NINE. SAMAROFF'S RECITAL
Plays Before Immense Audience In
Academy In Forum Series

Nine. Olga Samaroff gave the first OF
the Forum musical affairs in the Acad =
emy of Music last evening. in the form,
OF a piano recital. The auditorium was
crowded to its utmost limit. every seat
being occupied and about 100 chairs
being placed on the stage and the
program. which was as we'll selected
as it was performed. was received with
every evidence of delight and thorough
appreciation by the audience.
The first half of the program was
devoted to Chopin and consisted OF the
Halladc in A fiat. the nocturnc in T
sharp, the etude in the same key and
the great Sonata in Il minor. the one
containing the famous funeral march.
Nine. Snmaroff gave a thoroughly char
acteristic Interpretation of the great
Polish composer. playing them all with
perfect execution, as was of course to
be expected. and with n fine poetic
feeling which was never allowed {"
drop into the merely sentimental as is
SO often the case with the modern inter-
pretations Of Chopin.
The second part consisted Of the
Brahms rhapsody in f. fiat. two num-
bers from Debussy. the Liebostraum in
\ hat Of List and Ernest Hutcheson 5
arrangement of the Ride of the Valky-
r!ea. This variety Of composers and OF
the various kinds of technique and in
tcrprctation was perhaps more severe
in its demands upon the performer than
the exclusively Chopin group. Where
Brahms and Debussy, for example.
sometimes say pretty nearly the SAINT
thing. they are as far removed as the
poles in their manner of saying it, The
splendid manner in which Nine. Sama-
rolf interpreted the different com
rosors was a triumph for her artistry.
She was obliged to give two encores,
playing Krcisler's '"rambourin Chi
noiS" for the first and a nocturne by
Grieg for the second.

ENTER
 FOR EVENING
 HIGH SCHOOL

With more than 1.45O students registered, the evening high schools attendance has this year shattered all records. According to John T. Wadsworth, principal of the school. the registration of more than 1.450 students is without parallel at this time of year.
 So many students sought to take up the secretariaI course that the number of typewriters was 9ound to be entirely inadequate. Nor were there enough machines in the do- mesttc arts course and many students were unable to get into classes. Prin- cipa1 Wadsworth announces. how ever, that such students should re- turn at once, because sufficient ma chimes are being obtained to take care of all applicants.
 The classes in radio and radio code are also proving popular. During the world series. MT. Ham, the 1n- structor, delighted his students by ob- taining for them returns from the championship games.
 A class in clay modelling will prob- ably be organized soon under com petent man. Students desiring to take such a course are invited to send their names to Principal Wadsworth.

 When the market siunnps the rner- chants and manufacturers try to keep the price of raw silk at a certain level and among these means are the restriction Of output and withholding of sales under a certain figure" says the newspaper.
 ''If these devices fail, they ask for government assdStance on the ground that ray silk Is the most important article of export in the country. The government has been doing every thing to propitiate them.

When the spring cocoons appeared on the mar ket the ray silk market at Yokohama. maintained great activity and high price with the consequence that man. factUrers bought cocoons at a very high price. The market, since has suffered a decline and raw silk is now quoted in the neighborhood of 1,S0o yen.
