NEW PIANIST HEARD.
Michael Won Zadora's First Recital
Proves Interesting.

Michael Won Zadora. pianist, gave a re-
cital yesterday afternoon in Aeolian Hall.
Mr.. Won Zadora Is Polish musician,
who has quite recently come from Berlin
to be at the head OF the pianoforte depart
ment OF IA local music school. He APP
peared as the assisting artist at a Kneisel
concert last December when his work in
ensemble made a favorable impression.
According to advance accounts taken
from the European press ne has played
with success IN numerous European cities.
He has also been pronounced there to be
an unrivalled performer of Bachs music.
His programme began with three arrange
ments OF compositions by Bach. the organ
prelude and fugue In a minor. arranged
by himself. and two choral preludes
transcribed by Busoni. Now Comes the
Gentle Saviour" and "Rejoice. Beloved
Christians" Then followed Beethoven $
sonata. opus III. and the same com
poser's "Ecossaisen." Next In order was
II group of Chopin etudes which included
the c major. Il major, A minor. q fiat
major. T. fiat major and minor. and in
closing an etuds, "Feux Follets," and the
"Trovatore Paraphrase" of List. The en-
tire list OF compositions comprised exam

were steadfastly avoided.

this was In part owing TO nervousness.
There was a lack of clarity in rhythm,
some undue haste and above all Insult
cient dignity and repose Of style. The
second choral prelude was much better
played. and this in spite of tendency
toward overdue sentiment. Mr.. Won Ia

was on the whore of much interest In

IN THE GRIP OF DEVIL FISH
Captain of Fishing Launch, Being
Torn From Boat, Kills Monster
With Hook.

Long Beach, Cal.-Wrapped In the
writhing suckered 'tentacles o: 4 mon
ster devil fish and with the malignant
green eyes of the horrible creature
staring into his own during a 20-min-
ute fight for life in small l0unch ID
miles off Long Beach the other day.
Capt A. P. Mason of a fishing launch
suffered SO great physical and mental
agony that he was unable the next
lay to give a coherent account of his
unusual and terrible battle.
Mason left Long Beach in the morn
ing to fish for groupers. While pull
ing up his lines at the grouper beds
Mason was seized by the tentacles OF
the 16-foot devil fish that had become
sntangled in the line. One tentacle
bound Mason's right arm to his body
and another encircled his neck, and,
despite the captains fierce resistance,
he was gradually drawn farther and
farther over the gunwale of the boat.
Luckily he seized gaff hook with his
left hand and after 20 minutes of fight
ing killed the sea monster.

PUBLIC DINNER A NUISANCE7
New York Newspaper Says 1t Is, Both

grateful in the ears long unused to it,
and by reminding each other Of what
good place the old home was, and

Sun. But the old custom has long

ton because Of the inordinate atten-
ton required of the diners to long
array of speakers, none of whom has
anything in particular to say, and at

great majority of persons who go to
these dinners do not know or care
what they eat, and therefore gobble
the usually very Indifferent food set
before them and wait, helplessly, for
"the speakers" Their own indiffer-
ence is much to blame for the general
stodginess. It is encouraging. of
course, to observe that the disgust
with such Stiffness as this has finally
resulted in an explosion which would
do away entirely with the public din
