his heart.

Fritz Kreisler is good and Mrs. Kreis-
Ter is his prophet, as they would say in
the land of Mohammed. However there .
NAV be superprophets in the family of
even a great violinist if the following .
story is an augury:
Kreisler was giving his first recital of /
the season in Carnegie hall, and his /
usual hordes of followers and admirers .
were on hand with ears open to inspira- J
tion and hands surcharged with Gus |
! tCm-made applause.
He finished his first few numbers and .
/ withdrew to the artists room for self .
! communion and rest. From the ranks .
| Of the audience hurriedly rose tall, .
| majestic female who made for the bot
! tom of the stairs leading to the little .
| keep where Kreisler held forth in state.
you can't pass here" said the at
tendant on guard, whose duty it is to
| keep matinee idOlaters from embarrass-
! ing and sWamping the artists. NO
| body can see Mr.. Kreisler now"
What" rose a full resonant female .
voice in amazed protest. Cant see .
Kreisler! Ne? Ne? 1? Me? Why, I.
I'm his mother-in-law." And she swept .
past the stunned and withered attend
ant.
/ In addition to being n tenor in the
Manhattan opera company, Domenico .
| Russo is the father of a 2-year-old ath-
! letic and artistic prodigy. Mr.. Russos .
! Judgment on the merits of his son is .
/ free from parental h-'perbole, for the
| boy is really a child Of unusual parts. /
Moses Russo has now just passed the .
proud age Of two years, ;.nd is follow
| ing fast in his fathers footsteps in /
many ways. Like Russo, sr, he can /
| handle the rapier, box, Cance act and .
do gymnastic feats to a degree remark /
able in q child of his years.
To a guest at the Russo household, ,
on One Hundred and Eighth street, the .
boys performance is likely to prove .
no less than startling. The nervous
one begins to wonder about the avail
ability Of the nearest hospital when the |
| little fellow runs around the room
carrying five-pound hatirons in each
hand The OnlOoker regards the boys .
little pink toes and expects to see them
crushed the next moment by the fall .
of the heavy weights, supported by
tiny hands which seem incapable Of
| holding them
! Moses also does some original dances
along, Maud Allan and Loie Fuller
lines. II is funny to watch his acting
as he endeavOrs to sing "Ridi Pag
| liacci," especially in his efforts to ap-
