His pianissimo is the most minia-
ture of sounds yet crystalline clear
and velvety. From this point he
manages beautifully designed in
crease in power which never departs
from the initial color until he
reaches its full expression in a
mighty forte. Following the clear
path Of his tone through the EN-
peror" concerto was a fascinating
experience, obedient, as it was, al
ways to the thought motivating it..
1t was the eloquency of his ideas
which made Mr.. Gieseking's inter-
probation of the concerto something
to be remembered. The splendid
decision of his first piano phrases
set the broadness of style which was
the keynote of this movement even
In the more ripping measures. Yet
the tranquility and tender thought
fulness of the second movement,
where every turn Of phrase was so
delicately nodded or the bright,
gay rondo so lightly flowing in its
continuity we're different moods
linked together with consummate
artistry.
Carried away by the beauty of Mr.
Gieseking's performance and the
warmth which glowed through it,
the audience recalled the artist
repeatedly with tumultuous ap-
plause. Insisting that DR.. Kinder,
whose accompaniment and direc-
ton of the long orchestral parts of
the first movement were especially
fine, share the ovation, Mr. Giesek-
ing came out to bow but refused to
lengthen the program with an
encore.
Equaling its performance in the
concerto, the orchestra gave splen-
did reading of the Tragic" over
ture, bringing into prominence the
emotional content of this less
pllantly contrived work of Brahms.
The playing of the Sibelius SYM
phony, however, lacked the co-ordi-
nation of details necessary to give
it clarity. Harsh in its ruggedness
it needs more suavity to disclose
the rare light that Is SlbeliuS' Spe-
cial way OF touching up the gloom
and barrenness of his background

phere of loneliness, as when the
bassoon sings nostalgia air against
the quivering strings in the first
movement or the bits of melody of
original timbre that here and there
make their appearance like ray of
sunshine. is so individual as to grip
the listener with its potency.
The orchestra, completely in COM
mand of the technical difficulties
Of the score, was successful yester-
day in giving the broad concept of
the work, and brought it to a STIR
ring conclusion that reaped a gen.
erous appreciation from the audi

In fact, she is more than usually enthusiastic because MT. Mavis and her husband are both after the same promotion.
 Does she make a good impression on the boss wife?
 She thinks she does. In fact, she thinks the boss wife will reason this way: 'That is very nice, agree able young woman. She put in a good word for Mrs. Mavis-when she must know Mavis and her husband are rivals" But that isn't what the boss wife thought-or what she told her hus- band afterwards. She said, Either that young woman is phoney, or she hasn't any judgment. asked her what she thought of Mrs. Mavis whom I just never could stanO and she praised her to the skies" A good answer would have been an evasive one. "You know I was sorry about it, but we really didn't get to talk at all. We had to hurry through dinner to get to the theater on time, and we both had so far to drive that we went right home af- terward."
 Every woman ought to have a nice set of evasive answers like that.
 For just as often as it is bad busi- ness to knock another person, it's bad business to go overheard prais- ing one.
 Maybe that sounds like shrewd and calculating reasoning. But there is nothing very noble about the old rule of always saying good about people. The theory was that it paid dividends.

 Another must see" double hit show makes its local debut at the State tomorrow with John Garfield, probably the most impressive new conner othe screen of the past year, being starred in the headliner "Blackwell's Island"
 Incidentally this marks Garfield s third motion picture. He first made his screen appearance in the unfor- gettable -Four Daughters" and this was closly followed by his brilliant performance in the recent They Made Me A Criminal" His super performances in both successes have, in the opinion of critics, placed him among the screens greatest actors.

M The Local Theateys

Daughter"
 The situation on which the film is based is familiar to Waterburians because of the publicity attached to the 1884 cleanup of the New York city jail on what is now known as Welfare Island. This cleanup dis closed an amazing tale of "big shot prisoners running the jail to suit themselves, living in luxury and coming and going as they pleased.
 Garfield is seen in the role of a reporter who gets fired from his paper at the virtual order of a local political boss, who is the man behind a vicious mob of racketeers headed by Stanley Fields, who is said to have the best role of his career.
 In addition the impressive cast in- cludes Victor Jory, Dick Purcell, and Anthony Averill.

and get Jim to hitch it to branch of the old apple tree.
 If you cannot get color out of your mind (and color is the motive of the festival of toys), paint an old wash tub red, if you have one, and label it Swimming Pool"; or lay a board against the fence and call it Slide"
 All these toys" are action pro- viders. Whether you buy the ready set-up affairs, or use your ingen- uity on more homely contraptions, I think there is one thing to consider. While it may be an outlay of money or the spending of time and trouble to set up tn outdoor play-room, in either case please don't say, Tt isn't worth while because they get tired of things so quickly"
 CHILDREN USE TOYS
 IN DIFFERENT WAYS
 Children do tire of things, it is true, but not in the way we think They get weary of initiative play at four orfve and begin the imagina- tive play
 The same goes for the faction" toys. A child will use them all again and again, but he will change his ways of playing and his manner" of using them.
 But what all children necd is activity. They cannot be happy without things to do. If you find them using the croquet mallets as ponies, there is no harm done. Give them place to play, and some equipment, and they'll have their fun in their own way.

