GODOWSKY PLEASES
SMALL AUDIENCE
Noted Pianist Gives Program
of Highest Order at the
Columbia Theater.

The musical season in Washington Is
nearing its close, and the interest In
matters Of this nature seems to have
abated, judging from the scant audi
ence at the performance Of Leopold
Godowsky, the much heralded pianist,
whose recital was given at the Co
lumbia Theater yesterday afternoon
No performance in Washington this
season has achieved 30 high an order
OF merit as was reached by Godowsky.
There was a notable absence Of many
of the seeming music-lovers who hocked
in such numbers to musical events
earlier in the season. May the prom
ise of q program OF exceptional beauty
and range chosen not only with an
eye to the display OF the ARTISTS tai
ents, but to the enjoyment OF the audi.
ence as well. make the attendance at
the next performance more of a tribute
to the musical taste Of this city.
Sonata op. 81 (E fat. Beethoven, and
two songs without words, by Mendeis-
sohn, opened the performance, with
variations by Brahms on a theme OF
Paganini following. The Ightness and
delicacy Of the wonderful singing tone
In the first numbers, coupled with a
fiexibility which hinted Of unusual mus
cular ability, gave little promise, how
ever Of the technique and compelling
force which was revealed in the two
Liszt numbers. and in the Chopin So

Rarely does an artist possess the pro-
jective personality necessary for WIS.,

does Godowsky.
