{ RACHMANINOFF'S RECITAL. | Sergel Rachmaninoff gave his annual ‘edfl at Poli's Theater yesterday after- Joon. His usual large audience, reach- Ing the standing-room limit in size, greeted him with applause and grew inthusiastic as he proceeded through {the scheduled program. At the end he §dlayed two encores in_response to per- ‘stent request. The first was his own YTrolka.” The second was a truly imarvelous interpretation of Rimsky- Korsakof's “Bumble Bee.” > | Throughout the program Mr. Rach- | maninoff showed his usual poised re- finement in artistic reading of every fote and the taste in phrasing and tonal shading which have contributed f30 markedly toward establishing him »s one of the truly great artists of this nstrument. The wonderful Rachman- moff command of technique showed im- mediately in the Mazart sonata, jvas given delightful reading. ianist turned his phrases so neatly and {struck each tone with the precise con- 3 idence that only long, intelligent prac- i tice brings to even the greatest genius. {The Mozart and Scarlatti fairly sang 3 ‘heir liiting melodies under his agile, tifted fingers. The occasional trills in i voth left and right hand passages were and need. | - The lengthy “Carnaval” of Schumann | 3 was at its most colorful and human best | $3s Mr. Rachmaninoff played it. Its ikl!eldueoplc beauties bore no trace of | the monotonous quality in which they 0 often are shrouded and from which few planists successfully pluck them. The Chopin group was charminglv l done, The poetry of the “Nocturne in D Flat,” the varled grace that illumined | the “Waltz in A Flat” (opus 64, No. 3), iand the virile brilliancy of t! amiliar { “Ballade in G Minor” all were beau- {tifully expressed. - i In the last group was & clever “Mo- fnent Musical” by Mr. Rachmaninoff, i\'llh most intricate writing for the left thand. It should prove an addition to the repertoire of particularly able pi: anists. There also was the planist’ ement of Mr. Kreisler's “Liebes- flreud." This work, while obviously ! skilifully written and of virtuoso cal- iber seemed. to one listener, at least to have lost its innate eharm of spon- faneity and buovant simolicity in this ; jption. The frequent use of {minor-keyed chords, so truly Russian. ’ ot so foreign to the Viennese spirit of }{m ‘melody, clothed it too heavily, giv- {ing leaden anchors to the joyous, leap- ing themes. The ‘only regret of the afternoon was due to the fact that there was a total absence of any really new musie, which $o great an artist could present to ad- | yantage. Not even Scriabin appe | ?pon this program. The famous “Pre- | jude in C Sharp Minor” also was l:m;ng | | hose missing. ji e o JURY DUTY STRESSED ' BY ROGER WHITEFORD Attorney Explains Workings of | Judicial Machinery at Lions Club Meeting. i “The average man who claims there | gls no longer any justice for the average I !eld-n in the courts wijl usually be { found among that group always seeking n excuse to avold jury duty,” Roger Whiteford, ~attorney, yesierday told members of the Lions’ Club in the first bf a series of luncheon talks on the kings of individual professions.
