Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience
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 Rerge Sermagininoinoff, 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.
Selection in Minor Mood
The program began with a lightly glittery ribbon by Huydon. 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 Wodean composer for the reception, an acceptance of three, the selections by Rachmaninoff for his University program were some what melancholy and sad, suggestive of his aspect throughout the entire rectal. His second program was "Goeiflatt." The first, in D major, was 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, when the major was completed, a major, was a brief display of frills lace, and decoration.
The remainder of the first half was devoted to Chopi's Sonate, Op. 58. The first movement, marked allegro, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replaced by a melodic pattern, lifting and moving it back and forth. Mastose, was replete with runs, most of the work being executed by the left hand. The large introduced a mood of mournful solemnity, but the final suggested a return to the original theme, rhythmic
Plays Own Manuscript After the intermission, Rachmani-fo returned to play first his own transcription of Bach's "Prelude," from his first book, and then to a brisk firmness of touch which 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.
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 Liebstraume color, full of feeling and beauty. He treated it as a rare bit of fragile china. Following, was the Vulse Oubliee, No. 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last television appearance seemed to be suggestive of a fantastic evenes-like motion.
Plays C-Sharp Minor Prelude
The program over, the pianist left the stage, but the audience felt that something was yet lacking. So, upon the persuasion of frezzed applause, Machmaninoff returned to his instrument and played the beloved Prelude in C-Swing. He kept it simple and firmly, playing it somewhat more slowly than usual. After a final encore, the pianist was permitted to leave, and nearly four thousand persons

Virginia Taylor happily announced to herGamma 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 that Virginia had written and the sensitive 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
