|Violinist Gimpel
Gives Program in
Polish Embassy
By Alice Eversmon

Bronislaw Gimpel whose recent
violin recital in Carnegie Hall, New
York, was one of the most success
full of the season gave program
last night in the Polish Embassy.
The artist played before a large
gathering with the able assistance of
Brooks Smith at the piano, who
seconded the violinist's every effort
and achieved with him a remark
ably fine ensemble. The program
was of the kind to disclose various
facets of the artists talent, his
mechanical facility, his tempera-
ment and his musicianship.
These various elements all came
to the fore in the Bach "Chaconne"
which was the high point of the
recital. In the excellent presenta-
ton the artists tone had a glowing
warmth and the many special eff
fects to which 1t was directed
showed a penetrating analysis of
the work. His clean-cut phrasing
and poised delivery gave a clarity
to the whole as well as a richness of
feeling seldom sought after in this
famed composition where the ar
tist stands on his own without bene-
fit OF piano background.
The "Chaconne" was followed by
Creston's Suite, op. 18" played
from memory. 1t is a charming
work, fresh in ideas and light
hearted in mood although at inter-
walls there were patches of banality
not in keeping with the rest of the
skilled design. Beethoven's Son
alta, op. 80, No. g." the opening num-
Der, was less ingratiatingly deliv-
cred but it served as warming up
for the outstanding performance
of the Bach work. Mr.. Gimpel
plays with fire, incisive bowling and
mastery finger deXterity and these
combine to give Wieniawski's Con
certo No. 2 in D minor" pro-
grammed later, it's full measure of
brilliancy and poetry. 1t was as note
worthy a playing of this popular
concerto as has been heard and
one that had the further virtue of
detailed musicianly treatment. Here
again Mr.. Smith contributed not a
little to the superiority of the per-
formance.
Szymanowskis la Fontaine d
Arethuse" and Chant de Roxane"
called forth a dencacy and fleetness
which Mr.. Gimpel commands as
easily as the bravura style. The
double harmonics and. glissandos
with trills in the former we're de-
livered with an accuracy and light
ness of ethereal tonal beauty. The
program concluded with a dashing
performance of Chopin's Waltz, op.
64, No. 2" in Hubermann's arrange
ment of 1t for the violin.

FEEDING TABLE.
From Mrs. w. F. NJ, Coral Hills J

From Mrs. w. F. NJ, Coral HiLs.)
To Mrs. r. M. K, Wash: I have
had experience with both a high
chair and the feeding table you
mention and use both for the same
baby. Because the high chair was
so heavy to move from dinette to
kitchen Cmy kitchen is too small to
keep cnair in) and because the baby
had to have a plate, glass, toast
and jar of fruit or custard and I
never could find a place to accomo-
date all these things on high chair
tray, I decided to invest in the
feeding table and I was so glad I
did I could place things I wasn't
ready for out of the baby's reach
on the back of the table and still
nave them right at my reach without
jumping up several times for the
next course. Also found it nice to
put several toys on the ample table
when baby got to "finicky' stage
and she played with these without
constantly dropping them, as is the
case from a small high chair tray,
while I feed her. There is a slight
rocking possible in this table, too,
that keeps baby amused. This chair
was a great boon, too, when friends
dropped in to chat, as 1t could be
rolled in living room and baby's
meal continued while every one was
comfortable. The table is so attrac-
tive that you could use in the living
room with pride. 1t always was ad-
mired when in use In mine. It is
handy to foldup and carry in the

