the ninth inning. Two men were out
and the Braves had a man on first and

the game. Hap" LET the first one

never said n word to Myers then. and
Myers ducked out of the clubhouse
and went home thinking Stalllngs had
overlooked the bunt-Out,
But StaIllngs hadn't.
The next morning found Stallings
Mt Myers home. Myers had just got
ten up.

atrical fashion the Field minstrel show
holds its own because it does not de-
part radically from the old type of
its kind; it offers a very generous
dollars worth of fun, music and
dancing. and it IS kept up to a high
standard of merit that is lacking in
any other minstrel show now on the
sing. They may never be in demand
by Gatti-Cazzazza for the Metropoli-
tan, but they fill the bill when it

David Hoclxstein. Who Appears at
Washburn Chapel Wednesday.

David Hochstein played a program
at Bechstein Hall which served to
display his command of a brilliant
quality of tone, particularly in pas
sage work, and a clean and confident
technique. His Interpretation of
Bruch's d minor concerto and a Bach
Sonata had great intelligence and
tonal beauty" is a recent comment
from the London Times, while the
Musical News of that city says. His
technique is extraordinary, artificial
harmonics coming out with a fullness
and perfection we have never heard
excellcd."
The Vienna Sonn-und Montags
Courier said that David Hochstein
astonished his audience by the won
derful beauty of his tone, his flawless
technique and emotional playing. In
Bach's solo Sonata his broad classical
style revealed the thorough, serious
musician
For Bach's masterpieces an art
which is beth understood and spirit
ually realized, IS required Hoch-
stems rendition of the G minor
sonata was pure joy. 49,.
Hochstein may well be reckoned
among the few great artists of his
time" is an excerpt from the Vienna

When David HOchstein, the Young
violinist who will appear at Washburn

America last year, he left behind him
in Europe the memory of a brilliant
and finished artist and the unanimous
praise OF the continental critics. In
New York and Boston, where he gave
several ~ccitals, the most prominent
critics in America reiterated the opin-
ions of their European colleagues.

first in ten years, and he came to
New York where he spent a winter of

metropolis. 1t is estimated that his
winters holiday cost Elman over two
hundred thousand dollars.
Elman has played all over the civ
