Faster Offerings Given
to Make Sabbaths Blue

Berwick, Pa, March 2s.-Speciai
collections were taken in Berwick
churches at Easter services yester-
day for fund with which to prose-
cute violators of the blue laws here
The churches action follows the de-
c:sion of the Berwick Council that
citizens responsible for enforcement
must back the prosecutions. Fines
amounting to SIS have already been
imposed on viloators by justices of
the peace, which partially meets
the costs of enforcement. Appeals
were made to the congregation a.

added to the fund last night. In the

than $40 was contributed.

Dohnanyi, Pianist,
Gives His Farewell
Concert for Season
Player of the First Rank and
Authoritative Interpreter
Of Masterpieces.

Erno Dohnanyi. composer and pianist
Aeoiian Hall yesterday afternoon. The
audience was OF moderate size MIR.
Dohnanyi is not wizard OF the key
board" but great artist. who con-
strues the duty of a pianist to be in
terpretation of the composer and not
display of his own digitsl dexterity. Sem
sationalism has risen, however, to such
a level in this town that no sane in
depreciation of music or dignity on the
platform commands much attention
The conditions surrounding musical
performances at this waning of sea
son are little short of deplorable. II
might not be going too far TO say that
too many people seem TO be hysterically
seeking for new forms of stimulant to
take the place of those lately lost. The
state Is dangerous to art and to artists
The Fictitious excitements or recent days
cannot be continued, and when they are
no longer to be found In the concert hall
people are going TO look for them else
where.
Meanwhile let it be reiterated that
Mr.. Dohnanyi Is a pianist OF the first
rank, a musician of fine intelligence
and poetic imagination and an authoi-
tative interpreter OF masterpieces. Ills
programme contained three, to wit.
Beethoven's Sonata Appassionata' and
his A flat sonata, opus 10. and Schu-
mann's 'Etudes SymphoniQues.' The
pianist was not at his best in the first
OF these, in which he seemed to be flus-
tered for some reason and therefore
played too many false notes and became
at times confused in his rhythm.
In the "Appassionata" he was better,
though at no time was his tone all that
should be expected from player Of his
rank. His reading of the Schumann
number was sympathetic, broad in style,
captivating in many Of its details and
generally that OF master pianist,
though again the tone was wanting in
some Of the more subtle shades of color
which this player used to have at his
fingers ends. The programme was COM
pleted with a group Of Mr.. DohnanyPs
own shorter piano pieces.
