8-YEAR-OLD PIANIST
SUCCESS AT START

Another child pianist. Jerome Rap
paport, years old, evoked won
dering comment at Aeolian Hall. New
York, Saturday evening. December L,
when he played from memory an am
bilious program that included Scar
lattfs d Major Sonata. four Bach
two-part inventions, Bach's italian
concerto. a gr1up OF eight smaller
numbers and ornstein's Pygmy
Suite. Opus o.
Precise rhythrhs, rapid lingering.
and thematic clarity marked the
lads playing. His assurance and his
poise were as unusual as his men,
ory. His tone was musical and his
style not without variety and an
occasional climax. The little fingers
seemed to tire In Scarlatti's Pas
torale," resulting in a succession of
slips. but otherwise his technique
WAS quite clean.
No wise man will base prophecies
on the playing Of q boy Of S. But
the future Of Jerome Rappaport will
be watched with keen interest. He
was enthusiastically applauded and
added several extra numbers to a
program of full concert length and

Lett Quartet Rapidly
Becoming a Favorite

The Lett Quartet organized three
seasons ago by Hans Lett. the
noted violinist, has recently COM
pleted its fall tour with most favor
able results. Its New York concert
on December . at Aeolian Hall
aroused enthusiasm among music
lovers in the metropolis, and in all
the cities where the organization has
appeared the audiences have shared
this enthusiasm over their finely
artistic presentations of classic and
modern compositions
Mr.. Lett has kept the personnel
of the organize ton intact from, its
inception, his associates being San
dor Harmati, second violin; Edward
Kreiner. viola. and Gerald Mas,
cello. On December Is the Lett
players appeared at the home of
Eugene Meyer in Washington be-
fore a distinguished audience. Lord
Grey, the British Ambassador, who
was guest, requested an all
Beethoven program. Mr.. Lett ac-
cOrdingly arranged one including
the big A Minor. Op. 1872. the L
Flat Major "Harfen Quartet" Op.

More Jeers, Less Applause
Might Improve Concerts

American audiences are nothing
if not polite. At least this is the
eingle manifestation common to
concert and tbcater audiences.
Their approval is decorcus; their
disapproval even more so. If a
singer sings we'll he is greeted
cheerfully, spontaneously. but with
gentiiity. If he sings badly. the
greeting is less cheerful. less spon-
taneous, with even more studied
gentjlity. But no matter the quail
ity. there is always some applause.
Hence. in our opera houses the Of
fetal claque exists and persists. BY
the impresariO's own confessions
the gentlemen of the thorny palms
are a necessity. The opinions of
the subscribers on this matter make
interesting, If colorful, reading.
For our own part We should like
to see injected into opera houses
some of the spirit of the American
baseball fan. He knows no favo-
rites. at least to the extent of con-
summate approval. The history of
the mythical Mr.. Casey is familiar
in poem and in a thousand proto-
types. We have seen that idol of
baseball. Mr.. Tyrus Raymond Cobb.
strike out, and we have seen and
heard the demonstrations of disap-
prevail which followed. Ali of which
resulted in the player returning to
the bat an inning or so later with
blood in his eye and the fixed de-
termination to bust the ball" A
few jeering bleacherites will do
more to keep a team on its toes
than any force we know.
The injection of something of the
same spirit into the opera house
would help. Then we might be able
to get away from the stereotyped,
the mechanical performance, the
perfunctoriness that springs from
a clerical state of mind that the
salary envelope cannot be affected
by the mistakes, the carelessness of
an evening.

JURY CONNECTS
RICHMOND MAN
Joseph Williams Gets Four
Years for Alleged Slay-
ing Of Wife.

Richmond. Va. Jan. 17.-Joseph s.
Williams. on trial here for the
murder OF his wife. was convicted
of voluntary granddaughter todax
after four days had been occupied
in hearing testimony in the case.
Unable to furnish bond in the
sum of $1,000. Williams was re-
manded to jail. The sentence i'm
posed was four years in prison.
williams played an important part
in testifying at the recent trial Of
Prohibition Agent Hall, WHO was
alleged to have killed two boot
last spring. Williams was acting
as chauffeur for the prohibition de-
partment.
Mrs. williams death was alleged
by the Commonwealth as having
been caused by blow inflicted by
williams, following 4 quarrel in "a
house at Richmond. Mrs. Williams,
before her death, admitted her hus-
band had nit her and various wit
nesses testified to the fact that at
times Williams had been abusive.
The accused man occupied the
witness stand for greater part of
the closing day of the trial and
made emphatic denial that he had
struck hts wife on the day of her
death. He insisted that much OF
the evidence produced against him
was a "frsme-up" having been de-
cided upon by witnesses long after
his wife's death and previous to
his trial
