WEDNESDAY CLUB
BEGINS SEASON
Enthusiastic Audience Greets
the Artists, Hans Kindler
and Margaret Keyes
Pack to an audience who knew and
welcomed them came Hans Kindler,
cellist, and Miss Margaret Keyes, con
tralto. at the first Fall meeting of the
Wednesday Club in Fahnestock Hall
last From almost every seat
In the crowded auditorium came ap
plause of greeting when the talented
joung Dutchman appeared upon the
TMif 6 fo " owe(1 by his accompanist,
Lllls Clark Hammann, whose sympa
tic work at the 'piano has given
Pleasure many times in Harrlsburg's
musical circles.
Mr. Klndler. who is still under <
twenty-five years of age, is solo violon- j
ce st of the Philadelphia Orchestra.
is control and mastery are remark
a le. The deep, rich tones of the
ce ° sing like a human voice under
a touch. The man's whole person
ality Is thrown Into his work. By a
sudden turning of the head and lifting
o the brows he appears to be In men
a communion with the unseen forces
of harmony leading him through com
plicated phrases. Tlio lightness, accu
racy and grace of his rendering of
"Chanson Napolitaine" (Casella-Kln
dler) was delightful. In Scherzo Ca
price (Camille Zeckwer), the selection
dedicated to him by the composer, he
was at his best, if, indeed, there can
be any relative degrees in the inter
pretations of so finished an artist. The
Concerto in A Minor, Opus 33, in one
movement (C. St. Saens), was, from
a lechnical standpoint, the most won
derful selection given during Ihe even
ing. Air. Klndler was especially gen
erous with encores in gracious re
sponse to the enthusiasm of his audl
-2!* C S'. following the concerto with
St. Suen's always beloved "l.e Cygne."
Miss Keyes a Favorite
Miss Margaret Keyes, contralto, as
sociated with the Metropolitan Opera
forces. New York city, has a pure,
rich voice of exceptional range and
\olume. These two essential Qualities
? reat singer were shown especially
in Der Erate ICuss" (Sibelius), as was
also tho sympathy of the reading. She
Is not temperamental or dramatic in
mannerism like so many concert sing
ers, but sincere and accurate, excellent
n phrasing and form. The pathetic
little love'song, "Coolan Dhu" (Leonl),
and the German ballad. "Schlagende
Herzen" (Strauss), gave opportunity
for display of her deep full lower
register and the contrasting lightness
and flexibility of her higher tones. A
slight huskiness which seemed to
trouble Miss Keyes early in the even
ing gave place to her usual well
rounded performance. That she is a
prime favorite with the Wednesday
Club was shown by the huge bouquet
of flowers passed across the footlights.
Another was sent to Mrs. Florence
Wessells, a well-known vocal teacher
of New York, who accompanied Miss
Keyes at the piano. Like Mr. Kindler,
(he vocalist was most kind by answer
ing with encores the warmly expressed
approval of her hearers, among these
being the charming little ballad of
childhood, "The Swing," by Eleanor
Smith-
The closing number. Agnus Del
(Bizet), was a duet by Miss Keyes and
Mr. Kindler, Mrs. Wessells at the
piano. The richness of the crescendo
working up to a finale of almost sacred
majesty and beauty left the audience
enthusiastic but a little awed and
serious.
So the door has swung open for the
beginning of the thirty-fifth year's
work of this thriving musical organ
ization which is a pride and a credit
to the city of Harrisburg.

A Tribute to Our Ladies'
Apparel and Our Prices
A visiting suit salesman who saw some of his garments
in our cases, after noting our prices, exclaimed-: "You're
foolish to put on such a small profit. There's not An
other house in the State that sells those garments at
such low prices."
We explained to him that this is the policy of this store
—little profits—quick sales —constant turn-over of
stocks—always fresh garments as a result.
And that's why hundreds of women who have patron
