When Mr. Paderewski last WSr appeared in Ann Arbor jutbftore he began his meteoric career as a statesman in the strug gles of his native Poland he stated that Hill Auditorium was the finest music hall in the world. a The memory of his last Ann Arbor concert had much to do in influencing him and his New York manager in including Ann Arbor among the limited number of music centers which he . will visit this season. For years he has been the standard by which great pianists are measured and today he still ,ocupies a position at the pinnacle. Those who have heard him-in private recital in his California studio state that the muscial recess which his duties as stateman necessitated has only added greater musicianship to his artistry.
