Josef Hoffman. the pianist, and Fritz
Kriesler. the violinist. will appear at the
Columbia Theater April "a. at 4:30
Kriesler is undoubtedly one Of the great
violinists of our times. and whether he
plays Bach or the simple dainty piece OF
the Louis period or the themes OF lower
italy or Hungary he endows them with
an individuality majesty and charm that
are beyond description. He appeals to his
audience. not through any mannerisms.
but through the maturity of his art. Hof-
mann's third recital in New York was
said to be a marvellous exhibition of tone
color Every chord and every note that
he played seemed to have its distinctive
quality and to be in this respect an exact
function of the energy expended by the
musicians unerring fingers.
