BENEFIT CONCERT.
The second annual benefit concert
for the Bluehill Memorial hospital
was given in Kneisel hall, Friday eve
2ing, under the direction of DR..
Franz Kneisel A large and appreci- |
alive audience was in attendance,
and more than $500 was realized
This is the second musical treat |
enjoyed by Bluehill people within
the last ten days. 1t was a success
full repetition, and yet more than a
repetition of the formal opening of
Kneisel hall on August 6. On this
occasion the audience was privileged
TO hear the accomplished young
artist, William Knoll, with Miss
Marianne Kneisel) playing the lead
ing parts of Bach's Concerto in D
minor and Beethoven's Andante Can
table in d major. He won enthusi-
astic applause when he continued play
ing, apparently unperturbed by the
breaking of his G string. He was
heard also in three Kreisler numbers.
His excellent tone quality, the ease
With which he takes the difficult pas
sages, his unusual interpretative
ability, should make him one of the
greatest musicians of the country.
We understand that he is booked for
the coming season with the Elshuco
trio, composed of Mr.. Willeke
Pcellist) Mr.. Giorni (pianist) and
Mr.. Knoll (violinist). Such an ag-
gregation of finished artists will un-
doubtedly achieve great success.
1t is possible only to mention
briefly some of the other interesting
features of the program. The vio-
loncelIo solos by Miss Phyllis
Hraeuter were especially enjoyed,
and also the cello quintet, with |
Messls Kahn and Prinz taking the |
leading parts The exquisite little
p4ano numbers by Miss Del Vecchio !
were keenly enjoyed. What delicacy !
OF touch this lady has! How unas- |
Stunning in manner! And what made
her solos the more appreciated was
the fact that they were the COM
positions of Miss Kneisel
In the able address by Dr.. Ray
mond V. N. Bliss, attention was
galledto the splendid work that is be-
ing done by the Bluehill Memorial
hospital This asylum for the
afflicted people of our community, he
said, was made possible through the
generosity of the summer residents
of Rthehill. He also declared that
there is Just now pressing need for
funds if the work of the hospital is
10 continue. 1t is to be hoped that
the citizens of the village will
promptly respond to his appeal.
