FRITZ KREISLER,
THE VIOLINIST,
WILL BE HEARD

Possibly THE event OF the musical
season-pure and simple-takes place
this week in the coming OF Fritz Kreis-
Ter, violinist. II the critical atmosphere
goes for anything at all. it spells Kreis-
ler as the violinist extraordinary in
every sense. There is no flavor in IL OF
the slight contempt with which all the
marveling at the glittering virtuosity
of Kubelik was tinged. There are no
reserves of any kind Technically,
Kreisler seems to go without saying.
Musically. he appears to satisfy every
desire. His range of sympathy seems
OF the broadest; his repertoire Is exalt-
ed as IL Is varied The calloused Lon
doner, with his seventy concerts a week
to choose from, raves like school girl
over the Kreisler tone; chops out a new
vocabulary to fit his sense OF the Kreis-
Ter magnetism, and yet another TO exalt
the magnificence OF his readings.
If the season has dealt rather shah
billy with the fiddlers so far-and it has
everything points TO the fact that in
Kreislers coming they will be fully
compensated. He gives here three con-
certs. on next Wednesday and Friday
evenings and at the Saturday matinee,
