Norton Recital Opens Music Week
Variation in Program Of Young Pianist Wins Approval
The concert of Eunice Norton, young New York pianist, presented last night as the first outstanding event of Music Week, was a splendid opening for the week's festivities, ultimately, the audience was small.
The varied program showed to good advantage the versatile skill of the artist. It began with classical Mozart, and ended with modern Strainsky, including Chopin and Brahms. Chopin, always well known by music audiences, was most appreciated by the listeners.
“Petrouchka” a ballet by the Russian composer, Stravinsky, is characteristic of the kind of modern music now compelling keen interest in classical music. In *The Perpetration of the piece* included enthusiasm from the listeners.
Noise in the Auditorium was at a minimum during the concert. Unfortunately, only a small portion of the audience was able to glimpse the performer's hands, as the piano was placed in a position parallel with the stage and at right angle to the center axis.
Miss Norton came originally from Minneapolis. She first studied in Europe with Tobias Mathney and Artur Schnabel. Later she appeared with the orchestra of Sir Henry Wood of London. Soon after she gave recital appearances in leading cities of Germany and Holland.
In 1932 Miss Norton made her American debut at Carnegie hall. In the following season she appeared as solist with five major symphony orchestras and in Philadelphia, the Philadelphia, Chicago Boston, and Minneapolis.

Guest Conductor Fred Littooy
one Theta party last Friday night was a headache, temporarily, for at least three Sig Alph's who were blessed with dates. Wilbur Kroker had left the duty of sending the corsages up to John Zieglemeyer, brother Sig Alph. Ziglemeyer gave the dates, but sent Keenner to Sig Alph, with whom he supposed Wilbur had a date. The crisis arose when it was discovered that Judy Edison was the rightful recipient of the flowers and that Jack Scott, another Sig Alph, was the fellow who should have been shelling out the finances for Perry's corage. This inauspicious ning was trivial comparison to what was to come...you guessed it they related.
Bill Machic, that man of all creeds, gunned the Green Planet to the city recently with his trumpet packed anugly in the rumble seat. You see, he had to take good care of that trumpet because it was a club and a hauling jam session. The session is open to the public, so Bill joined in with several preparatory blasts from his horn. But he just didn't have what it takes, for one of the patrons stalked up to him and boldly suggested, even threatened, interpolations, from further interpolations, from that, even though he could not, he certainly couldn't put out any melody.
