kochanski Displays Fine
Musicianship i'm Recital
Niolinist's Playing Is of Aristo-
cratic Type; Program Mostly
of Familiar Compositions

Paul Kochanski, violinist, who has
appeared here this season with the
New York Symphony Orchestra and
with Arthur Rubinstcin at a concert
under the auspices of the Friends of
Music, gave a recital at Aeolian Hall
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Kochanski is among the violin
lists who wear the purple. His playing
is of fine. arstocratic type, and yes
terday he gave many evidences of ad-
mirable musicianship. Most of the
compositions on the program were fa-
miliar These included the Concerto in
A minor by Vivuldi-Nachez, IN which
Mr.. Kochanski received support from
organ as we'll as piano; Bach's Chaconne
and kreisler's arrangements of pieces
by Francoeur. Boccherin and Pugnani
There was one novelty, Szymanowski's g
Notturnc, an effective piece, in which
p mysterious nocturnal atmosphere is
at once established by the opening
pages for the muted violin. There is
a middle section which suggests dance
music, Spanish in character, followed
by return to the mood Of the opening
Mr.. Kochanski's tone was for the
most part beautiful in quality, although
in the Chaconne there was a slight rig
idity and In sustained passages there
was occasionally more tenseness than
depth. On the whole, however, his
playing was technically Of high order
and he is an interesting and magma
tive interpreter
New-York tribune., 1921-03-10

had spoken IN greeting, Peace be to
all here" adding "And to hint"
1t is an effective book with sin
gularly effective conclusion The bells,
when heard in the opera, have proper
dramatic motive. They are not i'm
aginary to Mathis and real to the au-
dience; and the presence of the jew,
his coming. greeting, going and bcne-
diction, make n strong appeal to the
emotions and imagination of the au-
dience.
Music Light Waisted
Unfortunately the music is little else
than hindrancc to the mclodrama.
1t is extremely light-waisted. There is
not single red dramatic blood cor
puscle in it, The greater part Of it,
scene. might he used for any situation
in any sentimental opcrctta. The or
chestration sounds meager, pallid,
monotonous
At one climax in the trial we hear
Elsa's entrance in the first act Of
"Lohengrin" - almost The identical
phrase, almost the identical tone
color w the woodwind device which
Wagner uses with great effect in char
actcrisng his heroine. A moment later
under tremolo of tho strings the
tromhones in tone Lohengrin's warn
ing. "Nie scl!st du mich bcfragen!' y
Under the circumstances the effect is
comical. His friends take leave of the
haunted murderer in a concerted piece
which might as we'll be a gce or a
barcarole. There is more charm of
melody, variety of harmony and in
genuity of instrumental contrivance in
one page of Wolf Fcrrari's delightful
,Di Dior,On17O which foIlowed II thar in
Weiss entire opera.
Production Well Cast
The opera was we'll cast and the per-
Torrance in every way admirable.
Chief Caupolican, who sang for the
first time at the opera house in the
leading role of Mathis, displayed a
sturdy, resonant voice, but the part
is rather an affair of defamation than
Of sustained singing, and it is to be
hoped that better opportunity of
gauging his vocal prestige will later
be afforded in another role. His act
ing was most effective and too much
cannot be said in praise of his ad-
mirable diction.
Most of the others on the stage,
among them Mr.. Chamlec, Miss How
ard and Miss Dclaunois, were equally
to be complimented upon the clarity Of
their enunciation.
Wolf Ferrari's "Secret Of Suzanne"
which concluded the evening and had
its first performance of the season, was
delightfully."- given by MIR. Scotti, Miss
Bori and Mr.. Paltrinieri.
A large audience was warm in praise
Of both casts and after the first act a
wreath was tossed across the foot
lights to Chief Caupolican.

WALLACE REID STAR
 IN R|A[TO FEATURE

Another big treat is offered the patrons of the Rialto in the engage ment starting today of Wallace Reid, in his latest Paramount feature, "The Hell Diggers.' The story presents , the dashipg star in his first outdoor role since "The Valley of the Giants"
 The role of an engineer in charge of mining dredges-'hell diggers." as the farmers call the giant machines is, played by Reid in this drama of love, excitement and thrills. It hap pens that he is in love with the daughter of a farmer of the north ern California country, and his suc- cess with his work has blinded him to the farmers side of the game-the ruination of the lands over which the dredges pass.
 The farmers are up in arms and threaten open warfare, and the young engineer is torn between his duty to his company and his love for the girl, 1t Is the girl who finally awakens him to his duty and he joins forces with the farmers to fight the very interests which formerly employed him. This sudden change gives the impetus for the many stirring scenes with which the story abounds and permits of much vivid action.
 Louis Wilson, seen to excellent ad- vantage in many Paramount success es, appears opposite Reid as lead ing lady.

His penchant for box ing brought him to the first rank among the amateurs of the little town, and when he suddenly gives up the game, at the request of his aged mother, his associates look upon him as yellow and dub him as q coward.
