KUB[L|k GIVES
FULL MEASURE
Adds Two Selections When
Audience Demands Them
and Plays With Grace
STRONG IN MELODIES
Return Is Marked by Warm
Tokens of Admiration
on Part OF His Hearers

KubeIik pleased his audience at the
Tivoli yesterday afternoon so greatly that
encores caused the addition of two Sc
lectieas to the regular programme Miss
Eyre did so well with study in the
form of vaIse by Saint -Saens that she
also was honored by a demand for an
other number The house was not en-
tirely flied but the representation of mu-
steal San Francisco was nevertheless
strong and the number present would be
considered a large attendance at any or
binary attraction.
Kubelik is so completely a master of
the violin that it can hardly be said that
he has what are known as ''of days"
The fuency OF his execution and the
prompt response of his mental faculties
to the demand insure a satisfactory result
on any occasion But if there is any fair
basis of comparison when the difference
in compositions on several programmes
Implies radically unlike moods it may be
said that Kubelik was more fully in
sympathy with all he undertook yester-
day than on any previous appearance in
San Francisco.
He was ct his best so far as may be
Judged. He stood before his audience
nonchalantiy, playing pizzicatos with his
left hand while carrying Simultaneous
legato melody; he piled up octaves in
runs: continuous. trills that ran with all
imaginable smoothness as perfect embel
lishnents; illustrated the ease of hars
monies rnarvelousIy from his point of
view and dexterfty and his bowling
reached the seeming limit of possibilities
With the addition of two encore pieces
Kubelk had strenuous afternoon of
A.
minor by Bruch, which has three move
ments-preIude. adagio and finale. Then
he came to a "Rapsodie Piemontese" by
Sfn1gaglia and a WieniawslEi polonaise in
A major; then performed a cluster of
selections that included a melody by
Tschaikowsky a study in E major by
Paganinf and Mel Cor piu non mi
Sento'' also by Paganini. The first re-
sponse 70 an encore divided the pro-
gramme about midway The last extra
selection was added at the end of the
programme. The audience remained
without exception to the end and hum
grily wished for more.
Az NAV be inferred from the range of
authors and the varying nature OF the
compositions KubeIik found opportunity
to reveal again not only his ability as a
mere virtuoso, but his clear and logical
Indicate the breadth of his reading and
the catholicity of his moods. The Pag-
anfni nunIsers had the tender grace OF a
day that is dead; the Wieniawski pol
onaise glittered with modern luster and
was eminently satisfying TO seekers for
the cheerful, with the addition OF album
daut melody. The best example of can
ia bile playing was the Tschaikowsy num-
ber which was the essence OF song
placed on the violin's tuneful strings
If there was any element left out OF
the programme it was that of intense
passion, typified by the successive piiins
of masses OF sound to produce an ulti-
mate climax But all the gentler MOODS
wera in evidence in pits of scherzo play
ing. in the glfse of concerto, in violin
lyrics that sang their way straight TO the
hearts OF auditors Ludwig Schwab was
clever at the piano. The number that
Miss Eyre interpreted most sauslactor-
ily was a Chopin nocturne, whicn was
given with much tenderness, neatness ana
deIieacy of phrasing and with me IN
tonation.
KubeIik will give his last concert al
