When Josef Hofmann gives a piano
recital It Is difficult to write about it,
To paint the lily or gild refined gold
was long ago admitted to be task be-
yond mortal powers. and to analyze
critically an afternoon of Hofmann's art
would be more than human. Sitting in
Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon from
$50 till $50 one could only lose him.
SELF In admiration, in wonder and at
certain moments in that rapture which
comes from the contemplation OF the
fundamental emotions of art recreating
themselves in ones very presence.
The program which the great pianist
offered yesterday differed In many re-
spects from those which he has made IA
miliar here in the past. There was no
Beethoven sonata; there was no Chopin
The longest number was the last-Schu-
mann's fantasia In G major. Everything
else seemed to lead up to that. as the
vast slopes Of untrod snow lead up to
the virgin peak Of Everest. Hofmann
has played the fantasia before. He had
no new message to uncover. 1t was in
the marvellous tone picture which he
painted and in the supreme outburst of
poetic eloquence I'm the last movement
that he once more moved listeners-one,
at least-to tears.
The Schumann fantasia grows greater
with the years. Here Is the immortal
voice of the true impressionist, sensitive
to every feeling. responsive to every
mood. gifted with musical speech for the
whole gamut Of human reflection, Joy
and grief. And every measure of this
music is beautiful as pure music, clear
and simple in form and natural in idiom.
Before such a work the contortions of
the acrobatic little modernists become
as the prancings of grasshoppers under
sky in which swims q solitary eagle.
Hofmann has lived with this fantasia
since he was a mere boy. AS years and
experience have weighted his brow he
has immersed him self further and
further in its translucent depths, till

CHALIAPIN HEARS sTOPAK.

Josef Stopak. violinist. gave his Sec
ond recital of the season at Carnegie
Hall last night. This admirable artist
played to an audience filling the audi
torium. One of the auditors sitting In
a box was Feodor Chaliapin. whom Mr.
Stopak accompanies on MS concert tours
as. solo violinist
The program was of much interest.
The first number was a "Sarabande and
Tambourin'' by -Leclair. Mozarts z fiat
concerto No. 6 followed, and later Saint
Saens's "Havanaise" and kreislers
"rambourin Chinois." Just before the
closing number came four pieces played
from manuscript and scheduled as given
for the first time. They were three pre-
ludes by Frederick Jacob. American

now he is himself part of. the work.
His performance of 1t yesterday was an
overwhelming revelation OF the power of
a great artist to assimilate a master
piece.
The pianist began his recital with
Bach's "Chromatic Fantasia and
Fugue," in which the cool, pellucid quail
ity OF his tone. the business Of his phras-
ing, the unerring distribution of accent
and dynamics and the exquisite adjust
ment of the balance between the voice
parts were united in a piece of poly
phonic playing consummate In skill and
quite unusual In Hofmann's recitals.
Beethoven's "Andante Favori." which
followed, was played with q singing tone
and fastidious delicacy quite ravishing,
while the familiar Anger Over a Lost
Penny was given with brilliant spirit.
Two encores ollowing this group-the
ruins OF Athens" mach and rondo
from a Beethoven sonata.
Hofmann does not often indulge in
Brahms, but he played yesterday the
major intermezzo and the @ minor
rhapsody. The pianist found himself
quite as completely in sympathy with
the romanticism Of Brahms as he is with
| that of Chopin. Possibly some others
penetrate the spirit of such music quite
in the technical exposition Of his ideas
Surely the writer of these lines never
heard the significant elemental rhythm
of the middle section of the rhapsody

