Rachmaninof Recital.

The wonderful Russian pianist,
Rachmaninoff. was heard in recital
at the President Theater yesterday
afternoon. The event had originally
been sheduled for Polls Theater. but
recent structural changes in that
house made necessary its transfer to
the President, and. with 1t, an i'm
mense audience that taxed the ca
paclty of the smaller house. and. no
doubt. caused some disappointment
to those who were unable to gain ad-
mission.
Washington students and music
lovers should know the master pian-
ist by this time. but it is doubtful IL
any or all OF them combined could
convey In a brief newspaper review
anything like fair conception OF
what yesterdays recital really was
for the benefit Of those who unfor-
tunately could not hear it. 1t Is easy
to announce Rachmaninoffs program.
and those familiar with its splendid
numbers might imagine much as to
how they were played. but who can
describe the poetic wizardry of Rach-
maninoffs moods. his inspirations, his
marvellous technique in exhibiting
the possibilities Of sound and Of pro-
ducing with a poets mood of light
and shade the beauties of tones
caught in dreams of inspiration by
the great masters of music. Words
can never do it, even the words of
him who may have won the heights
attained by the performer himself.

Beethoven Sonata Appassionata.' -
Then came the wondrous beauties Of
the Chopin Sonata. Opus 33. with
it's captivating scherZo. and the

summate artistry that seemed to
command every resouce of the great
pianist, and left an impression tina:

seemed to suggest war and the Jangle

The continued applause of a great
audience, whose emotions had Deen
aroused, apparently, to Shigh pitch,
recalled the pianist twice after the
regular program. but 1t is doubtful If
those who did not know even cared
