Kathleen Parlow, Violinist, Plays New Work. of A, Walter Kramer, By Frank H. Warren. Mise Kathleen Parlow's violin used to be heard more frequently on the local concert stage than it is now. However, the young woman perivdl- cally leaves her English home to bring her artistic message to America and Americans are always glad to See and hear her. There was a good- ly mumber of them in Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon. Miss Parlow's Playing has improved. Her tone is i, rounder and purer and there is more Pp assurance, finish and finality in her 4 work. Tartini's “Devil's Trill” son- ata and the Vieuxte: A ininor con- certo were followed by the programmes novelty, a symphonic rhapsody, in F minor, by A, Walter Kramer, a New Yerker. The composition’ is dedicated to Miss Parlow herself and she performed it as though she were proud of the distinction. It is quite @ nice effort of Mr. Kramer's. ‘Two negro melodies are used in the piece, built up of nine short sections, but the composer is original enough to have his own main theme and to de- velop it logically, It is easy and pleasant to listen to. As for Miss Parlow, we'd certainly blame her if she were not grateful to'A. Walter Kramer.

Secretary Mellon, according to a lotter Nov, 4 last, made pubtic to-day by Chairman M den of the Bank- ing and Currency Committee, recom- mended a bili introduced by Mr. Mc- ng into effect the Prest- dent's suggestion. Mr. Mellon said there ‘are $10,000,000,000 of securities that escape Federal taxes. “L whink ft would be helpful,” he f the present Congress, as a part of the tax revision programme, would take some action +) propose to the States a Constitutiot ment to restrict future issues of tax exempt securities, and t! ¢ amendment that the amendment in ‘he form tn- 4n the form introduced by Mr, McFad- den merits the serious consideration of the Committee on Ways and Means. “The existenc great mass of about $10,000,000,000 of fully { tax exempt securities negessartly \ tends to defeat the surtaxes tmposed y the revenue laws, while the com- bined effect of the high surta: and the unlimited volume of tax es securities is inevitably to divert cap- jtal which would otherwise be em- ployed in produotive enterprise into relatively unproductive public ex- penditure.” —_——S—— CALL 50 WITNESSES IN THE MORSE CASE ‘Washington Grand Jury Expected to Act by End of Week.

She seems on the constant recital go, last evening's affair in Carnegie Hall being the fourth local performance by this exceptional artist. That Mme. Ney shows no sign of weakening may be adduced from her programme, which began with Beethoven's thirty-two varieties, followed by the same corn- poser’s D Miner Sonata, Schumann's Scenes of Childhood—thirteen of them sand numbers of Handel, Mozart, Mendelssohn and Liszt. But New York @udiences are in good physical listen- ing trim, and last evening's matched Mme. Ney at her own game. The pianist plays Schumann ex- ceedingly well and can stir the inter- est in other composers, She is worth hearing if only because of her in- dividuality. * The Metropolitan management last night inserted i duction of Holto’s “Mefistofele” into the middle of @ busy week that calls for a revival of “Ernan” to-night, with Titto Ruffo, the baritone, mak- ing his debut with the Broadway | singing forces; “Parsifal” to-morrow afternoon, und “Boris Godunoff" Fri- day night, with the great Challapin in the title role. This, the second | performance of “Mefistofele” for the Season, brought some changes to the cast. Mme, Easton executed a throw- back of time by switching from the role of Elena of Troy-to Margherita, and Frances Peralta stepped into Elena's shoes—if the Trojan lady wore ‘em. Then Adamo Didur took up the cloak and tights of Mephisto himself—last worn by Mr. Mardones. Mr, Mardones can sing the role and Mr, Didur can act it, so if one hears it often enough one is sure to acquire @ rounded interpretation. The hig Brocken scene is the climax of the opera and comes closest to a Ku Klux meeting than anything olae the Metropolitan offers. Mme. Peralta in the Greek episode involved Mr. Gigli in a half minute sou) kiss that even Paris himself would not have spurned, pectacular pro- | 2 CITY KEEPS 700 NURSES b WITHOUT PAY SINCE OCT. 1.)
