n NE of the shortcomings of the man.
ayers of musicians who have vis-
" tied Los Angeles has been the Sc
lection of pianos unsuited to the partlc-
ular kind of vocal or instrumental selec-
tions for which they are used. Famous
violin soloists frequently have had their
work marred by the use of pianos which.
although usually excellent instruments,
frequently have not been suited to the
purposes to which they have been put.
This was noticeable at the Kreisler re-
cital at the Simpson auditorium Thurs
day evening. The piano is one of splen-
did tone and of the best make, and
yet could be put to much better use
for piano solos or in an orchestra than
for violin accompaniment.
Nine. Frieda Langendorff opened her
California season in Bakersfield Thurs
day. singing in Fresno Friday, and this
week will be heard in Riverside, San
Diego, at Pomona college, in Santa
Barbara and in Redlands.
Her program for Los Angeles follows:

Ihr Bid: Du bist die Ruh (Schubert).
Seit ich inn gesehen; Err der Herrlichste;
