Max ROsen Is Heard i'm
Recital at Carnegie Hall

Max Rosen gave his first violin re-
cital yesterday afternoon at Carnegie
Hall before large and enthusiastic
audience. This young pupil of Leopold
Auer is an artist possessed of consid-
cradle merit and his appearances are
always pleasurable.
He was at his best yesterday in the
Ernst sharp minor concerto. Here
he showed an admirable sense of
rhythm and his bowling was free in
sweep. His intonation was usually
true, but there might have been an
improvement in the size and warmth
of his tone. Besides the Ernst con-
certo he gave the Vitali Chaconne and
shorter numbers, including his own
Romance in E minor. Frederic Person
played sympathetic accompaniments.

Wire for Ocean Sounding

A very fine steel piano wire is used
in making ocean soundings. The ocean
at its deepest point as far as is known
is 1854 feet--about six miles-deep.
This hole in the ocean is near the
island of Guam. A wire must be
very fine and very strong to support
six miles of itself in making these
soundings.
