MATzENAUER AND
KINDLER CONCERT
Fine Vocal and Cello Work in
the Academy Series by Two
Excellent Artists

The Matzenauer- Kinder recital at
! the Academy of Music last evening was
| the most successful of the series thus
far, both artistically and also in the size
of the audience present, The program
| presented was varied one and unusual
ly free from hackneyed numbers and the
offerings of both artists were well re-
ceived.
Mr.. Kinder began with the Prelude
and Fugue in G minor by Sebastian,
Bach for cello unaccompanied and
played the difficult and intricate num-
Der with excellent taste and technique.
From the musicians standpoint, it was
the most ambitious piece on his pro-
gram and was one of the best per
formed
Nine. Mat5enauer. who was received
with great applause on her appearance,
sang first a group of old time songs by
Secchi, Neracini Caldara and Handel
Her style of singing is cosmopolitan
enough and her wonderful voice is suffi =
cient in quality and range to do well the
works of any school, and while she is at
her best in the more impassionate music
of later composers than these, her rendi-
tion, was splendid and she gave life and
vitality to compositions written in the
formal manner. For an encore she sang
'Ah, Mon Fills" from LES Hugue
nots," with great feeling and emotion
Mr.. Kinder appeared twice more on
the program in solo groups. one Of them
selected from Russian composers and
the other from that veteran of cello
composers, Pepper. In the first named
group the Cradle Song of Ornstcin,
arranged by Mr.. Kinder himself, was
so enthusiastically received that it had
to be repeated. The works were chosen
for their contrast and made up two very
effective groups.
Nine. Matzenauer followed the same
scheme in her part of the program.
singing one group of Russian composers
songs and a second group of songy by
Grieg, whose exquisite writings for the
voice are too seldom heard on the con
cert stage.

Chinese Census Taker Finds Coal in

Chinese apparently do everything back

Instead of a Chinese family he found
something sometimes found in cellars
