OVATION TENDERED
Recital VIOLNIST
Jascha Heifetz Delights Immense
Audience at National Theater.

With every seat in the auditorium
filled, 800 persons crowded on the
stage and others standing In the rear,
Jascha Heifetz, boy violinist. gave
a recital at the National Theater yes
terday afternoon. This was the sec
ond appearance of the young virtu-
oso in Washington this season.
Heifetz produces a rich, round tone
giving an almost perfect Illusion of
the voice. His technique is unques-
tionably perfect, but there seems to
he missing an artistic quality that
in all probability will be developed
with years.
The program gave him opportunity
to display his technique rather than
interpretative ability. After the Son.
alta, Z Major, No. ?. by Haendel,
Heifetz gave Wieniawski's Concerto,
D Minor, which pleased the audience
so well that he was applauded for
nearly five minutes.
After twice bowling IN acknowIedg-
ment of the tribute, Heifetz played
The Star Spangled Banner" while
the audience stood and again left
the stage, but he was again recalled
by applause In the hope he would
give another encore. At the end
OF the concert he was forced to re-
turn to the stage several times to
acknowledge the enthusiastic demon
stration.
Mr.. Andre Benoist gave Mr.. Heifetz
very able assistance at the piano.
The program follows:
Sonata, Z Major, No. 90 CHaendeD
"Adagio Cantabile," ALLEGRO" Lar

and let her pass. And now she's do
ing splendidly.
Kitty's small life hasn't been easy
at all so far. She is one of a family
of several brothers and sisters. Two
years ago her father disappeared, and
he, never came back. The mother has
tried to support and take care of the
family since. But the double job has
been very hard.
When Kitty gets out of the hospital
she is going to need shoes, a coat.
and other clothes very badly. If she
had had the coat a few weeks ago,
the chances are that she wouldn't be
in the hospital now.
So IL you like little girls with brave
hearts, who smile when things look
worst, you are asked to send Kitty
some clothes. Miss Sullivan, of the
Washington Asylum Hospital, will re-
ceive any contributions

character of the information he is
gathering.
From other sources, however, reports
accumulate that convicts at the prison
have been "bled" persistently under
the guise that it was necessary to pri-
duce some money before they could hope
to get parole. iU
While G. A. Sheridan and j. A. Ho-
ran, the two guards at the prison. who
were charged with having connection
with this traffic in paroles, have been
discharged, suspicion is most striking
ly directed toward Parole Officer Kel-
Ter, who is said to exercise greater auth
ority over the convicts than even the
warden.
Because Of the pull Keller has with
Governor Withycombe, who has stat
ed more than once that he relies on
Keller's recommendations in granting
paroles, the convicts know that they
must win the favor of Keller before
they can get out of prison. The con-
sequence is that his word is law among
the convicts, while the authority of
Warden Murphy is something to be
winked at.
What the attorney generals investi-
cation will bring forth is Unknown, but
lit is generally believed that Attorney
General Brown is going to the bot
tom fittings at the prison and that he
win find bad mess.
