AUNT HATTIE CAPTURES
PLAUDITS AT GAYETY

THE biggest thing on the Gayety
program-with the adjective used
in both senses-is Aunt Hattis,
sepia sensation new to the Gayety
boards. Auntie nearly suspended pro-
ceedings at yesterdays matinee. and
seems destined to continue the threat
throughout the week, for the grinning
song-and-dancer has that something
different" The good aunt makes no
effort at concealing her plenteous
poundage, but can truck on down"
with the best of them, in addition to
rendering swingy warbling that the
stockholders "go for"
Not having seen Hattie before, it is
natural that she should draw principal
comment even at the cost of subordi-
mating the feature attraction of rec
ord, Louise Stewart. Be it now re-
corded, therefore, that the charming
Louise is an optical treat of the first
rank, and that Diane King and Do
lores Leland offer thoroughly satisfy
ing specialties as well, with Miss Le-
land doubling as scene worker and
scoring in that spot, too.
Billy Hagen, that cheese and
crackers" fellow, is chief laugh prodder
and handles his assignment in typical
Hagen funny fashion-his name
should have been in the first para
graph somewhere Harry Seymour
puts the people in good humor as well,
with George Rose and Dick Darr fur
nishing able straight" work. One Of
the better burlesque voices is present
In possession of Dick Vernon, with his

"ROM the character OF the ap-
l. plause by which discriminate
ing audience greets the efforts
i Of an artist, one can measure
the quality in his talent that has par
ticularly CENTRALIZED it. At the recital
yesterday afternoon Of Jose Iturbi,
celebrated Spanish pianist, in Con-
stitution Hall, one felt the deep appre-
citation Of his great imaginative pow
ers and of the exquisite poetry with
which he infused every note and every
phrase of his program. With these
two elements he transcends all tech
nical obstacles and the very form Of
the composition itself to an exalted
plane, where music and poetry are
so closely united that it Is impossible
to think of one without the other.
In this he Is quite unique, and the
beauty Of his playing Is something en-
tirely his own and impossible Of imi-
tation unless one were as rarely gifted
as he.
Variety Of Musical Speech.
Iturbi is not an artist who will be
linked with one school or classified as
a disciple of one master, for he Is
equally sympathetic with all kinds of
music and with all kinds of idioms.
His program yesterday proved this. for
he cnoSe Mozart, Bach. Chopin,
Brahms, Debussy, Albeniz and Grana-
dos and excelled in each. Such deep
sensitlveness to varied musical speech
is seldom found, yet Iturbi has it and
convinces his listeners with the truth
Of his understanding. No wonder
that the keynote Of applause blended
the admiration, respect and gratitude
of those privileged to hear him.
Beyond all else, the artist is a superb
colorist and a master of phrasing. He
is inexhaustible in his appreciation Of
color and weaves it so skillfully into
whatever the intricacies Of the musical
pattern that one is amazed at the
opulence at his command. Intensity
ing and augmenting his feeling Is his
unusual sensitiveness in phrasing. So
perfectly does he combine them and
so thoroughly does he understand their
interrelation that the very meaning
of the music becomes crystal clear
through their use His finger and
pedal technique are servants Of his
imagination, an imagination that
knows no boundaries Of style or period.
Mozart and Brahms.
An example Of this was given in his
playing of Mozart and Brahms, two
masters Numerically opposite in form
and style. Mr.. Iturbi is Mozart
interpreter par excellence. The child

From the first note to the last, his
rendition was one of those intellectual
enjoyments that hold the listener
spellbound. The same may be said
Of the Brahms Variations on a
Theme Of Paganini." which showed
Mr.. Iturbi in another light, giving
him an opportunity to exhibit his
extraordinary and faultless dexterity
in the ripping passages.
Bach's "Chromatic Fantasy and
Fugue" was a masterpiece of pianistic
artistry, while his reading Of Chopin,
