Alba VietOr's
Compositions
Violinist Shows
Great Gift as
Musical Writer
Nv ALICE EVERSMAN.

Compositions of Alba Rosa Victor,
who is well known here as violinist
of exceptional talent, were given
first hearing last night at the Sui
grave Club. providing one of the
most interesting and enjoyable pro-
grams of the season. Assisting Nine.
Victor were Julia Elbogen and AL
lison Sanderford, pianists; Nadia F.
d'Aulby, soprano; Jeno Sevely, vio-
linist; Benjamin Sosner, violist, and
Marcel Ancher. cellist. With the
exception of two groups of numbers
Nine Victor was the leading artist
in the performance OF the program.
The works represented part OF the
output of the past nine years and
consisted of "QuQintet in A Minor,
composed in 1888; "Nocturne" and
"Scherzo' for piano, from 1886;
Sonata for Piano and Violin"
written in 1887; Romantic Waltz"
for piano and vioin, 1889, and two
songs, "As Violinist" and Wall
Street." composed in 1910.
From the variety of the program,
Nine. Victor showed herself as q
greatly gifted musical writer, equally
proficient in whatever form she
uses. The flow of her inspiration
is continuous and is expressed in
fluent and easy manner. Original
ity that is genuine and imagination
of range and vivid quality gave a
stamp of distinction to her work, to-
gether with a forcefulness that pro~
jects the musical idea and preserves
the integrity of the form.
In writing for the instruments
Nine. Victor has the intimate
knowledge and feeling for what Is
most effective. Where the violin
predominates, the hackneyed turn
of phrase or formation OF runs Is
avoided, and, while drawing on the
technical powers of the performer to
the fullest, she does so In an indi-
vidual manner. The same may be
said of her writing for the piano,
the very beautiful "Nocturne" and
the unique "Scherzo" having a COM
pleteness of outline and a sensitive
utilization of the instruments tonal
richness that offered interpretive
possibilities to the player. Mrs. FL
bogen gave them q finely thought
out reading in which her mastery
pianistic talent was brought in ac-
cord with the contrasting demands
of the works and her superb mu-
steamship caught instinctively the
nuances of the moods.
These two numbers, together with
the Quintet" were the most out
standing of the program list for their
freedom of design and execution.
Product of her first years Of COM
posing, they have freshness that
is not quite so pronounced in her
later efforts, where the workman
ship itself is more in evidence. The
Quintet" is a poetic composition
wherein Nine. Victor has been most
successful in the Intervening Of
tonal hues, creating many interest
ing effects with her feeling for the
dramatic expression Of the five in
struments. With the composer
playing the first violin. the artists Of
the ensemble. Mr.. Sevely, Mr.. Sos
ner, Mr.. Ancher and Mrs. Elbogen,
gave it superb performance.
The shorter works also showed
fine craftsmanship. Romantic

Waltz" which Nine. Victor ex-
planned was composed to take the
place of many outmoded works Of
the same type in the violin litera-
ture, is charming in its individuality.
and in this number the composer
had the expert and highly sympa-
thetic accompaniment of Mr.. San
derford. The two songs, settings of
poems by Richard Burton, the latest
creations Of Nine. Victor, are given
interesting treatment, particularly
"As Violinist," in which the COM
poser has written a duet for voice
and instrument that emphasizes the
close tonal resemblance of the two
Nine. d'Aulby sang the difficult mu-
sic with fine effect, the purity and
sweetness Of her voice registering
the emotional content especially in
"As Violinist," where Nine. Victor
played the violin obbligato.
The audience was a large one and
expressed its growing enthusiasm
freely until. after the Quintet"

helped the Roberts go through ten years of adventure all over the wor, ] without being stumped more than once of twice.
 Tells How Many Windows
 Before the performance Eddie gets off 8 little spiel in which he att tributes Lucille's descriptions to ext tr sensory perception-mind reading. Actually, of course. they communicate by means of code so good it all but defles description. But Lucille does do few things that seem to border on the mys- terious.
 The other night a guest, trying to stump her, drew 8 picture of 8 house on his tablecloth. It was 8 picture of the farm he had pur- chased quietly only a few days be- fore. Serene in the belief no one knew about it he challenged Lucille to tell him what he had drawn.
 "A farmhouse in Rockland coun- ty," she said. Tt has a chimney on the right and 20 windows and |"
 She was right on every point mad the guest still is baffled.
 Professional ethics forbid Eddie from admitting a code is used. But it doesn't stop him from telling how he and his wife got into show busi- ness.
 Fakirs Tricks Were Easy
 we were touring India,' he said, land we decided to get some snap shots of Indian fakirs doing their tricks. The stunts looked so simple we decided to learn them as a gag and that got us into show business. This phase of it-mentalism-came later"
 The Roberts were in China when the World War broke and Eddie re- calls that newspaperman friend of his received typical Japanese warning against writing anti-Jap editorials. It was box containing pair of hands hacked off at the wrist.
 We had quite an adventure get ting out of China" Eddie said. "Our ship, the Sirdhana, was the second ship sunk in the war. It hit mine. Most of our equipment was lost, but l haved my camera and while in the water I took pictures that I later sold for enough to pay our passage back to the States
