MISCHA LEVITZSKPS RECITAL

Mischa Levitzski, one of the finest
artists in the group of younger pian-
lists playing on the professional stage,
was enthusiastically received by the
large audience present at the Jewish
Community Center last night. He
played a program of such familiar
war horses" as require Superinter-
probation to give them freshness and
convincing appeal. Unfortunately, Mr..
Levitzski did not seem to have in
SEPARATION with him last night, and as
a result there were only a few mo-
ments here and there of what he can
give when at his best Just why he
gave the program listed, a typical
program for a tyro, Is a mystery.
Mr.. Levitzski has the ability to play
the most difficult and the modern mu-
sic very well. With the modern Rus
slams such as Prokofieff, a young Po-
lish composer, especially in the lime
light.
Of the moment; Szymanowski, the
Spaniard de Falla, and q vast field of
Oriental music such as Mr.. Levitzski
must have been able to Gull for new
things on his recent worldwide tour,
why bring such hackneyed program
to the unusually musical audience
that hears these concerts? Perhaps
the word community" caused such
a decision. Yet large percentage of
the audience was made up of pianists
and piano teachers of Washington.
One lone man who gave the pianist
note before the program applauded
vigorously and alone in the middle Of
the Moonlight Sonata" and then
climbed enthusiastically to the stage
before the final encores, gave real life
to the evening and seemed to shake
Nv 0yyif1 Iii - -
dom. The best interpretations, the
most life that he gave to any num-
bers, the pianist gave to these final
encores after he had to smile at this
unusually ardent admirer. The en-
cores were the Chopin 'Etude in A
Flat Major" and the gay "Eccossaise"
Scotch Dancel Of Beethoven. They
gave a glimpse of the performer at
his best.
The Bach-Liszt Organ Prelude and
Fugue in A Minor" and the Gluck-
Brahms "Gavotte' We're played with
technical poise and precision in shad-
ing, but no spontaneity. To those who
heard Gabrilowitsch Saturday night,
they fell fiat. Mr.. LevitZski dragged
his way into the Beethoven sonata,
and only seemed to wake up to real
Interpretation after the aforementioned
movement.
The Chopin group was all familiar,
'Nocturne in F Sharp Major" But
terfy" and BLACK Key Etudes,"
Prelude in A Major" and "Polonaise
In A Flat" The encores were "Waltz
IN G Flat Major" and Prelude In F
Major"
In the last group there were two
Levitzski selections, an attractive
''Valse in A Major" and a more
Obvious "Valse de Concert" evidently
Mr.. Levitzski's first composition, as
1t was given as Opus L. There was
The Tschaikowsky 'Troika" and final
" the much-played Sixth Rhapsody"
Of List. In technique Mr.. Levitzski
Is a marvel, with remarkable left-hand
work and beautiful trills and runs
with the right. AT his best he is ex-
cellent, but. of course, no one, not
even an artist, can be always at his
best. II n

BQaY OF JUDGE kLETT REMOVED 10 HARTFORD
Taken From FaiEviev to Grave at Cedar Hill
 Cemetery

After rcposing at Fairyicw ccmo- tcrT since January 30. l92G, the body .of Judge George w. Elett, who had been actively identified with local and state politics for years prior 10 his death, has been d!sintcrred and removed to Cedar Hill cemetery ill Hartford. it became known today. The hody was taken to its new rest ing place a week ago.
 Coi W. W. Bullen. custodian of Fairview cemetery, s2id today that he did not know why the change was made. Mrs. Kleu. Judge Klett's widow, did not deal directly with him in making arrangements for the trcnsfcr of the body. Col. Bnllen said, the details being handled by Chairman Fox of the Middlctown Cemetery association.
 Ju!ge Klett's remains lay in the family plot at l'airview cemetery, where his father and mother were buried.
 Few men in the history of New Britain have been so actively idenU- fled with it's political life as was Judge Klett. Among the more inn portant offices he held were state senator, prosecuting attorney and judge of police court. He was also a state central committeeman of the republican party and was regarded as the director of republican poll cicS in this city.

Wheeling, W. Va, Nov. P-- Wheeling. the city that sent Ruth Elder forth in an attempt to con- qucr the Atlantic ocean by air, now has another aspirant for trans oceanic honors an aviator with no legs and but one arm.
 The crippled birdman is Morris H.. Daugherty, 35, of New Martinsville, near here. He has been flying for a year and is known as q fearless and competent pilot,
 Now he is ready to attempt an ocean flight and to convince Wheel ing friends of his earnestness, he is willing to contribEt2 a fourth of the cost of a plane and the expenses of q transatlantic trip. A movement has been started by Judge Alan Robinson to secure the necessary support, and Judge Robinson has been quoted as saying he believes Daugncrty will secure it, as did Miss Elder among the city's capitalists.
 Daughorty. who is county assessor of Wet2cl county, suffered the am putation of his limbs in railroad accident a number of years ago. He flies in a plane fitted with specially constructed controls.

RED GROSS ROLL GALL SPEEDED UP BY FLOOD
Two Days Ahead of Sched- ule Because of
 Storm

The annual Red Cross roll call, advanced rom Friday. opened off cially this morning with the sending out of 800 letters of appeal to New Britain residents. Packages of lit crature, buttons, and pledge cards also were sent to the branch chap ters connected with the local chap ter.
 Booths vii be maintained in the banks, under the general direction of Mrs. Howard Parsons. Packages of pledge cards and subscription lists have been sent to the police and fire departments, the post office. stores and factory offices. No soli- citation will be made among fac tory employees this year except in the offices, although letters will be sent to those who contributed last year. Men may be solicited at their homes.
 Last evening more than IS work CTS who will help in the drive. at tended an informal meeting at the Chamber of Commerce rooms Chairman Peter Crona presided. Plans and other details were dis cusscd.
 Those In charge nf the branch chapters are as follows: Ncwington. Mrs. w. T. Wells; Berlin. Rev. sam uel A. Fiske; Plainvlle, John E. Lamb. The campaign will close on Thanksgiving Day.
 The opening of the drive two days before the usual time. November II. Armistice Day, is due to the need of immediate relief for New England flood victims and to the increase of New Britains quota from 5000 to 5000 memberships.
 Chairman Crona today received the following telegram from Wash ington:
 New England's recent floods have brought the greatest disaster those states have ever experienced just on the eve of the Red Cross roll call for memberships. The national officers of the Red Cross believe adequate relief to the sufferers can be given through a greatly increas- cd number of persons enrolling in the Red Cross during the coming roll call. Chapters may receive volun- tary contributions for flood relief at the time of the roll call, and they should make this clear. but New England's expression of sympathy for those who have suffered should come largely through membership in the Red Cross. Your roll call ap- peal should therefore be intensified by giving everyone an opportunity to join and thereby directly assist the flood sufferers
