HOFFMAN, ENCHANTS
WITH PIANO MAGIC

Josef Hofmann. master pianist.
was presented at Polls Theater
yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Will
SON. Greene.
The audience. q large one. was
easily the most appreciative Of the
season and was in perfect accord
with the. artist. The interior set
ting which was used, that of the
second scene of the first act OF
The Crimson Alibi," was such as
no musician has enjoyed In WASH
ingJon in many Q day. and might
easily have been intended for an
Old World studio. II was In this
atmosphere that the. audience sat
spellbound while Mr.. Hoffman, LED
them through a maze of Beethoven.
Debussy, Weber. Chopin. Dvorsky
and Strauss.
The Beethoven Sonata in c
Major" gave the pianist opportun-
ity to display his wonderful tech
mic. perfect phrasing. and matchless
tone. The Chopin suite. composed
of four old favorites. was most en-
Enthusiastically received. The effect
of the 'Polonaise in A Major"
however. was somewhat marred by
the instrument. which was In no
way worthy of the musician. e.
Much interest was manifested in
the three numbers by the mysteri-
Gus Dvorsky. about whom much
has been written. A positive state
ment has lately been made by Mr..
Hofmann's manager to the effect
that Dvorsky and Hofmann are
one and the same. These compo-
sitions, somewhat reminiscent of
Wagner and Debussy. are wonder
full tone poems. In the "Penguine"
it was easy to picture that grace
full" bird performing it's morning
exercise. and in East and West"
the contrasts were marvellous. In
The Sanctuary" the bell-like ef-
fects were perfect. and we cannot
but wonder how such tones were
obtained from the WASHINGTON"
piano.
The closing number was that
masterpiece of technic. THE Bat"
Valse by Strauss-Godowsky. This
composition contains a wonderful
workingout of technical difficulties
and the blending of two melodies,
the filigree work being most en-
joyable. Mr.. Hofmann might be
criticised for making the bat, that
most despicable animal. a really
alluring creature.
1t ID not necessary to venture
far for the answer to Mr.. Hof-
mann's great fascination. He, like
the great orators. understands the
effects which can be produced by
silent pauses which prepare the ear
for any unusual harmonic changes.
Many Washingtonians will re-
member Josef Hofmann when he
first appeared here as a boy in
his little brown suit with the sailor
collar. having a miserable time try
ing to reach the pedals. 1t must
have been interesting to compare
that picture with the dignif1ed art
ist of middle age who appeared
yesterday. worthy to be called O
master.

SUGGESTION WORTHY

One OF the heavy tax payers and
economists Of this county was a call
sr at this Office the other day and In
discussing county affairs he made the
suggestion that II would be mat
Ter OF business aud economy to give
our county Judge n larger salary and
dispense with some OF the minor APP
pointees. This man considers II
would be right to pay the county
Judge az high as $4,000 year and
then be ahead OF the game II he
would take active charge OF the af-
fairs OF the county and devote his
entire time to Il.
The Times-Herald has had such an
idea In mind for some time. II had
not thought II necessary to give sal
ary equal to that suggested by its
visitor. but II does believe the salary
should be at least doubled or once
and n half. ss thus II would Justify

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attraciveness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a revela-
ton IL your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home. though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients.
While wispy. gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because 1t does 1t SO
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
oft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the
cure. mitigation or prevention of dis
ease,
