Kathryn McClosky, as_the flapper, seemed a little weak in her acting, but certainly looked the part.

The play was directed by the author, which probably had a great deal to do with putting it over, for the di- rection was all that could be ex-| pected. “Cattle” Last on List “The last play on the program was . one which won the first prize, “Cattle,” by Edith Ogden Heidel, and @irected by Sibyl Baker. As a bit of beautiful writing it is one of the most exceptional plays that has been seen in the Capital in months. It 1s- finished_and polished to the, last dégree and the whole spirit of the “middle border” is caught in ‘the subtle little words and actions of the players.

MuUSIC JOSEF HOFMANN'S RECITAL. Director of the Curtis Institute of Music and an inventor of note, Josel Hofmann still holds his foremost jaurels as a very remarkable and in- diyidual pianist. He made his first loeal appearance of the season at Poli's Theater vesterday afternoon be- fore a large audience which received his _efforts with a steadily mounting enthusiasm that grew almost exuber- ant by the time he reached the end of his program and played two encores ash and brilliance—Mendels- pinning Song” and Chepin's “Polonaise Militaire.” ‘Mr. Hofmann is undoubtedly a master of every phase of piano tech-| nique. His runs and trills with the | right hand are maryelous and his left is equally beautiful.9 Also, he has that intangible asset of the real artist—a distinctive tone quality from his touch on the keys that stands as his alone and would be recognizable anywhere at any time. He gave his entire pro- gram without notes. The program was opened with| “Chromatic Phantasy and Fugue” by | |l Rach, an exacting work executed with amazing ease. If there were those wio felt its soul had been stored in & refrigerator and not much thawed out by the time it reached the audi- ence, there were others who seemed enthusiastic over its performance. The Beethoven “Somata in A Major, opus 101,” followed. What lingers in the memory of this interpretation with one hearer is the exquisiteness of almost vocal polyphonic effect achieved in the singing melodies of the third and the first part of the fourth movement. Quite the event of the afternoon was the playing of Chopin's “Twenty- four Preludes.” Mr. Hofmann made it a stupendous achievement. The sketching of the varied moods and tempos of these preludes gave almost 2 musical analogy to a beautiful scenic picture where nature in many moods is depicted on the screen. The hearer could hardly help building pictures mentally as Mr. Hofmann played. A?d some of the tempos he took! n the last group were Mendelssohn and Debussy with moments of fasci nating beauty in interpretation and the Liszt “Campanella,” which, of course, Mr, Hofmann played uu}!lwhly_ Ladys — Guaranteed The Popular Lady’s - Bulova finished lar shape.

A violinist with youth and charm. Carolina Randell, has come to Wash- ington from Kansas City, the home of the vocal prodigy, Marion Talley, to make her home. She gave her local debut recital last night at the Wash- ington Club before a keenly inter- ested audience. Mrs. Randell had a program of un- usually musicianly music and the as- sistance at the piano of Mildred Kolb Schulze, well known Washington ac- companist. Brahms and Bach im- posingly graced the early part of the program, but it was Albert Stoessel and his “Sonata in G Major” as play- ed by the two musicians that ca tured the audience. This modern work with its extremely syncopated and joyous third movement especially would seem to he a welcome addition to logal violin programs. In the play- ing of this work Mrs. Randell’s bow seemed more firm, singing and at ®ase. It was obvious that both vio- -~ THE ABOVE SIGN = rates.
