NOTED POLISH PIANIST
TO BROADCAST TUESDAY

A recital by Ignaz Friedman,
world-famous Polish pianist, will be
broadcast by wEAF on Tuesday
evening.
. Ignaz Friedman, Polish pianist,
made his American debut in New
York city early in January, 1921,
and thereafter in twenty recitals
in the next two months established
himself throughout the East and
Middle West as one of the worlds
greatest virtuosos OF the piano.
forte. In musical circles his over
whelming success occasioned little
surprise, since for many years he
was known throughout Europe as
a master whose genius was equaled
by few. Musicians and. critics in
the United States were quick to
agree with the cognoscenti Of Eu-
rope and South America that Fried
man Is the fourth and last Of the
noble cycle Of living Polish pianists
which musical history will record as
the greatest quartet of artists of
the pianoforte ever to be produced
at one time by one country. The
names Of them ighty to be con-
jured with, are Paderewski, de
Pachmann, Hoffman,, and finally
Friedman. Composer, scholar, poet
and virtuoso, Friedman in every
way measures up to his celebrated
colleagues.

like to be the instrument Of fur
nishing such q service TO the coun.

were mighty glad to get home again.
Some of us go out in the summer time pretty
grouchy from the heat and with our mental perspec

cool Oft and get slant things outside of the valley,
we begin to see that there few sections in the state
that have many advantages as we enjoy. True, we
nave few hot, uncomfortable weeks in midsummer
put isn't that the very thing that has made Imperial
Valley known the world over the most productive
garden spot, for its size, in the world?
Nowhere in all the state right now are there any
communities any more prosperous than and certain
1t is that there are quite few spots that would be
elated If they could show the same prosperity and
splendid business conditions as Imperial Valley.
Aside from the pure material advantages, there's
lots of satisfaction in getting back home where every
mans your friend and neighbor. Here Jim Smith
slaps John Brown the shoulder with real fellowship
and there's a warmth and sincerity about the hand

So that we're all back and full of pep and

ideal towns in all America, right here in Ell Centre, if
we'll all get together and pull the way. We ad-
