UlON hearing Erik Morini, (he
phenomenal young violinut
who played at th Brandeis
theater before the Tuesday Musical
club audienco last week, on could
not but bt impressed with her tre
niendout urge. Lika practically all
of th world'a greatest, it displayed
itself early, and in her case as in the
cast oi every prodigy th world has
ever known, a near and cIom rela
tive, usually a parent, hat fostered it
and helped it to overcome the ob
stacles of expression from the very
first. But the urge itself is innate.
To feel what to do, and only have to'
be taught how to do it, it to have
great talent, but to feel not only'
what to do. bat rather what one
mutt do, and only have to be taught
how to do it, ii something greater
yet ,
It la aot enough to know it, one
must feel it, and thia feeling it a
tort of extra tente. It must be
coupled with knowledge, and it will,
and nothing can stop itt affinity for
it. The majority of people have a
larger or smaller urge of tome tort.
If thia it ottered in their infancy,
and early youth, it will undoubtedly
take them tome where, and by itt
very motion gather impetus unto it
self. If it it discouraged, or ig-
. nored and other interests can lead
ut from it, it will either lie dormant
for many years, and only come out
long afterward when it is difficult to
overcome itt obstacles of expres
sion, or it will die.
One sayt it is to hard to learn,
for "art is long and time is fleeting,"
and one it beset on all hides with
technical and mental difficulties, and
besides there is the pull of other
things which would take one away
from it These are merely the ob
stacles which test one's musical urge.
One may study for years, or only
for a thort time, he will only get
from it according to what he feels
for it, and in proportion to the urge
there is behind it. And another
word for urge might be vision.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger
wrote of the debut of Galli Curci as
a Metropolitan opera star, in the
leading role of "Lucia" in that city
last week. Six inches were devoted
to the musical part of the perform
ance and about one to the star. Fol
lowing it almost two columns about
"First opera night ushers in bril
liant social season," with the fol
lowing subtitles: "The Moods of the
Mode," "A Profusion of Capes,"
"Box-Holders Entertain," (with the
people named was a description of
the gowns worn), "Opera Supper
Dance Popular," "Mrs. Fell Has
Novel Gown," (three inches to Mrs.
Fell and her dressmaker), "French
Gown Worn By Mrs. Gillmore and
Some Other Hosts."
And thus it is done in Philadel
phia. "
Vincent D'Indy, the distinguished
French composer, is visiting America.
Writing of his recent appearance as
conductor with the New York Sym
phony, orchestra, Richard Aldrich of
the New York Times says in part: ,
It was just about 16 years since
M. d'Indy had. stood in the same
Slace conducting a concert of the
oston Symphony orchestra.
These years have increased the
composer's fame and authority as
one of the leading musicians of the
; time. - They have also left their
traces upon him personally, as they
have upon most others. He is, as
he was before, , a distinguished
figure; and before the orchestra a
man of perfect simplicity and mod
esty, wholly without preoccupation
, with himself, and induced with dif
ficulty to take for himself the ap
plause of the. public.
M. d'lndy's fame is not that of a
conductor chiefly, though he has
shown an abundance of skill and
routine and sympathetic insight in
that capacity He gave the im
pression of a musician directing the
playing of musicians, who could
not fall of a common understand
ing; and did not."
A distinguished guest, such as M.
d'Indy, is expected to bring his
hosts that in which he has the
greatest interest, and for which he
most, conspicuously stands. . He
comes avowedly as a representative
of French music, as well as one
of its most significant composers.
He finds this public more open
minded toward modern French
music, more appreciative of it,
than when he was here beforea
necessary result of greater familiar
ity and understanding. In 16 years
much is changed in the attitude of
the musical public... -'The clear un
derstanding of what M. d'Indy
himself stands for and signifies
was rinmistakably shown at the
beginning. Mr.; Damrosch came
on the stage and got the orchestra
,tip for a fanfare, which was
played as M. d'Indy came upon
the stage; and the audience rose
to receive him, 'applauding long
and loud. .'
. '-The joint recital of Nina Koshetz
of the Chicago Opera company, anil
Bronislaw Huberman, violinist, will
take place at 3:30 p. m. at the Bran
deis theater. Miss Koshetz, who
replaces Irene Pavloska on the pro
gram this afternoon, is a native of
Moscow. At the age of 9 she gave
a piano recital and at 11 became a
pupil in the Moscow conservatory,
where she studied with Safonoff and
. Igoumeneff. At 18 she studied sing.
iug with Masetti and composition
with Janeeff, teacher ot Kachman
iiiofT. Later she went to Paris to.be
coached by Felia Litvin. . She' made
her debut in Moscow, where she
sang an extensive Russian, Italian
and French repertory, and was a
guest artist at the Imperial opera in
Petrograd. After the bolshevik up
heaval she managed to escape from
Russ a and came to America, where
she has been heard in concert in
many cities. She is now a member
of the Chicago Opera company.
Mr. Huberman toured America
when .he was 14 years cf age, as a
boy prodigy, and he was acclaimed
heartily upon his tour. As an artist,
Huberman has attached himself to
no particular school, bnt worked out
hit own salvation. He says: "Learn
from the past, enjoy the present,
work for the future." His artistic
views of life philosophy he has given
to the public in btolt, "From the
Workshop of a Virtuoso," published
several years ago. Before the wortd
today, Bronislaw Huberman is said
to stand at one of our greatest mas
ters. His is a career of brilliant
achievement and hit second coming

