No, l. Edmond Gingras and com

interesting. A bow.
Nc. 2. Wheeler and Potter in a

in novel manner and then slips
back into average. A bow.
No. 8. Helene Davis: Smiles" she
is called because of her war work
and let be said for this very clever
young lady, that she, for enc, has
dropped the Il went over stuff and
is standing squarely on her merits
as coincidence and dancer which
is good place to stand. The best
act of the bill but 1t was too deep
for the audience. A bow.
No. L.. Charles F. Semon, an
eccentric CT median who gets not a

ments. Three bows.
No. IS. Boys of Long Ago" In

RACHM A n | MOTIFS
PRELUDE FAMED
OVER ALL WORLD

One noted critic has said of Rach-
mammoth, who appears in the Jeffer-
son Monday evening, January %,
under the auspices of the Birming-
ham Music Teachers association:
ut does mean something to a man
to have composed a work for the
piano that every young pianist either
plays or hopes some day to be able
to play. Not since Paderewski's
Minuet was twinkled throughout the
length and breadth of our land, has
any composition by living must
clan been as widely popular as Bach
maninoffs Prelude.
THE composer came to Massey
hall last night to give a piano re-
cital, and drew ono of the largest
audiences that ever assembled to
hear newcomer to the city. Of
course 1t was the Prelude more than
anything else that did it, but there
is also the added glamor of the ro-
nance that surrounds the man him
self. Only a few years ago when
Russia was one of the great artistic
centers of the world Rachmaninoff
reigned supreme among the must
clans of that country and his fame
as a composer had spread far and
wide into other lands" said Bos-
ton critic recently.
