Here hang the masterly coples of the la- mented Benoni Irwin, ~whose power speaks from the virile canvases. The collection shows coples from Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Franz Hals, Velasquez and Murillo. Miss Julie Heyneman and Mrs. Caro- Jine Rexford Johnson supplement the Irwin collection, but the support can scarcely be sald to be adequate. In fact, the reputation honestly acquired by both women is impalred by these contribu- tions. The Milis Club, Miss Henrietta Case- bolt president, will hold its usual month- Iy meeting tomorrow at the Sorosis Club house, 1620 California street. In addition to the genial handgrip of good fellowship—and the incidental cup of Ceylon—the following programme will be presented: Musical selections, Miss Laura Taylor, accompanied by Miss Gertrude Taylor: lecture, “Some Functions of Domestic Science,” Miss Henrletta de Gore, dieti- tian, Lane Hospital; music. per—but it's worth twice the sum.

W EDIFICE S THRONGED St. John's Chureh Building, the Generous Gift of A. W, INTERIOR IS HANDSOME Structure Presents Imposing Appearance, the Style of Architecture Being Gothic —es St. John's Presbyterian Church, in its new and handsome bullding, Lake street and First avenue, Richmond District, was crowded yesterday morning with worshipers when the first services were held in the edifice. The building and the land upen which X it stands are the gift of A. W. Foster. interfor being particularly effective, | with its massive, sloping timbered ceil- ing and graceful pillars. The organ, which did service in the two former edifices of St. John's, Post street and also on California, has been rebullt and fits admirably in its new environment. The windows from the California- street church are installed in the new building and the memorial windows of the first pastor, the Rev. Dr. W. A. Scott, and H. M. Newhall showing to far better advantage than when in their former setting. The east end of the church is domi- nated by a splendid memorial window, 26x183 feet, to Mr. Foster's father and mother, William and Mary Foster, who died in their old home In County Down, Ireland. 3 Other exceptionally beautiful win- dows were presented to St. John's by Mrs. Phoebe Hearst. The service$ were simply those of the ordinary Sabbath morning and were conducted by the pastor, George G. Eldredge. upon the Palm Sunday theme, the Sa- vior's triumphant entry into Jerusalem, which the preacher characterized as a | “mock triumph.” He emphasized the | contrast between the vociferous joy of | the multitude and the sorrow of Christ when he looked down from the Mount of Olives upon the benighted city, The people would have crowned him King that they might the better use him. He came to die for them. He saw in their noisy joy the evidence of their unpre- | paredness for his real work in their be- half. The lesson Mr. Eldredge educed from this theme was that many a joy- | ous, religious service is a sorrow to the Master because of their i 1} from mistaken or selfish mm;i-.m 5 The true worship, he sald, was like that of the little children in the tem- ple, whom Christ commended for their simple-hearted sincerity. Mr. Eldredge said that that was a great day for St. John's Church, but the | great occasion was a source of only sorrow to Christ unless he saw in it their simple-hearted sincerity. The music was in charge of the pre- sentor, Basil Tetson, and Mrs. - th ‘Weir Shank presided at the organ. The church is strongly officered, both in its session and board of trustees. Of the latter body A. W. Foster is presi- dent and General J. B. Rawles vice president. ! ———— Nothing_is so hard to do as beforeshand—unless it is done ‘ln.“t':: wrong way, when it is harder. g SEEE, G et e o e bl lou harder than it scems. 2 = | | judgea.

