benefit of the harried scribes. some of
these plays were given a semi-priyate
viewing in advance. This enabled the
critics to record their Impressions in
manner that gave the uninitiated
the impression they were in several
places at once. 1t also gave the man

managerial fraternity quite out of
proportion to it's actual value.
In some cases. however, it was
deemed best to publish brief list

on which they would be reviewed,
Thus providing unbroken employment
throughout the week for reviewers
who might otherwise have managed
to steal a night off. Whatever the
course pursued all agreed that it was
as strenuous a period as Broadway
has witnessed in years.

Birmingham music lovers as one Of
the outstanding events of the entire
musical season is the announcement
made Saturday that Sergei Rachman-
inoff, world famous Russian pianist,
will appear in a recital in the JEFF
ferson theatre Monday evening jan
uary p.
Rachmaninoff is considered today
by many as the greatest pianists Of
the age. He has been appearing in
America for four seasons before au-
dienees that have fairly taxed the
capacity of the auditoriums, and in
each city where he has appeared his
concert has been nothing less than
a sensation.
Rachmaninoffs famous Prelude in
C sharp. minor is known to every
musiclover. and to be able to hear
the great composer play this world
known composition will indeed be a
rare treat for Birmingham. His pre-
gram here will include many of his
own compositions in addition TO
Chopin, Debrussy. Kreisler and List.
