Audience With

LENA DE SAYN, violinist, with

~ recital Saturday evening at the
Grafton Hotel before q small but ap-
preciative audience.
The piece de resistance" OF the
program was Cesar Franck's master
piece, his Sonata for Violin and
Piano." which calls to the fore the
main elements Of violinistic equip
ment, such as tone. musical percep-
ton, emotional depth and technical
finish. In her reading Of the sonata,
played from memory, Miss de Sayn
showed herself endowed with these
qualities, combined with an indi-
viduality of approach in her concept,
the salient differences Of her. reading
being found in the first movement,
the ending Of the second and in many
parts of the third movement.
Miss de Sayn, still suffering from
an attack of influenza. played the
opening number, Bach's Suite In E
Minor" with less vigor of tone, but
maintained the classic style through
out. The final group contained the
contrasting numbers, DebusSy's EN-
Bateau" and William Woodin's Gypsy
Airs" These two numbers served to
bring out warm tone. full and ex-
pressive and a style alternating be-
tween delicacy and vigor. An inter-
esting characteristic of Miss de Sayn's
interpretations throughout was her
ability to disclose real sympathy
with the composers ideals and to bring
out the essential national color in
each work. Recalled several times.

N.SO-Eye-wiunessing an electro
cution is an ordeal, even to the
most hard-bitten reporter. It's
a chilling experience calculated
to do things to the nerves. The
aftermath is decidedly depress-
ing.
Bruno Richard Hauptmann-
prisoner No. 17400-is doomed to
die next Friday tight and some
10 newspaper men, few doc

prison and possibly several others
are scheduled to witness the pro

Two former governors, conscien-
tiously opposed to capital punish

Kaufman hfe-instead Of death.
Another would give Hauptmann
the chair as the case now stands,
according to what he has OBJ

All the others interviewed either
avoided the question entirely or
indicated they would stay Haupt-
mann'S death for q while in hopes
Of clearing UP the case. Quietly,
they all called it political poison"
to any politician not directly in

The question propounded was:
