.E|LKS' CONCERT
WASAN NOTABLE
MUSICAL EVENT
Axel skovgaard Heard Here
Last Night in Interest
ing Program.

Under the auspices of the Elks' war
relief fund a concert was given last
night at the auditorium, where Axel
Skovgaard, a Danish violinist; Mrs.
McClung Skovgaard; Marie Kern
Mullen and Sophie Stephlai delighted
an enthusiastic audience which ap>
planded time and again during the
evening.
From a musical point Of view the
must be ranked as one of the notable
events of the early part of the season,
whatever else may be offered in The
future.
Mr.. Skovgaard was heard in COM
positions Of Mendelssohn, Wienawski.
Chopin-Sarasate, Kreisler and several
others. A prominent feature Of the
program was Mr.. Skovgaard's render
ing OF Wienawski's pathetic "Legen-
de-" and also the virtuoso's own MA
zurka" and Hungarian Dance"
ence. Observation-Disclosures Indian La
ment," was played with remarkable
skill and a display of much feeling. )
Technical brilliance was the domi-
mating feature of the reading Of
Grieg's Sonata in G." which was
played by Mr.. and Mrs. skovgaard.
Despite the fact hat Mr.. skovgaard
is emphatically advertised as a Danish
violinist, his program contained not
n composition created by any of
the masters Of the native country, al
though the Danish contributions to
the worlds treasures of music have
been important. This is to be regret
ted.
Marie Kern-Mullen sang with a
surprisingly rich contralto voice a
couple of arias from Saint-Saens'
Samson ct Della" mi the various
operas were represented in the selec-
tons rendered by Sophie Stephali,
whose enchanting soprano made num-
erous friends for her. Both of these
singers were heard in the duet, Hear
Me Norma" from Bellini's opera,
Norma"
The 'piece de resistance" of the
evening was, however, when all is said,
Mrs. Skovgaard's piano presentation
Of Liszt's "St. Francis Walks OH the
Waves" which was played with fasci-
mating force and bewildering tech
nique.
Taken all in all, the concert was
peculiarly we'll adapted to usher in
the years musical season in this city.

In devoting their time, energy and
wealth to the government in war
time, the members of the Vanderbilt
family are doing, of course, only
what many other American families
consider their duty and their privi-
lege, but their wealth and social
prominence give distinction to their
service. In showing thus their devo-
tion to the American cause the pres
ent-day Vanderbilts are following the
example OF the late Cornelius Van
derbilt, known as Commodore Van
derbilt. who died in 1877. During
the Civil War he was a most jealous
upholder Of the Union cause and
presented the steamship Vanderbilt
to the government. For this act he
received gold medal from Congress.
He was the great-grandfather Of Col.
