This is not so much a review as it is a positive mention of Thomas in a column about recent musical activities of popular musicians.

"Of Mr. S.B. Mills, the favorite American pianist, and Mr. Theodore Thomas and his justly celebrated orchestra, it is unecessary to speak. Their position in the world of art is too well known to need comment."
