Two Pianists, Young Woman
and Child, Share Day at
Aeoiian Hall

There were two piano recitals yes
teroay. at Aeolan Hall Each was
given by member of the gentler sex,
one OF them in the early twenties. the
other mere child, vet each of them
an artist OF high degree of attain
iheht; he afternoon recital was given
oy Miss Madeleine Brard, who is
out sixteen years OF age, yet who has
alreaoy won more serious recognition
audlences to any chile Of her age since
'he e, ooylsh days Of Josef Hofmann.
This young French girl has rightly
been brought to America in aid of a
franco American art site entente. for
she is at once one of the most unusual
and the trUcst artists of the pianoforte
decade
Miss Brard possesses a rare COM
plhauon OF technical virtuositv and
Poeuc feellng, controlled, as it is to be
cApecteo from pupil of the Paris Con-
scrVatolre, by just taste and sense
OF measure. Her playing yesterday Of
the Chopin ballade, Opus %, and Of the
two CHOPIN prcludcs was really mas
terful and marked perhaps the high
point OF the afternoon. in these num-
bers she displayed delicate fem
mine sensibility, combined with some
thing which was masculine in outlook
and even IN repression. 1t was play
ing which was never febrile. but which
was infused with a warm glow Of
healthy emotion. Other numbers which
she cssayed. and always with success,
were Ssint-Sacns's arrangement of the
ballet music from Gluck's "Alcestc. "
LISTS "Saspiro" and also his Eleventh
Rhapsodic. She was greeted bv a large
audience. which showed it's delight in
no uncertain manner
The evening recital was given by
Aurore La Croix, the young Massa.
chusetts girl whose New York debut
last year received much favorable no
tlcc. Miss La Croix is pianist o1
sensitive musical feeling and of an ex-
cellent technical equipment She was
best last night in the Brahms varia
tons and fugue on a theme Of Handel
where the clarity of her playing ant
her rhymatic sense were finely eviden t
and in the Chopin Nocturne, Op. Is, No
|. which she gave with an exquisite
delicacy. Among her last group were
three numbers from Edward Royce
"A Set Of Eight" prelude Of De
busy, Cyril Scots "The Garden OF
Soul Sympathy" and MacDowells 9TH,
Eagle" Throughout her recital Mis-
La Croix showed true poetic sense
and while at times it was a poetr.
slightly lacking in the warmer attri
butes. it was always sincere and full
of charm. The audience was large an
finely appreciative.

attacking the Irish from that chair, and
to-day he entered the chamber. walked
over to Mr.. Penrose's chair. and be-
gan what proved to be long nap.
Mr. Penrose sent a note up to the
presiding officer, pointing out that per-
sons in the gallery would consult the
charts showing where each Senator's
desk is, and would think Mr.. Williams
to be Mr.. Penrose.
After a little scurrying round, Mr..
Williams's colleague, Senator Harrison,
hurried to Mr.. Penrose's desk, and,
after rousing his colleague, walked
with him into the cloak room.

Surrogate Fowler yesterday af-
irmed his previous decision that Mrs.
IIetty Green did not have her legal
re idence in New York and therefore
her estate, estimated at about $780,

Surrogate Fowler held that Mrs
Green had her residence in Bellows
Falls, Vt

Travis, the Appellate Division sustained
the findings OF Surrogate Fowler, but

The State Controller complained that
the Westminster Company, which was
Mrs. Green's holding company and
owed her S26 100000 at her death, was
New York corporation and that the
lax should be collected here. Surro-
cate Fowler held yesterday that Mrs
Green conducted a private business, was

public office.
