RUDOLPH POLK IN RECITAL American Violinist Makes Philadel phia Debut Successfully Rudolph Polk, nn American violin ist who gave up bis studies in Europe to come home and enlist in tbo Ameri can army during the war, thus postpon ing his debut for thrco years, gave a successful recital at the Academy 'of Music last evening. Mr. Polk chose for his pilncipal num bers tho Q minor Sonatn of Tartlul 5S?ntthH.lh,rd 19onc,t (n minor; , Snint-Saens. Ho also played two groups of smaller numbers and responded with several encores, making a very excel ent Impression upon his audience. His best feature Is his tone, which is very powerful and clear and his tech nique, both, of tho bow nnd of tho left hand, Is excellent, although ho never forces It, to tho front at tho expense of his interpretation. , While his tone Is powerful, he pays comparatively llttlo nttentlou to tho dynamics In his longer numbers und is inclined to pluy too much of ouo tono color nnd degree of strength. Tho con- r-nrfn tuna tvnll i nnn mt.l fix i.j...i difficulties, which nrc not small, wcro vuauy ovurcuiue, iiuvcriiiciPHM, he ap peared to "better advantage )n tho smaller numbcis, several of which he was oV.lgcd to repeat so enthusiastic was tho applause. Ho Is conscien tious nnd evidently gavo his best all the time. With tho maturity of stylo and of musical thought which only tho .years nnd experience enn give, he should make u namo for himself on the Ameri can concert platform.
