Interesting Piano Recital

The Indianapolis Civic Music
Association presented Ignace
Strasfogel, pianist, in his first
local appearance, last night at
Caleb Mills hall
The program of the artist was
interesting in itself, being made
up of three compositions, one each
from Bach. Beethoven and Schu-
, man, and portraying very deity
the individual characteristics of
each of the masters.
The first composition to be
played was Bach's "Chromatic
Fantasy and Fugue in D Minor. ;"
This piece. a mechanical marvel,
seemed to be lacking in anything
but the basic feeling on the part
Of the artist. The technique, al
most without flaw, was nearly
hindrance to the best interpreta-
ton of the composition.
But any lack Of feeling which
may have been evident in the first
selection was Immediately lost in
the mystical beauty of the second,
Beethoven's Sonata, Opus no."
This was most delicately and care
fully handled by Strasfogel, and
the Interpretation was in perfect
harmony with the motif of the
composition. The artistry of this
sonata lies in the rampant pat
tern, ranging from crashing chords
to barely audible tones. which
Strasfogel splendidly displayed in
an alternating dominant and sub
servient fashion.
The third composition on the
program was the "Fantasiestucke,
Opus r." from Schumann. This
opus is a composite of eight brief
tone pictures, outstanding among
which, in Strasfogel's playing of
the piece, were the emotional

She is a sensitive woman for
whom any grossness is degrading.
The victory of her emotions over
her spiritual security is humiliat-
ing. Yet this love has stirred
strange passions within her. Anna
undergoeS mental changes that
destroy her serenity.
Tolstoy creates the character
sympathetically and follows her
with brilliant understanding. No
better description could be given
of a problem which swampS the
newspaper lovelorn columns with
pathetic letters.
Furious gusts of melancholy
seize her. After leaving her huS-
band and son to live with Vron-
sky, she becomes jealous and
despairing. Her mind and COM
posture is shaken. Anna cries out
in a frenzy of grief, Have I not
striven, striven with all my pow
ers, to find a justification for my
life? l, poor unfortunate, am
sunk lower and more irreclalm-
ably than ever toward ruin. . 1
could not imagine any situation in
which my life would be anything
but one long misery. We are all
dedicated to unhappiness; we all
know it, and only seek for ways
to deceive ourselves. When we
seek the truth what is to be
done?"
CKILLFULLY TolStoy attacks
- the vicious decadent Russian
nobility which excuses intrigue
and adultery and regards serious
love as ridiculous. Vronsky and
Anna have defied their circle by
actually loving each other and
making sacrifices. The lavish ex-
penditures, the selfish lives are
anathema to Tolstoy. Yet this
feeling is delicately mingled with
the story and is brought out only
as a contrast between the city
and country life.
Foremost of Tolstoy's issues was
his lifetime fight against war. His
pen was a torch that shattered
the shadows clarifying civilized
slaughter. In his mighty novel,

War and Peace" Tolstoy ex-
posed all the social grievances CO.
incident with war. War, accord
ing to Tolstoy, thrusts a burden
of depressing taxation upon the
poor classes, causes famine, need
less destruction and widespread
social restlessness.
In Anna Karenina," Tolstoy
famed angrily against his own
youth. He was brought up as the
typical Russian nobleman - a
profigate and wastrel His was
nature similar to that of Anna.
Tolstoy reacted violently against
his own creed. He threw away his
fortune to charity and secluded
himself in the country to live the
life of an aScetic.
All of the artificial brilliance
and glitter of court life are as
painted puppets moving stiffly to
the sway of opinion and gossip,
according to Tolstoy. But he saw
the country as a place where one
could find fierce joy of living.
Shifting rapidly from petty So .
ciety, the author developed a
powerful country idyll. The now
ing scene in the country, where
men move in a vigorous harmony,
swinging their Scythes, is an in
Spiration to toll.
II Il
TOLSTOY had definite social
Il ideals. He believed in the
redistribution of wealth. He adj
vocated a society in which work
would become a pleasure. The
fundamental idealism and even
naiveneSs of the country appealed
to him. The rough simple life was
the contrast he felt necessary to
redeem himself and the society of
intrigue. Years before dark peas

Tolstoy prophesied the downfall
of nobility. In this book he de-
scribes the decadence that he
knew would lead to an entire So

XXTHERE did Edmund Could
w ing get the title of RIP
tide" for Norma Shearer's latest
starring vehicle?
"Riptide" will open weeks en-
gagement at Loew's Palace on Fri
day with Miss Shearer, Herbert
Marshall and Robert Montgomery.
I appealed to JAG FleX, man
ager of Loew's Palace, to find out
the meaning of the title. After due
research Mr.. FleX stated that the
author found that riptide is one
of the most fascinating functions
in the action of ocean water.
"Riptide," according to Mr.. FleX,
lis the condition when water be-
comes roughened by conflicting
tides of current"
He points out that this title is
quite proper for the Miss Shearer
movie, as she becomes the center
of contention in the lives of many
people in London society.
Mr.. FleX obtained the following
data on this movie:
And this is the story which Ed
mund Goulding has both written
and directed in "Riptide." Norma
Shearer, as an adventurous Ameri-
can woman who has married into
London society, finds that the
dullness and sobriety of English
life is not enough for her. even
though she relisheS it to a GER
tain degree and loves her husband
moderately we'll. When a wild
young American play-boy comes
into her life he does not displace
her husband by any means; her
love somehow encompasses both
of them.
And then. by natural selection.
one of these joint and conflicting
currents of love weakens of its
own accord and the woman is free
to continue in single direction
with her true companion.
Another popular song hit from
the prolific pianos of Nacio Herb
Brown and Arthur Freed is in
troduced in "Riptide." The new
song is We're Together Again"
and is sung in the picture by Ar
thur Jarret and Earl Oxford, as
well as heard fundamentally in
gay party scenes. Brown and
Freed are noted for their tuneful
Broadway Melody" and their re-
cent song hits in Going Holly
wood"
Herbert Marshall plays the role
of the husband in the new Shearer
drama, and the part of the Amer
lean play-boy is filed by Robert
Montgomery, which is the fifth
time he has Economically sup
ported Miss Shearer.
