Ovation
For Krcisler
Bt charle* gentry
A STANDING ovation bv a
complete rapacity audience, both
before and after hi* performance
ua* the Ihrilling welcome Detroit
gave beloved Frit? Krcisler. the
master violinist, when he ap
peared as soloist with the Detroit
Symphony last night in Masonic
Auditorium.
Seldom have we seen a demon*
v? iat ion so spontaneous, and none
more deserved.
For krcisler, the leonine virtu
oso. gave a performance of such
compelling power of the greatest
of all violin concertos, the Bee
thoven D-major, that it overpow
ered every listener.
Few of the people in that
packed auditorium last night had
ever heard Krcisler plrv with an
orchestra. Always he has ap
peared here in recital, so that it
was a particularly important oc
casion. although we were not pre
pared for quite such a magnifi
cent one.
FINE PERFORMANCE
With such dignity and finished
artistry did he plav the exalted
measures of this great work that
one could not help hut feel the
nobility of its utterance.
Krcisler has entirely overcomei
any ill-effects he suffered from
his accident and is in perfect com
mand of his instrument.
Those who came perhaps fear
ful of failing powers had them;
doubts dispelled with the opening
passage for the violin in that won
derful first movement; those who
may have been timid about view
ing the crumbling remains of once
beautiful structure, found a per-'
feet edifice of tone in that soaring
soprano in thd second movement
and those who might have won
dered if the pace might have
slowed down, could hanily keep
up witji the facility and deftness;
of the technical wonders of that !
last movement.
MELODIC LINE
Right in keeping with the broad
melodic line and intellectual per- j
formance of the concerto. tn ;
which Karl Kreuger and the or
chestra gave tremendous support.!
was the orchestra's graceful and
harmonious reading of Reetho- ‘
ven's "Pastoral,” which Krueger
directed with great simplicity and.
quipt strength.
For such an evening of great:
music, it would have seemed more
fitting to choose an overture other
than Rossini’s "La Cencrentola.”
hut that’s what served as an I
opener, although It sounded very
much like hand organ music, com- j
jvired to what followed.

About Her Tropical Revue’
MAYBE ITS cold for Novem
ber, but just wait; there's a
musical beat wave coming Sun
'day when Katherine Dunham
brings her exciting "Tropical
Revue" to the Cass Theater for
a week’s nin.
We went to Toronto Wednes
day night, took one look at the
thermometer and immediately
flew’ back to warn you that there
iis a terpsichorean typhoon on the
way. it's sensuous, sensational
'and sends you and that's about
all we can tell you without writ
ing a review’, which, of course,
does not appear in these col
umns until after the Detroit
ojicning.
We were particularly interested
in the variety of dances and
countries represented and where
Miss Dunham had gotten all the
background for her choreographic
designs, so we stopped backstage

found bar very much excitft
about doing some new numbers.
"They really lake a great
deal of research, no matter
how simple they seem, but
actually you have to work
harder on the obvious, in many
cases, than you do on the
weird, or bizarre, numbers,"
Miss Dunham told us.
"For example, the bungle and
Jive numbers require more
study and work than some of
the unique Brazilian divertUe
ments. This is principally to
prevent them from seeming
ordinary nr cheap and yet to
still retain the authentic step
and gesture."
This will be her first visit p
