JEFFERSON AUDIENCE IS
PLEASED BY HEIFETZ
WITH FINE PROGRAM

Jascha Heifetz, Russian violinist,
placed himself in the background
Wednesday night before an appre-
ciative audience at the Jefferson
theatre and presented his art in re-
cital. Impersonal and without visible
feeling, Mr.. Heifetz, rendered a pro-
gram of numbers which privileged
his auditors. Passages most difficult
came without apparent effort in
matchless. brilliant style. Featuring
each selection was, the rhythm,
marked to a superlative degree. the
spiritual purity of his interpretations
and the lyrical quality of his tone.
Probably because CT its familiar
notes, the ave Maria" of Schubert,
arranged by Wilhelmj. found most
favor with Mr.. Heifetz's hearers.
The finale of Wieniawskfs concerto
in d minor, however, was warmly re-
ceived. Mozart's '.Minuet' was char
acterized by it's marked rhythm, dain-
tiness and graceful brightness.
In his rendition of Chopin's Nee
turne in d Major, Heifetz rose to
heights in treatment of the difficult
passages requiring contrasting and
greatly varying stroking and fling
ering. Samuel Chotzinoff. accompan-
list. was offered opportunity to dis
play his talent In this number, es-
pecially, although his work added to
other offerings of the evening.
Technical skill of highest degree
was required in two numbers of un-
usual type, with tang of desert
air and the Orient, Beethoven
Chorus Of Dervishes," and the
March Orientale," the latter from
ruins of Athens" The audience APP
preciated the spirit of these selec-
lions very much, bringing an encore,
played with muted strings, which
was more effective by contrast with
the fire of the Immediately preced-
ing numbers.
Sweet melody of Tschaikowskys
compositions was well brought out in
an arrangemen by Auer, the former
teacher of Heifetz.
An unusual and especially brilliant
number was Bazzini's "Ronde des
Lutin's" which called for faultless
work of a genius. with ability to
bring everything out of his bow. his
fingers and his violin.
Mr. Heifetz's opening. Tartinis
Sonata in G Minor" seemed to find
the audience in an unsettled state.
which disappeared toward the clos
ing passages, as they came under
the spell of the artist, who seemed a
being of immobile features and mus
cles, drawing peerless notes from his
instrument.
Mr. Heifetz was generous with
splendid encores. responding at the
close of each of the four sections of
his program.
The All-Star Concerts are to be
congratulated upon bringing this ar
fist to Birmingham marking a new
milestone in musical history of the
citv.

INTRODUCTION Of.
HOME RULE BILL.
PASSED TO AP R|L.
Committee States 1t Was Not
Feasible to Attempt Pas
sage at This Session.
Optimistic Outlook

Introduction of the so-called home
rule bill for municipal control of
public utilities has been deferred to
an adjourned session of the legisla-
ture which Governor Brandon has
requested to be held in April, it was
announced by William l.. Harrison,
city commissioner and chairman OF
the League for Municipal Control.
who returned Wednesday from Mont
gomery.
The home rule bill was net intro
duced Tuesday, as had been an
made to The Age Herald by Mr.. Har-
rison, because Governor Brandon
asked that the session be limited TO
10 days, and it was thought not
feasible to attempt its passage in
that time, inasmuch as a hard fight
is expected.
Letters were sent out by Mr.. Har-
rison Wednesday, signed by himself
and other members of the legislative
committee of the Municipal League,
to mayors OF the 20 cities throughout
the state that have Endorsed the
measure, in which the postponement
of the program of presentation was
explained.
Letter to League
Following is the letter:
Your committee, appointed to draft
and present to the legislature the bill
to restore to the municipalities their
power and jurisdiction over local
public utilities, reports to you as
fellows:
First-Your committee, after care
full consideration and several con-
ferenoes. has completed a draft of
this bill
Second-The committee convened at
Montgomery on the fifteenth and six
teenth instant and carefully con-
sidered the time and mode of having
this bill introduced in the legislature.
On this question your committee has
conferred with the representatives of
municipalities who met with us at
Montgomery at our request, and a
large number of the members of the
legislature who are interested in this
legislation. and it was the consensus
of opinion that the bill should be in
troduced at the adjourned session OF
the legislature for the following
reasons:
l. The governors message recon-
mended that the present session of
the legislature be not more than 10
days.
2. Four days of this session having
already elapsed. there remain but six
days at most, during which time ii
would be manifestly impossible to
pass this bill.
8. Moreover. We are not disposed
to press the passage of this bill dur
ing the few remaining days which
must of necessity be devoted almost
exclusively to the passage of urgent
administration measures recon-
mended by the governor.
For your information we wish to
state that after coming in touch with
a large number of the members OF
the legislature we are more optimistic
than ever, and find that the opposi-
ton is confined almost exclusively to
the utility interests and tho in
fluences which they exert
