81 RING ARTISTS
MASTERLY
~ JESSIE MacBRIDE

washington, "rnusically endowed, \
is new sensation for the National
Capital.
Last evening, through the
courtesy OF Mrs. Edward w. Box,
the first concert to be given any
where by the Curtis String Quartet
of Philadelphia was presented to
some 500 invited guests in the
Chamber Music Auditorium OF the
Library OF Congress. Mrs. Frederic
Shurtleff Coolidge, donor OF the
library music salon, was among dis
tinguished guests.
Artists OF solo fame and rare
musicianship make up this new
string quartet comprising Carl
Flesch, first violin; Emanuel Zetlin,
second violin; Louis Bailly, viola,
and Felix Salmond, violoncello.
They are associated with the Curtis
Institute of Music of which Mrs.
Box is the founder.
And something new and vital
comes into being with the union Of
these four men. Their playing, in
absolute accord, is instilled with the
fire, with the life of passage after
artist as interpreter. The quartets
were the Haydn In % minor, No. Al,
and the Beethoven in G major, opus
So, No. 3.
Mr.. Flesch, as soloist, gave a
stunning rendition OF several Bach
sonata excerpts that were filled
with the force of absolute authority
and were decisively masterful.
The Beethoven was the prime
tour de force It was more per-
fectly balanced than the Haydn. Tt
was, oddly enough for this classic
intimate medium, huge canvas of
sound that swung into a rhythmic
impetus that was absolutely excit-
ing In the interest 1t maintained.
1t was wildly alive.
Richness of chord ensemble in the
opening "Andante" perhaps may not
be equalled in the depth and ex-
quisite beauty of these modulations.
Here were four artists listening
through" with the real instinct for
pure music, holding this opening
bit like a stirring largo, then trip
ping gaily into the allegro vivace"
like the rugged, playful Beethoven
we love.
The pure, fine and perfect de-
Iineation Of Mr.. Flesch, with a per-
feet trill and direct spirit, held the
reinS IOr Color ana Interviewing OI
the other instruments that were
each, in turn, masterful. The cello
of Felix Salmond, his dramatic
plucked passages, his fulsome tone
and exquisite art, seem incompar-
able.
To Beethoven belongs the JOY Of
the opportunity given each instru-
ment. The viola of Mr.. Bailly was
rare in tone, at times like rich
clarinet. The secbnd violin of Mr..
Zetlin. in the finale, took on a
plaintiye quality, or at times sound
ed a tragedy that underlies even the
gay moments of q Beethoven score.
The Haydn was a wholesome, gay
score, with finest unity in the
rugged repeated episodes. 1t Is a
maze of intrfcacy, tricky in its
variety, revealing the mastery
again in every detail. Though here
the first violin over-dominated the
ensemble in volume Of tone,
rhythmically they were one. -.
Carl F'lesch encompasses the
heights of violinistic art when play
ing the unaccompanied solo Bach
music. He gave the "Sarabande,
Double and Bourree." from the r
minor Sonata, in commanding
breadth His n1any-toned chords

Mr.. Green told the jury today that
he had been an attorney and ex-
pert in disputed handwriting 1or 10
years; that his testimony had been
recognized as that Of an expert In
courts throughout the country, and
that he had often testified as an
expert for various Government de-
partments.

The expert was shown numerous
exhibits containing handwriting
Identified as Vans and he told
the results and methods OF his ex-
animation Al number Of large
Photographic reproductions of
Vans handwriting, and the nota-
ton on the check stub were tack
ed on q blackboard and exhibited
to the jury.
Mr.. Green stated that the writ
ing on the stub was almost insult
ffcient to allow any comparison
with the other handwriting exhibits,
but declared, in closing, that in his
opinion Wan did not write the
name and figures on the check
stub. He said, further, that proof
of the similarity OF the writing on
the stub could not be obtained on
the meager basis Of Wong's name.
Wan Is Grilled
The defendant himself was on the
witness stand for cross-examinatio
through most Of the morning. He
repeatedly asserted that his mem
DRY was poor and that he could
not recall or was not certain of
various incidents preceding and fol
lowing the murder, related to him
in the questions propounded by
District Attorney Peyton Gordon.
Major Gordon read numerous ex-
cerpts from Vans testimony Al
the latter's previous trial six years
ago. Wan replied to many CT
Major Gordon's questions, based.
upon this record, that he had al
ways told the truth to the best of
his recollection, but could not re-
member his statements at the first
trial.
Wan said that when detectives
called at his room in New York on
the morning after the bodies were
found that he was addressing
telegram of coincidence to Lin Go
Wang, of the Chinese legation. Ali
previous testimony has been that
Wan was drafting a telegram to
Kang Lii, who has appeared as the
Governments start witness.
