hammer jr F Maltese Mal-tese and several others banded themselves I them-selves together under the title of Maltese Mal-tese Hammers Minstrels Here Mr Eliason performed several feats of legerdemain and illusion which so astonished as-tonished and delighted all who saw them that after some time he was finally persuaded to adopt legerdemain as a following In so doing he did not make a mistake for he seems to have been gifted with peculiar powers that serve him well in his chosen profession profes-sion It is not another instance of the I frequent experience of men who have found themselves to have chosen badly i in settling upon a life pursuit Oscar enjoys performing illusion as much as I his audience enjoy to be deluded and some of the happiest weeks of his life I have been those spent in the endeavor to master some new fantasy Only a few years ago a young student I stu-dent in this profesion would have thought it proper to surround himself with evidences of his black and mysterious mys-terious pursuit He would have adopted some thrilling eastern title suggestive of the abracadabra India or Egypt He would have worn a fierce black moustache and a pointed goatee would have dressed oddly appeared I ap-peared abstracted and done wierd and uncanny things at all times and under all circumstances How different is Oscar Eliason in his fin de siecle methods He is exceptionally unaffected un-affected direct and frank dresses neatly without the slightest approach to loudness and until his recent return re-turn from the frozen north where he seems to have discovered something like King Solomons mines he wore no diamonds whatever A few centuries ago a young man with such gifts would have found his pathway beset with grave difficulties If he had escaped burning at the I stake he would certainly have been accused of being in league with satan Churches would have been closed against him young people would have viewed him askance and he would have been generally avoided after dark by all sorts and conditions of people That the world do move is shown by Oscars Os-cars case for he is permitted to pursue pur-sue the even tenor of his calling and mingles freely with all classes as a highly respectable young man admired ad-mired for his talents and one whose many friends wish him unbounded success M Eugene Ysaye sailed lor Europe Thursday in the Normania While M Ysaye was in San Francisco he was visited by a number of iealthy citizens citi-zens of Oakland Cal who wish to form a national conservatory of music there and desire M Ysaye to head tim faculty This was agreed to by M Ysaye if in return they would guarantee guaran-tee him five years at 100000 a year X < o settlement has been arrived at yet awhile The tour of this great violinist violin-ist was in every way a highly satisfactory I satis-factory one He came to America with the idea of giving forty concerts he gave 104 M Ysaye has refused all propositions to return to the United I States next season but expresses his intention of coming back in about two years time with an entirely new repertory re-pertory which will includo the concertos con-certos of Dindy Dvorak Lalo Brahms Faure Goldmark and the third of Bruch I |
