LEVITSKI RECITAL BIG EVENT OF s MUSIC SEASON Pianist Shows Marked lu. provement Since First Appearance Here. By GRACE HVTCHINB. Quite the outstanding musical event of the season to date was the recital given at the Murat theater Sunday afternoon by Mischa Levitski, pianist, and the smallest crowd of the season gathered to hear him. What the audience lacked in numbers it made up in enthusiasm, however, and any lover of music who missed thi's concert missed a wonderful musical treat. Mr. Levitski has gone a long way artistically since his first appearance here some four or five years ago, when he made his first American tour and came to us unheralded by press notices. He was a fine technician at that time, but now he has grown in his art until he is at the top of the list of concert pianists. (►How so young a musician is able to do the things he does will always remain a marvel. We only know that he does them and we give thanks that he comes to play for us. ARDUOUS UROGRAM TREMENDOUS SUCCESS. He piayed a long and arduous program beginning with a group of classics that involved a tremendous technique, musical insight and intellectual grasp. They were: “Organ Toccato and Fugue’’ (Bach-Tausig) ; “Melodie” (Gluck-Sgam-bati), and “Scotch Dance” (Beethoven). These were followed by the Beethoven “Sonata Apassionata,” which he made a “living thing,” bringing out the emotional content. He very adroitly prevented the audience applauding between the movements of the sonata and succeeded in presenting it as a whole, which means much in the continuity of a number of this character. In his Chopin group he ran all the gamut of light and shade, of dash and brilliancy iand of rhythm and poetry. The “Butterfly Etude” was so winsome a thing it was repeated after most clamorous applause. The “Black Key” etude lost a little of its effectiveness, coming Immediately after the “Butterfly,' but it was brilliant qnd dashing and a wonderful performance. The “Waltz in A Flat,” “Nocturne in C Minor” and “Etude in D Flat.” completed the Chopin group. NOTHING OVERDONE IN CHOPIN PROGRAM. There was nothing overdone in Mr. Levitski’s Chopin playing, but there was much that was Individual anu all that was admirable and interesting. The difficult “Staccato Etude” of Rubinstein he took at a tremendous speed, bringing out all the loveliness of the number as well as the brilliancy. It was an example of perfect piano playing. The Racbmanloff “Prelude In G> Minor” r was full of thunderous big climaxes and rhythmic swing, more like a military march than a prelude The closing number of the program (as printed! was the “Concert Arabesques on the Themes of the Blue Danube Waltz.” Nothing more appealingly beautiful was ever written than this Strauss wutlz, and Scbulz-Evler has woven a myriad of colors in his embroidery of original themes. He who would fail to respond to the beautiful harmonies, the lovely embellishments and the infections rhythmic swing of this waltz’ as played by Levitski stands convicted of Living no music in his soul. Generous and obliging the artist added two more numbers, “Military March” (Schubert-Tausig) and the “Sixth Hungarian Rhapsodie” of Liszt.

Confessions] OF A BRIDE i S!11lilC1illlll!liiI11II]lil!li!!!lllliltl!illIlil!iI]!!Iin!!lii!li!IIQ!IlKllil!iilll!l!lllllll81}lii It was so like Daddy Lorimer to defy all Mexico. Daddy Lorimer sat stiffly in a corner of the auto. For the first time in his strenuous life he found himself unable to cope with circumstances, but from his •defiant attitude I could see that his spirit had not been broken by the misfortunes of the week. Hi 6 trials had been extreme. First, I had disappeared in a most unaccountable way; Chrys had dropped out of sight Just as mysteriously; then Bob had vanished! Daddy had been forced to accept a single explanation for all of the cases and it was a plausible one. His children had been kidnaped by Mexican outlaws, a revolutionary gang at war with the Mexican government and having no connection whatever with the inhabitants of the hacienda! That was the lie he had been told. He had no idea that the man whose guest he was, his former business partner and best friend, was actually at the bottom of the plot. Certeis might consipire to upset nations, but he would never harm his friend. So Daddy Lorimer believed. Kidnaping, however, wias the fashion of the day in Mexico. Naturally, the Hon. James D. Lorimer might conclude that he himself was in danger of being carried off with a price on his head. It was so like him to remain on the ground. It was like him to defy all Mexico, those in authority as well as the fifty-seven varieties of political power outside of the government. It was like him to -eniain where his dear ones had disappeared, with the ransom money ready. There was in his attitude, as he sat in the auto, still in ignorance of the fact that Bob and I had been found, a stolid indifference to the seen and unseen forces <1 evil which surrounded him. I thought as Bob and I ran to greet him, that Daddy Lorimer, better than any one I bad ever known, could honestly quote: “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” “How can a human being acquire such a tremendous personality?” I asked mvl self. My answer to my own question was: “By uot fussing and fretting and wearing himself out over petty things. ‘Character is cumulative’; iand man and women, when they grow old, are beautiful or ugly, hatpful or lovable, according as they have builded all the days of their lives.”

Daddy Loriraer hadn’t treated dear i mother just right, I remembered, but in everything else he had moved honestly j and openly end directly. Nothing could ‘ upset his magnificent poise. His expej rieuces at the hacienda had tried bis soul, but he was still Ha master. The sound of our voices brought him from a deep reverie. He stepped from the auto and hurried to meet us with an exclamation of joy. “My son! My son'.” he said. “My children!” He enclosed Bob and me in a single embrace, then be shook hands with Morrison as if that genial gentleman alone was responsible for the recovery of the foolhardy but precious pair. Archer and Spence lie greeted also —of course he had known Bob’s college chums for years-and then his eyes queslioned the path we had followed. Bob put his hand on his father’s arm. “Spence and I are going to find her.” he said gently, “Relieve me, Dad, if C'brys Is alive, we’ll find her. You are to escort Jane and Archer to the coast." Daddy Lorlmer made a quick gesture of dissent. Boh tapped his father’s wrist to emphasize the remainder of the plan. "Archer is out of it. He needs a nurse. For God's sake get him and Jane aboard the yacht as soon as you can. Morrison can't hplp you after he ge(s you to the coart. He has n lot to do in Mexico besides guarding the Lorlmer elan. We may need him to help us rescue Chrys, you know.”—Copyright, 1020. (To IV Continued).
