“The complimentary concert to be given for the benefit of Mr. Frederick Mollenhauer, the blind violinist and composer, is deserving of mention. It is given under the auspices of Anschütz, Carl Formes, S.B. Mills, C. Bergmann, and a host of others, and will, I trust, prove a most successful effort for the unfortunate beneficiary.”
