Baseball Team Prepares for Violin Recital Is Opening of Season Praised by Critic By Critic To h e a r Mme. Estelle GrayLhevinne in recital is to hear someone different, somet}:ting different, and ' a program out of the ordinary. In an informal recital last Sunday. afternoon at the National Kindergarten college this musician whom critics the world over have acclaimed as the greatest woman violinist, held her audience with her musicianship and the novelty of her program and her personality. With great ease and the charm of the lilt and beauty of her speaking voice, Madame Gray-Lhevinne came to h~r audience informally, introdu.cing each number graciously with little explanatory remarks that added to the pro· . gram's interest. Two rare, historical violins are Thes~ Madame Gray-Lhevinne's. "fiddles," to quote the artist, bear an unusual history. The one on which she played her first seven numbers was made in 1675 from wood, then 475 years of age, taken from the altar of an olJ cathedral that was in ruins. The depth and beauty of its tone were remarkable. With the other, of the year 1715, and for twen_ty-five years the property of the composer, Donizetti, and then owned by the 9 year old boy Mozart, who desired to become a violinist, Madame Gray-Lhevinne played "Les Petites Reins," written by him for the violin at the age of 10. The artist of the afternoon, as another unusual part of the program, introduced her 8 year old son, Laddie Gray, not, she said, "as an artist, not as a prodigy, but as a human little boy on a vacatioi1 trip from which he derives many thrills." Laddie is quite a remarkable child pianist, who gives promise of a future He is talented MEAT MARKET CO. All Telephone and C. 0. D.

The tussle will probably be staged at the Howard school grounds, but may be staged away from home. . The nine, which has been practicing for several weeks, will play an interteam game Sunday afternoon at the Howard field, and will meet for more preliminary work on Thursday evening of next week. · Prospects for a great team took ·an added leap this week when it was rumored that one of Wilmette's best known and most popular athletes probably will be seen behind the . plate during the comin~ season. The business management, led by Emil A. Nord, is seeking more subscriptions to the "Big League" boxscore program which will be printed before June 1. Donations to the team's treasury will also be appreciated. and shows unusual technique for one so young. Pressed in the costume of Mozart as he appeared at court before the kings and queens of Europe, this little musician, whose profile bore a singular likeness to the famous composer when a boy, played four numbers that Mozart played when the se1me age. Then, in the dress of the present day, he played five numbers, some of which illustrated a music lesson. As an encore he played Beethoven's "Minuet in G," his mother playing the melodv on the violin. Madame ·Gray-Lhevinne, in the selections she offered, showed to the best advantage the versatility of her technique and the temperament of a reaL musician.
