Kubelik appeared In concert III ne"
York. Nov, 10. He was to have play
ed there Dec. %, but the Sunday lid
was on then, and no house OF amuse-
ment or entertainment was OPEN
TABERNACLE TOO BIG.
The artist was found on his private
car this noon. and seemed glad to see
Salt Lake again. He remembered very
well his appearance In the tabernacle
two years ago, but thought the audi
torium was too large for him 10 APP
pear TO advantage, the immensely OF
the space making the tone of so small
an instrument as a violin sound thin
when played alone. He believed he
could be heard more TO advantage IN
a smaller auditorium. Me. kupelk
looks in better health than when mere
previously. The artist has a large col
lection of costly violins. four OF which
he has with him In this country; VIZ,
a Stradivarius 06sO, a Guarnarius,
QT27). Guadagnini (1753), and an
Amati Q659). He will play on the
first mentioned instrument tonight
AMERICA, FOR AMERICA.
In response to questions, the artist
expressed his qualification at nnding
the musical tastes of the American
people so steadily and rapidly improv-
ing. They are demanding higher
grade OF both composition and per-
Torrance than ever beforehand are
willing to pay for 1t. He thinks that
in 90 years the standards Will be so
raised and the amount OF the nlshese
grade talent in this country be so
| abundant that American music stu
dents will no longer go to Europe tqr
| their educations; but that on the con-
| trary. European students Will be conf
| ing to America. Mr.. Kubelik has not
| ed with satisfaction the increase OF
| high grade orchestras in the United
i
| par with those OF Berlin and Vienna
| Philharmonic and the Dresden Opera
| house orchestras.
NEVER USES SCORE,
1t is interesting to note that Mr.. Ku-
belik never plays with the score be-
| fore him, He has memorized 100 COM
| positions, and says that when he re-
| turns to America four years hence ne
will have a repertoire in his mind OF
| over 200. While active in concert work,
he does not practise much. but be
| tween times praotises four TO six hours
| a day. The artist expressed regret
| that the Genoese municipality persists
| in keeping Paganini's favorite violin III
| the glass case, and will not allow II
| to be played upon, as the worms have
| begun TO get at 1t. and before long
| the wonderful instrument will go TO
| pieces He also expressed his doubt
| as to the claim made by certain Eu-
| ropean violin manufacturers that they
| had rediscovered the secret of the mar
| velous tone Of the old Italian violin
| masters In fact, he did not believe
| this could ever be reproduced by mod
| ern makers.
He appears this evening at the flrht
| Methodist church.
