RUSSIAN ORCHESTRA
GIVES FINE RECITAL

There was very Indifferent at
tendance in the Garrick theater, Sun
day afternoon and evening, for the
concerts by the Russian Symphony
orchestra, of New York. The organ
ization deserved better treatment
from Detroit concertgoers. The or
chestra is made up of excellent play
ers and there is that sympathy be
tween players and director which
makes for the best results.
Conductor Modest Altschuler
planned two very attractive programs.

sian composers whose music he might
be expected TO interpret with more
than ordinary insight and ability, II
his own Russian birth and education
goes for anything. The men under
him are said 10 be Russian for the
most part, SO that the name Russian
Symphony orchestra" Is not a mis-
homer in this case.
The organization has been In De-
troit before but not as a symphony
orchestra. Mr.. Altschuler and GER
tain number OF players toured the
country a few seasons ago with the
DCu OtCtA ldy anu NhCiA P4oSiAo
of the incidental music for the Shake
spearean plays given by Mr.. Greet
enhanced the beauty OF those produc-
tions, especially in the outdoor per
formances. This season Mr. Altschul-
er has greatly increased his ranks or
players. and is competing for hear
ing with the concert public with the
other symphony orchestras OF the
country.
With the orchestra are four singers
and a violin soloist-Mme. Nina DIM
itrieff, soprano: Nine. Joel Hulse, con-
tralto: Frank Ormsby, tenor; Bertram
Schwan, baritone, and Nikola Soko-
lon, violinist, all of whom appeared
on the programs OF Sunday.
1t was TO be regretted that the aud

chestra was we'll worth hearing. Those
present were not sparing in applause.
