Steinway Hall: The number of composers whose music is strong enough to justify a one-man concert is strictly limited and Mr. Isidore de Lara would doubtless be one of the first to agree that he is emphatically not of the number. … … Hence there is no need to consider into critical a spirit the music hear at the Steinway Hall yesterday afternoon when the programme was devoted exclusively to Mr. de Lara’s compositions – the concert being given, of course, in connection with the War Emergency Campaign, which has owed so much to the composer’s vigorous initiative. … …  In addition to Mr. de Lara himself, Miss Ethel Hook, Miss Nettle Edwards, the Duchesse Orentsia di Mignano, M. Maurice Dambios, Mr. Bertam Binyon, and various other ladies and gentlemen contributed to the programme yesterday, while there was also a dance by Miss Phyllis Pinsent.
