Thursday concert OF the season a.
Constitution Hall.
A young man of predisposing per-
sonality and modest bearing Mr..
Totenberg was the recipient OF some
what of an ovation, Immediately after
the first movement of the Beethoven
Concerto in D Major" and at the
finish of his performance was recalled
innumerable times. It Is pleasant to
record that the note Of genuineness
in the applause bespoke not simply
a kindly attitude toward q newcomer,
but a deep appreciation of a talent
destined to 60 far.
THE violin literature contains many
less taxing works than the Beeth-
oven concerto which would have
made a good showing at debut. 1t
is immensely to Mr.. Totenberg's credit
that he chose Beethoven, for therein
are to be found all the tests Of .
musical nature.
The violin part stands out like a
bas relief against the delicate back
ground of the orchestra, and requires
for its Interpretation an impeccablc
intonation and maturity of thought.
Some slips in security of tone crept
in last evening, but not to a degree
seriously to mar the general excellence
of the performance.
Mr.. Totenberg is blessed with a
large, penetrating tone and tech
nique of exceptional brilliancy. He
shows a thorough grounding In es-
sentials. and plays with true musical
feeling. In following the traditional
Interpretation of Beethoven as he did,
Mr.. Totenberg demonstrated his in
nate sensitiveness to the noble musi-
cal line. and, what is still more, the
ability to reproduce it with convincing
power
Earlier in the week Mr.. Totenberg

able scribe for 1.-THE Great Waltz"
In The Great Waltz Max Gordon's
musical success which comes to the
National Theater next week, Guy
Robertson conducts an orchestra.
THE climax of this huge musical
play finds Robertson in the role of
Johann Strauss, jr., by clever sub
terfuge, leading his fathers orchestra
in the strains of the then supposedly
unknown waltz, The Beautiful Blue
Danube.
Young Strauss was almost as IA
nous as conductor as he was as
composer and the task Robertson
faced of not only leading q large
group of musicians, but of doing so a Ia
Strauss was no mere child's play.
"Of course, he had the advantage
of knowing music. His long period
as a singer had taught him that. but
in his entire career ne had never held
a baton in his hand Long weary
hours were spent in the proper use
of a stick. When to his dismay he
discovered that Strauss never used q
baton but conducted with the violin,
sometimes playing and sometimes
welding the bow.
Here was another matter. SO Rob-
ertson decided the first thing to do
was a little research work. Musicians
and critics familiar with Strauss have
wondered at the Interpretation.
LAS a conductor Johann Strauss, 1r.,
was noted for his elegance Of body
posture, for the grace of his arm
movements. His body would sway
rhythmatically to the music. The
movements we're adapted to the music

1T is said that Robertson has cap

 An estimate of the possible division of the 322 Demo- cras in the incoming House of Representatives the election of Speaker to succeed the late Henry Ralney calls attention to the fact that numerically the Democrats o the South longer in the saddle It would be quite possible for combination of Northern Representatives to bring about the defeat of the outstanding candidates for Speaker-all of whom are Southern men.

Famed Ethel
Once Scared
byApp|ause
First Night as Star Recalled
by Actress to Appear
Here Tomorrow.

A member of the Barrymore FAM
lily has the honor of opening the
1885 season at English's tomor-
row night.
This time the honor falls to Ethel
Barrymore in w. Somerset Maugh-
ans comedy, THE Constant Wife, )"
which was one of her successes some
seasons ago.
Out of her versatile repertoire.
Miss Barrymore selected this comedy
because in it is one of her favorite
roles and she knew that it would
not only interest the more expe-
rienced generation of theatergoerS
but that it would bring to the legiti-
mate theater the younger genera
ton, many of whom have never seen
dramatic play.
Recalls Star Debut
Although possessing a million
memories from her. long career on
the stage, Miss Barrymore remem-
bers most wildly her appearance
before her first starring audience in
New York at the Garrick Theater.
She realized that this audience
which would witness her perform
ance in captain links" would make
or mar her future. She was sc
worried that she nearly starved her
self.
do you wonder that when made
my real debut as a leading lady that
I was seized with an acute attack of
stage fright?" she asks in discussing
this memory.
There was, the principal player
in new drama by an eminently
successful playwright True, if the
piece was bad, good acting could not
save it, and if it was good, poor act
ing would ruin it,
Having the chief role, everything
practically hinged on me. The sue
cess or failure of the play depended
largely upon my ability as the lead
ing performer. The late Clyde
Fitch, the author, entrusted so much
to me, as also did the late Charles
Frohman, my manager, who had
spent many thousands of dollars be-
fore the play could draw single
dollar.
Voice Failed
ITO say that I was extremely
nervous when I stepped out on that
New York stage for the first time
would be putting it mildly. I was
simply paralyzed with fear. My
voice refused to respond to my will
A great lump gathered in my throat.
I trembled
Instead of giving me courage, the
burst of applause that greeted my
first entrance only served to fright
en- me still more because it meant
to me that the audience expected
great deal Of me.
Before me I saw the eyes of
some 1900 persons riveted on me,
their ears eager to catch my every
word Then I remembered the
critics and I feared what they would
say.
when the ordeal was over, T re-
manned awake all night waiting for
the morning papers. Then I found
that the play and myself were nicely
received"
Miss Barrymore has had many
New York first nights, but she will
never forget that one.

at English's tomorrow night, Friday
afternoon and night.