Re: Lady Horror Writers

other women actually read such
stories? Mr.. Quinn chuckled as he
reached up over the bookcase and
unlocked q framed lithograph.
"The Ghost Story" it is called and
it shows nothing more than q young
lady of the Bronte era in her bou-
doir, her eyes wide with fright, her
tiny hands nervously clutching the
cause Of it all, a novel.
Il picked this up in an old junk
shop years ago." he said. II think it
is pretty good answer to your ques-
tion."
So we come to the present where,
discover. that just as in the begin
ming, women are still prominent
horror writer's. Many of them, like
Greye La Spina. write for Weird
Tales" the magazine to which Mr..
Quinn has contributed since his
debut as spinner Of such stories.
Then there is Lucille Fletcher, my
own small contribution to the dis
cussion, who specializes in horror
tales for radio programs such as
Suspense" Women, it seems take
to horror as naturally as they do
to haute couture.
And do women today still read
such works? This time instead OF
reaching for a wall, the author
pulled open a drawer Of his filing
cabinet and tossed a bundle of
fan letters into my lap. Then he
riffled through a few back issues of
magazines specializing in yarns of
the other world" and pointed out
random letters to the editor written
by women readers commencing this
or that story.
Il cannot refrain from expressing
my deep gratitude to you for the
many thrills your stories have given
me-" gushed one lady Quinn fan.
1T Zone of the Quinn shockers)
gave me wonderful thrill. 1t gives
a tang to life that the unbroken
monotony of being coddled and
petted fails to deliver" said another.
And so on, for it seems that
whether they read it or write it, the
ladies think horror Is wonderful.
So does Mr. @. But his next book
is going to be something Just a
little different-a biography of
Santa Claus! After 20 years, horror
can become a horrible bore!

Importance of a hat is minimized.
Women here want hats that will be
in keeping with the time of day. In
the morning they want trim sports
types. In the after-five period, they
like hats that are elegant and lavish.
At all times they want hats that are
becoming, feminine, flattering, and
look out Of the ordinary.
A hats price tag Is not an indi-
cation Of the creators skill, Edith
Burrows states. Her enthusiasm
from beginning to end in creating q
hat never diminishes. why, I am
as excited when 7 finish a hat as
the customer herself. I, too, enjoy
the elan, the glow, that a beauti-
full hat can give a woman" Most
of her hat designs bear names that
carry out the theme Of the hat.
One model, for example, titled Mos
talgia" Is lovely felt trimmed with
gray lilacs and soft yelling.
Women over 80, Edith Burrows
feels, should play down their fig
ures and instead play up their face
and facial expressions: Simply de-
signed, well-cut clothes OF excel
lent fabrics, and hats that are utter
ly different and charming can d.

being devotee of either, I had in
my ignorance assumed that most
such were written by men. A
chance remark made by the author
one recent day as We sat in his
downtown hideaway set NE straight
on that point, too.
Mr.. Quinn, who looks like a
scholarly Jimmy Gleason and
speaks in the hushed. hesitant tones
of a Karloff, looked pained. In
deed no." he hastened 10 assure me.
MANY of the foremost writers Of
such stories today are women. AS
a matter of fact, the granddaddy
of 'em all, 'Frankenstein, was writ
ten by a woman, way back IN 1878"
The lady in question, Mary Wall
stonecraft Shelley, as Mr.. Quinn
went on to inform me, was the Sec
ond wife of the poet Shelley. 1t
seems that while abroad with ner
husband in 1916, she attended a
party at which one of the pastimes
was composing tales of the super
natural. Mrs. Shelley's contribution
was the framework of the novel
she completed two years later, and
which today remains masterpiece
of such stories. She was 81 at the
time of the books publication.
Not the usual sort of occupation
one associates with the delicate
damseIs OF that era! But Mrs. Shell
ley wrote many other stories and
supported herself by their sales
after her husbands death.
And she was not alone in this
calling. There were also, pointed
out Mr.. G., as he warmed to his
subject, Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gill
man, the social worker who wrote
'The Yellow Wall Paper; Ann
Radcliffe, who in 1894 turned out
one of the first Gothic" novels,
"The Mysteries Of Udolpho," for
which she received the unprece-
dented price of 500 pounds (about
$250o); Clara Reeve, who in l777
wrote "The Old English Baron" for
which she not so luckily was able
to earn only 10 pounds; Mrs. Bar
baud, Mrs. Roche chow quaint the
use of the title seems today, Mrs.
Sophia Lee and SO many others
that 1t seems rather than the ex-
ception, women were the leaders In
this field of literature. In fact, so
numerous were novels with super
natural theme that another woman,
Jane Austen, was prompted to write
"Northanger Abbey" satire on
them.
Done to excess through the years,
the Gothic novel slowly evolved into
a new and sounder school of litera-
ture and here again it was a woman
who led the way-Emily Bronte and
"Wuthering Heights.
All right, so lot of women were
prominent in the field of super
natural writing. But did that mean
