LIBRARY FUND PARED
IN ECONOMY CAMPAIGN
Upkeep and Purchases Curbed,

In the effort TO economic, the city
fathers have cut the appropriation for

Lenox foundations, is not affected, but
its circulating system has been changed

forced on the branch Libraries.
Six fiction and non-tiction books may

one Of them can be a popular and new
book. These may be renewed any num-

one magazine and one libretto may be
taken for week. Special cards al

Il was said yesterday at the Fifth
Avenue library that $4,000 books were
drawn out last month, 40 per cent OF
which were fction-a far lower av-

KNEISELS PLAY
ENESCO OCTET
Give Fellow RumanIans Com
position First Production
in New York.

The Kneisel Quartet At its concert
last night in Aeolian Hall produced a
composition new TO New York, com
position By fellow countryman OF Mr..
Kneisel's. This was Georges Enesco's
Octet in c major for four violins, two
violss and two violoncellos, which was
written about eight years ago.
Mr.. Enesco, as the world knows by
now, is IA young Rumanian composer
who lives in Paris, but who, happily Tor
himself, has remained IN spirit an ar
list OF his native land. Debussy and
the modern Frenchman may have inter
ested him. and even affected him, but
they have not captured him. His soul
remains in the plains Of his mother
land.
His octet proved 70 be one Of the
most interesting works produced IN
New York concert halls during the last
few seasons. Il was too long, brevity
being apparently the most difficult OF
virtues. and there were in the last
movement one or two stretches or
dulness where the composer appeared
10 be forcing and forcing valnly his
imagination. With these exceptions
the work was one OF extraordinary IN
terest and telling power. 1t is based
on folk music, and It's rhythins, WIN
their Eastern flavor, were peculiarly
telling. Especially in the first move
ment. where the 'cellos give out an al
most continuous background of reiter-
ated rhythms. the climactic effect be-
came almost overpowering.
Throughout the octet these folk
rhythms were used 10 fine effect, being
worked up and varied with admirabl e
skill. The finale was another splendid
bit of writing, and the effect Of bizarre
barbaric strength reused the audience
10 real enthusiasm.
Assisting the quartet in this number
we're Edward Dethier and Elias Brees-
kin. violns; Louis Bostelmann, viola.
and jacques Rinard. violoncello. The
opening number was the Mozart Quar-
tet In D minor Kochel No. 42l), the
exquisite beauty Of which was brought
out by Mr. Kneisel and his three asso-
ciates with fine balance and clarity. The
programme closed with the Beethoven
Quartet in G major, Op. 1s, No. 2.
