chief interest. Besides the brilliant
gifts of the violinist there are other
features that make these concerts
among the most important OF a season

San Francisco. The presence Of an
orchestra makes possible programmes
that are only most rarely to be heard
here. Many of the most important vio-
lin composition will be given at the
first concert tomorrow evening, for
example the Bach concerto In E major
(No. p, with organ accompaniment.
and the Beethoven concerto in d ma

under the direction OF Paul Steindorff
for several weeks. 1t will be directed
by Jules de Befve, conductor OF the
Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra at

San Francisco one, and we have seen
many notable things done by such be-
fore. There is every reason to expect
the best in this case. Mr.. Steindorff
has given much time and energy to

to be a conductor of exceptional gifts.
