Spalding Is Encored By Hoch Audience
A reversed procedure was in operation last night at the closing attraction of the University Concert Series when Albert Spalding, foremost American violinist, appeared on the stage after intermission before his audience had returned to their seats. Upsetting the popular conception that all artists are tempermental, Mr. Spalding waited good-naturedly until everyone was seated, then proceeded. bers pl S
One of the most brilliant numbers on the program was Saint-Saens "Caprice." The number was a virtuoso piece, and Spalding successfully projected the waltz-like theme.
In Beethoven's "Sonata In C Minor, Op. 30, No. 2," Spalding and his accompanist, Andre Benoist, shared honors. Veering from the usual rugged, brusque interpretation of the sonata, Mr. Spalding and Mr. Benoist connived to present the central theme in a suave manner.
American Group Included
The American group of numbers on the program consisted of Samuel Barber's "Andante from Concerto for Violin and Orchestra" and one of the artist's own compositions, "Etchings." Spalding's composition held the audience's attention through its vivid scene painting.
Adding another of his own num-
Mr. Spalding closed the program with Debussy's simple "En Bateau," Chopin-Wilhem's "Nocture Op. 27, No. 2," and Chabrier-Loeffler's effervescent "Scherzo-Valse."

Spalding Is Popular
As evidence of the artist's popularity, Mr. Spalding was called back to the stage for four encores. The violinist obliged with de Falla's "Spanish Dance," Ravel's "Habanera," the Rumanian "Hora Staccato," and Brahm's Waltz.
Throughout the concert, the audience was impressed with the violinist's apparent desire to make beautiful music rather than to exploit his personality.
An unusual sidelight of the concert was the presence at the concert of Mrs. John Ames who heard Mr. Spalding in Florence, Italy, just after he had made his debut. Saint-Saens was the accompanist for the Florence concert.
