of his violin recitals in Los Angeles
last night at Simpson auditorium anu anu
had the satisfaction Of playing before
an audience which completely filled the
house. Musically, Kubelik's listeners
were of most discriminating taste, ana
the artist was at his best In an at
mosphere where the utmost syInpatMS
existed between himself and his audi

The program was selected to display
every phase of virtuousity, from the
brilliant Spohr concerto with Whlch the
recital opened to the exquisitely modu-

Traumerei, which was the concluding
encore number of the evening.
Other selections played We're
"Hayanaise," Saint-Saens; "Scherzo-
| Tarantelle," Wienawski; Scene a Ia
Czarda," Huba; "Serenade Melan-
cholioue," Tschaikowsky, and Cam
PAMELA" Paganini. beside three encore
numbers, the "Traumeref' ALREADY
mentioned, Zephyr" Hubay, and "Ave
Marie" Schubert-W WilhelmJ
Kubelik was matchless in the lnter-
pretation and rendition of every selec,
tion, and the audience was lnslsten'
after each number, for the reappeal'
ance of the artist. A..
Herr Ludwig Schwab played the
piano forte accompaniments for the
artist. He has splendid artistic per

every effort which the artist makes
| Mdlle Bertha Roy played two plano
solos, a Bach-Liszt fugue and varies
and the first movement of the SAINT
| Saens concerto in G minor. For the
latter she received hearty applause and
