The move to establish a legal

Miss Eta Taggart said no one
knows whether District citizens
want home rule, national repre-

satisfied with the present COM

Miss Taggart, it is imperative that

Piano Recital
By Elena de Soyn.

Hellmut Baerwald, pianist of
New York, who made his local
debut a few years ago in the
Phillips Gallery as assisting artist
to Doda Conrad, returned there
for solo recital last night.
Although his skill as a partner
has been admired previously, his
attainment as a pianist was not
fully revealed until yesterday.
Bach's "Toccata in c Major" in
Busoni's edition, was his first
test which he passed successfully.
He convinced the audience that
Bach was his element. His re-
sources are tremendous. techni-
cally and tonally.
His next best Offering came
last: Moussorgsky's Pictures at
an Exhibition" eight of which
were presented. Although not
listed on the program. the Ballet
of the Unmatched Chickens" as
played, proved to be one of the
most delightful of the set.
There was a feeling that Mr..
Baerwald was more at ease while
Executing Moussorgsky numbers,
less hurried and more composed.
Mozart's Sonata in G Major
could have gained with more re-
pose. as would have Albeniz' eel

out of the piano. Virtuosity and

BaerWald'S chief assets.
