Kreisler to
Bring Famed
Violin Here
Full-Length Recital to
Be Offered in Con-
stitutiOn Hall.

ONE month from this evening-on
~ Wednesday, November 6. at $50
o'clock-Fritz Kreisler. the great
Austrian violinist, will open the 1885,
SO recital season at Constitution Hall
with a full-length recital-Kreisler' S
first appearance at popular prices-as
the first attraction of Dorothy Hodg-
kin Dorsey's evening concert series at

Kreisler, who arrived in New York
last Wednesday. has been vacation
ing for several weeks in Dresden and
in the Black Forest of Germany, rest
ing from concert tour of 80 appear
ances in England, Scandinavia and
Switzerland.
After leaving the United States last
Winter, Kreisler made his first con-
cert tour of South America, covering
the round trip from Germany to
Buenos Aires by Zeppelin and travelling
5000 miles in South America by plane
in four days. during the course of which
he gave concert every day. In all,
Kreisler played 20 concerts in South
America in five weeks.
On his coming American tour Kreis-
Ter will use his Stradivarius violin, one
OF four highly priced instruments in
the Kreisler collection. He uses a
different instrument on each tour,
holding that violins tire, just as hu-
man beings do, and need periods Of
rest.
The history of this Kreisler Strad
reveals that it was stolen in Spain
during the Napoleonic wars by an
English sailor who sold it to the keeper
of an English public house, who in
turn resold it to an English musician.
Since that time it has changed hands
a number of times. Kreisler also owns
Gagliano and two Guarnerius vio-
linS.
Kreisler's first concert in the United
States this season will be given in
New York next Saturday and in the
eight weeks that follow he will make
40 concert appearances, topping this
of with week of recitals in Mexico.
He will then sail to begin another
tour of England, and little later he
will make his first Egyptian tour.
