OPEN TO ILL IEMBEBS R E A L E S T A T E BOARD RECORDS C a m p a i g n fo r A d d i t i o n a l M e m b e r s E x p e c t e d t o Bring- I m p o r t - a n t Result -., The Real Estate board has issued ah or der which will popularize membership in the orgenization and lead men on the outside to see a gain in being listed. Upon request for instructions, Secretary Robert Webb was notified that all rec ords on file would be open to members of the board. This means that the reports mal by the valuation committee will be accessible to members of the board and members only. Under the rules the re r ports of this committee are made in duplicate. A signed copy is given to the one applying for the services of the com mittee and the other is placed in the board's records. The value of this concession will at once be appreciated by the fraternity. For instance, the valuation committee at the request of a prominent insurance company placed values on the company's Minneapolis property amcuming to about half a million dollars. This ./company owns sixty distinct parcels of real estate here, and was willing to pay the fee for the sake of an appraisal by competent men. Thursday evening Lester B. Elwopd will again entertain the valuation cornmittee which had -been directed by a big cor poration owning a million dollars' worth of city property to value its holdings. The .committee will meet at the Min neapolis club. The real estate 'board will make a move similar to that employed recently by the Minneapolis club for securing larger membership. It is desired to get the reliable and honest men of the profession into the fold. The membership commit tee is already planning a campaign c-f accession. The board presents induce ments which ought to bring outsiders in without great effort. finger to T. B.

Brilliancy unsurpassed. Of the three artists who are to appear at the Lyceum theater Thursday even ing, April 24, none is more interesting as a man, musician or artist than Fritz Kreisler, the violinist. He was born in Austria twenty-seven years ago, and since that time has been an infant prodigy, a conservatory student, a "child-wonder," a recluse in Italy, a German soldier, and the young man, who, on the sudden ill ness of Ysaye advertised to play at one of the Philharmonics' concerts at Berlin", seized the tide of fortune at the flood, and by his wonderful playing conquered the fastidious Berlin public, and Addled his way to fame and fortune. Many illustrious names have been coupled with that of young Kreisler in his wonderful career. His first appear ance as a prodigy of only four years was on the same platform with Adellna Patti. At the famous Paris conservatory he studied two years with Massart, and to him,was awarded first prize by such fam ous musicians as Sauret * and Sarasate. And Massart prophesied as great a-career for him as for Wleniawskt, his most, famous pupil. After his meteoric tour in America at the age of 14. he took a course of Instruction under Delibes and Godard, ?nd it was the great Ysaye and Arthur Nikisch. conductor of the Boston Sym phony orchestra and later of the Lelpslc Gewandhaus orchestra, who combined to give the young violinist his opportunity for a debut. . Although as a wonder-child at the age of 14, Kreisler awoke many a responsive chord in the hearts of his auditors, it has remained for the young man of 27 with his strong personality, his sturdy viril ity, and his audacity and verve, to win again the enduring plaudits of the multi tude and the encomiums of the critics. He feels the elemental power in him tingling to his finger-tips. His bow leaps to do his bidding, and the result Is that he plays with great dash and assurance, and attacks alarming difficulties with, a boldness that mus^t astonish more cau tious players. His tone is big, heroic, yet he does not fail on the musical side. Behind all his" work there is a warmth of temperament that prevents his play ing from descending to the level of a mere technical display. His coloring is in infinite variety, and the gentler mel odies that appeal to the heart and the imagination win from this prince of vio linists an almost tear-cdmpelllng tender ness and pathos. He is indeed a great artist. The other two distinguished artists with whom Kreisler Is to appear in Min neapolis are Jean Gerardy, the 'cellist, 'and Josef Hofmann, the pianist. , : ". SEVERAL CONVERSIONS B u s i n e s s Men W o n Over t o O p p o r t u - n i t i e s i n R e a l E s t a t e . ' An indication of the way things are go ing in the real estate market is .the fact that two or three business men of the city who have not regarded real estate with favor as an investment, are now in vesting for the sake of the gain they ex pect will materialize within a short time. They have bought both business and resi dence property, the latter being in espec ially fine neighborhoods. It is property that in the natural order of things is bound to sell within the next three years at a good profit. N e w H o u s e s o n E . F o u r t e e n t h .
