A pair Of hands tossed several thou
sand Indianapolis citizens into a
frenzy.
The hands belong +. Sergei Rach-
maninoff, Russian pianist.
The deluge Of applause came at the
close of Rachmaninoff' recital at the
Murat yesterday afternoon. A near
capacity house had been swayed for
a little over an hour and a half by
this master.
The first symptoms Of what was go
ing to happen followed the Chopin
suite. which opened with the famous
"sNocturne" and was followed by
''Valse" and Sonata, Opus S5." 1t
was not until he had played LISTS

have experienced many ovauons,
and I am writing this guardedly and
about eight hours after the concert.
I never before saw an Indianapolis
audience go wild as the one did at
the Murat yesterday afternoon.
Even after the program was com
pleted, the audience remained in the
seats and the aisles, applauding and
begging for more. RachmaninOff
played two encores and after several
more bows finally threw up both
hands in complete surrender.
Don't let any one tell you Indian
apolis does not appreciate the best in
music. The audience yesterday paid
honest to goodness Yankee money to
hear this man. He gave more than
the program called for. Indianapolis

the old Persian poet an intellectual
machine, but pictures him as a warm
bloOded Romeo when a youth and as
a man of marked intellectual attain
nents in his old age, but with an
appreciative memory Of the days when
he was young.
This movie gives Mr.. Post an op-
portunity to impersonate Oman Khay-
yam as a youth chose were the days
when he scaled the garden wall to
WOO his lady fair) and then to play
Omar as an old man who still remem-
bers with bitterness the romance of
his youth. Post carries to the screen
his ability to create complete charac-
terizations on the stage. He is an
artistic performer who appears to ad-
vantage while basking under an arti-
fetal moon. He knows how TO love
and he knows how TO deliver his lines.
You really get the impression he is
actually talking his part in this movie.
Some people probably will insist
that THE Masquerade" is his best
movie, but those who really enjoy
costume plays. expertly done, will
have a glorious time witnessing
"Omar the Tentmaker." Don't be
afraid of this movie because some one
might call it a costume play, but give

chance to thrill you by their work in
this beautiful Persian version of q
sort Of a Romeo and Juliet.

I am not press agent for any piano

this week is contributing another
chapter toward better music. In the
first place the Circle orchestra IS at
its best. Secondly, a musical nov
city, THE Music Mirror is being
presented. In this novelty a Duo-Art
piano is used. This splendid instru-
ment has preserved for future gen
erations the playing" Of great plan
lists. A demonstration Of the accuracy
and the value Of this playing piano is
shown when an artist plays in COM
parison with his recorded playing.
The piano and the pianist actually
