Gabrilowitsch Features ''Ein
Heldenlebel," Which Is Ini-
tial Performance in City.
Easily the most significant event
I thus far in the present season of the
Detroit Symphony Orchestra was the
performance of Richard Strauss'
great tone-poem, "Ein Heldenleben."
It was the first performance of this
work in Detroit and Mr. Gabrilo-
witsch preceded the presentation with
a lecture which took place on Wed-
nesday afternoon and at which time
I explained the tone-poem and had
the orchestra play excerps from it,
So it was an eager audience that as-
sembled on Thursday evening to hear
what is generally conceded to be
Strauss' greatest work. And let it
be stated here that, judging from the
ovation tendered Gabrilowitech and
his men, there were none in the au-
dience who were disappointed. It
was a wonderful performance of a
magnificent work. "Ein Ileldenle-
ben," written in the characteristiv
vein of the great German composer,
is in six connected sections: (1) The
Hero (2), The Hero's Adversaries,
(3) The Hero's Helpmate, (4) The
Hero's Battlefield, (5) The Hero's
Works of Peace, (6) The Hero's Re-
lease from the World, and the con-
clusion.
All these are depicted with orches-
tration that is vivid, with here and
there spots of ravishing beauty. There
is much of the dramatic element in
the composition, full of brilliant color.
In the third section is a most beau-
tiful and extremely difficult violin
solo representing the hero's beloved,
which Illya Schkolnik played in an
admirable manner. Mr. Gabrilo-
witsch's reading of "Ein Heldenle-
ben" stands as the greatest piece of
conducting this reviewer has heard
him do, and his success was over-
whelming. The audience followed his
interpretation with rapt attention,
while he led his men with absolute
authority and reached the very
heights of brilliancy and the depths
of emotion, bringing the tone-poem
to a superb climax that left the au-
dience momentarily spellbound.
All From
The Same Log
ELSE in the country today will you
find a furniture manufacturer who is going
to such extremes in producing really good
furniture that he insists that every piece of furni-
ture in a set shall be made from the same log in
order to get an exact match as to color and grain?
W
HERE
This is an example - of the exacting methods em-
ployed in building furniture at the Detroit Furni-
ture Shops.
This exquisite care in color matching is particu-
larly evident in the beautiful Dining Room Suites
which we have on display.
It is satisfying to know that, no matter what
price you care to pay, you can find a suite at the
Detroit Furniture Shops ranging anywhere from
$188 to $3,000—every one made with the same
sincerity, the same careful attention to details in
the unseen parts as well as the Been.
A large audience sat through the
seventh Sunday afternoon concert,
under the leadership of Victor Kolar,
and listened to a program that gave
keen delight. It was a fine program
that Mr. Kolar prepared for this con-
cert, which he conducted in good
style. Inez Barbour, in private life
Mrs. Henry Iladley, was the soloist
and she contributed two numbers
which won for her much favor.
Mme. Barbour displayed a voice
of good timbre and resonance that
was responsive to every demand. The
second number she sang, "Le Tasse,"
was orchestrated by her distinguished
husband, Henry Hadley, associate
conductor of the New York Philhar-
monic Orchestra. The program on
Sunday opened with the overture to
the opera "The Bartered Bride" and
closed with "Neapolitan Scenes," by
Massenet. There will be no concert
on Sunday, Dec. 24, owing to the
fact that the orchestra is at present
on a long road tour and will not re-
turn in time for proper rehearsals.
Dec. 31 will be an Italian operatic
program, with Lillian Poli and Thad-
deus Wronski as the soloists.

HRISTMAS is a time for men to forget
what is coming to them and to remember
what is coming to others, and it is in that
spirit that we publish this acknowledgment of
what is coming to you. jThe truth is that what-
ever was coming to us in the shape of prosperity
this year has come, and the purpose of this an-
nouncement is, not to solicit favors, but to
register thanks. 1The men of this town have been
very good to this store. They have responded to
its advertisements. They have endorsed its policy
and methods. And they have examined and ap-
proved and bought its merchandise. ¶They have
given us volume in return for values, sales in re-
turn for service, business in return for benefits
received. JAnd thus, they have done more than
wish us A Merry Christmas—they have assured it
with the priceless gift of public confidence!!

Isa Kramer, a much heralded ar-
tist, who recently arrived in this
country, gave her first Detroit recital
on Tuesday evening under the aus-
pices of the Detroit Concert Bureau
▪
Direction. It was a recital of inter-
= eating song which Mme. Kramer did
in a most interesting manner. To say
- that she is a singer with a voice that
----
74 is pure and true would not be telling
:7
the exact truth. In fact there were
F. -. - - -
- times during the evening when her
—... voice was hard and shrill, at other
times she sang as would a vaudeville
performer, but so great was her ar-
W tistry and her interpretive powers
'-= that one forgot the defects in her
--.—
M voice.
Isa Kremer is a very definite per-
----
sonality and a most unusual artist.
After seeing and hearing her it is
▪
quite understandable why she enjoys
.....
_,- ' the reputation and popularity that
m• , she does in Europe. Thus far this
"-- Iseason she has given three New York
recitals, all of which have been at-
tended by overflowing audiences.
Perhaps Detroit may be fortunate
enough to hear her again, and if so
anyone who wants to spend an en-
joyable evening should not miss hear-
ing Mme. Kremer.

MME. SOKOLSKAJA
Mme. Sokolskaja, one of Russia's
most noted singers, will appear here
at Orchestra Ilall on Jan. 3. She re-
cently arrived in this country from
Vienna, where she is a favorite and
where she made more than 200 con-
cert appearances.
Mme. Sokolskaja is a granddaugh-
ter of a famous rabbi in Russia. Her
vocal talent was disclosed at an early
age in the singing of Hebrew liturgi-
cal music. At the age of 14 she was
placed in the care of a competent
vocal instructor and at 18 was sent
to Petrograd to further her studies.
This artist won immediate recog-
nition as an unusually skillful inter-
preter of Russian folk songs. Her
Yiddish folk songs are particularly
