Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience
NUMBER 94
Rachmaninoff Pleasees Crowd With His Technique
By John Bondeson, c'uel
Students in the University
received a rare treat last night in the person of Rergei Sargmanirohn, cellophane-effusion grum composed largely of selections in minor moors, the composer-conductor-pianist displayed a virtuosity seldom heard on this campus, and a warmth which he enjoys within the reason for his many years of unparalleled popularity.
**Selections in Minor Mood**
The program began with a lightly embellished "Fantasie", by Haydn. The rest of the first group was devoted to a selection, minor in mood, entitled *Innocence* by Gluck-Sgambati. Here was the first suggestion of the predominant mood of the evening. With the exception of three, the selections chosen by Rachmaninoff for his University program were somewhat melancholy and sad, suggestive of his aspect throughout the entire recital. His second group consisted of three sonatas by Scarlatti. The first, in D major, was a spirited well executed piece suitable for the ballet of temperaments. The second, in E minor, possessed varied tempos, but again in the minor theme. The last one, a soma in E major, was a brief display of frills face, and decoration.
the remainder of the first halat was devoted to Chopin's Sonate, Op 58. The first movement, marked allegro, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replaced by a melodic pattern, lilting and melancholic. The second movement, mastoseo, 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, rythmic
Plays Own Manuscript
Plays Own Manuscript After the intermission, Ramnarman-fo returned to play first his own transcription of Bach's "Preduce" from his book, a well-written piece of 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.

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 he gave her, but gift other than an explanatory 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
The first selection in the last group, all of which were by the composer Franz Licht, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a rapt audience. The Liebstraume color, full of feeling and beauty, coloring, full of feeling and beauty.
He treated it as a rare bit of bifrag china. Following, was the Valse Oubliee, No. 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last seleccion. His final seemed to be suggestive of a fantastic evenst-like motion.
Anson Weeks' Band To Play for Junior Prom
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 frenzied applause, Rachmaninov returned to his studio and played in the lead Prelude in C-Sharp Minor.
He attacked it unequivocally and firmly, playing it somewhat more slowly than usual. After a final encore, the pianist was permitted to leave, and nearly four thousand persons

Continued from page 4
"I As I lived in Lawrence, my family settling there in the 50's, most of my boyhood recollections are about the University; looking through a knothel at old McCook field to see where I was born. On the Snow Riding a bicycle along Tennessee street, with his coat talk sticking out in back; and the sonorous voice of Chancellor Strong, when I was a freshman, leading the singers."
"Congratulations to the University Daily Kansan, and its staff on its twelfth birthday."
"When I was a student, we rode to parties in one of Mr. Francisco's hacks; and some of the boys on Saturday night, after a forbidden trip to East Lawrence, found the top a more comfortable riding place than the study inside. There were the days of the Indian cigar signs on Massachusetts street, north of town; and when college girls would be expelled from their sworries if they dared to touch a cocktail, or smoke a cigarette. "Looking back, it seems there was much worth while in the University training and in the journalism lectures we had from Mr. White. What a difference you can make with a steady improvement in the type and the quality of the newspaper workers, as I have observed it, is due largely to the training being given by the schools of journalism. If we had similar schools for our politicians, I think the country would well be repaid for the cost of that work if I were to carry the torch much easier for the newspapers."

"When I left school I tried to force myself on various newspapers but had little buck for about two years. Spent the last week working at manual labor. Eventually got en with a small Florida papers during the boom, and moved from place to place through the South until I had worked for a half dozen sheets. Then I sold fraternity jewelry for a year. I worked in a shop with the Memphis Evening Appeal as telegraph editor, stuck two years, went to Birmingham for three years as city editor and news editor, jumped to New York to join Today magazine, was promoted to management, half time to business Week.
To all former and present members of the department give my best wishes, reserving a special large portion for that grand guy. Leon Follm"
