Gllcd yesterday with the blind and

"rhc Matilda Hiegler Magazine for
the Blind" which, through the fund
established by the donator whose name
it bears, keeps in touch with the blind
throughout the country by it's free dis
tributon Of magazine in Braille type.
The thrill Of the afternoon was the
playing of Fritz Kreisler. whose aL-
pearancc was surprise to the blind
guests. Most of those present, keenly
trained in the perception OF musical
sounds, knew Kreislcr's touch by the
records. but never had heard him.
When they heard that Kreislcr himself

was intense. The great violinists

The New PLAY
BY Percy Hammond

until fragrant momcnt-~thcir senti-
mental days.
!.
Miss Eamcs and Mr.. Powers were
ideal selections for the persons of the
play and it is suspected that both of
them surpassed their not inconsider-
able achievements in other dramas.
One Of the scenes. depicting the tenth
anniversary, was played in pantommt,
the couple having lived in silence for
five years. and Miss Eames's denote
ment of despair at the ending, vas Il
most eloquent and credible outburst.
She was fine. too, as was MIR. Powers,
in that episode wherein she was seen
dcspising him but unrsng him in i'll
ness. Both were able also TO portray
age without the usual routine impedi-
menta of scrcechy clocution. Mr..
Myers has recently conc from Colum

Performance of Brahms Trio

in Spite of Fine Work
of Bachaus at the Piano

Lacks Her Former Repose-
fulness and Style: Quar-
tct by Schumann Given
By II. E krehbiel

Four OF the SIX artists who took part
in the ffth Of this season concerts by
the Beethoven Association were new TO
the society's lists. They were Nine.
Susan Metcalfe Casals, Alexander
Schmuller. Wilhelm Bachaus and Xavier
Reiter. The corporation OF the last
made possible performance of
Brahms's Trio in fat for pianoforte,
violin and French horn, q piece Of
chamber music which is rarely heard
because of the difficulties which it offers
to the horn player
Compositions of chamber music EN-
pioying the horn are generally OK
plsned by some personal equation.
Beethoven's association with Simrock
in the Electoral Chapel in Bonn was
no doubt responsible for that compos
ers sonata for pianofortc and horn,
although its direct inspiration came
from the presence in Vienna of Ger
man vituoso who called himself Punto.
Richard Strauss wrote his sonata for
the same instruments 10 please his
father who was the first hornist at the
Royal Opera in Munich.
Whether or not Brahms had some
particular player IT mind when he
wrote his Trio in 1865 we do not re-
call. II is likely that it was his love
for the instrument which inspired It,
He was fond of the composition and
played it on his concert tours when
ever he found musician who could do
i Justice. He knew how difficult of
performance the music is, and did not
hesitate to ask his companion to de-
vote two or three weeks to the study
of it. Mr.. Reiter used to play it at
Mr.. kreisel's concerts, but that was
long ago when he was more certain Of
his cmbouchure than he seemed to be
last night. The music did not tax Mr.
Bachaus's skin in the least and had
his companions done as well with their
parts a. he did with the pianofortc
last nights performance would have
been less disappointing. As it was the
effect was as if Mr. Schmuller was
feeling his way through the compost
tion and Mr.. Reiter playing it with
willing and intelligent spirit but weak

New Pianist Heard Here
Mrs. Margaret NilloIoric Gives
Recital in Town Hall

Ms Margaret Nikoloric gave her
rst piano recital in New York yester-
DAY afternoon at Town Hall. She be
longs to the class OF conventional
pianists in that her faults were evenly
balanced by her good qualities, while
her lack of individuality left her hear
ers in an apathetic frame of mind. Mrs.
Nikoloric's touch was suave and her
technique fair On the other hand, her
nedalng too often resulted in q blurred
mass of tones. and her lack of inter
pretative perception caused her to cast
the music OF Brahms. Chopin and Cesar
Iranck ia one and the same mold. The
Belgian composers Prelude, Chorale
and Fugue suffered particularly from
absence of line depth and contrast
Debussy. however. seemed nearer
the pianist's vision, and her perform
ance or "Noiles' and "Refets dams
PEau" marked the most successful mo-
nlents Of the afternoon.

u fiat major Nocturne. major Bal
lade. c sharp minor Scherzo, A fiat ma,
jor Polonaise, besides an assortment Of
etudes, preludes and mazurkas.
Mr.. Malkin's technique was adequate
and often brilliant, with tendency to
high speed, while in volume of sound
he still favored extremes, cvanescent
pianissimos with explosive contrasts of
vigorous, rather hard louder passages,
but with more varied shading than be-
fore. Several encores were granted a
ialr-slzed, appreciative audience.

TIIE CAST


Martn Weiis. ............ Tom Powers
Anne NcilH ......-..... -... Clare Eames
Not often arc the orange blossoms
so completely withered as they are
under the chill inspection of Mr. Horny
Myers in his new play "The First Fifty
Years At the Princess last evening
We sat depressed, though interested,
while Miss Clare Eames and Mr. Tom
Powers traversed the state Of matr-
mony from honeymoon to golden we'd
ding, and in so doing, found little but
discomfort and despair. What it was
that allied the hapess couple it was
not easy to discern. They we're young
and handsome and they seemed TO be
fond of each other as they left the
church back in the early los for their
love nest in Harlem.
They were not rich enough to have
children, it is TRUE, and the brides past
contained the memory of another
suitor. But unhappiness in such cir
cumstances, they say, is not inevitable.
He was an amateur in poetry and she
in music, with pian-r repcrtory of
The Maiden's Prayer" and "Thc
Spring Song" Their accomplishments
therefore, being similar, compatibility
might have been looked for They
found, however. all the many torments
of the wedding ring Perhaps it was
Mr.. Myers purpose merely to point out
that the miracle sometimes does not
happen and that the marriage game is
among the most prccarous Of the
sports.
X
1t matters little what his intention
was for in "The First Fifty Years" he
has contrived competent play, illus
trating vividly, but without strcssful-
ness, the disconsolatc plight of his two
characters. Their tale is told, with a
suggestion of parable, in seven short
scenes. representing their first roman
tic homecoming. and the several we'd
ding anniversaries thereafter. The dis
carded suitor. il seems. had asked them
to look into their hearts at each ami
versary and to talk themselves over.
Even at their paper wedding" after
one year, the garlands had begun to
fade, and the long kisses of twelve
months before had been reduced to the
briof pecks of dull familiarity
They had no "hired girl" and the
bride was still wearing the remnants
of her trousseau. BY the time the
wooden wedding" had arrived they
were spattng maliciously. and thert
was symbolic canary bird in cage
BY the window, engaging the parantal
attentions OF each Of them. Indicating
that Mr.. Myers regards children as an
antidote for domestic indispositions,
this canary, in later scenes was re
placed first by a goldfish. then by q
rubber plant and finally by deck of
cards. Their hatred ebbcd and flowed
