Pictures Are Of
Unique Interest

The bird, animal and travel motion
picture film that will be shown at the
A. c. armOry this evening as the fifth
number Of the Citizens Lecture
course, is comprised Of pictures that
were taken 10000 miles from Ameri-
ca and 1000 miles from the nearest
human habitation, in a land never
before seen by the eye Of man, so
far as known. Deep-sea creatures
never before seen even by scientists
were brought from a depth of three
miles below the surface Of the sea,
and the blizzard was photographed
on what is known as the windiest
spot on earth. Adele Land, Antarctic,
where the wind attained a velocity Of
216 miles an hour, and the average
velocity for p months was 80 miles
an hour. The film is not only the
tragic story of a thousand mile
sledging journey, but has many
amusing scenes.
The AustraIasian Antarctic expedi-
ton, by which this film was taken,
was comprised Of Sc university grad
yates, covered a period Of q months
and cost 100000.

To Be Symphony
SOIOiSt March IS

Leopold Godowsl1y. to whose ap-
pearance in concert at the Crpheum
Wednesday evening local music low
ers are looking forward with much
pleasure, will be soloist with the
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra at
st. Paul, March Is.
A genius Of the pianoforte, Godow-
sky has devoted the youth and vigor
OF his body. his soul and his spirit to
the mastery Of it's mechanical intri-
cactes; to the acquisition of O re-
markable technique, and to the task
or rendering this stubborn instru-
ment of wood and metal, an elastic
means Of superlative intellectual ex-
preston. He has made 1t his obed-
lent servant in the domain Of wide
glanctng and emotional interpreta-
ton. In all the marvels of GOdow-
sky's tone work 1t is noteworthy that
from the minutest to the superlative
effects he never overplays.
A species Of rapprochement seems
to exist between the piano and him
self; relation as exquisite, tender
and loyal as that upon which de
Pachnan insisted when he asserted
that the keyboard was his spouse, to
whom he should be forever faithful
and true.
GOdowsky comes to Fargo from
Winnipeg, and is just completing a
Pacific coast and Canadian tour. A
Los Angeles music critic comments
thus on his appearance in that city
late in January:
He had a large audience in the
Philharmonic course series at Trim
ity Auditorium and played to it with
all this old-tims brflliancy.
1t was interesting to note that the
audience seemed most interested,
outside Of the brilliant close, in the
group Of musical antiques Godowsky
used in the center of his program.
Their quaintness and personal APP
peal reached his auditors more sure
ly than the more formal classics.
The above mentioned group of
antiques Is included in the
Fargo program