POLl'S

A grand novelty act, consisting of Captain Gregory and his Company of famous shooting marvels heads the gigantic Broadway vaudeville show being presented Wednesday evening on the stage of the Loew- Poli theater.
 Supporting this headliner are Buddy Walker, popular Broadway jester; the Don Alvin Five, with symphony in rhythm, and the Elite Trio, dancers supreme.
 Gus Meyers and the Loew-P Poli theater orchestra will furnish the musical background.
 He's back-the gayeSt, most gall lant gun-fighter of them all! It's the Cisco Kid, O. Henry's immortal Robin Hood of the Rio Grande, brought to the screen at Loew's Poli theater for a three day engage ment beginning tomorrow. Warner Baxter, the original Cisco Kid, once again dons broad sombrero and with silver-mounted pistols brings back to millions the most lovable outlaw of them all, in "The Return of the Cisco Kid" Back into old Arizona rides that gallant ca- ballero and bullets can't touch him, jails can't hold him and posses can't get him. A thousand senori- tas sigh for him, but the one girl he really wants, he can't have!
 It's a grand and entertaining piece of screen refreshment that Loew's Poli offers in "The Return of the Cisco Kid" A stellar sup porting cast features Lynn Bari, Cesar Romero, Henry Hull, aKne Richmond, c. Henry Gordon and Robert Barrat.
 On the same program is another big hit, "The Boy Friend" laugh riot featuring child-star Jane With CTS. The youthful actress has her funniest role to date, as in "The Boy Friend" she finally succumbs to love, with ensuing events reach ing a new peak of hilarity.

HOW DOES MEASLES sPREADs

HOW DOES MEASLES SPREAD?
 Instructive history. of Bacterio- logical Investigations of the U. S. Public Health Service published last year by the Government Print ing Office, for sale by your Uncle Sam at 15 cents the copy to citi- zens of good moral standing, con- tains good deal of information on such subjects as pellagra, milk, disinfectants, rats, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, plague, trachoma, tularemia, water, measles, sewage disposal, scarlet fever, syphilis, gonorrhea, typhus, yellow fever, tuberculosis, rabies, psittacosis, leprosy, encephalitis, influenza and whatnot.
 For instance there is a brief reference to the experiments on transmission of measles to mon- keys, carried on by Anderson and Goldberger of the Public Health Service, about 1910. They showed that f1lterable virus is at least one of the causes if not the cause of measles. Whether some strain of the notorious streptococcus serves as an accomplce to the invisible or ultramicroscopic virus of measles is not certainly established. Today bacteriologists believe that certain epidemic diseases are due to the combined invasion of a virus and a specific germ.
 Measles has been successfully inoculated by means of blood, nasal secretion or mouth secretion from patient ill of the disease. But att temptS to transfer measles by means of scales from the skin have failed. This leads to the inference that the skin rash itself does not contain or spread the infection, but on the secretions from nose or mouth or the spray given off in conversation, coughing, sneezing.
 In view of these facts it becomes obvious that the practice of isola- ton and quarantine based upon the assumption that measles spreads through the rash or by means of the scales or by contact with the skin of the patient is unwarranted ano rather dangerous. It is dangerous because it tends to withdraw at- tention from the real source of in- lection and so it favors spread o1 measles in the community. If the isolation or quarantine regulations in your community are still based on the presence of the rash o1 measles, you may be sure youi community is badly governed, SC far as public health and sanitation are concerned.
 Infectivity of measles is greatest immediately before the rash. ap- pears and for only two or three days after the rash appears.
 Dr. Charles V. Chapin, famous Providence health superintendent and pioneer in the successful ap- plication of the principles of mod ern sanitation, considers isolation in the old-fashioned way a failure in the prevention of measles. INC amount of isolation after the dis ease is recognized can atone for the harm done before the diagnosis is made" I repeat, it is in the three or four days before the rash ap- pears that measles is most readily spread, and this is the stage of the illness that so commonly masque- rades as just cold"-but and with the sanction of unprogressive health authorities.
