Interesting Recital
Wins Ovation for
Felicia Rybier
By Alice Eversmon

Felicia Rybier's interesting re-
cital in the Phillips Gallery last
night was attended by an audience
that filled the hall and the adjacent
rooms. The Polish pianist was in
excellent form, presenting especially
brilliantly the two new numbers,
heard for the first time locally, Kas-
sern's "Sonatina" and Chayes
'Palestinian Dance" Her program
was equally divided between we'll
known and modern works, in the
playing of which the artist received
repeatedly enthusiastic applause.
To a style patterned on the grand
manner, Miss Rybier brings an alert
temperament that gives sweep and
dash to all her bravura playing
Her fingers are strong and supple,
50 that technical passages were not
only secure but exceedingly swift
and clear in delivery. Directed by
her natural elan, they were at times
breath-taking in their brilliant
velocity. The artist has gained ir

closed in her reading of Couperin's
Sister Monica" and Borodin's "At
the Convent" the opening numbers.
Again in Beethoyen's "Pathetique"
son alta, 1t lent itself to well-round-
ed phrasing, although the tragic
mood of the work was not COM
pletely realized. The tonal investi-
ture was much the same through
out, and not enough time was given
to emphasis on those elements that
create and define its atmosphere.
More effort in this direction went
into the playing of the Chopin
group, especially the "Nocturne, Op
9, No. g." The formidable "Fantasie
in F Minor" in spite of slackening
of mood at times, was notably read
and the "Scherzo in B Minor" bril-
liantly dispatched.
1t was in the more modern works,
however, that Miss Rybier excelled
and her performance of Scria-
bins "Nocturne tor the Left Hand
Alone" was magnificent in technical
and interpretive effects. The two
numbers by contemporary Polish
composers showed both originality
and inspiration.

music at the Detroit Jewish Com

at their little joke, leaving the

George finished his Martini and
ordered a hot chicken sandwich.

story about flying the Atlantic

the gathering relaxed to some ex-
tent. MIR. Southland said he really

each other.

how to feel responsible. Chap was

the incident.

hat, gloves and stick. Good after

a chorus of rejoinders, good-bys

here is a new realization. Streams
of light and influence flow from
and to all parts of the world.
The Dutch government extend
ed a royal reception to the dele
gates of the council Monday night.
The next night visitors enjoyed
a boat ride through the canals
of Amsterdam.
Many 0 fthe American delegates
are planning to see and hear much
on the European continent before
returning to the states-that is
if their cash holds out long
enough.
Bishop J. A. Hamlet has been
invited by Bishop Paul CARRIER of
the Methodist church of Geneva
area to visit with him before re-
turning to America. The two pre-
lates met each other in a lecture
engagement. Both had attended
Cannon Theological seminary in
Atlanta several years ago.
Bishop and Mrs. ]. A. Gregg
are stopping at the Victoria hotel.
Both of the m enjoy the speeches
and discussion of the sessions. Bis
hop Gregg is at home, it seems,
since he is a world traveller Of
many contacts.
Mrs. r. T. Hollis, Of Oklahoma
City, is cultivating many new
friendships which will help her in
her missionary work.
Mrs. Lena A. Hamlet of Kansas
City, has become very popular
among the ladies at the Krausna-
polosky hotel. She is a member OF

n Was a NEGRO"

In one of the lagre Negro
weeklies, and in several white
dailies, there is a series running
entitled, 81 Was a Negro" The
author of the series is Roy Sprigle
who for 80 days posed as a Ne
gro in the south, and then wrote
the series on his experiences. Much
publicity has been afforded to this
series by the man called the ma
TONS Nof / white reporter"
Since the story broke, however,
much criticism has been directed
at the articles. Most prominent
critic is Stetson Kennedy, who,
though his critique was valid and
interesting, did not lay as niue
emphasis as he might have on the
main weakness. And there were
many weaknesses.
In our opinion, and we think the
majority of Negro people will con-
cur, for a man in 80 short days to
attempt to sweepingly declare that
most Negroes in the south want
to "stay by themselves" do not
want to inter-marry, have no de-
auction so far, Negro delegates
from the U. S. A.. will do more
than just listen las important as
that is, they will speak and act.
