that easily runs the gamut from
feathery ightness to laundering
power, he Is above all immersed In
the music, placing himself COM
pletely into the mood of whatever
he plays. In this one particular, If
in no other, he is outstanding among
the artists of the instrument and
whatever he performs Is bound to be
analyzed microscopically and recon-
structed with the aid of q tempera-
ment that takes fire quickly and can
hardly be held within bounds.
The first piano concerto that
Brahms essayed is not the most
popular work from the masters pen,
either with artists or the public. It
was not even in the day when
Brahms himself was the soloist. Part
of the reason for its disfavor is that
few artistic natures can gosquite to
the same length Of furious rebellion
and acute suffering as did the COM
poser when his tender heart was
torn with grief. But Mr.. Serkin can
do 1t and can reproduce with the
same mrestrained abandon the
great emotional upheaval that
Brahms experienced when he wrote
the concerto. And in the calmer
second movement, when the storm IS
past and resignation sets In In its
most beautiful mood, Mr.. Serkin
can subdue the strength Of his
fingers to great delicacy Of touch
and color it with tenderness Of ex-
preston.
Moreover, he conceives the piano
part not so much as a solo vehicle
but as belonging to the orchestra
and in both the volume and carrying
power of his delivery and his quick
response, he blended the instrument
with the orchestra so as to make the
difference imperceptible. The diff
cult passage work throughout the
concerto and particularly in the final
movement was given with amazing
ease and scintilating clarity that
always held a warmth Of tone. The
young artist was given a demon
stration that amply expressed the
enthusiasm he evoked.
The same measure Of enthusiasm
greeted DR.. Kindler's directing Of
Scriabin's LIE Divin Poeme," which
has not been programmed by the
Symphony for many years. In all
the mathematical trying and insipid
thought that goes into musical COM
position of today. and even during
lifetime of the composer, the
"Poeme" stands as a brave work
revealing both a spiritual and emo
tional honesty. Whether 1t appeals
to all men Is another matter, but
honest and searching it Is. The
music is almost overpowering in its
high-strung quality, which abates
for only short moments. Yet 1t Is
gripping and whether willingly or
not. the listener is caught in It's
swirling torrents and carried along
with the vivid imagination Of the
composer who was obsessed his life
long with his plan for a super
symphony.

been such an unleashing of emotion
of an almost elemental character as
was presented in the two major
works of the evening-the Brahms
concerto and Scriabin's lie Divin
Poeme." Beside these monumental
opuses, the Wedding Procession"
from Mozart's THE Marriage of
Figaro" arranged by DR.. Kinder
seemed delicate and immaterial,
although the Bach "Sinfonia to
Cantata No. &c." also transcribed for
orchestra by DR.. Kinder, with its
highly effective finale by the violirls,
more nearly approximated the tre-
mendous outpouring Of feeling of
the larger works.

Titans of the piano in this era, but

What about George? He doesn't
want visitors gawking around at
this point. Anyway, haven't any
free time right now. I've got to get
my pipes in shape"
Thus the conversation swings from
new babies to new home to new op-
portunities until Director Bacon de-
cides he's ready for the close up.
Morgan and Carson readjust their
sneers and Bacon calls "Action!"

Patient Succumbed
After Drinking Tea

Mrs. Becker synpathetically
nursed the young wife and
brewed her many solicitouSly
served cups OF tea. The girl
wasted away until death re-
lieved her of the agony, March
q. and il was recorded that she
died from acute indigestion.
Detective Schmidt wondered
how many more friends Of Marie
Becker had died suddenly from
the deadly malady so he took
the next logical step Of scrutiniz-

Sure enough. one Lambert

acute indigestion Oct 20. 1884.
Schmidt traced the mans ac-

through his family and learned
that the deceased had been a
prosperous landlord, the owner
of four apartment houses and
Of a bank account that totaled
10000 francs.
Boyer, who attended the ca
thedral every Sunday morning,
had noticed that for three Sun
days in succession a devout little
lady in black occupied the seat
beside him, and in time he spoke
10 her as they left the church.
IT was thus that he became ac-
quainted with Marie Becker,
and soon proposed marriage.
Though Boyer called off the
marriage later, he continued the
romance. Then, on October 10,
he was stricken with an intesti-
nal illness. Marie Becker
nursed him. a few days later
he was dead.
