An exceedingly apt comment on Kreisler, the great violinist, whose only appearance here is set for Saturday night, Febru- ary 26, at the Kempner Theater, Little Rock, was made a year ago by the Boston Transcript. It said, in part:
 '"The most obvious comment upon MT. Kreisler as a violinist is that the instrument in his hands fulfills in the highest de- gree it's primal and lyric func- tion; it sings. He is so far a fashionable violinist that his finely shaded tones appeal to the musically fastidious through their very faultlessness, but to regard Kreisler merely on this basis of technical excellence would be a profound mistake. The fact that he, a Bohemian from the country of Dvorak (whom he plays enchantingly) should have studied so lovingly the technical classics of the sev- enteenth and eighteenth centu- ries indicates nature emotion ally complex. But in every case, as I have suggested, he has transfused the old masterpieces with a gypsy-like ardor, start ling, audacious and singularly lovable. In fire of the primitive, not the manufactured type, he in no way falls short of Mischa Elman as a technical performer It is an interesting fact that the pieces which seem especially to please his listeners, and which he was forced to repeat, were precisely those in which he ap- breaches, if 1 may say so, MT. Elman's fascinating pyrotech- mics. In these cases he resem-

Before beginning our trip" said
Capt. Koenig, I'VE had several weeks
OF practice in our vessel in the Baltic
sea. We left Bremen without any
ceremonies. OF course that was
necessary because the voyage was to
be kept secret.
When we got to Heligoland, we
decided that it was best to stay there
a little while. 49,

fore our arrival at the capes.
when we left Bremen we had $50
tons Of fuel oil aboard and there are
now 95 tons left in the tanks. We
had 20 tons of water when we started
and still have ten left"
Capt. Koenig was asked to explain
what devices the Deutschland had for
finding her way under water and
avoiding danger. 81
I'VE have two" he said "One is
the microphone the other sounding
apparatus. With the microphone you
can hear submarine bell buoys six
miles away and the propellers of ships
still further. By the tone of the
noise made by the screw Of a vessel
you can tell her type. A destroyer's
makes a loud hum, a cruisers is
lower./
I'm this submarine we can do
everything under the surface that we
can do on it. We can drop anchor
while submerged, cruise below the
surface four days if necessary, or lie
still on the bottom until our food and
water give out"
Capt. Koenig was asked how he
and his men employed their time
while making hte voyage.
WELL" said he. I'VE had phono-
graphs. They were a source of much
entertainment. No, we didn't have
record of 'Tipperary'"
The captain seemed to enjoy the
reference to the English marching
song.
"Of course" he continued, "all the
men smoked while they were on
deck. 1t is forbidden to smoke below
deck in a submarine. We read a lot,
too. 1 have aboard a library of 40
