LOCAL ARTISTS
WELL RECEIVED
Mr. Clay, Miss MacC onachie
Show Marked Ability
In Concert

An enthusiastic audience greeted
the young pianist. Brownsville's
own Henry Clay. Tuesday at the
Junior college auditorium.
The program was most artistic
ally arranged. carrying recognition
OF classical cultural attachments Of
n audience.
The appassionata, which Beetho-
ven considered his highest attain
ment In sonata form and whose in
depreciation is suspect IN The
Tempest" Is the expression Of the
whole gamut of physical and emo
tional feeling. The reserve with
which Mr.. Clay held TO the ira
oitional reading Of the score was
not only delightful but prophetic.
Technique is forgotten in a~pprecia-
ton OF q restrained and cultural
taste.
His Debussy number was limpid.
and fairly sparkled with brilliancy.
OF the Schu--ann sonata in z mi
nor. enough can not be said except
mention Of a lingering regret that
the entire opus was not played.
From an inspired artist, the Aria
speaks as one soul 10 another.
Schumann Is only responsive to
great souls. and can be expressed
BY few as Mr.. Clay interpreted him
last night.
His technique was masterful IN
the Chopin numbers. OF ii II can
best be said that It IS so skillfully
mastered as TO be absorbed in the
art.
Miss MacConachie. whose first
appearance in Brownsville In con-
cert was In compliment 10 Mr.. Clav
has a charming stage presence, an
air OF graciousness and command
OF her art.
She has a voice OF clear purity,
and express ID with a dramatic
intensity which charms.
Her diction is flawless and most
noteworthy In a day when these
innings are considered too devasta-
ting to master.
A profusion OF roses and chrys-
snthemums added a festive note to
the concert and attested to the pop
ularity OF the artists.
Mr.. Clay returns to Boston in the
near future. and upon completion
OF his course there. Is 70 continue
