Theater before an audience which filled
every available seat and all the stand
ing room. those seated on the stag"
only leaving room for the artist an
his accompanist to so to and fro
Mr. kreisler played two concerto
and group of five shorter comisN-
items. The EieuxtempS Concerto No. /
ir ID minor. opus 81. opened the pro>
gram, and was brilliantly played. par
ticularly in the adagio religioso, IL
which the delicate and perfect trillS
were delightful. and the rhythmn in the
finale was keenly marked. The Bach
Concerto, in G minor, for violin alone.
not only presents difficulties for the
technic of a player, but presents the
difficult problem of trying to hold the
attention of an audience through A
composition without accompaniment.
Mr.. Kreisler had no trouble with
either, playing the most trying pas
SageS with perfect ease and never once
losing the attention of his hundreds
of listeners. This accomplishment
alone stamps him as an artist But he

the charm of these numbers. it Seem
ed singular that an artist of Mr..
kreislers ability. not only as a vio-
liniS. but as a composer, should go
outside tie rich violin literature to
find numbers for his program. If he
finds the literature for his instrument
not rich enough, he can easily make
a brilliant program of his own com
positions. which would find a warm
welcome from the public.
The program was short and had
been completed some minutes before
6 o'clock, with one encore, "Chanson
Indoue." written by Rimsky-Korsa-
koff for the voice. and which was
played after the Bach Concerto. There
were only a few who started to leave
