The Kneisel Quartet.

The Schonberg SeXtet, in d minor,
Oh. 4 (Verklarte Nacht), which Will
be PLAYED By the Kneisel Quartet at Its
first concert at Aeolian Hall, on Tues
day evening. March ,, is new ito New
York audiences. The later Schonberg
he of the quartet and other compost
tions that have been heard here, seems
TO have little relation to the composer
of 1899. At the recent performance OF
the seXtet in Chicago, where IT MADE
tremendous success, one critic wrote:
"There was a splendid melodist lost 20
the world at the time when Arnold
Schonberg became obsessed with the
idea of modern freedom in compost
ton and forsook his old idols for the
new" The balance of the programme
will consist of the Brahms Quartet IN
A minor. Op. 81, No. 2; a repetition
by request, Of two movements from the
Kodaly quartet, which was heard at
the first concert this year, and the
Boccherini cello quintet in { major;
The assisting artists will be Samuel
Gardner, viola, who took Mr.. Lett
Mace as second violin when he was de.
tanned in Germany at the beginning OF
the season, and Lyman Eisenberg' vlo-
loncello.

there seems no immediate prospect OF

There is much nonsense talked
about scenic invcstiture. Il is impos-
sible to be truly realistic, and, after
all. why should we be? The theatre is
essentially false, and II upon me
stage we produce the effect of illusion
and OF beauty. that is all that we can
expect. in the theatre there is room
for the dreamer. but the practical
brain must control. and the opera,
convention in itself. must not spend IT'S
force in striving after the unattain-
able. feel that the stage efects al

mirable. and. as have said. when IN
IRRESPONSIBLE painting IS permissible,

Chamber music as an accessory 10
comedy is the most recent Broadway
innovation. It promises TO be par
ticularly happy one, for when the cur
tain rises on Monday night next at
tie Maxine Elliott Theatre, where the
English actress, Phyllis Neilson-Terry,
is to present a revival of Anthony
Hopes romantic comedy, "The Adj
ventures of Lady Ursula" it will do
so to the strains of an overture played
by three we'll known concert artists
upon instruments which conform to
the period of the action of the play.
There will be both incidental and
cntr'acte music, which has been partly
arranged from old English tunes ard
roundelays, and partly from the com
positions of Percy Granger, which,
too, partake of this character. Mr..
Granger has personally reset his
works to fit the trio, which consists
Of harpsichord, viola da gambia and
flute, and which will be played by
Miss Pclton-Jones, Paul Kefer and
Roscoe Possell.
