THE SAVRANOFFS
Will Be the Attraction in the High School Auditorium on Thursday Night Third Number of Lyceum Program.
The third number of the Lyceum Course for 1916-17 of the Maysville Public School system will be held in the auditorium of the High School building on Thursday night beginning at 8 o'clock. The attractions for the evening will be the Savranoffs, noted Russian musicians, now touring this country.
The Savranoffs-a trio of Russian players, present a program filled with life and enthusiasm. The program includes piano, violin, cello and vocal solos and ensemble numbers-in all, covering a period of not less than one hour and thirty minutes. This company is composed of the following members: Margaret Savranoff, soprano and pianist. Leo Savranoff, violinist, and Russell Chilinski, cellist.
Mr. Savranoff is a graduate of the Imperial Conservatory of Music of St. Petersburg and is rightly described as a wonder on the violin. He delights music-loving audiences with his fantastic playing. Mrs. Savranoff is not only a piano soloist and accompanist, but also a sweet singer with a mezzo soprano voice. She presents characteristic songs of the Russian people, gives one pianologue entitled "I am glad I am in the United States." also one selection with cello obligate and, by way of diversion, one of the well-known popular airs. On the piano she plays the famous Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszt. Mrs. Savranoff also gives imitation on the piano, including the original church bell chimes, a music box, etc., also comic imitations, such as a moving picture show piano player and an amateur pianist. She will also sing one or more English songs in the Russian language. Russell Chilinski, born in Russia, came to the United States at an early age. His natural love for music soon manifested itself. He has studied the cello under some of the best teachers in this country in developing his remarkable talent.
