THE SECOND
ROSENTHAL
RECITAL

Mozart, Chopin, Brahms and Rosen-
thai were the composers represented in
Mr. Rosenthal's recital at the Metropol
itan Temple last night Not as sensa-
tional programme as that of Tuesday
night, but one stocked with valuable
literature of the instrument; and, al
most needless to write, amazingly
played. Again Mr.. Rosenthal vindi-
Gated the heaps of adulatory adjectives
that have beset his Western pathway;
his second San Francisco audience was
as dazzled as the first had been, and
the night was a glad triumph. He COM
menced with the Mozart sonata in A
major, and played it in the true Mo
Fart way, delicately, fragrantly, with
bouyant appreciation of its melodic
charms and without the Juggling in of
any false dramaisms. Then he played
the B fiat minor sonata of Chopin with
vast sorority; at times the effect was
almost orchestral. No one who heard
this Interpretation will soon forget it.
1t was less emotional than Paderew-
skis, it had less of the human sob in
the major strains of the funeral march
and less celebration of the futility of
hope in that awful, Soul-racking pres
to; it was, indeed, a healthier and less
narrowing version that the Poles; but
it was terribly in earnest, dignified,
virile, mastery conception. The Chopin
etude, the one whose speciality is
octaves Il forgot the key and number),
he gave delightful clarity and freedom,
and the A fiat major waltz with almost
ingenious fluency. Each of these pieces
stormed the audience and was repeated.
The Brahms variations on a Paganini
theme and RosenthaPs own Vienna
Carnival" on themes by Johann Strauss
were the technical sensatiOns-the one
delivered with fine elucidation of the
underlying seriousness. the other whirl-
ing, spinning, rushing and twisting in
the sheerest braVoura, and both the
summit of pianistic technique. A brace
of compositions. Romance" and Pa
pillons,' displayed the simple, melodic
and very catchy creative gift of the
player l hope that Mr.. Rosenthal will
include some more of his own work in
the concerts to come. Besides to-mor-
rows matinee he plays Sunday night
and Tuesday afternoon.

OPENING Of THE

Vesper Services in the
Cathedral.
BISHOP TIKEHON OFFIClATES
CARS RELIGIOUS REPRESEN-
TATIVE BLESSES HIS FLOCK.
Morning and Evening Programme to
Commemorate the Anniversary
Of Christ's Birth Arranged
for To-Day.

To-day is the anniversary of the birth
of the Savior, according to the teachings
of the Graeco-Russian church, and as such
will be commemorated in a fitting manner
by the followers of that faith in this city.
Special Christmas vesper services were
celebrated in the Russian Cathedral on
Powell street, near Fflbert, last night by
Bishop Tikehon, who recently arrived in
San Francisco to succeed Bishop Nicholas.
The Bishop and attendant priests were
arrayed in their full robes of office, that of
the Bishop being purple, and the effect
produced when the head of the church
in this section of the world appeared from
behind the gorgeous screenlike partition
at the head of his richly attired assist
ants and marched down the center Of the
room to the little raised platform, which
served as an altar, was very impressive
Arriving at the altar the priests grouped
themselves about the Cars spiritual rep
resentative, chanting a prayer, at the
conclusion of which priests and congre-
cation knelt while the Bishop blessed
them in the name of Christ. This SOL
emn proceeding formally inaugurated the
services, which were of considerable
length.
The atmosphere was heavy with burn
ing incense, and the singing of the choir,
the solemn chanting of the priests, COM
bined with the pictures of martyrs and
scriptural quotations which adorned the
walls of the cathedral, produced strange
feeling of mingled awe and curiosity to
the uninitiated stranger.
At the conclusion of the services the
Bishop pronounced a benediction and dis
missed the congregation.
Special Christmas services will be held
at 10 o'clock this morning and at in the
evening.
The congregation of the Graeco-Rus-
sian church in this city includes Russians.
Slavonians, Creations and Greeks, few
Roumanians and a scattering Of other
nationalities or races.

many are now in the seventies and few

in the tabernacle here. The attendance was
large, in spite of the inclement weather,
and one of the best meetings this winter

out in large numbers Hon. Karl q.

parts well and the occasion proved a sue
ceSSful one.
Stake Superintendent William Rawlins
began the services with Il few remarks
concerning the class work in question.
Elder Seymour b. Young gave an inter-
with a beautiful encomium upon DR..
Maeser, and closing with a benediction
for the congregation.
Elder George Reynolds next spoke. His
remarks dealt with the antagOnism Of
spirits, good and bad: of the way in which
the little children are taught to pray, by
repeating the words of prayer after the
teacher. and a vindicatiOn of this method.
Reed Smeot next spoke briefly, and then
DR.. Maeser arose. He spoke in glowing
terms of the work being done in the re
ligion classes in the state, of the liking
the children have for them, of the good
they do and of the intense interest he has
taken in their development.
In closing, he said that nineteen stakes
