March 19, at, 3:30 o clock in the Keriilworthi ass.enbly hall. It will be David's second public reci tal, his first being given at, the age of ii when, he played for a capacity audience.-During the past year David, bas been studying composition under Prof essor Lams .atý Northvestern university School of Music. He is also a ptupil of Dorothy Pound of Wiiw.ette. His prograni for, Sunday is as follows: 1, Inventions-F ninor Bt E major 'c F majorBah 2. Scenes from Childhood ..

'It . becordes incrcasingly noticeable witb each, con- cert in the Series that the north shore wants muisi o matte fiht the state, of the material world. The program .itseIf waà interesting. in its *contrasts. After satisfYing our palates with the old and well-lovect Mendelssohn concerto, Mr. Zimbalist played a., Suite Bizarre' by, Achron. Wheither we liked it or not,ý this suite could lot, fail to interest anyone really anxious. to ,ut.iderstand what is being written today., The third, group in- cluding selections -both brilliant, dra- m1atic, and tender brought the recital to a close. As an artist and a-musician. Mr. Zimbalist satisfies me completely. His. lack of artistic idiosyncrasies, bis per- fection oQf techniue, his rQundec anid brilliant tarie ail combine ta make bis recital of the highest quality. There is sometbing in the playing of this artist which ruakes bim very buman and understandable. His simplicity of mariner perhaps, but 1 tbink the secretý lies more neariy in the quality'of his tone and the absence of any banibastic display of startlïng' technique. One is never in doubt of the artist's complete mastery of his instrument. but neither, is one nnduly consciaus af the difficul-. ties, overcome.
