bounds. This was illustrated par
ticulariy in his Chopin group where
the "Nocturne in C Sharp" made a
beautiful contrast to the "Polonaise
in A Flat" In the latter, where
many interpreters allow themselves
to be carried away by its fire and
energy, he kept the clarity of outline
uppermost while giving it the dra-
matte power it demands.
While particularly famous as a
Chopin player, his three Brahms
selections including the "Intermezzo,
Op. 108"; "Capriccio, Op. 26' and
Rhapsody, Op. 1l9" were equally
revealing of the dimensions of his
talent. Here again he brought to
bear the rare quality of intellectual
appreciation and emotional warmth
which he possesses to beautifully
detailed and expressive interpreta-
ton. 1t was all music which gave
something to each individual &C
cording to his understanding, a
perfect example of keen insight, a
faultless and mastery technical
execution or poetry of idea or dra-
matte thought.
Having lifted his listeners to the
heights of enthusiasm with the
first groups, he cemented the effect
with the three Spanish numbers
with which the program closed,
Granados' "The Lady and the
Nightingale" Albeniz's Navarro"
and dance from De Palla's Three
Cornered Hat"
Offsetting the well-known works
which Mr.. Rubinstein presented so
inimitably were the compositions of
Slavic composers, which formed the
main part of Mr.. Balokovics pro-
gram. Among the unfamiliar COM
posers introduced by him were the
Serbian, Kosta Manojlovic, and the
Yugoslavian. Fran Lhotka, whose
works were listed together with the
bohemian, Bedrich Smetana; the
Hungarian. Ottakar Novacek, and
the Pole, Karol Szymanowsky.
National characteristics, such as
the rhythm and nostalgia color in
these works, carried a special appeal
in the heartfelt way in which Mr..
Balokovic gave them. Manojlovic's
Lament and Lhotka's "Croatian
Rhapsody" were exquisitely played
with a tenderness of feeling for
which Mr.. Balokovics tone is par
ticularly suited. While not large,
it is pure and suave with a delicacy
of color which lends Itself f1exibly
to the artists intentions.
The fragile and illusive character
of Szymanowsky's La FonUaine
dArethuse," the airy lightness of
the Schumann-Siegel Cascade"
and the fleet constancy of Novacek's
"Perpetuum Mobile" disclosed the
sureness and f1uency of Mr.. Belo-
kovic's technique In the first, his
trills were especially noteworthy
with their sharp and clear vibration.
The two classic numbers, Bach's
"Adagio" and the Mozart-Kreisler
'Rondo' which he played at the
beginning of the program, held a
nobility of style and a kindred
warmth to that of the Slavic in
terpretationS. The artists success
eliminated in the encore, 'Varia-
tions on a Theme by Corelli," by
KreiSler.
Earl Wild proved to be an un-
usually fine accompanist with a gift
for ensemble His manner of
shading and the lightness of his
touch enhanced Mr.. Balokovic's
interpretations at every opportunity.

Sidney Guilaroff in a huddle at

Ilona the girl he loves. 1t was be-

plump and short-sighted and not
in the least romantic looking. &.
