Liast night, an audience of 4000, including some who had been present in 1887, cheered a 61-year-old world-recognized genius, gray, slightly bald and modest, and listensd to him play the piano on that same stage. The bov and the man were the same=Jose! Hofmann, whose jubilee program was heard by one of the most distinguished audiences ever to assemble in the Metropolitan, people who paid $15 for a single orchestra seat, One person whom the pianist wished to have present was not in the audience=his mother, Mrs, Casimar Hofmann, 87. Her son had noticed that her handwriting in her recent letters was shaky, and he decided that the strain of the trip from Warsaw might be too great. He cabled her to remain home, but had his concert recorded so that the rec ords could be sent to her. Hofmann now is a naturalized American. Dr. Walter Damrosch, a member of the Hofmann Fifty-Year Club, who conducted for young Josef in the 1887 concert, recalled, in an introductory speech, that there had been a little boy in that audience who asked his mother if she thought he would be able to play as well as Josef is he practiced “ever so hard.” “The Muses were not at the boy's cradle,” Damrosch said. “He did not become a great pianist, But he did all right. He is President of the United States.” The jubilee program contained a letter to Mr. Hofmann from President Roosevelt, in which the President rgeretted his and Mrs. Roosevelt’s inability to be present, and expressed the hope that the jubilee would be “a memorial event in a career so crowded with distinction and that the music lovers of America may for vears to come have the ennobling influence which your art

has for so long infused into the mu-.

Rubinstein, a great 19th Century master, was Hofmann's teacher, Mr. Hofmann played with the Curtis Symphony Orchestra, led by Fritz Reiner, in which were the students and graduates of the Curtis Institute of Music, of which he is director and dean. The program nlso included =a Chopin group—Ballade in G Minor; Nocturne in E Flat; Valse in A Fiat, and “Andante Spianato and Pol onaise.” There were many encores, including the “Butterfly” etude, the Berceuse, the Mendelssohn “Spinning Song,” the Rachmaninoff Pre. lude in G Minor and the Mozskowski “Spanish Caprice.” Muisc critics were lavish in praisHofmann's artistry. Wr, Hofmann turned over the entire proceeds from the concert-—esti-mated at $22,000—to the Musicians’ Emergency fund.
