fifteen in the chorus, the accom-
paniment for which was played by
Mrs. Anna Belzer.

studying violin in Philadelphia for
the past five months. appeared twice
| on the program, and there was the
greatest interest on the part of the

| himself in his painstaking work here
| at home, that much was expected,
and the club was not disappointed.
He has temperament and real love for
| his violin, that, with an inherited
| talent for music, made combina-
ton which responded readily to the
Philadelphia teachers art. He played
with poise and confidence the diff
cult sonata by Handel, and "An-
| dante Cantabile," by Tschaikowsky,
| and Alteration" by Borowsky. He
was called back several times by the
audience,

pleases her audience, played "Rigo-

ner, and was called back for an
