Henneberry Is Heard
In Piano Recital
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

Edward j. Henneberry, pianist
who has established himself in this
city as a teacher but who has not
been heard in recital before, gave
a program last evening at Ward
man Park Theater. The audience,
though a small one, was most cor
dial in its attitude and enjoyed each
of the young pianist's offerings
These included SchubertS I'm
promptu in A fiat major" Beetho-
ven'S Sonata Op. So" Chopin's Bal
1ade in A fiat, Op. At" "Etude Op. Is
No. u and ''Etude, Op. 25, No. H.
the Gavotte from Prokofeff's "Clas-
sic Symphony" Ravel's "Jeux d'eau,'
Navarro's Dance of Spain" and AL
beniz' "Triana."
A technique that is neat and clear
and pure if not large tone are the
salient characteristics of Mr.. Henne-
berry's playing and formed the basis
of his presentation last evening.
Serious in his outlook and well
schooled, the pianist has not yet the
conviction or the communicative
power that should accompany his
equipment but these may become ap-
parent on a more suspicious Oc-
casion than a debut recital.
The Schubert "Impromptu' suited
him best in style and content and his
playing of it was the smootheSt and
best modulated of the program. To
this may be added the Chopin
"Etude, Op. 25, No T. which showed
the quality of his tone to the best
advantage. In fact, the music of
Chopin should lie especially well for
Mr.. Henneberry for his light and
facile treatment of it was thoroughly
in keeping with its character. If the
other Chopin numbers were not so
successful in delivery. it was more
from want of the exercise of greater
imaginativeness than in pianistic
form.
A rather casual approach to the
Beethoven Sonata and lack Of in
sight into it's possibilities made the
pianist's playing Of this number per-
functory. A broader concept and an
emotionaliSm in keeping with the
idea of this sonata, which at best
does not demand too much in this
respect, would embeIlish Mr.. Henne-
berrys playing and give it the
warmth and individuality that it
needs. With the exception of lack
of balance in volume between the
left and right hands and rather
heavy use of the pedal, his mechan-
ical foundation is secure and would
react effectively to a finer analysis
of phrase and a greater employment
of color.
Mr.. Hennebery is to be COM
mended for not allowing the callous
performance of a theater attendant,
who decided to turn on the heat dur
ing the playing of the Schubert
number, to distract him. The in
difference to what effect the noise
and movement might have on the
artist was unforgivable and the in
dignant murmur Of the audience was
warranted.

against five key cards represented on
table by FIVE blank spaces. The subject, of
course, did not know which particular blank
space represented which particular key card
or IL other words the order of the arrange
ment of the key" cards Nevertheless he
tried TO match his deck against the key
cards in the correct order by placing each of
his 25 cards on the table, ranging them one
by one below the blank spaces.
The catch in the whole procedure was
that the order in which the key" cards were
arranged was not determined until after the
subject had laid out his cards. Then this
order was determined in another room and
by means Of a mechanical card shufer or
dice-throwing machine, which prevented the
possibility of telepathy or second-sight play
ing any part in the subjects ability 10 score
correct hits
In other words the subject did all his
work before the event OF arranging the key
cards had happened; and by his own efforts
Though he was not aware of it, he was
trying to predict the future This is pre-
cisely the kind Of predicting" a roulette
player tries 20 DO when he places his chips
on the number he hopes will turn up next
when the wheel is spun.
All of the adult subjects who took this
test scored consistently below what they
should have scored by blind chance" or the
law OF averages In other words, they pre-
dicted the future inaccurately, or were just
plain "unlucky."
If the luck faculty is to be compared with
ordinary vision. then children should excel
at IT, The person who can find a needle in
a haystack is a sharp-eyed child.
And as might be expected, when Professor
Rhine gave his luck" test to a group of chill
-dren, they scored as high above the average
as the grown-ups had scored below IT,

TO fit right in with that theory. At that time,
just after the American Revolution, the
American continental dollar had been so in
lated it was practically worthless - from
which came the expression not worth
continental"
When young Timothy came into a tiny
inheritance in perfectly good hard money,
somebody in jest advised him 10 buy the
worthless Contnentals with il. But this was
exactly what Timothy himself had been think
ing about so he did and made fortune be-
cause, contrary to everyone's expectation,
Congress decided TO redeem the paper money.
He took the money he had made in Con-
tinental currency and put it into ship-load of
warming pans. In cold New England where
bedrooms were unheated, these pans were
filled with hot Goals and run between the
sheets TO take the chill out of the bedclothes.
But Timothy took his ship-load of pans TO
tropical Havana and then discovered that IL
was too hot a climate for such devices.
But just then two molasses-makers opened
in hot competition and found his long-handled
pans just what they needed for skimming

anyone should be able 10 make five correct
hits that is match five cards correctly, out
Of every p tries - and the average person
did just that
Some subjects however managed TO make
eight TO nine Of these hits right along and,
what was equally puzzling, there were num-
Der Of persons who with equal persistence con
stantly fell below the average
In other words there was strong evidence
that these ad-guessers were pursued by what
an ordinary person would call Jinx or hoo
doc These words not being in the scientific
lexicons Professor Rhine refers TO their
strange afniction as negative deviation or
"score-depressing factor"
A fun understanding of this subject would
be of more than academic Importance. II
might explain why a man of no great ability
like Lucky" Baldwin had the magic touch
and couldn't seem 20 lose or how Timothy
Dexter successfully nouted the old adage that
a fool and his money are soon parted.
More important, IL would throw light on
such tragic lives as that of Edward Eugene
Mol who was no fool but recently died in an
insane asylum driven crazy by lifetime OF
unbroken bad luck He had tried 10 succeed
at every sort Of work he could find only 10
get hurt fired or have the business itself fail.
Finally he realized that what Professor
Rhine would call a "score-depressing factor
but he knew as hoodoo had MN licked
After that he gave up trying and became one
OF the dereicts of New York's Bowery even
tualy going crazy
But, strangely enough. his death revealed
that his grandmother had left him $4,000,
which by the irony of fate, had grown into
$50 900 by the time he died and he never
knew about il.
Professor Rhines procedure in his luck"
tests, as reported in the Journal of Parapsy-
chology was to give each subject deck of
ESP cards and ask him to try to match them

wavering, multiplied their good luck by three.
For the grown-ups, prizes ranging from
fifty cents to 500 were offered and did they
rise Ito the occasion by greater efficiency?
They did not. Their bad luck" was almost
doubled.
In the case of the children the prizes kept
them alert and attentive which all that
was needed TO fire up their mysterious lucky"
faculty. For the adults IT seems TO have done
something entirely different rousing such
faculties as memory and reasoning which
could not possibly help but merely dimmed
further whatever ability they might have had
TO see accurately into the future.
The tests also indicated that good and bad
luck really do run in streaks confirming the
gamblers dictum that one should ride his luck
hard while it is good, but not try to force
things when it is bad.
Another thing these experiments seem to
confirm is the belief that luck doesn't depend
much on brains II at all.
The remarkable run of luck of Timothy
Dexter of Newburyport, Massachusetts. who
was considered fool in his youth, also seems
by American Weekly Inc Great Britain Rights r.
