XMAS CONCERT OF WEDNESDAY CLUB Hans Kindler, Cellist of Phila delphia Orchestra, Assisted by Members of Club "Let all the earth rejoice, rejoice and sing. And Heav'n with loudest hal lelujahs ring." Such was the spirit of tlio Christ mas concert of the Wednesday Club last evening at Fahnestock Hall. The program opened with a aeries of an cient carols by the club chorus under the direction of Miss Conkling, Miss Helcher taking the lead in the solo work. Best of these was the render ing of the ever favorite "Holy Night" (Franz Gruber) the song whose ap pealing melody carries back of it the story of a lonely man's grief. The only outside talent was the famous 'cellist, Huns Kindler accom panied by Ellis Clark Hammann at the pluno. Mr. Kindler might almost be termed a boy wonder for he is only in his twenty-fourth year. lie is violoncellist of the Philadelphia Or chestra and his wonderful sympathy, technique and skill place him among the few masters of his art. There was much of interest to his audience in watching the constant play of ex pression over his face, so completely was he one with his beloved music He had a trick of dropping his head until his ear came close to the strings as if to catch hidden mean ings. His "Gavotte" (Mehul) Was Played with a light delicacy and charm which drew such applause that he was obliged to repeat the number. It was only by remembering the con ventions that his audience, as the darkies say, kept from "shuffiinV From file difficult, technical "Varia tions Symphoniques" (Boelmann) to the "Scherzo" (Goens) Mr. Kindler was perfect in skill and finish. The perfect blending of the voices of Mrs. Bumbaugh and Miss Mld daugh and the dignity and majesty of their rendering "Benedictus from Christmas Oratorio" (Saint-Saens) formed one of the finest numbers of the evening. The carol "As Joseph Was A'walk ing," so old that its origin is lost in the haze of antiquity was sung by Mrs. Harris with that sweetness and clearness of enunciation which al ways characterizes her work. In "Tliu Cradle Song of the Blessed Virgin" (Barnby) she was accompanied by >a violin obligato by Miss Sara Lemer which brought out more fullv the pathos of the song. Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Decevee each in selections of the Chrlstmastlde car ried out the idea of the general pro gram delightfully. The trio, Mrs. Decevee, Mrs. Cox and Miss Seaman in "Holy Christmas Night" (Lassen) accompanied by Miss Lemer on the violin were splen did in the quaint beauty of the music and its appropriate wording fading softly into silence as the celestial vis itors faded from the sight of the sheD ards of Galilee. The closing number, "The Sailors' Christmas" (Chaminade) by the club chorus, Mrs. Cox, soloist, was of the decidedly "different" type of Christ mas music. It was very finely done with a low humming refrain of the sea breaking in upon the words. The platform was backed with tall fir trees and ferns and crimson poin settls made an appropriate setting for one of the best concerts of the year ANNA HAMILTON WOOD.
