WINS
BIG AUDIENCE
WITH ARTISTRY
Master Of TecAnic Of Violin Finds
Opportunity to Display Skill
In Appealing Airs.

Fritz Kreisler-peer of violinists
played a program at Augustana
gymnasium mast night which held
the huge audience filing every
available seat ON the main floor and
balcony and erowdihg the running
track-as only Fritz Kreisler can
hold 1t.
There were $500 people at the
concert and more than 300 were
turned away. This Is the largest
crowd at concert since John Nc
COrmick was here last winter.
It was a program played by a
Kreisler much older than the one
who appeared here few years ago.
the numbers showing finish, SYM
pathetic understanding and reflec-
ton Of life, which a younger must
clan cannot attain. The artist
was the true Kreisler, and every
one, even the least unsteady cul-
tured could understand his versions
and those Of the highest apprecia-
ton could find no flaw in his work.
An artist with a reputation such
as Kreisler's attracts an audience
of old and young, and he had the
taste to choose his program to ap-
peal to all. The one last night was
truly balanced, allowing for fine
study of his technique for which he
IL especially noted, as well as for
thorough enjoyment. Many chill
dren studying the instrument
which has brought Kreisler so
close to the hearts of people all over
the world were open mouthed lis
teners, while cider men and women,
many Of whom had heard the violin
list before, were there to hear again
the wonderful music bowed from an
instrument by an artist who knows
the why and how of what he at
teEpts.
Instrument Talks.
Whether Kreisler is executing
feats of brilliancy not surpassed in
mastery of mechanical difficulties of
violin TART or whether his deft
hands are drawing the most ETHEREAL
tones from muted strings. or amid
the wild gallop Of the crescendoes is
making his instrument fairly talk
like live thing, he is not sacrific-
ing any Of the tone or intrinsic
beauty of the number and is COM
bining an absolute musical senti-
ment with pure technic
Opening the program last night
was the Vieuxtemps Concerto No. 4
in D minor. Opening with the long,
full bowed notes Kreisler worked
out the shades and variations of
tone in the andante movement, the
tone study worshipful adagio relig-
ioso, played the scherzo and ended
with the martial finale, in which he
brought out the wonderful tones Of
double stop work. This was his
heavy number, and Immediately
the writer was impressed with the
splendid accompaniment by Carl
Lamson. An accompanist always
gets some mention for his work, but
! it seems that few interpret so per-

Riverside Park has against scored with the dancers of the city, and scored heavily, and Patsy" is bound to draw the crowds to Arizonl's largest and most pop- ular amusement center during her entire engagement. She appears twice nightly, and despite the inn portance of the engagement there is no advance in either the price of ad- mission or the charge for dancing.

 The Pioneer Boys quartet were in great form again yesterday after weeks rest and were recalled for en- core after encore, proving their popularity with the Phoenix music lovers and their real worth as a har- mony quartette and as dispensers of catchy jazz songs.

TRAINING
 TOBE EMPHASIZED
 IN GRADE SCHOOLS

Physical training and calisthenics will find a prominent place ip the Phoenix grade schools this year. Henry Wilt, Jr. has charge this year again and has given out the following statement:
 My hope is for competitive ath- letics after school hours. the aim ot which will be to provide healthful, useful training, which is the real foundation for a life of conscientious application and honest effort.
 There is nothing that children en- ter into with more whole-hearted spirit than play. Play to the child is its religion; if we are to inculcate them with spirit of real religion, we must first reach them through their play. During play houls they have many little problems arise. By giv- ing them assistance and sympathy at such a time the child's confidence is gained and 1t becomes more recept- i've to your instructions.
 Children are under great stress while playing. Members of a com peting baseball team or other games engaged in sports are under con- stant tension while the game is in progress. Unless they have been cor rectlY tralneQ, Cnedllt.s VIII SioP Otl' on such an occasion. The boy who develops a habit of cheating will very often develop into a dishonest man for cheating is only another term for stealing.
 If we can develop character and physique through recreative faculties we should certainly utilize the equip ment already at hand to do so. Di- rected play means the expansion of surplus energy in the right direction Without this the energy is often spent to the disadvantage of the child and the embarrassment of the parents Judge McFall, probation officer, in a recent interview agreed with me that if our program of recreation could be launched as outlined it would lessen the juvenile problem
 Play is the serious work or child hood. To be successful in mature years children must learn to succeed in their play. A set of dishes or a train does not draw the child into the open air nor do they instill competi- tion into the child mind. On the playground they meet in cont96f. Ii is there that ambition IS born.
 All public grade schools this year will have regular 12-minute daily ex- ercises and minute relaxation periods.
