Templeton Pl ays oA Murat With Taste and Skilled Tone

By HENRY BUTLER The woods are full of pianists, but there aren't many Alec Templetons. That's why I'm sorry the house wasn't bigger last night at the Murat when Mr. Templeton gave a fine program, beginning conventionally and ending unconventionally. As a serious musician, Mr, Templeton is well worth hearing, even

though the serious part of the program last night was not startling. Mr. Templeton plays piano in the best modern British manner—that is to say, with good taste, good tone; good pedalling. : He began with Rummell's piano transcription of the great E minor chorale from Bach's Easter cantata, a piece familiar to many through the recording by Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia orchestra. (Incidentally, that's about as good a Bach-Stokowski recording as any to have around the house. Play ft often and the kids will catch on. It's better than talk about music appreciation.)

“In her claws are broken hearts and other women. She twists men around her little finger. Her heart is small and black and harbors a poisonous spider which has woven a web in which she has caught men, men, men.” . When Gary Cooper visited Chicago, he sat for a portrait of his subconscious. The results were quite different. ; Sees Gary ‘Beautiful’ “The world,” sald Miss Fisher, “sees Gary as within a beautiful, shining, golden coat of mail. Through his helmet show eyes that twinkle with fun, : “Cameras to the right of him indicate that the world sees nothing but this. But what is beneath that armor—that’s the secret.
