had the opportunity to Judge OF Mr..
Matthews ability for itself, although
IL was accepted belief that he was a
decided acquisition to the organiza-

'Edmund I.ichtenstein, a duo for vio-

one of the most interesting and most
beautiful things these series of con-

about Mr.. Matheys:

Belgium, in 1885. and received his
musical education in the Royal Con.

HERO OF CHOCOLATE SOLDIER
TRAINED WITH JANAUSCHEK

Forrest Hun, the chocolate soldier,
in The Chocolate Soldier company,
which comes 10 the Garrick next
week, is ready teller of tales. Many
OF them come from his stage expert
Venice and the great majority from his
association with the famous actress,
Nine. Janauschek. A rigid deciplin-
arian, she was the one who brought
cheer and comfort to the members OF
her struggling company in the midst
OF lone night stand" difficulties, and
sometimes her humor extended even
before the unseeing eyes OF her audi
ence.

fugue. His masters were Joseph
Jongen and Thee. Radoux In 1908
MATHEWS received the highest prize
for violin at the Liege conservatory
playing the first movement of the
min concerto, OF which he is the com
poser"
This brief biography in itself tells
that Mr.. MATHEWS has made good use
of his time and opportunities and that
now, in his twenty-sixth year, he has
arrived at a point in his artistic ca
reer which the majority fail to achieve
in lifetime Of effort. He plays the
viola remarkably well-so well. that
the regular attendants at these con-
certs will forever regret that he was
not heard earlier. and oftener, this
season. Mr.. Lichtenstein. too, distin-
guished himself in the Mozart number
The quartet played Serenade writ
ten by Mr. Matheys. The composition
is thoroughly modern, although fol-
lowing accepted form and proved TO
be a colorful, melodic and charm
ing number. The viola and the cello
are heard above the other instruments
at various times in an original and
pleasing manner AS both of these
instruments in the Detroit String
quartet are played by artists-Mr.
MATHEWS and Nine. Ruegger-one
could not have asked a better oppor-
tunity to hear Mr.. Matheys' work.
The quartet did splendid work in
the final number of the program.

quartet. This number was played in
a way to reflect the highest credit
upon the players. and il demonstrate
ed that the organization has reached
very secure place in the interpreta-
ton and playing of chamber music
The Hayden quartet No. 4, which
opened the program, was also we'll
played but I'm pure. musical appeal
could not equal that of the Schubert
number
Nine. Ruegger played two cello
numbers-Faure's Elegy and short
encore. At every hearing the sense
increases OF the real worth of this
artist. Her playing is a sheer delight.
Miss Alice Lydecker played effective
accomplishments.
The program will be repeated
Thursday evening.
Subscription blanks were passed to
the in-going audience. Wednesday af-
ternoon, for the time has arrived
again when the public must give
evidence Of substantial support to
the organization TO insure its contin-
uance. There Is no endowment of
any sort in connection with II and it
must be supported directly by the pub
lie Ii would be a calamity to De-
troit to lose the organization now, or,
any member of it, The city should
be proud. indeed, 10 harbor two
such splendid artists as Nine. Elsa
Ruegger and Henri Mathews.
Next season the quartet's board OF
directors plans to give a series of
five afternoon and five evening con-
certs, but with the programs quite
different instead of the same as has
been the custom the past three sea
sons. A season book of tickets, in
GLIDING afternoon and evening, has
been placed at the small sum of IS,
and season book, for afternoon or
evening alone, at 81 each. Such
prices place great deal for very
little outlay within the reach of mu-
sic lovers. II is certainly "up to" the
music lovers of the city to support
this more than excellent organiza-
ton.
