FRANK GITTELsoN's RECITAL
Young Philadslphian Enthusiastical-
lv Received at the Academy.

After a musician has appeared with
two symphony orchestras and In several
recitnis of his own, II may appear n rank
cynicism to refer to him as Violinlst
Of promise. The phrase may be deadly
but In the case OF Frank Gittelson, who
was heard at the Academy last night, the
only alternative is to say that he ls a
volinist without promlse--whlch la hap
ply very far from being true. Mr.. Git
tleson Just Mt present ls what brokers
call an excellent future"
When he wns hrst heard here, In an
ungrateful Balo concerto with the Phila-
delphiR Orchestra, Mr.. Gittelson revealed
certain technical powers quite beyond the
ordinary. Yesterday those powers were
given fuller scope and reafhrmed the
earlier impression, that Mr.. Gitteson has
done wisely to prepare himself so we'll
He will never have to go back to pick up
a technique with which to express what
ever he may learn to feel One technical
fault he has-ap apparent inability to
play the @ string staccato and give Il a
pure tone. II is strange that his rich
est tones should have come from this
string, which at times he abused unmercl-
fully.
To criticize Mr.. Gittelson's interpreta-
tious ls to come at once to the great
question his playing brings up. The
question whether an artist OF even the
first technical rank has the right TO play
in public until he is In the fulness OF
his mental and spiritual growth. II Is
not the province of the critic to inquire
into Mr.. Gittelson's personal affairs.
Simply as fact, 1t cannot be that MFR.
Gittelson has anything new or vital In
the way of emotional experience TO trans
nit to his hearers. He Is a very young
man. OF course. there are the terrible
precedents of the great viollnists. Mr..
Gittelson resembles Zlmablist Of n few
years ago. He may recall that Krelsler
came as boy prodigy. that Elman was
n heart -pluckinR lad when he was first
heard here. The whole tradition is
wrong and Mr.. Gittelson suffers from Il.
He is far too good violinist to be spoiled
by Il, however.
Last nights program included the
"Chaconne," by Bach, which. II has beon
suggested, should he legally reserved for
the very greatest players alone. Mr.. Git
telson played II well. with slight over
accentuation OF chords at the beginning,
The three national dances were done
with progressive improvement. Mr.. Git
teIson found himself able In the Sara
snte and Brahms TO fall In with the
rhythm. And in the andante OF his hn7'
concerto he achieved real emotion. Al
together the occasion was much more
felicltous than outside reports of Mr..
Glttelson had given reason to expect.

SPEAKS At THE
FIRST BAPTIST
TOLD OF HIS IMPRESSIONS OF
CHINA AND JAPAN AFTER A
VISIT TO THOSE COUNTRIES.

At the First Baptist church last
night. DR.. A. s. Moffett delivered a very
interesting and instructive lecture on
Impressions Of Japan and China"
In the first part Of his talk he de-
scrfoed the geographical features. Then
he spoke Of the native religious Gus
toms, one OF the most striking Of which
was the worship OF eighty million
deities in Japan. whose population is
only nifty million. Their worship of
their emperor makes patriotism q large
part Of their religion, and their nation
always prepared for war. OF the Chi
nese, he said the social scale was the
reverse. making China in favor of
peace. Their religion is mainly an eff
fort to keep evil spirits In good humor.
With the old forms Of religion in
these two countries proving unsatis-
factory, there is a strong call from
them for Christian missionaries, large
Iy because of the aid rendered China
in the famine Is years ago. Since the
first of September, the protestant mis-
sionaries have been working in har-
mony without UNCONVENTIONAL separa-
ton.
The musical program was excep-
tionally good, and consisted Of violin
solo by Miss Wolf, a vocal solo by
Miss Mabel Green, and a vocal solo by
Dr. Chas. R. Mitchell. The attendance
was also good.
