En spite of heavy fog a good-
4y audience gathered on Mon-
@ay night to hear Arthur Pol-
gon, the youthful violinist from
Vancouver. This was the sec-
‘ond in the series arranged by
the Semishmoo Bay Overture
Concert Association, and
maintained the standard set by
the first of the series. The pro-
®@ramme commenced with a
gonata by the i7th century
composer Verachini, and like
many of that period three of
the four movements were

affording contrast to a some-

cal of the school. It afforded
the soloist, however, an op-
portunity to demonstrate a re-
markable technique and to
show the quality of his instru-
ment, a Gallinano following
closely the Cremona models,
The first section of the pro-
gramme included also the Ro-
mance in F, Opus 50 of Beet-
hoven’s, The lyric passages in
this number were notable for
the singing quality of the vio-
lin and showed the ability of
the soloist to produce sustain-

what are known as “fire-
works,”

The programme was con-
cluded by “Tzigane,” descro
ed as a “Concert Rhapsody
by Ravel. Here again were
fireworks of an astonishing
and unexpected variety. The
influence of Liszt was obvi-
ous in the scoring technique,
but apart from that, only a
player with an almost faultless
control of his instrument could
have attempted it. Obviously
the soloist was thoroughly en-
joying himself, and evidenced
his mastership of his chosen
vehicle,

Only once during the even-
ing was a technical flaw to be
noticed; the intonation on the
double stopping at presto
speed was not quite as perfect
as it could have been. On the
other hand, in the several
numbers where harmonics
were ‘required, the intonation
was beautifully precise, and it
is in the production of har-
monics that so*many otherwis
good violin find a “pons
assinorum.”

Hospital Administrator

Praises CARS Work

Hospital Administrator R:
A. Williams, speaking at the
Nov. 28 CARS meeting on the
of physiotherapy that is being
done, stated that “a change of
|pattern” is gradually taking
place which will make for
greater efficiency in the work
of CARS.

“To mention one instance,”
he said, “this month instead
of the majority of arthritic pa-
tients being treated in their
homes, only 32 had home
treatment and 129 were out-
patients at the hospital.”

Mr. Williams commended
Miss Peggy Gough, physiother-
apist, for the splendid work
she is doing.

A need for voluntary in-
structors in basketry and card-
and needle weaving was re-
ported by the Crafts Commit
tee.

President Mrs. Jessie Lee}
announced that as the Sorop-

timists are

on Dec. 16, no regular meet-
ing would be held in Decem-
