Kreisler's Recital.

Fritz Kreisler, the great vfolinist, VINO
is making a tour of America under the
direction of c. A. Ellis. Of Boston, VIII
he heard in recital at the New National
Theater Thursday afternoon OF this
week. at 4:3o o'clock. under the local
management Of Mrs. Wilson-Greene.
Mr.. Kreisler is one of those rarely
gifted men for whom success was GER
tain whatever line of work he might
have followed. His position among vio-
linists Of our time is, to say the least,
second to none. In deciding to devote
himself to the violin. If the testimony
of such a man as Harold Bauer Is to
be believed, there was lost to the world
in Kreisler an equally great pianist. In
fact, he Is still an admirable pianist
and only a few years ago he appeared
in London in such a capacity In con-
cert Of chamber music. He had a bril-
liant career in Vienna when a youth. as
a student of medicine. His father Is
famous physician and Fritz. had he con-
tinued his work in medicine, undoubted-
ly would have become one Of the great
men of the world in that profession.
When he was working with Massart In
Paris he incidentally found time to go
to the Beaux Arts and work at paint
ing and his fellows who were then with
him say that he showed a very decided
talent in that line.
The interesting feature OF this versatil
ity is that it has not resulted in a scat
tering OF his talent. If genius has a
for work, Kreisler Is certainly
a genius OF highest class. He is never
idle It was not unttl-1Sa3 that he de-
cided finally to make the violin his
career.
