4. 5 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas VOLUME XXXIV NUMBER 94 Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience I Rachmaninoff Please Crowd With His Technique By John Bondeson, c'unel Students in the University received a rare treat last night in the person of Serger Rachmaninoff, celebrated Russian pianist. In a program composed largely of selections in minor moods, the composer-conductor-pianist displayed a virtuosity seldom heard on this campus, and a warmth and feeling for color that explains the reason for his many years of unparalleled popularity. Selections in Minor Mode The program begin with a lightly structured, "stage" by Haydon. The rest of the first group was devoted to a selection, minor in mood, entitled "Melodie," which was written by Gluck-Sgambati. Here was the first suggestion of the predominant composer, except for an acceptance of three, the selections chosen by Rachmaninoff for his University program were some what melancholy and sad, suggestive of his aspect throughout the entire recital. His second group consisted of various pieces, including an acceptance of three, the selection The remainder of the first half was devoted to Chopin's Sonata, Op. 58. The first movement, marked allegro, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replaced by a more melodic movement, morable. The second movement, musette, was replete with runs, most of the work being executed by the left hand. The large introduced a mood of mournful solenity, but the flute suggested a replay of an original theme, rythmic and melodic. Plays Own Manuscript Plays Own Matterlines. After the internship, the technician returned to play with his own instrument and calls it "Prelude," from his violin suite. Here was displayed a brisk firmness of touch which accentuated the characteristic style of the composer. The next group was devoted to two of his own composition, "Daisies," and "An Oriental Sketch." His rather moody disposition was well illustrated by the curious minor strains. The first selection in the last group, all of which were by the composer Franz Lüst, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a rapt audience. The Liebstraeum, with its colorful, full of feeling and beauty, he treated it as a rare bit of bifrag china. Following, was the Valse Outhile, No. 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last selection, the Rapido, No. 12. The latter is a fantastic lyric-like motion of a fantastic lyric-like movement. Plays C-Schar Minor Pretude The program on the piano, the artist left the stage, but the audience felt that something was yet lacking. So upon the persuasion of fretted instrumentists and the musicians to his instrument and played the beloved Prelude in C-Schar Minor.

Dr. James Naismith, for the referee. John Seigle, the bully, ruined the game by scoring the only goal with a double-twist submarine to while nine opponents were all but disengaging his vertebrae.

As an organ of public opinion, it has done much to stimulate free discussion. Best wishes for the next quarter century. E. H. LINDLEY "This is a greeting from Grandpap, for 50 years ago I used to spend time that might have been spent worse in my classes playing joysticks. In those days we had the "Weekly Courier." But in those days when there was no football, we released our emotions in more or less literary pursuits, and in the Oratorical association, but the University released the release that we needed for our surging emotions. It was a lot of fun. I wish now I had acquired more formal education. I seem to have trained my degree for WALTER A. HUXMAN. '14.

New Beer Bill May Be Fatal To Local Cafes The beer bill, now before the Kansas Senate, as revealed in a recent survey taken by the Daily Kansan, will practically close the doors of nearly 400,000 cafes and restaurants who handle beer in Lawrence. More than half of the "blackened joints" will have to close up shop or resort to bootlegging in order to maintain their business. Owners, without exception, expressed their opinion that since beer had been sold in Kansas, the amount to drunkenness had decreased noticeably. It is their belief that people have been satisfying themselves by drinking beer instead of the more intoxicating hard liquors. Ten proprietors of concern selling beer were unanimous in the opinion that if the beer bill is passed there will be a decided increase in the consumption of stronger drinks in Kansas. This increase, they said, would undoubtedly make for a similar increase in the amount of drunk Continued on page 27 Comics in Kansan Campus Artists Draw Original Strip The Daily Kanaan has been fortnite in obtaining the talents of two clever students, Carol Johnson, fa'38, and J.

Famed Russian Composer To Appear Tomorrow in Auditorium Serge Rachmaninoff will appear in the capacities of composer and pianist in his concert at the University Auditorium at $2.90 tomorrow night, a feature several of his own compositions and a group by Löpin and Chopin. The concert is attracting reservations from cities as far away as Falls City, Neb., and Joplin, Mo. A large number of performers included the director of music of the State Teachers College, Orville Brothers, and his wife. There will be a number here from Manhattan, Leavenworth, Kansas City, and Toledo. Rachmaninoff received his education in Russia where he was highly acclaimed. His appearance with the London Philharmonic Society in the roles of composer, conductor, and pianist granted the artist his first international success. In 1909 he came to the United States. The downfall of the old regime in Russia resulted in his establishing his home here and he has not since returned to his native land. Of his compositions, Rachmaninoff has probably received the greatest popular fame and recognition for the famous "Prelude in C Sharp Minor," and it is probable that he will play this selection as an encore at his re-commencement. The phonology of Rachmaninoff's has been a feature of recent programs of several of the leading symphony orchestras of this country. As a composer, Rachmaninoff has been named as a connecting link between the old traditions and the new ideals of music. His creative ability became evident early in his life and on graduation from the Moscow Conservatory he won a gold medal for his orchestra. He then he has composed in practically all forms with a record of notable achievement in each. The program for the concert, which will be given in two parts, is as follows: **Fantasie** (Haydn); **Melodie** (Gluck-Sgambati); **Three Sonatas** (Scarlatti); **D* Major**, *E* Minor, and *E* Major); **Sonata, Op. 58** (Chopin), **Allogro**, **Maestros* (Largo, and *Final*); **Dante**, **Daria** (Rachmaninoff); **Oriental Skirt** (Rachmaninoff); **Necturre** (Lust); **Valve Ouldeuse, No. 3** (Lust); **Rap- sodie, No. 12** (Lust).
