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
