16 2 AMUSEMENTS Fritz Kreisler Recital. ! Tn spite of the morhing hour and the heavy rainfall, Keith's Theater was crowded to the doors yesterday for the Fritz Kreisler recital, and | Jatecomers at the box office turned relpctantly back ait@r hearing the verfunctory “sold out.” The program, divided into three groups of selection, seemed short, although the artist’ was forced to augment it with four encores. Prob- ably it was because the time flew- as swiftly as the deftly wafted violin h glanead lightly over the After two final encores the | co was still loath to depart, and the applause continued so per- sistently that Mr. Kreisler Teturned 10 the stage with his accompanist for an additional selection. Their ap-| pearance brought a demonstration | such as is rarely heard, for the entire | resounded with cheers, | tles and mping until the ist lifted, his instrument and Playing Schubert’s “Moment Mus ‘Two remarks overheard in the audience giv interesting impres- of the virtuoso's art.

The mood changed from sunshine to shadow, but each transition revealed new ~loveliness, and the faint minor strains of, the “Allegro Molto,” the whimsical piz- zicato interludes of the “Allegretto” and the quick dancing tones of the “Allegro Animdto” were all equally appealing. “Lotus Land." by Cyril Seott, was anpthor outstanding Selection on a * program _which _was composed en- tirely of “chefs d'oeuvre.” This tone- poem is so vivid in its visualizatign of the east that its mystic harmonic theme seems to cast a spell upon the listener.

Kreisler's interpretation yesterday illustrated his reconstructive skill, as the plece was originally written for the piano. Two of the artist's own composi- tions were interesting features of the recital, “La Gitana” and “Rondino on a Theme by Beethoven,” the lat- ter given as an encore. Additional encores were “Spanish Serenade,” byChaminade, and “Melody in A Major,” by Gen. Dawes. ELENORE DE WITT EBY. St, Patrick’s Players in “The Upper Room.” The St. Patrick's Players presented Mgr. Benson's passion play, “The Up- per Room,” last night; performances to be repeated each Tuesday and Thursday during Lent, at Carroll Hall, 921 G street. This dramatic organization, now in its second year of existence, gave to the production a reverent gymboliza- tion of a tragedy as old as Christi- anity and as new as the faith of a child. Bibljcally correct as to cus- tom and dress, and staged with pro- fessional rez tained a high degree lence. The three acts cover a period that has its beginning in the upper room, where the Last Supper has been cele- brated, and the guests departed, and closes with the sunset of Good Fri- day. The scenes between convey a very real sense, historically and emo- tionally, of the anguish of those who suffered and those who relentlessly misunderstood, throughout the hours leading to and following the fi 1 cruci- xion. \ The cast was as follows: The Doc- Robert Droney; Achaz, Luke Samuel, Miss adeli Joseph, Lawrerce Robert Droney; The Voice, sh: John, Miss Adelaide as.
