of marked degree was reflected In "The
Evening Post" for example, one read:
"Mr. Bonnet played splendidly-making
every number interesting-even the old
fashioned But the final number, the Fan
taisie and Fugue in Minor of the titani1
Bach never was old-fashoned and never will
be- It's massive architecture lowered over the
rest Of the programme like the Woolworth
Building over a group of bungalows. Per
haps the most worthy of the preceding num-
bers was Buxtehude's Prelude, Fugue and
Checonne'- might easily pass fer one
CT the lesser works of his great disciple.
Mr. Bonnet played the Fantastic and Fugue'
majestically, POLITICALLY; his repatriation Of
the fugue was unusual perhaps, in its plan
issimo effects, but Bach loved variety, and if
Z had ever occurred to him that his COM
position would still be played two centuries
later he probably would have annotated them
more carefully, instead Of passing on the
details by word of mouth"
"The Journal thought Mr.. Bonnet
brought both scholarly and revivfying
enthusiasm" to these examples Of the
works of ancient composers, while his per-
Torrance, in the estimation Of "The SUM-"
was mastery" Versatility of a high or
der was noted by "The Herald" which OBJ
served that if the organist excelled in his
interpretations Of the French composers.
''he reaches heights of musical art in his
playing of the Northern masterpieces. %
And "for brillance Of technical execution,
for clearness of exposition, his playing in
Buxtehude's Prelude, Fugue and Cha
conne,' and in Bach's Fantastic and Fugue
i'm G Minor. was UNSURPASSED"

Harold Bauer and jacques
Thibaud

A T THE tiny Punch and Judy Thea
"a ire Thursday afternoon, Novem-
- Der 8, these two artists gave the
first of three recitals designed to present
all the Beethoven sonatas written for
piano and violin. OF these sonatas there
are ten. and the first three, Opus II, in d;
Opus 90, in G., and Opus 30, in minor
were played upon this occasion. "The Sun"
felt safe in saying that the ensemble work
OF these two artists has never given great
er delight, the intimacy in the arrangement
of the unique little auditorium proving
ideal for their purpose and enhancing
the sympathy OF spirit and clarity and
finish Of their delivery together Of Bee
thoven's music" Their work, according to
"The American" was marked by "faultless
artistry" and balance always maintained
with no attempt at individual DONNA
ton" THE Globe" said:
"The limpid clarity Of Harold Bauer's
touch. the poetry Of his phrasing and the Sc
renity and finish Of Jacques Thibsud make
an excellent combination for the Beethoven
piano and violin sonatas. There were ex-
quiste moments moments TO make
the listener profoundly grateful TO the So
ciety Of the Friends Of Music for organizing
this series. Dir. Bauer was in superb form.
In the major sonata his tone was so rich
and varied as 70 suggest at times the notes
OF reed instruments. And in the c minor
there was a massive, sonorous cantilena, a
profundity almost orchestral Mr.. Thibaud
IS 10 be commended principally for the deli
eacy, the symmetry the architectural So
briefly Of his playing. Between the two Of
them they made the sonatas not so much
monuments Of classical music as vibrant,
thrilling expressions Of human emotion"
To The Evening Mail" it seemed that
there are some dry spots in these sonatas.
But also wealth Of beauty, Of which both
artists made the most, without ever de-
parting from the legitimate lines of inter-
probation"

In Canal Three Hours. rs

A Grant six" automobile, pur-
chased recently by Harry McFNay, OF
this city from the Wenner Auto Sales
Company. underwent rather unusual
test as 70 its sturdy construction last
Saturday when the owner backed the
machine into the canal at Great Falis.
The car was submerged for abopt
three hours In six feet OF mud and
The car upended, supported by the
back OF the tonneau. and was COM
piete!y buried 10 the canal, the only
visible part being the number plate
attached to the radiator. After a
space OF three hours the machine was
hauled upon the bank, the water and
mud drained from the crank case and
OF under its own power. The ignition
and starting systena were absolutely
unaffected by the untimely bath, and
operated Immediately. -.
Outside of being covered with mud,
/. the car showed no signs OF any dam
and the car cleaned not a single trace
could be found which would indicate
its experience The upholstery was
not injured In the least. and apparent
ly the machine received hardly a
scratch.
Philadelphia, since the days when
Ben Franklin trudged into the old
town with a loaf OF bread under his
arm, has been dubbed Slow by its
sister cities. But Philadelphia Is now
going in for speed in the automobile
racing game. In the suburbs of the
Quaker City they are completing a
motordrome which will hold S0,0OU
spectators. Experts say that the two
mile track will be the fastest in the
country. and they are buttressing the
turns with heavy timbers to make the
track Withstand a speed OF 40 miles
per hour.
Probably this track will be the scene
Of many a record breaking perform

10 one thing that Is just about set
tied beyond all dispute. Practically
! every driver will use the one brand
of lubricants that keep a car free from
| friction-Dixon's Graphite Automobile
| Lubricants.
! The speed kings know that Dixon's
are dependable. that the friction prob
lem-so pressing, where great speed

Dlxons. Here's a problem that Mr..

lowing the path the racing drivers
