A LtRED CORTOT. the French
n pianist said farewell TO US
yesterday afternoon in a re-
cital at Acolian Hall. II was given
under the sponsorship OF the Society
OF the Friends OF Music. and Mr..
Cortots hearers were of the musical
elect. Mr.. Cortot took everything
that he played yesterday at high
speed. Not that he was IN a hurry,
only that he was in the mood. Al
though Mr.. Cortot has a palette OF
many and variCgatcd colors, no too
often uses a tone OF stecly texture
and hue that he pushes to the point
of absolute harshncss. He is an in
teresting as well as distinguished
pianist. but his readings are moro
cerebral than emotional. Upon the
great List r. minor sonata he be
slowed a highly dramatic interprCta-
tion. Wcber's Invitation to the
Dance" nc played brilliantly, but at
some sacrifice OF charm. RavCrs
ravishing "JcuN d'cau" deserved
something different from the ma
terialistic treatment that Mr.. Cortot
gave It, Schubert, Mendclssohn.
Schumann, Faurc, Dcbussy and Cha
brier compositions completed the pro-
granme.

English Hospitality to American Sol

cnce CT The Associated Press)-The
A!i?erican Officers Club in London
VIII be closed in April marking the
end OF purely British collective hos
pitality extended to American forces
in England Many Americans who
have been stationed in England say
that the british people have gone
much farther in their efforts to make
them ccntented and comfortable than
they could have expected and are
carrying home with them pleasant
memories Of their stay here.
The Officers Club here probably
was the most notable achievement Of
hospitality. When American officers
began TO arrive in large numbers
there MIS- difficulty in providing club

don had resulted in clubs being over
taxed with British newcomers. Al
the suggestion Of Sir Harry Britain,
who had spent several months in the
;,nited States in 1915. the Pilgrims
organization OF which he is president
undertook to provide a club.
The palatial house Of Lord Lecon-
fed had been obtained and the club
was organized. 1t was popular from
tho day it opened and through it
American officers We're given the op-
portunity to become acquainted with
English people.
In entertaining Americans in their
homes Londoners cid not continc
themselves to men they had met at
the officers club. Almost daily.
American army and navy headquar-
ters received requests that they
designate few men for teas, dances
or dinners
\ committee of the Ministry Of IN

ing Americans for several months.
The National Sporting Club was free
to Americans in uniform every We'd

hundreds Of men took advantage Of
this hospitality.
This committee also sent enter
tainers to hospitals where American
wounded were receiving treatment
and it provided theatrical attractions
