WISMER Is HEARD
IN GREEK THEATER
Rendition of Beethoven's
Trio in G Minor Charms
a Very Large Audience

BERKELEY, Oct. II. = Cloudless
skies, day of almost perfect beauty
and surroundings calculated to inspire
musicians and lovers of music with ap-
probation of such melody as great
artists provide, served as a setting for
the Sunday afternoon concert today in
the Greek Theater. An audience that
filled the spacious theater heard Hother
Wismer, the violinfst, Arthur Weiss
and Frank Sidney Wrinch in a pro-
gramme of unusual charm and beauty.
The programme included the Trio in
minor Cop. l, No. 81 of Beethoven.
The Greek Theater seemed peculiarly
adapted for the playing Of this great
number OF Beethoven. ITS melody, ex-
Quisite as the soft soughing of winds
when the tree tops are stirred, yet Sc
we're and simple, as the music of the
master inevitably is at moments, held
the Sunday afternoon throng enrap-
tured as the number progressed and
the trio Of artists gave expression to
the thought of the great composer.
Four movements were included in the
piece, the allegro, andante cantabile
con variazione, menuetto quasi allegro.
finale, prestissimo. Each was a gem
Of purest ray, sparkling with light, as
though cut clean by the hand of
genius.
Wismer's art found happy medium in
the music of Beethoven. Always a
master Of the violin, sure ever of the
ground upon which he ventured. Wis
mer gave added proof of his right to
be classed among the greatest of those
who have essayed production of the
music of Beethoven to audiences in this
part OF the country. He was ably Sec
onded by Weiss and Wrinch. who have
been heard with pleasure by exacting
music lovers and critics of art and
music. The programme in its entirely
was perhaps the most ambitious yet
given for the Sunday afternoon music
in the Greek Theater, and justified the

: OAKLAND, Oct 14.-Only the Oak
land Club OF all the city's clubs was
strenuous enough to hold an afternoon
this week, and Il was as quaint and
old-fashioned and sweet as lavender
and musk roses. 1t was presided over
by Mrs. Mary Tracy Mott, one of the
most venerable and delightful of the
clubs many members. A review of the
stories from the pen Of Alice Grown, a
writer of ideal bits of realism was
given by Mrs. Mott, and extracts of

she responded to a cordial encore It
might be forgiven IL the interest of the
afternoon was. centered on Miss Helen
Mesow, who Sang several selections,
quite winning the hearts of the club

tractive girl. Her singing borrows
pathos from the fact that she is blind.
She Is possessed of voice of winning
sweetness.

made the delightful theme on Tuesday
when the members of the Shakespeare
section entertained the members of
the Twentieth Century Club at their
October meeting In the attractive
clubhouse In Berkeley. Mrs. Julia B.
Foster was chairman OF the after
noon, and 1t Is under her capable mind
that this section has been able to do
such splendid work in the past. After
a brief resume of the play the Twen-
tieth Century Choral Club sang selec-
tion, the words OF which were an ex-
tract from the Shakespearian comedy.
The Mendeissohn music from "The

by the strife OF the two editors of the

in chief of the STANFORD Sequoia, the
literary paper, and D. H. Cliff, the
head of the Chaparral, the college Joke
book, are at swords points and in spicy
editorials call each other names, run
ming from common idiot" to thief"
The first burst of the storm was re-
corded last Thursday evening, when a
special edition OF the Sequoia, four
pages in all, appeared upon the cam
pus and was scattered broadcast The
pamphlet stated the issue was placed
before the students to make known to
the public the fact that ON the NOR
row the Chaparral would appear with
self-same poem as therein contained.
with the difference that the butt of the
Chaparral piece would be Heron OF
the Sequoia. The Sequoia took Gift
as its butt. The Sequoia furthermore
stated that Cliff had stolen the proof
of the SeQuoia and that the special
edition had been resorted to to stall
his knock"
The Chaparra1 appeared as predicted
in the Sequoia the night before, with
the same epic.
