HEIFETZ PRESENTS
CHARMING PROGRAM
Violinist Plays With Excellent
Technique and Maturer
Charm.

Jascha Heifetz, Polish violinist, who
is still in his early twenties, present
ed a program of fine music, beauti-
filled Polls Theater to the standing
room limit yesterday afternoon.
The opening number was the
famous "Kreutzer Sonata" by Beeth-
oven. for violin and piano. Mr..
Heffetz had an extremely gifted
pianist, Isidor Achron, as companion
artist and accompanist. In the sonata
the two instruments blended ex-
quisitely, interpreting melody with
complicated runs on the piano and
difficult double-stopping for the
violin. All three movements were
delightfully."- played, the second move
ment, the andante with variations,
being perhaps the most beautiful.
Saint-Saens' "Havanaise" was musi-
cal poetry. under the skillfuI bow of
HeifetZ, and Hubay's 'Valse Para
phrase" was filled with subtle and
original coloring. Schumann's Prophet
Bird" with its delicate. elusive
phrases, was piquant bit of con-
trast.
Handers simple and impressive
"Larghetto," was given with depth
and feeling. Joseph Achron. brother of
the pianist, composed "Stimmung''
and arranged for the violin Rameau's
"Tambourin," the next two selections
both of which were fine tone pictures
etched with consummate artistry.
The Perpetual Motion" of Ries, a
"Nocturne." by Sibelius, and Wieniaw-
sky's "Scherzo Tarantelle" completed
the scheduled numbers. A large part
of the audience, in spite of the late
ness of the hour, demanded more. The
encores y included Mendelssphr' s
dreamy "On Wings of Song" Car
tiers La Chasse." Beethoven's spirit
ed Turkish March," and Kreisler's
"Schon Rosmarin.'
Heifetz not only played with his
usual excellent technique, but with
maturer charm and feeling.

JOIN THE RED CROSS.

Surely, the American Red Cross,
through its great worldwide work,
offers you the opportunity to help
your fellow-men in the most efficient
possible way.
Below you will find its many varied
activities that deserve and need your
support:
: Since the armistice it has expend-
ed S50,000,000 for service to the dis
abled veterans of the World War and
to the men of the regular Army and
Navy. 1t is now assisting an aver
age of more than 100000 disabled
veterans and their families each
month. To more than 100000 soldiers
sailors and marines on active duty it
continued to give the same support
to preliminary volunteer relief and
Home Service it gave during the War.
In 500 communities the Red Cross
Chapter is the only family welfare
agency. Volunteer workers have pro-
duced in the past year 100000 gar,
ments, 100000 surgical dressings,
and $1,000 pages Of Braille for the
blind; they have made $4,000 motor
calls and fed $4,000 persons in can
teen service. In the Junior Red Cross
5,452,745 enrolled school children are
learning the value of service to 9TH
ers. With the children of 40 other
countries they are creating bonds of
friendship and understanding.

muzzle with his thumb over the end
of the barrel, in some manner the
load was discharged, blowing the
thumb off at the joint and going so
close to the side of his face as to
blow the brim of his hat off, one shot
taking effect in his cheek, which bled
profusely. He hurried to a physician
who dressed the wounds and sent him
home, deeming it unnecessary to send
him to a hospital.

ENDED IN AN ANTI-CLIMAX

AS might easily have been foreseen
from the beginning, the Democratic
campaign ended in an anti-climax.
The strength of the Democratic NOM
inee, John ". Davis, was never very
great, but it was greatest at the mo-
ment when his name was placed at
the head Of the Democratic ticket. A
few hours later when the country had
learned that Mr.. Davis had dictated
the nomination of Charles W. Bryan
as his running mate, his popularity
suddenly suffered relapse and has
been diminishing ever since.
The nomination of Mr.. Bryan for
Vice-President on the same ticket
with Mr.. Davis came as a shock to
the admirers of Mr.. Davis because of
the nicongruity of such an arrange
ment, especially when made at the be-
hest of Mr.. Davis was obvious to all.
If Mr.. Bryan had been selected by the
convention without any word from
Mr.. Davis popular feeling would have
been different. Then Mr.. Davis would
not have been responsible for his run
ming mate.
The revulsion against Davis on ac-
count of the nomination of Bryan was
not due so much to objection to Mr..
Bryan as it was to the manifest in
sincerity of Mr.. Davis in selecting
Mr.. Bryan for the position. Bryan
and Davis had absolutely nothing in
common; as candidates on the same
ticket they appeared as ridiculous as
a horse and an OK hitched up to the
same wagon.
1t was perfectly obvious that Mr..
Davis had started his campaign by
resort to what he deemed to be eX-
pediency and not support of prin-
ciples and policies. He offended his
own conservative friends without
gaining the least favor in the yes of
Mr.. Bryan's radical supporters.
On tn incoming after the nomina-.
tion of Mr.. Davis the newspapers of
the country, regardless of party af-
filiations, predicted that his campaign
would be conducted on a high plane.
From the very start there was moth
ing in his addresses to bear out this
expectation. His was a campaign of
insinuation, of accusations, Of fault
finding. There was nothing/of con-
structive nature to justify the very
favorable prophesies that had been
made concerning the character of the
campaign he would conduct.
Not only did many lifelong Demo-
Gratis desert Mr.. Davis at the polls,
but many independent voters who oc-
casionally vote the Democratic ticket
could see nothing in his candidacy,
his personality, or his principles, to
attract them in campaign in which
he had man like Calvin Coolidge for
an opponent.
The Democratic party is not only
defeated,it is disappointed in the kind
of leadership displayed by the man
whom he chose to honor.
