FOR JUNEAUITES Paradox is fast becoming the word for Alaska, in the career of Maxim Schapiro, noted pianist who will be presented in concert tomor- irow night by the Juneau Business .and Professional Women's Club. 'The program in the 20th Century Theatre will start at 8:30 o'clock. “In Alaska,” he-said, “a country of overpowering primeval grandeur | where one is so close to awesome Itorce of nature—here, of all places,| are persons of discriminating musi- cal taste “Far to the North,” he contin- ued his contrasts, “in Faircanks, for instance, I play on a big Stein- way, yet in the Capitol City, so much closer to the shipping centers, there is no concert grand piano available. “Ah well,” Schapiro philosophized, “one serves one's art. That service is not measured by the instrument, the size of the hall or of the audi- ence, nor by geograhy. In Sitka,” he explained, “I was dismayed to learn I would play on an upright, an instrument not adequate to my | announced program. I adjusted my | program to it, and had the great satisfaction of knowing I had given | great musica]l pleasure to everyone in that crowded hall at the shsldun‘lr IJackwn School.” H On this, his third Alaska tour, Schapiro has observed compllcnnons‘ in the spelling of his name and some . stories called him Morris. “In | Sitka,” he said, “half the posbersi were spelled with the ‘c’, and half | without. “I understand,” he went on, “that somewhere in the advance publicity, the simpler spelling was emphasized —that, for instance, you were asked to remove the ‘c’. BRING “C” BACK; OK “Oh, please bring it back!" he| pleaded. “It is as though you had | altered the shape of one ear. There are three ways of spelling the sound. Because I began my musical career 'ln Vienna, I used the German spell- ing. Now it has become a part of! |me." Russian-born Schapiro is proud of the American citizenship he ac- | quired five years ago. “I Lbecame an American,” he said, “not for convenience, but because of a deep conviction, America is not just a country—it is a profound spiritual idea. By choice and by philosophy, I am an American.” | l Schapiro so loves Alaska that he requested his manager to allow him far more time in the Territory than in any other section where he will play. “On a concert tour,” he said, “it is simply unheard of to spend three weeks for four concerts in one region, even so vast a one as Al-| aska. “But I must have more time here !—-it is my inspiration. Here, I find myself part of infinity snd in the care of Nature, out of all trouble ieven while in turbulence. With all {the bumpiness and fear of a rough flight the other day—and I am | still bumpy—it is part of this great country, and now part of me. “How Beethoven would have loved Alaska: He surely would have writ- ten an Alaska sonata or some other monumental work. I shall especially enjoy playing his Waldstein Sonata here tomorrow, in this country of ! power and grandeur and sensitive- i ness.” On his return appearance in Ju- neau, after two years, Schapiro will open his concert here with Beeth- oven, then play a group of five | Chopin compositions on the occasion of the death centennial of the lmn Polish-French composer.| (Chopin died October 16, 1849). In this group will be a Ballade, Ber- ceuse, Tarantelle, Nocturne and “the” Polonaise. The second section of Schapiro’s program will open with nine etudes, including “Ragtime Bass,” by Vir- gil Thomson. Schapiro had the honor to give the first performance Your beet bet for quick REREEEVERIIRARTESERR when you mest need it.

Three other mod- ern composers will be performed— Medtner; Ravel (“Jeux d' eaux') and Villa-Lobos, and Schapiro's concert will close with the brilliant “Venezia Napoli Tarantella” by Liszt. His northern tour began with a concert in Prince Rupert, which hE} played during the boat stop of the Prince George October 5. He flew here from Ketchikan the next day, gave a concert in Sitka last Saturday, and will appear in Fair- Lanks October 23 and Anchorage Cctoter 25, then go to Vancouver for a concert November 1. After his concert here the noted! pianist will be honored at a recep- tion in the Governor’s House, with BPWC members serving as hostess- es. 1 COURT OF HONOR OF BOY SCOUTS ' sure 2 SMART CROOKS NOW ON SCREEN AT 20TH CENTURY No two more polished or amluhlef crooks have been seen on the screen | in some time than those represent- ed by Lucille Ball and John Hodiak in the new M-G-M romantic dra-| ma, “Two Smart People,” now being shown at the 20th Century Theatre Here is a story with an unusual twist, namely that of a swindler | who admits stealing half a million | dollars in gilt-edged certificates and is willing to give himself up to the law on condition that he be per- jmitted a last four-day holiday with the girl he loves, In order to make that the smooth racketeer won't get away, the detective who| is to take him into custody is in- vited to chaperon the holiday party!
