Tales of Theatre.

Now York Times: For some time
past there have been predictions OF
excitement over the violin playing of
Il ten-year-uId boy, Flurizei. Last
night he appeared at Carnegie hall
and was heard by a numerous anu
wondering audience. That the child
has extraordinary talent was demon
strated fully by his performance of
Nieuxtemp'S T. major Concerto. He
played upon violin of threc-quarter
size. OF the purity and excellent
quality of the tone only praise can he
written. The boys bowling was free
and vigorous. and in all his playing
there was a dashing, assured freedom
which showed the confidence of "A real
talent His staccato was clear and
incisive. and his spiccato excellent.
His double stopping was accurate.
His feeling for rhythm and his intelli-
gent accentuation showed the pos
session of true musical gifts. In
short. FIorizel is child with great
possibilities.
