Master Technician at Yesterday
Afternoons Concert.

The return TO Washington of Jan

was greeted by a small audience at the
National Theater yesterday afternoon.
Enthusiasm. however. made up for lack
in numbers. and the young musician
was so applauded at the conclusion of
the program that he gave an extra
number
Two things were manifest I'm his per-
formance: He is a master technician
and a tone artist equaled by hundreds
of violinists the world over.
No greater demonstration of his su-
preme mastery OF his instrument could
have been given than Kubeliks reading
of the Paganini number. which he
used as an encore. Brilliancy. precIs-
ion and a quick and sure comprehen-
sion OF every phrase. every note IN the
entire composition resolved his perform
ance of this particular number into a
veritable technical triumph. II was the
best work of the afternoon.
Handlers sonata, number 4, opened the
program. The largo gave him an op-
portunity 10 demonstrate his fine tone
coloring. Again in the Ernst concerto
CPathetique) in sharp minor KubeliiI
was at home with the technical require
ments. Once or twice his harmonies
were sadly deficient
