handed over the German islands. north

CORTOT AND DUO-ART
BY DEAN H. V. STEARNs.

Listening to the concert at the
Grand theater last night gave one an
impression similar to that received
from reading "Dr. Jekyll and Mr..

sonalities were beneficent, neither one
>of them was sinister Perhaps the ST.
mile were better stated by saying that
zone had somewhat the impression re-
ceived frop looking at stereoscopic
pictures. The occasion was that of the
appearance of Alfred Cortot, great
French pianist in conjunction with the
reproduction of his own playing by
the Duo-Art piano attachment.
Cortot is a master artist. He has a
wonderful technique, a beautiful tone,
excellent taste and a sound emotion
that is free from any touch of senti-
mentality. Nothing more lovely than
his playing of the F Minor Study OF
Chopin, given as an encore; ''The
Dance of the Sylphs," THE Damnation
of Faust" by Bertoz, in Cortot's own
transcription, given as a finale, or .The
Litany," by Schubert, can be imagined
as coming from the piano. His treat
, ment of the numbers by Debussy was
sympathetic and poetic, subtly sug-
gesting the atmosphere demanded by
each Of the selections and THE Sc
guidillas, by Alberniz, was fairly radi-
ant with color and life.
Popular With Audience.
Cortot's success with his audience
was instantaneous and real. The ap.
plause after each number was vigorous
and sustained. Encores were de-
manded and given freely. There was
no doubt in the minds of the audience
as to Cortot's standing as a pianist
He is a great artist and Topeka .wi1
gladly hear him again.
