OR the first time in a long while there was a line outside of
Orchestra Rail on Sunday afternoon that extended for
nearly a block. The announcement of a wonderful pro-
gram, conducted by the popular Mr. Kolar, and the appearance
of Illya Schkolnik and Philip Abbas as soloists, was enough to
bring out a throng of music lovers. Mr. Kolar started his pro-
gram with the Overture to "Tannhauser," which brought forth
a storm of applause that lasted for several minutes. The second
number on the list were the preludes to the first and third acts
of "Lohengrin." In the first one the strings of the orchestra
showed to wonderful advantage, and the clearness and beauty
with which they played left the audience in the regions of
ecstacy. Mr. Kolar conducted both of them admirably. Mr.
Abbas contributed two numbers, "The Swan" by Saint-Saens

DIES AT HOSPITAL DISUNITES HAMTRAMCK

The musk lovers of Detroit are
thoroughly familiar with the Wednes -
day afternoon concerts which for
several years past the Victor depart-
ment of Grinnell Brothers, under the
management of H. W. Porter, have
held. Many of the professional artists
of the day, calling Detroit their home,
have made their pre-professional ap-
pearances at these afternoons. The
program • coming on Washington's
birthday brought out an unusually
large crowd and it was augmented
greatly by the friends of Adolph Hol-
lander, the talented young Ilebrew
violinist whose strides in his work are
being interestedly watched by those
who feel he has the soul of a real
artist. Mr. Ilollander, who is 18
years old and has studied for the past
five years, his first Detroit teacher
being Erik Von Myhr, who is now in
New York, and the present one
Maurice Warner of the Detroit Sym-
phony. We see the result of most
careful teaching and though the
young man has not as yet attained
all they are working for, time will
accomplish the result. In Mr. Hol-
lander's first group—
