For the piano recital by Artur
Schnabel last night. 1t seemed that
all the lovers of piano music turned
out so that close to capacity audi
ence filled Constitution Hail. The
renowned artist, who has not played
here for more than decade, was.
of course, the chief magnet; yet by
the end of the recital. the realiza-
ton dswned that it was the music
that was the important thing. This
is Schnabel's way OF playing and
rarely, If ever, has an artist of his
celebrity so completely effaced him.
self as a personality In order to al
low the works of the master CON-
posers to take the limelight.
Two moods in the audience alter
mated with regularity. During the
performance of each work, there
was a stiffness such as seldom in
vades the hall and which bespoke
the listening ears that did not wish
to miss note. And when the last
of these ceased to reverberate, a
.tumult of applause broke out, call
ing the artist back again and again.
Such complete tribute in two ways
is not always customary with con-
cert audiences.
Some of the absorption might be
attributed to the almost hypnotic

The climax was reached In the
aArietta" Of Beethoven's Sonata
N @ minor, op. Ill, where the
appealing softness and tranquility of
his tone and the delicacy of his
trills created an atmosphere of en-
claantment.
The first movement Of the Beet
hoven sonata and Bach's "Chro-
matte Fantasy and Fugue" had
little that was ingratiating or ex-
citing in Schnabels presentation
What should have been sonorous
was persuasive, without flame to
light the high points. and the vital
surge was missing. The playing of
the entire program was mosaic in

from precious portions, their colors
expertly blended, their edges
smoothed away. Mr.. Schnabel is

His tone Is chiefly beautiful Ii Its
softest expression; otherwise 1t has
. rather dry quality. But these
elements are important In artists
who have not so much to say In
their playing as does Mr.. Schnabel.
In some respects this bore an
academic tinge for exhaustive study

musical picture constructed so
smoothly and so delicately. The
many repetitions In Schubert's
Sonata in G major, op. rs" came

lovely work of Schubert's last years
was given a sunny reading, song
full and charming. Mozart's Soma

1T was early twilight when the
Chef and l first saw it, a cozy low
white house with gray shutters and
green awnings surrounded by a
smooth lawn and green shrubbery.
There were flagstone walks, hedge
and a white picket fence in back.
High buildings lowered behind it.
The sidewalks were crowded with
pedestrians. Rushing past were
thousands of automobiles, cabs, and
buses, and there, in the midst of the
clamor of the city, it stood on New
York's Fifth Avenue-a veritable
dream house. One of more than
seventy dream houses on display in
leading cities of the country, each
destined to become a prize in con-
tests conducted by leading charities.
In New York the sponsor is the
New York Heart Association.
