MR.. GABRILOWITSCH PLAYS.
4 Piano Recital OF Unusual Interest
and Beauty.

Ossip Gabrilowitsch. the Russian pianist.
gave a recital Yesterday afternoon at
Aeolian Hall lie had been heard here
before this season, both in a Joint recita!
with his wife, Nine Gabrilowitsch. con-
tralto, and az soloist In two symphony
Society concerts. Yesterday, with the field
OF action quite 20 himself, Il Is hardly
necessary to say that the occasion now
served to attract a large number OF lovers
of high class planUrorte playing TO his
concert who manifested keen interest
throughout
Mr. Gabrlowitsch began his pros
with Beethoven's sonata in \ major, opus
2, and CLOSED Il with MosZkowskis "Etude
de Concert" in q HAT major. known by
title as Les NHques.' Between these
numbers he played the Brahms variations
and fugue on theme by Handel, opus "a /;
six CHOPIN etudes, opus 10 and 20, In
Il major, T. major, T. HAT minor, major,
c sharp minor and g minor, aud two
two Russian pieces, the "Humoresque" OF
Tscherepine and dance OF the Elves Of
Sapellnikoff.
His presentation OF these works was on
high plane OF interpretative beauty as
Nell as technical accomplishment In de-
tail Il was one enriched throughout with
fine taste and imagination In revealing
the musical content of each piece and
consequently contained no attempts to eX-
plot through any superficial display. AS
already said. II received attentive interest
from his many listeners, and their apprc-
citation was most hatterlng.

Beethoven sonata was OF unusual interes

It Is probably true, az Mr.. CLARK
saws. that there are n few people,
very few, who buy things In a spirit
Of vanity because they we're made
abroad although America produces
articles as good or better. On the
other hand it is likely that in the past
few people have ever bought by deliber-
ate preference home made goods. The
natural instinct OF the buyer Is to seek
the best for the money regardless OF
origin.
In the present or recent crisis the
attention of the public was suddenly
concentrated on the sufiiciency Of the
country to its own needs in all the
broad field of common use What II
supplies from Europe were to be scant

vided by the United States itself. At
the same time the prospect OF wide
