Not Best That Could Have
Been Chosen.

NGscha Elman, a young vioInlst
" hose came abroad had been Classed
and qualified with that OF many an
other musical wonder, by a nod OF his
head and a sweep OF his bow has cap
tivated the musical public of Washing
ton
Although he was brought here as the
assisting soloist with the Boston Sym
pbony Orchestra, young Elman had the
center OF the stage yesterday afternoon
at the New National Theater in theory
as well as In fact. He tripped on after the
Strauss ''Tone Poem" and the audience
saw a boy Carelessly carrying a violin
under his arm He looked to be hardly
more than sixteen years Of age, and
his frank face, as he looked out square
ly into the audience, completely won
those in front even before he had played
a note. If the truth were known, the
audience was almost willing to permit
a few shortcomings for the sake Of tho
boyish franlzness with which Elman
challenged the men and women he fac
ed. One thought instinctively OF the
time when Josef Hoffman first appeared
several years ago, and as the opening
bars OF the Tschaikowsky Concerto in
ID mayor were played Dy tuG oEClSs-
ira, Elman stood there. anxious for the
signal that would bring his bow 10 his
strings.
A Real Artist.
When IL came. the audience heard the
deep, meIodlc tones Of the solo violin
score played. not unusually. but with
sureuess and promise, AS the minutes
went By and the succeeding score OF the
1rst movement was read. music lovers
in the theater began TO realize that.
instead of a musical prodigy, q real
artist had come across the water, and
in this boy who stood there swayiug to
every movement Of his bow. the world
had found another Kubelik. another
Ysaye.
Elmans only distinctive TnanRcrism IS
HIS restlessness. Throughout his per-
Torrance, whether playing or not. his
body swayed from side 10 side. and
when reading, ne frequently turned to-
ward the orchestra So that his back was
to the audience. Rut at the conclusion
of each brilliant passage in the con-
/ cert he would draw hts bow decisivelv
across the strings, and as ne dropped
il TO his SIDE his head would be thrown
