greater variety In mood and tone-color--
might have made q program easier 20
listen to. There were times when it was
O strain on her audience to note the un-
ceaSing effort on the part of the
pianist to extract the huge volume OF
tone for some Of these works. Most OF
them require o full-sized concert grand
for adequate Interpretation.
In the opening Tausig arrangement
Of Bach'S "Toccata ct Fugue in D
Minor" the pianist was obviously q bit
nervous and that doubtless accounted
for an over-use Of the pedal ia the
toccata. The fugue, however, was very
well played with excellent sustaining of
tempo and precision Of lingering. A less
familiar number, Theme Variations
and Fugue" by Paderewski, followed. It
Is an interesting work in the cleverneSs
Of the variations and the surprising glis-
sandoS were executed with the effect OF
crystalline cascades.
Rozycki, also Of Poland, provided two
syncopated dances, probably heard for
the first time In public in Washington.
The first Of the two certainly brought
having "blue" themes and suggesting
high-brow jazz. The other was similar,
but emphasized the folk themes.
"The Lark" Glinka-B alakireff, and
''ValSs Brilliant" by Mana-Zucca, both
illustrated Miss Rybier's command of
very swift tempo. Borodine'S Eat the
Convent" would have been more effec-
tive had 1t been given less contrast in
tonal expression and more suave and
relaxed Interpretation. The Spanish
Rhapsody" Of Franz LisZt was q DASH
ing finale.

FELICIA RYBIER's RECITAL.

FELIC1A RYb1ERS hEClTAL.
A young Polish pianist, Felicia Ry-
bier, who in spite of her youth has had
much experience in concert work abroad
and has appeared with leading SYM
phony orchestra in this country, made
her debut in Washington in a recital
in the small ballroom of the Willard
Hotel last night. A unsteady audience
heard her and gave her enthusiastic
applause.
Miss Rybier is a pianist worthy of
admiration. First of all, her finger
work is excellent. She also indicated
true musicianship in her interpreta-
tons Of the compositions on her pro-
gram, and she showed q thorough
preparation and evident earneStneSs,
which qualities cannot be praised too
highly.
It was in the lovely "Nocturne for
the Left Hand Alone" written by
Scriabine, that Miss Rybier's artistry
showed to fullest advantage. The work
was beautifully played with fine legato
phrasing and soft, rounded command
Of tone. Miss Rybier has unusually small
hands for a pianist, yet she manages
the most exacting intervals adroitly.
With the exception of this nocturne
and Memberships "Scherzo," her en-
core, Miss Rybier's program was COM
posed of brilliant ''heavy" works. There
was no Chopin. Perhaps greater va
riety in compositions chosen-that Is,

NEARING CLOSE
Oklahoma Governors Fu-

ed BY Senate Tonight

OKLAHOMA CITY. March l).-
P)-The prosecuting house board of
managers today rested its impreacn-
ment case against Henry S. john
stOn, suspended governor, who has
been on trial before the state SEN
ate court.
Argument was limited to three
and one-half hours to the side by
agreement of attorneys for the pro-
secution and respondent. 1t vas
considered probable that the senate
court would vote tonight on the
charges, the verdict to determine
whether Johnston shall be returned
to office or removed.
Prosecution rebuttal testimony
was heard this morning before the
house managers rested their case
Intervening between the close Of
the prosecutions case and the oral
argument, was the Sur-rebuttal teSti-
mony, Thomas H. Owen of counsel
for the defense said, of one witness.
Owen indicated the direct eXamina-
ton of this witness would be short.
The length of the cross examination
was problematical.
1t was possible, too, that johnson
might be summoned to testify in
response to any questions the SEN
ators may desire to ask The SEN
ators reserved this right when
Johnston was dismissed as witness
after his week long testimony before
the court.
