Music
Zimbalist Plays at Young
Peoples Concert in
Carnegie Hall

If the layman were to step into the
reviewers place at some Of the sea-
sons concerts, he would write of the
music in unconventional words. But
the result might be wholesome.
The layman, listening to Mr.. Zim-
balist at Mr.. Damrosch's Young Peo-
Pies Concert in Carnegie Hall yester-
day afternoon, and not being awed by
that artists prestige, would almost
certainly have recorded that his bow
scratched and squeaked on the strings.
1t IS fact to be faced that distin
guished executants sometimes, through
carelessness, fall into the faults Of
the beginner Mr.. Zimbalist made
bold to slur until he lost the firm con-
tour of his melodies, to blur the out
line Of his phrases, and to take so
free rubato as to lose the VITALITY
Of his rhythm.
These things the layman would
Eote, for one does not bother to re-
cord the many musicianly qualities of
such an artist as Mr.. Zimbalist, The
surprising thing is that he can permit
himself to be lax when competition
IS so dangerous as it is this season.

of familiar symphony movements and

OF z Oklahoma Votes
lStaf Correspondence

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-1ncrease ID
hor" for the massage of the Federal
suffrage amendment was given the suf-
fi-t''c workers today when it was dis
'.v"~cd that the Oklahoma delegation
with one exception would vote sol div
1or the anne dncnt. Thus in Otlahoma
sutfragists will obtain seven votes. and
as announced TODAY in TIE Trihune9
Arkansas will cast its seven votes sol.
idly Tor the amendment, while Mis-
sour Will cast fifteen, total of
twenty-nine votes from three neighbor-
ing states in the Solid South.
1t is still the solid South, however.
that endangers the passage of the
amendment, as poll by some of the
workers to-day disclosed that los
Democratic members of the House.
from present indication, would vote
against the amendment. Western and
Northern Democrats are frankly
alarmed over their party being held
responsible by the women should the
amendment be defeated, and are doing
their utmost to swing their Southern
colleagues into line. 1t is the excel
lent progress which they have made
so far which holds out the only real
nope Tor the amendment.
