Boston Symphony
Concludes Second
Visit of Season
Colorful Suite by Alsatian
Could Be Supplemented
by Motion Pictures With
Fine Effect, Says Reviewer

The Boston Symphony Orchestra
concluded its second visit to New York
of this season with a concert in Car
negle Hall yesterday afternoon. There
were three numbers on the program
the first an almost too familiar one.

is not of the stuff of which classics
are made-the second an unfamiliar
composition, though it had had a pre-
vlous hearing in New York; the third
a novelty. This last was the first part
OF catalonia" by Albeniz, a suite
based on a national air, bright and
stirring in itself and happily treated

Of which may have been borrowed from
Tschaikowsky's fourth symphony or
Beethoven's Pastoral" in both of
which it appears.
The second piece in the list was a
suite composed by Florent Schmitt for
a pantomimic play by Robert d'Hum-
eres entitled LA Tragedie du Salome."
1t was with this composition, played by
the Boston Orchestra on January 10,
1914. that the Alsatian composer was
introduced to a New York audience.
1T made so strong an impression upon
The Tribune's musical reviewer then
that he set it down as far and away
the most significant instrumental COM
posltion which had come out Of France
since Debussy's "L'Apres-midi dun
Faune." That impression was confirmed
yesterday, though we are again moved
to deplore that music so intimately
associated with scenery and action can
not be given with it's proper pictorial
accompaniment. We are not testing
when we add that performance would
not lose in dignity if the pictures were
of the moving kind.
THE Tragedy of Salome" is crowded
with lurid incidents which have been
wildly translated into tones by
Schmitt, who is a Debussy of more
solid substance than his model, and
though his music is fascinating in

Piano Recital Given
By E. Robert Schmitz
Music by Russian, French and

E. Robert Schmiltz played music by

mood than contrast.
Mr.. Schmitz is an admirable musician,
thoughtful, imaginative. He does not
emphasize his technical attainments,
but asks his audience to listen to him
as an interpreter, and in this role he
is supremely successful.

Fighting like lion, with his lip

which caused a steady flow of
blood to run from it, Mike Dundee,
Rock Island bantamweight boxer,
shaded Joe Burman of Chicago in
a 10-round boxing contest last
night at Johnny Wagner's Racine
arena. Dundee used his right hand
efficiently and administered a
shower Of left jabs to his antagon-
list in nearly every round. In two
Of the rounds Dundee dealt out a
considerable number of straight
rights to the Jaw, which caused the
fight fans to rise to their feet when
they thought sure that Burman
would be rocked to sleep by. his
speedy opponent. Dundee left the
ring amid tremendous applause.
The first round was Burman's
without a doubt. When the bell
rang he jumped to his feet and
landed the first blow, which hit
Dundee's glove, after a minutes
fighting. In clinches Burman be-
came more aggressive and landed
{; a considerable number Of lefts and
rights to his opponents eye and
lip which caused them to 7 start

The fourth and fifth rounds were
undoubtedly even. Both men
