Godowsky Sole Heir to Genius of Dead, Pianist Says. A little 0ld man, with long, gray hair, short, stubby fingers, and & square body bent with asthma, welcomed a few friends at his hotel last night. It was Vladimir De Pachmann, consider- by many crities the greatest ist in the world. Today at the National Theater he will give a con- vert and all musical Washington will listen to the master interpreter of Chopin. His mother was Turkish and father was German. He was born in Russia and his children are French. As he himself expressed it with a quaint grimace: “My nationality is like cafe au lait, tea and chocolate all mixed together. The old master was in a gracious mood in spite of a tiresome journey from Norfolk, where he gave his con- cert Tuesday night. He chose to talk about the great composers, with the mellowed outlook of his three-quar- ters of a century of life. Loves Old Masters. “Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin and Schumann—they are the old mas- ters. There have been none like them since their time,” said De Pachmann. “Godowsky is the greatest composer today. He is a great friend of mine, Godowsky, and he has fine plang technique says to me, ‘T write music, but you play it for e, b, his etudes—I play them every but not for the public. I have my two and a halt hours of practice with them tomorrow morning. Days ive evening concerts, I play four s during the day. And always I play Godowsky. I will play one or two for you.” Down on his stool before the Laby grand in his apartment literally bounced the eager old pianist, and from under those famous fingers rip- pled unbelievably swift and belllike runs with clever fingering and the ease and straightline method that has been worked out by De Pachmann, and is to be a heritage from him to all who play the piano. Added eharm was given these and several of the famous “twenty-four” preludes of Chopin by the facial expression and comments made in the characteristic De Pachmann manner. Dislikes Modern School. a brave soul present asked er what he thought of the of music—Debussy, Ravel, Seriabin, Cesar Frank. The old artist head and gesticulated in ardent disapproval. ‘hey are no good—none of them. Worse of all, Debussy, and as for Cesar Frank—he is so ‘dead’ But | SLENER %’& Perfect quali .shaped vests: high neck, low sleeves, A big bargaln for a full season’s wear.

Grieg, he newer ones who is near-great, not the genius of those old ones.” De Pachmann, himself, is a com- oser. No less an artist than Lisat, at whose fect De Pachmann worships humbly, praised his “F Minor Con- certo.” But De Phchmann is more exacting regarding his efforts at com- position. Shaking his grizzled head, my indescribable gestures of ad: but a composer, no, not so great. The composer today Godows! of planists, there was only one me—Liszt.” Other memories swarmed to the fore in his fascinating monclogue, and De Pachmann told of a luncheon with “the two great ones,” Liszt and Wagner, when, upon De Pachmann’s playing of Chopin's Minor” Wagner embraced him and kisied his hand. “And I said, ‘Oh. but, master, you should not kiss my hand,’” sald De Pachmann. Again, while on his honeymoon with his wife, when he was 35 years old, De Pach- mann met Rameau and won that com- poser's warm praise. Still discussing the art of musical composition, the old man told with parental pride of his own son Leoni, who is in Paris, and his talent for composition. “But, although I am proud of him as my son and know his work is good, he has not the genius that the old masters had,” eald the candid De Pachmann. Paris is the clty best beloved of all by this planist, but ho says that Ber- lin and Rome are the two greatest musical cities and the places where he finds the most appreciative audi- ences. There. and rarely elsewhere in public, will be play Godowsky's works. “The people of Berlin and Rome they understand my friend's music, sald De Pachmann. When talking of his revolutionized methods and his genius of playing. the old man expressed his views on religlon. Very contradictory views they aro, for he says it s the intel- lect that, through the material, does great things—yet he admits genius. De Pachmann has much respect and admiration for the sciences and places them on the,same level of Importance as the arts. —_—ee——— SHALL WE TRY HIM? He came into the office with a firm step.

Many children have a tendency to weak ankle and arch which may cause the ankle to twist and the heel to “run in” as shown in the illustra tion. ‘While most children require no more correction than is afforded in the Regular Foot Form lines as fitted by our ex- perts, there are special styles for the correction of different cases.
