Kreisler
To Appear
At Coliseum
Fritz Kreisler, who has been a
dominant figure on the American
concert stage for over SO years,
will offer a violin recital tonight
at 8:15 in the coliseum. He ap
pears as the fourth attraction of
the Lincoln Newspapers Series.
Kreisler, who made his Amer
ican debut over 50 years ago in
Boston, is noted as a composer as
wlel as violin virtuoso, having
written numerous selections for
solo violin and a string quartet.
Three numbers listed for tonight's
recital are his own. His composi
tions form a standard part of
every violinist's repertory.
Kreisler is fond of good read
ing and delving into other fields
of learning. He is fascinated by
the study of mathematics and is
keenly interested in new inven
tions, sharing this dual interest of
things musical and scientific with
his close friend, Albert Einstein,
who is an accomplished amateur
violinist.
Advocates Early Entry
Kreisler is an advocate of
bringing children an early ap
preciation of fine music, for
"Music," he says, "is a builder of
character. Children can learn to
like and understand symphonic
music just as easily as what is
known as swing." He adds that
"Some swing is realy fine music
and some symphonic pieces are
musical atrocities."
Tickets in all the reserved sec
tions, priced from $1.20 to $3.60
are still available, according to
Walt's Music Store where they
are on sale along with student
and servicemen tickets which sell
for 50 cents.

tonight is:

The second offering was a scene
from Maxwell Anderson's "Win
terset," directed by Barbara
Berggren. Dale Wisser and Mar
jory Allen appeared as Mio and
Miiiamne. The highly dramatic
episode was probably the best re
ceived play of the group.
Next the audience witnessed the
flowering of young love in the
drugstore scene from Thornton
Wilder' "Our Town." An effec
tive picture of life in Grovers Cor
ners. New Hampshire, was pre
sented by Betty Schultz as Emily
Webb and Gilbert Haase as
George Gibbs; with Carol Johnson
in the dual role of the stare man
ager and Mrs. Morgan. With Dean
