GODOWSKY:B
PROGRAM APPLAUDED
Musical Artists Please Large Audi
ence at National Theater.

Leopold Godowsky. famous pianist,
and Arkady Bourstin, violinist. were
co-artists in a joint recital at the
National Theater yesterday afternoon
This concert was the last of a Ten
Star Series" arranged by A. Arthur
Smith, to bring to Washington music
lovers many of the best artists.
The program, which included music
OF the classic, romantic and modern
schools, centered most about the
Chopin group. Mr.. Godowsky excels
as an interpreter of Chopin and in
these compositions he infused all his
love and appreciation Of the great
composers work. His forceful rem
dition of Brahms Rhapsody" L
fat brought forth a storm Of applause
which MIR. Godowsky acknowledged
with an encore. Probably the most
interesting number on the program
was RavePs "JeuX d'Eau," fantastic
bit of descriptive music recognized as
ultra modern.
Mr.. Bourstin is a young and sem
sitive artist of whom great things
might be expected. He produces a
sympathetic tone quality. and his eX-
pressive phrasing of the ''IntrOduc-
ton and Rondo Capriccioso," by Saint
Saens. will not be forgotten soon by
the enraptured audience. He respond
ed with the Kreisler ARRANGEMENT of
Beethoven's "Rondino." His other
numbers were likewise pleasing, espe-
cially 'Tambourin Chinois." one OF
Kreisler'ls most difficult compositions.
Max Pirani accompanied Mr BOur-
stin very effectively.
The program follows:
(aD "ImprOmptu, B-flat, Theme with
Variations (SchuberD; (b) Tam

Saturday. March y. 1915.

This is a doubtful day. according to
astrology. Uranus, the Sun and Venus
are all adverse. while Mercury is
friendly.
Under this rule women are believed
to be at a disadvantage as the stars
seem to indicate uncertainty. change
and reversals. where their interests
are concerned.
1t is a most unlucky rule for love
affairs. but they will multiply as the
spring advances. Scandals that touch
the exalted as well as the humble are
indicated.
The seers lay stress on the danger of
uttering or even thinking evil. as the
malefic stars are held to encourage
misrepresentation and treachery.
When this Day of Judgment ends in
peace. it is prophesied that the mental
powers will be so quickened that per-
ceptlon will be extraordinarily keen.
This will make thought-readinS easy
and will cause wrong conceptions to
be very dangerous.
This is not a lucky day for aviation
or artillery activities.
Great battles are prognosticated and
methods of war will undergo changes,
1t is prophesied.
Warning is given that while there is
a sinister sign for the Kaiser, the Ger
man people may benefit in the next
few weeks. While some discourage
ment for the allies is foreshadowed
the stars indicate that Americans will
develop invincible power
Again there appears to be an un-
friendly and subtly antagonistic in
fluence developing in the East. The
Pacific Coast comes under a sway
making for sensational events.
While startling incidents will mark
each day from now on in the history
of the war. where Americans are con-
eerned, social and political conditions
will reflect the extraordinary occur
rences that will be recorded.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the prognostication of busy and sue
cessful year. but they may sustain
disappointment or sorrow in the fam
lily.
Children born on this day are likely
to be clever and Industrious. These