A harp program was given in the
DeLone harp studio on Saturday
afternoon by the advanced class,
who were called on individually to
play the six different movements of
Oberthur's . "Meditation," relating
an original story, such as each va
ried movement suggested. Miss
DeLone aims to impress on her stu
dents the necessity of cheating an
atmosphere to develop artistic in
terpretation and individuality.
Karl Tunberg mailed to us re
cently an attractive booklet entitled
the "Fundamental Principles of
. . . , mu
Piano-forte Technic." The fingering
or scales is pointed out Dy mr. iun
berg as one of the most important
of these fundamental prinoiples, and
he classifies the scales and their
fingering accordingly. Fingering of
chords and arpeggios are also con
sidered and the manner of practice
of chords in order to overcome their
difficulties is discussed. A few ex
ercises for chord proficiency are in
cluded, which Mr. Tunberg ascribes
to his teacher, Dr. Franz Kullak,
who in turn ascribes them to his
father, Dr. Theodor Kullak. Mr.
Tunberg is planning a piano recital
in the near future.
Among the numbers played by
Miss Adelyn "Wood and Miss Doro

Man With Broken Neck
Lives Without Brace
Fairmont, V. Va.. Dec. 17. When
Joseph Miowsky, 54, of Howesville
was brought to the Fairmont state
hospital with a broken neck it was
supposed that he would die within
a short time. But Miowsky not only
escaped death, but is now walking
around the same-as anybody, with
out even a brace to support his head.
The man's remarkable cure was
effected through a delicate surgical
operation, which turned out entirely
successful. For weeks his head and
neck were encased in a plaster cast
When he left the hospital he walked
away without assistance and wore
no brace or other contrivance. Miow
tky received the injury when caught
beneath a fall of slate while working
in a cqal mine.

RONISLAW HUBERMAN", the cele
brated violinist, whom we are to
have the pleasure of hearing at the
Brandels theater this afternoon rn joint
recital with Irene Pavloska, has a mem
ory so keen that It is almost uncanny.
There Is no feat, no matter how difficult
that this wizard cannot accomplish and
his repertoire is practically inexhausti
ble. Once, at a Dresden concert, Mr.
Huberman played by popular vote, three
concertos out of a given list of twelve.
The vote was cast by ballot, the ballots
being dropped Into a box as the audience
paaaed Into the auditorium.

In dramatic construction and the entity

the critics were unamlnous about the de

To Think Rightly
Makes Happiness, ;
Sa8 Fay Bainter
"As you think, so you will be,"
says Fay Bainter, of "East Is West,"
which comes to the Brandeis tomor
row night
"The woman who thinks right will
live right and work right, and she
will be happier and more beautiful
with each succeeding year, for age
cannot wither her. Charm is in the
mind." Miss Bainter continued.
"The first cue to right thinking
is directness. Don't waste time and
energy thinking about nothing. Aim
less thinking will grow on you and
unfit you for serious, earnest think
ing. Make your mind systematic,
and before yon know it, you will re
ject useless thoughts and useful onet
will rush into the vacancy."
"Be ready for fresh ideas as they
come. .Think for yourself. Be neith
er too ready to accept other per
son's ideas unqualifiedly nor steel
yourself against them; but don't let
others ' think for you.
"Clear your mind of rubbish. How
can you expect to work clearly and
concisely if the mind is clutted op
with such junk as the impression left
by sickly novels, petty worries and
exasperations, and so on? Above alt,
think beautiful thoughts.' Live in an
atmosphere of beauty and put your-,
self in harmony with it , It is all, a j
matter of cultivation." I

