Artist. All of Them.

Those who braved the rain of last
evening. to attend the Recital at the
Washington Auditorium were more
than repaid by being enabled to listen
to trio of artists, privilege not
usually accorded to cities of this size.
The audience was not as large as the
nature of the entertainment would
warrant but what it lacked in numb
ers was made up in enthusiasm, as the
players were forced to respond to en-
cores.
Josef Konecny, the Bohemian vio-
lin virtuoso, certainly ranks among
the foremost in his line and was by
far the best ever visiting this city.
Not alone was Mr.. Kohecny's violin
playing admired but his general ap-
pearance and pleasant manner
blended admirably with his artistic
rendition of the masterpieces on this
masterpiece of instruments. Enough
cannot be said of his work but will
suffice it to say that his playing did
not suffer in consequence of his ex-
cellent record as good, American
soldier and member of the Legion.
Mary Iris, the pianiste and accom-
panyist for Mr.. Konecny and Miss
Alley, made admirers of the audience
even before she rendered her solo
numbers. She is an American oian-
ist for American music lovers. Her
first solo number, Liszt's Polenaise in
E, displayed her clear understanding
of the instrument and her ability to
the minutest detail. While praising
Mr.. Konecny, the fact of the excel
lence of the accompaniment must
not be overlooked. She possesses
charming personality which at once
reaches her audience and puts them
at ease and in a mood to enjoy every
note of her part of the program.
Lola Murel Alley, opened her part
OF the program with an operatic sell
ection from Madame Butterfly" and
followed with a trio of American
songs all given in true artist style.
For recall number she gave a favor
ite with violin and piano acconpani-
ment.
The ladies' left for their homes in
Chicago this morning but Mr.. Kon-
ecny remains for few days to enjoy
an outing. He says he will return
about the middle of June and then
will take one of the canoe trips to
the border. The party spent We'd
nesday on the lake and say they had
fine time.
Yesterday afternoon the artists
gave program for the school child
rem and it is estimated that 1900
were present. The children formed
very appreciative audience.
