mulated by President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill
as tantamOunt to declaration of
war aimed to weaken Japan and
the newspaper Nichi Nichi warn

Regardless of how often the
two Democratic leaders met,
Nichi Nichi said, and regardless
of how often they revise their
eight points "there will be no
change in the world situation"
There was no hint in any of
the Japanese newspapers of any
change in Japanese policy.

Come Home To Mama

Come Home To Mama
Mothers in the 800 block on
Broadway were thrown into an up
roar Friday morning because every
child in the neighborhood myster-
iously disappeared. Suddenly there
were no children.
Telephones buzzed and backyard
fences reverberated from the shouts
of frantic mamas in search OF their
offsprings. Papas were called home
to assist in the search but not a
child could be found The alarm
spread. Everyone was asked to be
on the alert for appearance OF half
a dozen youngsters between 2 and
7 years of age.
A papa, who probably remember
ed what he used to do when he was
mere child, found the missing
children staring in awe at the pos
ters and photographs in the lobby
at the u. A. theater Clad in bath
ing suits, shorts, and abbreviated
dresses, the perpetrators of this
mass migration stood in compact
group surveying the wonders OF
movies to core.
!. "Awwwwww," they said in disgust
=, over the furore raised by their eld-
ers, I'VE just went for little
walk" Their parents were too re-
lieved to argue.

Evening star., 1941-10-27
By ALICE EVERSMAN.

The first Sunday concert OF the
Dorsey season brought an artist new
to this series roster in the person of
Artur Rubinstein,' Polish pianist.
Mr.. RubinStein was SolOiSt with the
Philadelphia Orchestra two years
ago, but yesterday afternoons pro-
gram was the first full-length re-
cital he has presented in Constltu-
ton Hall. He gave the patrons OF
this series an example of virtuoso
playing that few can equal, and the
hrillancy, power and fire OF his
performance aroused response
that proved the stirring quality OF
his art and the superior character
of his technical and spiritual re-
sources.
The combination, in Rubinsteln's
playing. is evenly divided. At the
same time a continual surprise is
felt that an artist, one moment
drawing laundering volumes OF
sound from his instrument, can,
without effort, change in second to
q poet weaving tender planlstlc
verse with complete absorption. 1t
did not take long to discover, how
ever. that the secret of this mobility
lies in a tranScendental mechanical
mastery which removes all neces-
sity of thinking of technical appli-
cation and allows for the following
of an idea to its complete reallza-
ton.
Given Original Touch.
Mr.. Rubinstein thinks in terms
of the entire phrase, and ultimately,
the entire work. He has the ability
10 create the sounds of a musical
idea to A forgetfulness of its means
Of accomplishment Add to this a
deeply poetic and romantic nature
and the result is impressed with
an original stamp. The mere ques-
.tion OF expert piano playing Is left
behind and the instrument is made
to speak the meaning OF the music
with powerful effect.
One may not always agree with
Mr.. Rubinstein in what he would
say, individual opinions being hard
to discard, and one might prefer
have a bridge of greater musical
variety between them. but the
mioueness and value of his personal
approach cannot be gainsaid. The
thought and understanding that
compliments his superb control OF
fingers and muscles gives his play
ing a continual interest beyond its
power to dazzle.
Reveals Versatility.
His program ranged through the
various types of composers from
Bach to Stravinsky and revealed
both the artists versatility and, at
the same time, his limitations. The
latter we're purely matter of tenn
permanent, a seeing from certain
angle, and in no way interfered with
a virtuoso Interpretation. The Bach
Busoni "Toccata in c Major" and

alta" suffered from this tempera-
mental difference at times, although
in the adagio and fugue Of the
former and the first movement Of
the sonata his dissertion was pro-
found and broadly conceived.
Debussy, of whom prelude in A
Minor" and "Ondine" were pro-
grained. drew forth Mr.. Rubinstein's
feathery lightness of touch for many
charming passages. although ten
dency to a heavier tone whenever
an opportunity permitted in the
prelude marred the Debussy spirit.
The Chopin "Scherzo in c Sharp
Minor" "Berceuse," etudes and the
"Polonaise in A Flat" were played
with deep sympathy and, in the
polonaise. with surprising brilliancy.
The moving quality Of Mr.. Rubin
STEMS tone, as in the "Berceuse"
and the 'Etude, Op. Is, No. l." con-
trasted strongly with the tremen-
dous weight and volume that he
reached in the polonaise.
Novelty Of Program.
The novelty of the program was
the arrangement of Stravinsky's
''Petrouchka" for piano, written for
and dedicated to the artist by the
composer. The work is divided into
Russian Dance" In Petrouchka' S
Room" and Russian Fair" sepa-
rated from one another by reiter-
ated chords in the bass. The
sparkling character of the music
its great yet changing colorfulness
and the description contained in
the rush of sound, thoroughly Rus
sian in its folk themes anG rhythms
retain their richness in the piano
medium. Here Mr.. Rubenstein' s
virtuosity shone and his perform

ance of the work was electrifying,
Whether another pianist could do
it justice is doubtful.
The artist received the ovation he
deserved from the large audience.
Although no encores were given
during the program, its length was
prolonged by the additions the audi
ence asked for and the artist gen.
erously gave.
