Renee Chemet, who is giving a violis recital at the King's Theatre at 9.30 pm, on Friday next. Her London' and Paris critiques aloen show how enthusiastically she is received in the great musical centres.

Chemot has established a sound reputation not na purveyor of fireworks, though hor teetrique is perfect, but as a musi cian, a player of the romantic type, with all the virility associated with male virtuosos.
