Mr. Sanders was absent from the floor when the House, considering the deficiency appropriation bill, adopted an amendment providing for the increase.

Fritz Kreisler played a fi gram featuring Handel, I h Lalo before pacity dience at Poli’ vester afternoon. The great violinist, who: technique is so fine that the most dif- | ficult passages seem for him, | gave individual beauty to every work presented. The four movements of the Handel | “Sonata in A Major” were full of col- | orful nuances. The adagio movement | was especially intriguing in its more | somber tone: Bach's “Prelude and Gavotte in E Major” as played by Kreisler was but another example of the need for a virtuoso to fully in terpret this master composer. The | number was delightful. A quaint “Caprice Antique,” by Balogh, was the encore. Lalo’s brilliant “Symphonie Es- pagnole” was played, not only with consummiate skill, but with vivid color- ing, mounting steadily through scher- zando and andante into the finale of the rondo movement. ‘“Humoresque,” by Tschaikovski, was the encore. pro- and au- | = sy Plays Old Favorite. Saint-Saens’ lengthy but beautiful “Rondo Capriccioso,” played here last week by Paul Kochanski, opened ‘h!‘,l last group, It was interesting to note the complete difference between Mr. Kreisler's interpretation of this work and Mr. Kochanski's. Carl Lamson, Mr. Kreisler's excellent accompanist, played the piano part, which is prac- tically a duet with the violin, rather than an accompaniment, delightfully. It was followed by the violinist's ar- rangement of the “Largo” from Dvorak's “New World Symphony,” played here by Mr. Kreisler on the day of Woodrow Wilson’s funeral. It is much shorter and more effective than the vocal arrangement, “Goin’ Home,” which seems to be a favorite with all choral organizations. “Melody,” by Viee resident-elect Charles G. Dawes, was received with such hearty applause that Mr. Kreis- ler, who first made this simple but melodious composition popular, re- peated it. Debussy's exquisite “Girl | With the Flaxen Hair” followed. Mr. Kreisler seems to play the great Frenchman’s works with as perfect sympathy as he interprets the old classics.
