Josef Hofmann, dean Of con-
cert pianists, startled his audience
yesterday afternoon in Constitu-
ton Hall by his technical feats as
well as his poetic interpretations.
Piano playing of the grandeSt
sort was conJured under the pow
erful and flying fingers. Success
sive heavy chords and octaves
were taken at an incredible speed.
Mr.. Hofmann took full advantage
of fortiSsimo passages, bringing
out the greatest resources that
seemed possible to produce on the
instrument.
At times the crash of powerful
chords seemed to overStep the
bounds of good tones, but his audi
tors were captivated by such an
exhibition Of technique. His SUI
perb efforts were appreciated to
the extent that he responded to
numerous encoreS at the close Of
each part of the program.
In his Interpretation Of such a
well-known work as Beethoven'S
Sonata quasi una Fantasia"
moonlight Sonata), he took parts
of the presto agitato at such a
speed as to place more emphasis
upon the fantasia" idea rather
than the Introductory moonlight
motif. Most pianistS seem to be
so thoroughly imbided with the
feeling Of the first movement that
little dramatic force Is ever intro
duced in the last movement.
His own compositions, Pen
guin" and "The Sanctuary" were
melodic and in lighter vein than
most of the program. The LiSZt
Rhapsody No. II" gave him a
final opportunity to summon the
full power of the piano and
brought the concert to a thrilling
close.
The italian ambassador, Angus
to RoSso, gave chamber music
recital last night by the Trio
Italiano, which includes A. CaSella,
piano; A. Poltronieri, violin, and
A. Bonucci, Violoncello.
This trio appeared two years
ago at the White House and also
the Royal Italian embassy, having
been brought to America by Mrs.
Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge to
take part in the Berkshire Music
Festival. The trio has just COM
pleted tour of this country, hav-
ing made "a concert appearances.
The trio led by A. CaSella,
opened the recital with Trio in
G" Haydn), displaying a beauti-
full solo and ensemble tone. The
Brahms Trio in c" was more dra-
matte and tuneful than the Haydn
work. The succeeding climaxes
of this latter work. were played
with a dramatic force that is, sell
dom heard in a trio, yet the tones
Of the stringed instruments re-
tanned their high quality in the
loud passages.
At the close Of the program,
the trio played "Siciliana e Bur
lesca" (CaSella), which was writ
ten in the modernistic manner,
yet was most melodic and in
teresting. Mr.. CaSella has sue
ceeded in incorporating modern
rhythms and harmonic progress

Pioneer Woman Leaves Alaska
 After 37 Years
Continued From Page One Camp.
 Buried in Snow

Roped with her husband and others of the party, Mrs. Widner escaped death, though partly bur- jed by the appalling ava lanche of snow, a debacle that she believes started from the vibration of the many tramping feet.
 She was not long in DaW son until she was engaged at the Good Samaritan hos pital. Among other patients that came under her care was Stewards Cole McDou- gal, who renewed acquain- tance with the pioneer lady who feels that she is making her final trip to the states.
 But Mrs. Widner was not long at the hospital, the call of the gold fields being too strong to resist, and a year later saw her and Mir. Widner heading for Nome, the 2,000-mile trip being made over the ice, mushing their way with lifts on their dog
 Little Tex"
 Mrs. Widner recalled with sunny smiles. her memory of Little" Tex Rickard, not the famous Tex, himself, but a char acter who fiourished at Nome with his bigger name sake Little Tex, said Mrs. Widner, got out of all sorts of jams by a clustering show of belligerency, his chief defense being the dis play of a gun with a recital of it's deadly effect. Finally
The Nome daily nugget., 1936-01-23

curious people made some inquiry and found that the gun had probably never been fired at all by the lit tie fraud, and that in real ity he was altogether harm less.
 Mrs. Widner carried on prospecting in the field with her husband, many oth CT women engaging in the same work. At Candle creek she banned nine oun- ces of gold in a few hours.
 For years Fairbanks was home to the Widners, and there they acquired land claims, holding valuable timber, which Mrs. Wid- ner recently disposed of to the University of Alaska.
 May Stay Outside
 She is not sure about re- turning to Alaska. She rath CT thinks that she will not, but will make her home in Seattle. There are relativ- es in Wisconsin that she may visit later.
 M~s. Widner is a striI:- ing personality, with bri 9ht young eyes, and a head crowned with a natural "rcrmanent" of hair grown white with the passing of years.
 She was much sought after in Seward by the old timers who reviewed scen- es of early Alaska gold rush days, and by many of the younger generation who were thrilled by her recit- al of golden adventures.
