ANTON KASPARS RECITAL-The
violin recital given by Mr.. Anton Kaspar
at the Church Of Our Father Saturday
night attracted a large audience to that
ediice Mr.. Kaspar has been absent from
Washington for the past three years, en-
ploying the time In study abroad. and
Saturday nights recital was the first OPP
pcrtunity he has given his friends to
Judge whatever improvement he might
have made in his work. Mr.. Kaspar was
assisted by Mr.. F. H. Weber, lyric tenor;
DR.. Anton Gloetzner, and the Wilhelmj
Club, under the direction Of Mr.. Josef
Ksspar. The affair was a most enjoyable
one in every sense, and each number was
accorded the full and hearty praise that
it deserved. Mr. Kaspar played Vieux-
temps Grand Concerto. in D minor, in
three movements: "Traumerei," from r.
Wuersts Russian Suite, and Hausers
Hungarian Rhapsody earning for his
burst Of applause. such as has seldom
been heard in the church in which the
recital was given. Mr.. Kaspar displayed
the Improvement he has made in his work
In many ways, one of the most enjoyable
features in connection with his playing
being the fact that he forced his audi
ence to feel that he was thoroughly In
touch with his instrument, and that he
felt and knew the meaning Of every tone.
He secured an emphatic encore for the
first number and but for the length Of
the program, which forbade further en-
cores, would have received such recognition
at each appearance. He showed the great
est amount of improvement in his tech
Dique, which was as faultless as one could
desire. while the tone which he drew from
his instrument was at all times full and
round. sweet beyond expression and won
derfully sympathetic. Mr.. Weber sang
three numbers, scoring in all Of them
large amount of enthusiastic applause.
Mr.. Weber possesses a strong voice. true
to tone, but at times rather muff1ed and
ragged. The Wilhelmj Club played three
numbers and accompanied Mr.. kaspar in
gave evidence of a great amount Of care
and work in drill, and made a most credit
able showing, especially in the first num-
Der, Krugs ''Liebes Novellc," which was
were most satisfactorily accompanied by
DR.. Anton Gloetzner, whose fine work
showed out especially in the accompani-
nent to the Hungarian Rhapsody" play
ed by Mr.. Kespar.

MANSFIELD'S SALE.-Richard Mans
fields sale Of seas and boxes begins at
the Columbia tomorrow Tuesday) morn
ing instead of Thursday morning, as is
ordinarily the case. 1t seems almost in
evitable that there will be enormous
sale. This great actor pays a significant
compliment to Washington in appearing
here twice this season. Although this has
been the NEST phenomenally prosperous
season he has known, it is indicative of his
cresceant Importance that managers bid
ding for him have beer able to bid more
for his return than his first engagement.
Washington wants him back. Boston will
have him for a return run directly after
he leaves here, and then he goes at once
to New York for the third time this year.
Next year he will play in only twelve
cities.