THE most Interesting motion pictures
ever made of an international sport
ing event are the Fred C. Cjuimby
pictures of the Dempsey-Carpentler glove
contest for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world, which will be exhibited
at the Brandels theater for the entire
week starting next Sunday, December
25. They show both men at work and
at play, display them in - many moods,
and under varying conditions and then,
armed thus with all preliminary know
ledge, the spectator Is led into the great
arena, and becomes for the space of a
crowded half hour part of the vast crowd
of over 90.000 persons who packed Boyle's
Thirty Acres to overflowing. But those
who see this contsef through the medium
of the motion pictures . have the great
advantage of any of the crowd who were
present on July S, in that, even from the
$50 seats, the combat could be viewed
only from one angle, while by the aid of
the 20 cameras placed strategically about
the arena, the spectator of thia remark
able entertainment sees it all.

Helen Keller a
Triumph of Soul ,
Over Adversity
Mastery of the human voice, aU
though she cannot remember ever
having heard a sound, it not the only
big accomplishment to he credited
to Miss Helen Keller, blind, deaf
and formerly dumb, who is appear
ing at the Orpheum theater this
week. She hat discovered happi
ness. She radiatet joy and appar
ently enjoyt life far more than many
more fortunate persons. She hat
developed assurance.
There is nothing of the usual dif
fidence of a blind person in the grasp
of her hand. Learning that she ts
to meet tome one, she puts forth her
hand naturally and confidently-, while
her countenance lights up just as
though the can see and hear. There
is a charm and warmth in her pres
ence. Miss Keller is tall, rather
handsome and gracious. She has
large, blue eyes, which have the de
ceptive appearance of being unusual
ly strong and clear. She it a vigor
ous, healthy looking woman and,
above all, is terenely happy.
Her ability to read the statements
of her companion and lifelong friend,
Mrs, Anne sulhvan Macy, given her
in the palm of her hand through the
manual, seems remarkable. Her re
plies invariably are made with her
lips, and for the most part her articu
lation is excellent. It has required
almost a lifetime for her to learn to
talk and she seems to enjoy express
ing herself in this way.
Miss Keller seemed a bit excited
yesterday when she was interviewed
after her matinee at the Orpheum,
but it was the excitement that comes
to everyone of the stage after his or
her act has been rousingly applauded
and the artist is confident of having
pleased them. (
In reply to a question, her com
panion said that she is enjoying the
sensation of being on the stage. Ap
plause, which she recognized through
the vibrations under her feet, is pleas
ing to her. . Her tour is like a strange
new life to which she has just been
introduced.
Miss Keller has a keen sense of
humor and appreciates the surprise
felt by those, seeing her for the first
time. She realizes that strangers, al
though they have read a great deal
about her, cannot but picture her as
a sorrowful, diffident person Instead
she presents the exact opposite of
such a picture.

Nebraska Girl Wins
Fame as Singer
Miss Jane Betts.
The Musical Courier a short time
ago printed a picture and interesting
article about Jane Beats, contralto,
formerly" of Oniah, and a pupil of
Thomas James Kelly, both in- Omaha
and for several seasons in Cincin
nati. Miss Beats' gave a recital in
Cincinnati and of her a Cincinnati
critic said: "Jane Beats has nothing
to put over, her singing is just real,
pure, beautiful singing. The Cour
ier article continues in part: "Miss
Peats, whose home is in Nebraska,
has graduated from the Cincinnati
conservatory in voice ' culture and
has been doing postgraduate work;
her voice is a mezzo contralto of
great range, vibrant and warm
throughout, and full of nuances, tints
and shades. She is a genuine student
and has been much in demand in
exclusive musical circles."
Among the list of Miss Beats'
activities were noted an afternoon
musical at the home of Mrs. Larz
Anderson, soloist, at a Cincinnati
conservatory orchestra concert, with
Chevalier Pier A. Tirindelli conduct
ing and soloist at other afternoon
musicalcs at interesting events. Chev
alier J. lnndelli gave a delightful eve
ning of his own compositions and
chose Miss Beats to give some of
his best songs.
