With her usual clever insight into musical affairs, Mrs. Truman Aldrich. Jr., whose Matinee Musicales have be- come since the initial one of last win ter, the most popular musical events of two seasons, has chosen artists ill this years series who are dialnetricaliy opposite to those she presented last season.
 In this way Mrs. Aldrich has given music lovers in Birmingham an oppor- tunity to compare the art of such q pianist as MT. Ernest Hutchinson of last year with MT. Rudolph Gang, who appears this afternoon in programme of rare beauty.

Gang appeared with the Nolpe orchestra
 MT. Gang may be rightly called "Pio- neer in Piano Noveltiesi' for when he began to frame up programmes some years ago. he endeavored not merely to follow the line of the least resistance, but to become an innovator, and fnvite the wonder of his audiences and the coll fusion of his critiques.
 Diverging from the beaten track of the classics, MT. Gang found DebussY and Ravel to be new and ethereal standards and he placed them upon his list as nov elties-in fact, MT. Gang was one of the first pianists to present Debussy in Chi cago-a shors time after which MT. Har-
