Brisbane on HeifetZ.
!. Last winter there appeared in
the New York American one or
the finest expressions Of apprecia-
ton of Jascha Heifetz and his play
ing that has appeared anywhere:
1t was written by the highest paid
Journalist in the world, Arthur Bris-
bane, and filled his To-day" column,
I'm which he discusses all the import
ant topics Of the hour.
Mr.. Brisbane said:
Elm Russia, about twenty years
ago, q precocious child played the
violin. His father watched and
corrected little Jascha, proud that
the boy, still in his babyhood,
knew almost all that the father
knew Of playing.
''Neighbors said cts a shame.
That Heifetz spends his whole day
listening to his little boy practicins,
and correcting him. when he
ought to be working for his
family" But the father played his
violin at night in the theater
orchestra and kept his family that
way.
Yesterday afternoon in Carnegie
Hall in New York, little Jascha,
grown to be a tall young man,
played better violin. with every
scat in the great hall filled, every
ticket for standing room sold. His
father from Russia sat close in
front still listening to his little
boy playing.
Sometimes it pays to concen-
trate on making money and some
times it pays to concentrate on
your little boy with talent.
Far more important than money
making, that boy, with his violin,
thousands to begin the new year
in an atmosphere Of beauty and in
spiration-the music by Bach and
Grieg, played as the writer's meant
TO have it played. lighting in each
mind, according to its power, hope
and inspiration.
You saw thousands OF inspired
faces at the concert yesterday; old
men and women, the years lifted
from them by the power Of music;
earnest young students, grateful
for a chance TO stand through the
afternoon, unconscious of fatigue
