KREISL.ER INSISTS
ON KEEPING BUSY
WHILE ON TOURS

Charles A Ellis of Boston, begins
to map out in spring a tour for the
following season, he need not treat
him - q fragile person who must
alwayS be wound in cotton wool in
order that he may not break. When
kreisler once begins a concert tour
his one cry is that he may be kept
busy. II he can play seven times
a week. he is all the happier, for
be says that his nerves begin to
hurt only when he II idle. The most
trying railroad jumps have NO ter
ror for him. A combination Of
automobile, steamboat and railway
to make certain date affects him
as the trumpet sounding at the post
affects race horse, but let him
have three or four days idle and he
begins to NOPE.
In the season of 1867 he gave
more than lbs concerts and Travelled
$4,000 to 10000 miles. The coming
season will be as busy. His great
est record in the matter of concerts
and travel was in the season Of 1912
-. Beginning in London Sept 2S,
1912. by the middle of the follow
ing May he had played 135 times
which included 20 Appearances in
the United States. two tours in Rus
STA, a series of concerts in Rumania
a few concerts in Italy, and his
usual concerts in London and the
British provinces. This Is a record
that is likely to stand unequaled fol
many a day.
Stage seats for the concert to BE-
given tomorrow evening at Angus

tickets are going rapidly. A record
breaking crowd is expected TO heal
