CHOPIN BY KATHARINE GOODSON

The audience that greeted Kath-
arine Goodson at her second piano
recital last night comfortably filled
the hall OF the Mission Memorial
building The stage was tastefully
decorated by the ladies of the Morn
ing Music Club. under. whose patron
age this Chopin program was rem
dered
The matter Of the Interpretation Of
Chopin has come down to us a sub
ject for endless discussion. Miss
Goodson is no exception to those art
lists who have their own ideas on the
manner in which the Polish master
should be played While the effect

A "one-man recital" is not a usual

Polonaise. OPP. So which vas played
with a new vigor that transformed
this conventional show piece of the
advanced amateur into a true concert

dance, there was artistry in every
number she rendered.
AS a. final encore, Miss Goodson
gave a charming little composition OF
her husbands, which was greeted with
delighted applause
