There must be something in sport
ing blood that produces the musical
temperament when the two most taxi
ented of young American musicians,
Geraldine Farrar and Albert Spald-
ing, are both the children of famous
baseball players. The distinguished
soprano is the daughter of Sid G..
Farrar, long member of the Phila-
delphia Nationals, and the greatest
of American violin virtuosos is
the son Of AL. G. Spalding, whose ca
reer and fame are too well known for
repetition here.
Mr.. Spalding is a violinist of the
most extraordinary technical powers.
He has a beautiful sensuous tone,
great warmth of conception, joined
with comprehensive mentality
which enables him to put these quail
ties to the best use.
Spalding has in his artistic make
up that which appeals to both lay
man and professional; his warm,
singing, soulful tone will always
please a miscellaneous audience,
while his mastery of the violin, his
sterling musicianship and his exqui-
site taste in all things pertaining to
Interpretation must win the admira-
tion of connoisseurs. Spalding's
technique is highly developed; it is
fluent. it is reliable and clean cut
/ What makes Spalding's art partic-
ularly attractive are the above men
toned qualities of his round, noble,
ringing tone, which recalls Will
helmj's, and a temperament filled
with youthful freshness.
Albert Spalding was born in Chi
cago in 1888, and began his studies
at an early age with Professor Chit
in Florence, where he lived in the
winter, studying in the summer in his
own country with the Spanish master.

only differences are that the burglars
