Fashion Knit Ties for Xmas Caught in a mood te tancy, Francis Macmillen’ peo at the America theater last evening was swept through more than an hour's enchantment by all the plasmic splendors that may be poured out in rich and scintillating fullness by a violin virtuoso whose musical attainments are perfection. No limitations contracted the marvels that came from the varied playing of Macmillen. He did smoothly compositions that abound- ed in compTexities and performed changes that were truly startling. But more appealing than all else was his playing upon hearts. Tho violin was but his instrument for sending out messages that may come from an age long past, but that always are heard with a close spiritual understanding. This was Macmillen’s true triumph. There, is no doubt but that an acute sympathy with perfection of technique and interpretation in violin playing, were essential last night to a properly responsive audi: ence, This keerness of apprecia-} tion seemed to be found among Mac: | millen’s hearers, as was evinced in the tremendous surge of applause that repeated!y called the aftist back upon the stage. No individual selection brought out the same demonstration of en- thusiasm as that coming at the end of the violinist’s playing of his own conception “Barcarole,” which he was virtually compelled to play © second time. Encores were forth- coming following each of the four numbers. At the conclusion of “Introduction and Tarantelle” there was a sudden and prolonged re- action, an awakening {t might have: been that left the audience at the breaking off of a charming dream, aml Maecmillen gave a final encore, his own rapid telling of “Turkey in the Straw."

Wells Music company, Mirian Lychenheim performed ad- mirably as accompanist. The golden notes of this world-famous instru: ment blended faultlessly with the artistry of the violinist. In an interview this morning Francis Macmillen let it be known that he thought highly of his Cas- per audience. Especially did he commend the silence and attention of the house during his playing, and mentioned the appreciative way in which his young hearers seated directly before him heeded his selections. Macmillen is an eminent violinist who is exceptionally free of eccen- tricities. He ig a man in whom all other men find real masculine friend.
