Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience
NUMBER 94
Rachmaninoff Pleases Crowd With His Technique
Selections in Minor Moody
The program began with a lightly dressed, 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 theme, accepted in acceptance of three, the selections chosen by Rachmaninov for his University program were somewhat melancholy and sad, suggestive of his aspect throughout the entire recital. His second group consisted of four works, including first, in D major, a sprightly, well executed, deft air, suitable for a display of nimble fingers. The second, in E minor, possessed varied tempos, but again in the minor theme. The fourth, a soona in B major, a bright display of frills, lace, and decoration.

Students in the University
received a rare treat last night in
the person of Sergei Rakhmaninov,
 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.
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 dynamic, more morbid. The second movement, mucosus, was replete with runs, most of the work being executed by the left hand. The large introduced a mood of mournful solemnity, but the finale suggested a real original theme, rythmic and melodic.

Plays Own Manuscript
Plays Own Manuscript After the intermission, Rachmaninoff returned to play first his own composition of Bach's "Prelude," from his violin suite. Here was displayed a collection of techniques that accentuated the characteristic style of the composer. The next group was devoted to two of his own compositions, "Daisies," and an "Oriental Sketch." His rather moody disposition was well illustrated by the curious minor strains.
Plays C-Shard Minor Prelude
The program over, the pianist left the stage, but the audience felt that something was yet lacking. So upon the persuasion of frenzied applause, Rachmanninoff returned to his instrument and played the beloved Prelude in C-Shard Minor. Finally, playing it somewhat more slowly than usual, /After a final encore, the pianist was permitted to leave, and nearly four thousand persons

The first selection in the last group, all of which were by the composer Franz Liszt, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a rapt audience. The Liebstraume color, full of feeling and beauty. He treated it as a rare bit of bifrag china. Following, was the Valse Oblucie, No. 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last selection, the Rapaport. The latter is suggestive of a fantastic gypsy-like motion.
on the SHIN by Kenneth Morris
Virginia Taylor happily announced to her Gamma Phi sisters that she had received a valentine gift from her boy friend in a distant town, and showed them the large box as proof. When the box was opened it was found to contain all of the old letters of affection from the writer, written to gift other than an official letter from the friend telling that he had never loved anyone as much as Virginia, and in the next breath saying that he had a new girl and was going steady. The letter closed with this bit of
