to play il proved himself unusually

YEARS SENSATION

By j. Mach.

The sensation OF the New York
Heifetz, the youthful Russian genius
of the violin. is soon to appear in
Washington playing with the Sym
phony Society OF New York a work
from the greatest of Russians, the
Tschaikowslly concerto in d for vlo-
lin and orchestra.
Only superlatives have been found
adequate TO express the effects OF the
playing of this mere slip of a lad.
And not only praise Of his skill is
evoked, but a spirit OF pOesy is evil
dent in all that has been written
about him.

per. everything that has been said
Of him HeifetZ is simply incredible.
His tone is absolutely individual. His
technique is so marvellous that he does

acts as if he were doing nothing re-

Simplicity AstOundS.
With a phenomenal virtuosity that
has captured the most erudite Of
audiences, yet it is the utter uncon-

critic. - tone as luminous as light,
unspeakably noble: a teniQue that en-
compasses sll-these and other gifts
belong to Heifetz. But besides his in
Vincible musicianship all else pales.
When he lifts his bow his youth falls
from him; the violinist OF seventeen is
the artist Of forty. He is
at once that rare hybrid, interpreter

And again. The execution (of the

painting by del SartO, the conception
as atmospherically lovely. yet as
lneaningful, as the contours OF a

convincing proof at his every appear

ordinary violinists ever heard in
America"
Maud Powell. our violinist of wash

Tschaikowsky concerto in this coun.
try, and she. too, played it under the
baton OF Walter Damrosch. Nine.
Powell has just given a recital for
1000 boys at Camp Kearny, San

with great enthusiasm. She is also

The tendency of wise ad-
vertiSing is undoubtedly to
decrease the cost to the pur-
chaser. Take as a hOmely
illustration the case of the
motor 'buS-in pre-war
times, of course. The Lon
don General Omnibus people
popularized their country
routes by means of good ad-
vertising matter and the
well-flled vehicles enabled
the fares to be fixed at a re-
markably low figure. If the
public had not been attract
ed, the fares must have been
raised to cover running ex-
penSeS, or the vehicles taken
off those routes. So with
most kinds of merchandise.
The bigger the sale of an
article the more value can
be put into it, and that is all
to the advantage of the pur-
chaser. J. Dundas Bohn.

And she's coming here-the "gaswoman"

don't be alarmed or surprised If some strange
woman Is meddling with your gas or electric

Don't think she's a burglar and call the

wishes to call some person in the gas or cleo

the bill comes in. Just remember that she Is