Of Rubinstein brought 1t out yesterday
Two rather tenuous Tschaikowsky
Lits Gone arranged by Pabst) separated
the rhapsody from the Liszt transcript
ton of Schubert's die ForeIle."' In the
latter the pianist paid a perfect tribute
to Liszt by presenting the composition
az an Instrumental reproduction OF
Schuberts song with it's incomparable
accompaniment. The audience begged
for encores here, but Mr.. Hofmann went
on to the Schumann number. After that
he was willing to play several additional
numbers. among them Chopin's d fiat

the history OF these exhibitions. Glass
ware and tiles now are shown. The
development OF vogue for needle point
embroidery Is reflected IN the number
of excellent contemporary examples or
this mode shown. A pretentious piece
OF American mosaic and an elaborately
carved and polyohromed altar introduce
a somewhat new note. OF textiles there
always have been an abundance, ana
this year there are sheaves Of cretonnes
printed in designs culled from the
Museums collections or in some way
inspired by objects displayed there.
Groups OF ribbons OF unbelievably rich
and intricate designs owe their ara.
besques to the covers Of old Persian
books and manuscripts. Advertising
designs display a new richness borrowed
from lAe intricacy OF heraldic ornament
or adapted from specimens Of period
decoration. Even the lowly commercial
container, the box for soap or salve or
toilet preparation, appears here trans-
splendor, which will help the product
to win advantage in these days of
keener and keener competition.
Copying of Museum Models.
1t is quite evident that American de-.
slgners. aware Of the new demands and
possibilities which the situation created
by the war has forced upon them. are
awakening to the advantages held out
to them by the museums collections
and are not slow in improving their
product by the study Of the models avail
able. That they have not always Sc.
lected the best types for their particular
design. or that they have not been
always happy in the uses to which they
have put it, Is no doubt inevitable
Ground for encouragement lies in the
fact that there Is less slavish copying of
museum models and more creative adap-
tation, or creation under the inspiration
OF museum design, than ever before.
Objects directly copied from museum de-
signs were sold in New York as "im.
ported not so many years ago. Fortu-
nately the state of American design and
OF public taste makes any such oc.
currence practically impossible now.

Wide Variety of

Metropolitan Museum OF Art this month
is the sixth exhibition OF work by man.

scum Influence, which opens to the pub
lic for the first time this afternoon.
This exhibition has become an annual
event OF some importance and the In
creasing weight which It holds with
Museum authorities and public Is aptly
shown In the fact that this year It occupies
for tho first time, and fully occupies.
the heroically propordoned Hall of
Temporary Exhibitions in the south
wing.
The exhibition, which is termed by
the Museums director. Mr.. Edward
Robinson, one of the tustificatiors of
the Museums existence. sets forth con-

the propaganda launched in their behalf

connected with the Museums staff dur

make It's collections as accessible as
possible to the designers of objects Of
Industrial art, and to this end study
rooms of one sort and another have
been provided and a special member of
the staff, Mr.. Richard F. Bach, has
been appointed to promote interest and
cooperation between the trades and the
Museum. How successful this move

together.
More Furniture Than Usual.
1t is evident that not only are more
objects shown than ever before but that
there are more important objects and
n wider variety of kinds than pre-
viously. There is far more furniture
than fn other years. and the examples
shown are perhaps moro successful in
thesr adaptatiors of classic designs to
modern uses TRAN any other type of
article shown. Rugs appear to be In the
ascendancy. Judging by the number and
importance OF the examples shown, and

the gallery make 1t possible TO dis

ANNOUNCES BURNER
FOR ACETYLENE GAS

The Ohio Generator Company an
nounccS the successful production ot 4
new Litubular burner Cor heating and
cooking with acetylcno gas.
The ono stumbling block lin tho de-
yclopmcn, OF the acetylenc Industry has
been a lack OF an essential heating burn
cr. Hundreds OF aCctylene experts have
been devoting their time and energies
toward the development OF burner that
would produce heat with small con-
sumption OF this gas. The smallest con-
sumption OF the old heaters was from
five 20 seven cubic feet per hour. Tho
new burner. il is claimed. will operate
on two cubic feet per hour. producing
fame that will boil a quart OF water
from the cold in three minutes.
The bitubular burns two perts or gas
with rs parts OF air. mixing the air be-
tween the tubes. and also introducing
air inside the inner tube ard outside the
outer tube: a new idea in burners.
Factory production is now under way
by one OF the largest stove manutactus-
c.s in Ohio and the Ohio Generator Com
pany will he prepared 20 supply their
