of Moose, johanna Harris graciously
made place for compositions of two
Garrett CountianS. These were two
pieces for flute and piano "Andante
in c." and "Schon Gretchen" by
Bessie Ward limbaugh, with the
composer playing the flute solo
and Johana Harris the piano.
They were daintily and piquantly
melodious and soundly harmonized.
johanna Harris played an impro-
vization of Ballad of the Table
land, The Glades of Garrett" by
Felix Chiffon Robinson. 1t is a
musical setting of verses by the late
Folger McKinsey in which the
famed Bentztown Bard expressed
nostalgia feeling for local scenes
he had once visited. The vein of
the music was admirably adapted
to the sentiment of the poem. With
superlative artist playing it the
piece was magnificent
The compositions of the local mu-
sicians were more than heartily re-
ceived.
AS an extra encore johanna Har
ris played a dazzlingly brilliant I'M
provizatI0n on bits of theme woven
together with conSummate artistry.
There were at least ten themes
ranging from homespun dirt-farmin'
tunes like Sailors Hornpipe," and
Pop Goes the Weasel" through
Debussy, Strauss, Dvorak, Won
Suppe, Tchaikowsky. The Glades
of Garrett" found place; Star
Dust" was there, and some popular
waltz tune this reporter can whistle
but cannot label.
Judge Neil c. Fraley spoke brief
ly in introducing Mr.. F. Roy Yoke,
Past Supreme Governor of the
Loyal Order of Moose. In his intro
duction of johanna Harris, Mr.. Yoke
paid eloquent tribute to her out
standing gifts as an artist and to
her unaffected bearing as an indi-
vidual and her unbounded personal
charm.
Rev. John j. Atwell, in behalf of
the local lodge of Moose presented
the artist with spray of red roses
Baskets of flowers we're also pre-
scented by the American Associa-
ton of University Women and the
Civic Club.
At the end of the recital the audi
ence enjoyed the privilege of ris-
ing and singing of one stanza of
America" accompanied at the pi-
ano by a great artist and truly dis
tinguiShed woman.

Harris Recital
Artistic Triumph
A Review BY DENNIS RAsCHE

A Review BY DENNIS RASCHE
johanna Harris, internationally
famed pianist, appeared in recital
Friday night before an attentive and
vastly-impressed audience at the
Southern High school in Oakland.
Her program was of broad scope,
nearly evenly divided between
works of the great classicists,
romanticiStS, impreSSioniSts, and
moderns, and was accordingly one
demanding profound musicianship.
Throughout, the artist displayed the
faultless technique, subtle and deli
cate sense of tone-color, and refined
feeling for the musical phrase that
has made her fame secure as among
the very great pianists of her time.
With scholarly knowledge of plan
istic literature she interpreted with
sympathetic understanding the mes
sage of the masters, their many and
varied moods
RondO in F Major was the Mozart
of ineXhaustible invention, of
sparkling scales and glittering
apreggio, in a moment of unbound
ed exuberance of spirit,
The effect of this opening num-
Der was electrifying; Immediately
the artist became mistress of the
feelings of her hearers.
Beethoven's Country Dance was
the Colossus in a humor of re-
strained jollity; Romance in F
sharp Major was Robert Schumann
in a mood of somber melancholy,
perhaps foreboding of tragedy to
come.
Four short pieces by the Ameri-
can composer, Roy Harris, were in
cluded. OF this eminent creative
musician it may be said that his
prolific inspiration is more than all
else essentially American, with a
contemporary pulse expressing the
dynamic drive of present day life.
The audience responded warmly to
the Roy Harris music, which has an
instantaneous appeal.
In the nature of things johanna
hn anly nc
the foremost interpreter of music
written for the piano by Harris, and
he has written much in the larger
forms Yet she was no less authOri-
tative with the four Chopin etudcs
and the four Debussy pieces, these
affOrding a wealth of rich and color
full contrasts with the other master
works, with each other, and each
with himself.
Chopin and Debussy were played
with such graceful facility and live
ly feeling that were these unique
and towering geniuses living today
one might well expect them to
come striding forward to bestow
upon johanna Harris affectionate
and approving pats on the back.
The artist interspersed these
pieces with intimate and genially
humorous comment. Picking
Chopin theme apart with each hand
separately she illustrated some of
the mechanics whereby he effected
his wizardry. 1t sounded fairly
simple-but ah we'll, let's not
everybody try to be his own Fred
eric Chopin. Debussy, an anti
Wagerian, gave the latter musical
Bronx cheer by caricaturing in one
of his short humorous pieces an
oft-recurring theme from Tristan
and Isolde. The audience loved
this.
The occasion being something of
a community project, a benefit for
and sponsored by the Loyal Order

HAYWOOD, PIANIST AND COMPOSER. TELLS
HOW he WAS INSPIRED TO
WRITE HIT CANADIAN SUNSET

Chicago amp Not too long
ago Eddie Haywood, whose magic
on the piano keyboard has won
him fabulous acclaim, was play
ing a date In Quebec, Canada when
he noticed the setting of beauti-
full Canadian sun.
Deeply moved by the beauty Of
this event, Haywood used to stop
In small hillside church yard to
sit and reflect the splendor OF the
sun setting Each day before go
ing to work, he would stop and
watch the beautiful crimson sun
descending behind the hills over
the horizon.
For two weeks Eddie found him
self becoming more and more
charmed and enhanced by this ele-
giant phenomena and one day he
decided to do something about
capturing this beauty in music.
Thus was born Canadian Sun
set. which in a matter OF weeks
became a top hit throughout the
nation. selling thousands of copies.
Heywood's career started when
he was IA in an Atlanta vaude-
Vile house where he substituted
for his father as pianist and band
leader.
His father, a graduate of the
Boston Conservatory OF Music, had
been instructing Eddie In theory,
harmony and composition for sew
en- years when he departed to be
musical director OF New York
revue. leaving Eddie to take over
In the vaudeville house.
When sound films began to
lower vaudeville box office re-
ceipts, Eddie went to New Orleans
to absorb some Of the jazz tradi.
ton that was rapidly sweeping the
country. Later he moved to Kan
sas City where Benny Carter
heard him and Immediately took
him along as part OF the Garter
band.
Carter later introduced Hey
wood to Billie Holiday and togeth

ton with Billie made him decid,
