Benno Rabinof Recital
Shows Virtuoso Quality

The New Hanover High school
orchestra presented Benno Rahi,
moi, violinist, in recital with Svl
via Smith, pianist, for the second
consecutive year in the high school
auditorium last night before ar
audience which was appreciative
though not as large as the occa.
sion warranted. The program was
Wen chosen, beginning with the
vleuxtemps 'Rodino,'' followed by
the Bach Air for the G String ar.
ranged by Mr.. Rabinof, and wi.
vace by Haydn. This last number
was a splendid example of Papa
Haydn in his happiest vein of com.
poSatlon, and was clearly executed.
The Bach Air was played with
a vlorato OF such amplitude that
the information was almost a mat
ter OF cubiety once in a while. The
Paganini Concerto in D Major, of
truly noble proportions, brought
the first part of the program to a
conclusion. This was the number
IN which, it was hoped, the High
School orchestra would be able to
accompany the soloist. The late
opening of the schools made re-
hearsals inadequate for such a big
job Tor such a young organization,
however, but Mr.. Rabinof is going
to rehearse the Concerto with the
orchestra this morning, whether
or not, in their rehearsal room.
The Concerto is long, but it did
not seem so last night, under the
mastery playing of the violinist,
with the splendid support he re-
ceived from his accompanist,
Miss Smith.

BRITISH SEIZE
SCARPANTO ISLE

ROME, Oct. 18.-tR-British war
ships have seized Scarpanto island,
midway between Rhodes and Crete,
in the name Of the United Nations
with landing forces meeting no en-
envy opposition, t h Allied COM
mand announced today.
The communicate said "Scrapan-
to, like other islands in the Dode-
canese, is ex-enerny territory"
The wording Of the communique
appeared intended to make clear
to the Italians, who had occupied
Scarpanto and most of the Dode-
canese nearly Is years ago, and
to the Greeks who already r e
pressing demands for those islands,
that the United Nations as a whole
intend to take over administration
of the islands until final peace
settlement.
The communicate said the Greek
population of some 5000 persons
already had contained the German
occupation garrison on Scarpanto
before the British destroyers Ter
pschore and Cleveland arrived be-
fore dawn yesterday. Nothing was
said Of the size of the garrison.
The Greek government recently
expressed confidence hat its
claims to the Dodecanese islands
would not be seriously opposed by
either Turkey or Italy after the
war. Some Rome newspapers, how
ever, animated that the Italians
mad not given up all hopes of re-
tanning some influence in the east
ern Mediterranean.

Following the intermission, Miss
Smith, replacing two Chopin num-
bers with the possibly more famil.
lar Second Hungarian Rhapsody
by List, and playing the Danse
Macabre by Saint-Saens transcrib.
ed by List, displayed a pianism
of great brilliance and clarity,
but she did not accede to the de-
mand for an encore which the au-
dience made evident.
The last group was frankly for
the enjoyment of the audience
without any great demand for mu-
steal knowledge of any great
depth, and was a happy choice
from that point of view. It made
easy listening.
In response to the applause
which greeted the last number, the
violinist played 1.-THE Flight of the
Bundle Bee by Rimsky-W orsakof
and an audience was sent home
in most happy frame of mind.
The combination of Benno Rabi-
nof and Sylvia Smith is one that
makes for most enjoyable eve
ming of music, and the thanks of
the music lovers who were pres
ent last night, are due to the New
Hanover High School orcestra and
to Mrs. Eric Norden, the conductor
of the orchestra, who were instru-
mental in bringing the artist to
the city, to give us an evening re-
plete with harmonics, glissandos,
saltandos, pizzicatos, and anything
else that an artistic violinist has
in his repertory of tricks and tech
