Fine Concert Given
Here Last Sunday
Canadian Pianist John Knight Well
Received By Milford Audience

John Knight, brilliant young Can
adian pianist, presented the second
concert in the Community Concert
Series in the Milford High School
Auditorium last Sunday afternoon
before a very receptive audience.
Mr.. Knight performed a program
that be1tes his q years, and was
one worthy of a more matured ar
tist. HIS program, a studied per-
fOrmance of the Scarlatti and Bach
period ranged to a complete sec
tiOn devoted exclusively to the
works of Chopin, Beethoven, and
concluded with compositions of
PrOkOfiieff, RachmaninOff, Alec
TempletOn, and Franz Liszt.
In this reviewers opinion, Mr..
Knight performed brilliantly in all
schools of composition, but he was
at his height during the playing
Of the AppassiOnata of Beethoven.
This Sonata, enjoyed by most piano
virtuosi, is not performed enough
for the delight of audiences. It
casts a spell about the artist and
audience that is heard only dur
ing the performance of this COM
pOser's symphonies. In fact, Bee
thOven's sOnatas are often refer
red to as piano symphonic pieces.
1t is to be noted that the Piano
used at this concert is in the music
room of the Milford High School,
and has been purchased by the Mil
ford School Board to encourage
community concerts, and to help
bring good artists to Milford for
all to hear.
The next concert by the Milford
Community Concert Association
will be the final one for the sea-
son, and will take place on Sun
day afternoon, February II, and
will present the eminent baritone,
Edwin Steffe.

Two chairs that once belonged
to historic Woodlawn Mansion in
nearby Virginia are to be re-
turned today after an absence of
106 years.
Owned by Mrs. Willard H.
Wright of Washington and her
sister. Mrs. Harcourt M. Wade
Of Parkfairfax. they will be
formally presented. on indefinite
loan, in a ceremony at the for
mer home of Nellie Gusts, now
national shrine.
The chairs were bought by the
great-grandfather of the two sis
ters at a sale conducted in 1846
by the Woodlawn heirs. They
have been identified as painted
Sheraton.
The presentation will be made
through the American Liberty
Chapter, Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution. of which Mrs.
Wright is a member.
Ever since the days of her
childhood when she lived at the
old family home, Walnut Hill-a
half mile from Woodlawn-Mrs.
Wright has been fascinated by the
historic old mansion, which she
visited many times as a girl.
''My sister and I were so happy
to see the foundation take over
Woodlawn and open it to the pub
lie. that we thought it only
appropriate that we take back
the chairs that once belonged
there, for the enjoyment of
visitors to the mansion" Mrs.
Wright explained.
The chairs were acquired by
Mrs. Wright's ancestor, Thomas
Wright, a New Jerseyite while he
was employed by PHILADELPHIA
shipbuilding company. Sent to
Virginia to survey for good tim
ber tracts, he found the best stand
OF timber around Woodlawn, so
his firm bought the property from
the Woodlawn heirs.
Finding Virginia more to his
liking than New Jersey, Thomas
Wright decided to take the firm
up on its offer to sell subdivisions
OF the purchased property to'
private buyers. While his home att
Gray's Hill was being built, he and
his family lived in Woodlawn for

Mrs. Wright's time.
She does recall that as a small
girl. she caught a glimpse of famed
actress, Julia Marlowe, as she re-
hearsed part from one of her
plays while staying at Woodlawn,
then owned by Paul Kester, noted
American dramatist and play
wright.
The chairs, which are straight
in design, with woven rush seats,
conventional gold design and black
paint finish, have been placed in
the f1rst-f1oor bedroom once occu-
pied by Nellie Custis Lewis when
she was chatelaine of Woodlawn.