Kubelik pleased his audience at the Tivoll yesterday afternoon so greatly that | encores caused the addition of two se- lections to the regular programme. Miss Eyre did so well with a study in the form of a vaise by Saint-Saens that she ! also was honored by a demand for an- | other number. The house was not én- tirely filled, but the representation of mu- | | sical San Franciseo was neveértheless | strong and the number present would be considered a large attendance at any or- dinary attraction. | Kubelik is so completely a master of | | the viohn tlat it can hardiy be said that I he has what are known as “off days.” | The fluency of his execution and tHe | prompt response of his mental. faculties | | to the demand insure a satfstactory result | | on any occasion. But if there is any fair | basis of comparison when the difference |in compositions on several programmes | implies radically unlike moods it may be | | said’ that Kubelik was more fully in sympathy with all he undertook yester- | day than on any prewjous appearance in | | San Francisco. | He wus at his best so far as may be| He ‘stood before his audience | nonchalantiy, playing pizzicatos with his | left hand while carrying a simultaneous melody; he piled up octaves in | runs; continuous. trills that ran with all | imaginable smoothness as perfect embel- | monics marvelously from his point of | |view and dexterity and his bowing | reached the seeming limit of possibflities. | | With the addition of two encore pleces | | Kubelik had a strenuous afternoon of | work. He opered with a coneerto In G | | minor by Bruch, which has three move- | ments—prelude, adagio and finale. Then | he came to a “Rapsodie Plemontese” by | Sinigaglia and a Wienlawski polonaise in | | A major; then performed a cluster of | selections that included a melody by | | Pschaikowsky, a study in E major by | | Paganini and “Nel Cor piu mnon mi | Sento,” also by Paganini. The first re-" | sponse to an encore divided the pro- ‘The last extra | selection was added at the end of the | programme. ~ The audience remained | without exception to the end and hun- | grily wished for more. | " As may be inferred from the range of | | authors and the varying nature of the | | compositiqgs Kubelik found opportunity | | to reveal again not only his ability as a | mere virtuoso, but his clear and logical | interpretations gave new opportunities to | indicate the breadth of his reading and | the catholicity, of his moods. The Pag- | anini nu < had the “tender grace of a ; day that is dead’; the Wieniawski pol- | onaise glittered with modern luster and | was eminently satisfying to seekers tm—v the cheerful, Wikl the addition of abun- | dant melody. The best example of can- | tabile playing was the Tschalkowsy num- | ber, which was the essence of song | placed on the violin's tuneful strings. | It there was any element léft out of | the programme it was that -of intense | | passion, typified by the Successive piling | | of musses of sound to produce an ulti-| | mate climax. - But all the gentler moads | | were in evidente in bits of scherzo play- | tng, in the gufse of concerto, in violin lyrics that sang their way straight to the | | hearts of auditors. Ludwig Schwab was | | elever at the piano. The number that, Miss Eyre interpreted most satisfactor-| fly was a Chopin mocturne, which was given with much tenderness, neatness and | delicacy of phrasing and with fine in- | tonation. Kubelik will give his last concert at | the Tivoli this evening. The programme | will be as follows: c Bach), Kubelik; plano solo—() PraeOn mopiny, (b) Traumeswirren (Schu- | mann), Miss Agnes Garcmer-Eyre; (a) Valse Seherzo (Tschalkowsky).

Master of the Cello Meets With Eathu- siastic Reception. To have the exalted privilege of list- | ening to the twe nobles of all the in- | struments man has fashioned to bring him closer to divinity, and to have them played upon by those who are regarded as among the most famous, if not act- | ually the most famous, in existence on | those instruments, was the lot of for- | tunate San Francigcans yesterday aft- ernoon. Kubelik, the violin at the Tivoll, and Gerardy, the cellist, at the Columbia! And surely the noble cello | was worthy of its laurels in the hands | of this youthful master. With a fault- less techniec as an end to play upon the whole gamut of the emotions, witli a sehool that is perfection itself, an | evenness ot tome thropghout the dif- | terent registers of the instrument, there was nothing left to be asked for. _From the big, sonorous C string ap o the very top of the A string, with jts strange eyrie quality, so treacher- ous with its pitfalls In the way of in- tonation for the unwary performer, there was absolute sureness. The stamp of the master hand was upon Gerardy's playifg from the in- stant of attack in the first number, the magnificent “First Concerto™ af Saint- Saens. It W brilliant and worthy beginning to show the virtuosity of the player. There was a trill to make a song bjrd look to its laurels, as finely drawn out as spun gold: legato arpeg- gios, meiting off In the most tantaliz- ing way into a bewitching spiceato, the singing of the big lower strings ending with a rush to a climax on' the top string that made its resonant quality almost a scream; and chromatie oc- taves, with keenly correct intomation, all rendered with & feeling and breadth of tone truly remarkable.
