ly Bad Throughout the Day

Oakland's first community sale day
Notwithstanding murky, disagreeable
weather conditions which prevailed
all day yesterday, was a success.

Every merchant entering into the
affair agreed with every other mer-
chant to do certain things and with
out exception faith was kept one with
the other, with the result that in all
probability another like sale will be
carried on during the month of Jan
uary, 1927.
Oakland was pretty well damned

from all points of the compass to Sc
cure some of the bargains offered by
the business men of town. They got
what they came for and left Oakland
in good humor with their purchases.
The stores were crowded the entire
day and well on in the evening. Not
only did the store keepers sell the ad-
vertised articles, but they sold hun
dreds Of dollars worth of other goods,
many of the visitors making their
purchases for Christmas.

THE RUBINSTEIN CLUB.
Assisted by Fraser Gange, Presents
n Program ut the Willard.

The organization Of about 100 WON.
ems voices known as the Rubinstein
Club, under Claude Robson, director,
with Pauline Knoeller at the piano,
presented another of the annual series
of concerts in the ballroom of the
Willard Hotel last night. Fraser
Gange. baritone. was assisting soloist
with Victor Marmont at the piano
for his selections.
1t was Il typical Rubinstein pro.
gram. The most momentous work OF.
fered by the club was Clarence x.
Bawden's :'River of Stars" with Mrs.
Elmer c. Smith as the soloist. AS Is
typical of rivers. this one seemed to
go Or and on forever. Otherwise there
was nothing especially distinctive
about 1t. The soprano division of the
club seems unusually weak in voices
with genuine high registers. Most OF
the high notes were not so good. The
lower voices were much better. The
enunctation did not seem as clear and
distinct as one has learned to expect
from this club. Only now and then was
a phrase distinctly Ineligible to those
who sat in the extreme rear Of the
room.
MIR. Gange has nice quality OF
voice, but extreme tremolo and an
inclination to tighten distressingly on
his top notes. Mr.. Marmont also was
not the ideal accompanist.
At the next concert Devora Mad
worney, the contralto who has sung
here several times both in concert
and in opera. the latest occasion being
her admirable Interpretation of the
contralto role in "Rigoletto" with the
Chicago Opera Company, should prove
a drawing card for the program.

MIR. FURTWAENGLER CONDUCTS.

The New York Philharmonic Orches-
ira gave the last of its series of three
concerts in Washington this season
at the National Theater yesterday
afternoon. 1t Is concert that Will
long linger in the hearts OF those who
heard It and who appreciate the
beauty of exquisite music comprehen-
sively interpreted. Wilhelm Furt-
waengler was the conductor. 1t was
his debut In that capacity In Wash
ington. Elsewhere he has long been
famed as one Of the greatest OF Nv,
ing conductors. Much more graceful
than Koussevitsky, yet with certain
military characteristics OF motion net
unlike the great Russian conductors.
Furtwaengler is fascinating person
and genius of conductor. In yes
terdays we'll chosen and completely
Teutonic program he must nave neen
at his best for his local debut. He
directed all h stscores from memory.
The opening symphony was
| Brahms beautiful Fourth symphony
| in L. Minor" opus go lie Tiled the
| rolling rhythms of the first movement
with special significance on the broad
sweeping lines of the music; he made
the second movement so vivid In the
quality of sadness that grew from
the long sustained organ tone which
opened that movement that the pta-
nissimo passages of pizzicato moved
not a few in the audience to tears; in
contrast, the third movement was a
musical counterpart OF merry confu-
sion in chattering crowds: this move
ment was merged, with only dra-
matte pause of moments silence,
into the sonorous, hymn.like themes
of the finale, which rises into almost
70 70 }nn{cyhfc 4 n1ilGfrAl
that Quivers with the colorful emo
ton that Is a dominant quality in
Brahms works. Both Mr.. Furtwaen-
sler and the orchestra received ar
ovation at the conclusion of the sym.
phony.
/ Richard Strauss Till Eulenspie-
gels Merry Franks" probably was
never given such complete under
standing in a reading In Washington.
Every bit of the humor Of this Ca
PRECIOUS work was emphasized: the
fairy tale beginning and end were
clearly suggested. and the moment
poignant tragedy was impressively set
forth with the cloak of dignity that
such a moment demands, even in q
legend.
Richard Wagner was well chosen as
the composer TO be represented in the
third and final work on this program
The prelude to one OF his most beauti-
full operas, Die Meistersinger. was
eXceIently presented under Mr.. Furt-
waenslers direction yesterday.
In the evening, at the German EN-
bassy. Baron and Baroness Nathan
gave a reception for MIR. and Mrs.
Furtwaengler. 1t was interesting then
to discover that. like many other true
geniuses. Mr.. Furtwaengler per Sc
