a WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1924 GABRILOWITSCH AWES HEARERS Famed Pianist Shows Self Complete Master The MacDowell club again scored a decided success in its Artist-Recital series last Tuesday evening. The first event of the series, the Homer recital, which occurred a few weeks ago, at- tracted a large audience; and again last Tuesday evening the concert hall was filled with men, women, and chil- dren who listened with rapt attention to the playing of Ossip Gabrilowitsch. He is one of the world's greatest ex- ponents of the pianistic art, probably one of the three or four greatest. It is only when one is thoroughly aware of the fact that Gabrilowitsch 1s not only a great pianist but also second to none as orchestra conductor and at the same time a man of unusu- al culture in the liberal arts; it is only then that the hearer realizes the pri- vilege he is enjoying in listening to such a recital. In his playing of the first phrase of Handel's "Harmonious Blacksmith" this noteworthy pianist revealed his pre- eminent technical skill and poetic ap- preciation. The second number, an Al- legro by Scarlatti, came to the audi- ence brilliantly pure and clear. really great member of the first group was Beethoven's "Sonata Appasiona- ta." In the presentation of this com- position Gabrilowitsch sounded the depths and scaled the heights of piano playing. For an encore he gave a charming rendition of an equally charming gavotte. His second cluster of compositions was from the pen of Chopin. These pieces were a Prelude, an Etude, and a Ballade, all rendered with masterly precision, purity of tone, and under- standing of the composer's intention. Not satisfied with these three numbers the audience demanded still more, and was given a Chopin waltz. The third and last group was made up of Debussy's "Clair de Lune," Moskowski's "En Automne," and a final number written by the pianist himself. The Debussy composition was extremely delicate and mysteri- ously suggestive of moonlight. The audience was well pleased with the closing piece. For an encore Gabrilo- witsch played another Chopin waltz. It was an evening of unique value, and the gratitude of the various com. munities partaking of the privilege is owing to the Mac Dowell club and to Ossip Gabrilwitsch. Foster, the Piano Tuner, Injured in Auto Crash Leigh Wilson Foster of Winnetka, well known to hundreds of north shore householders as the "piano tuner," is recovering at the Evanston hospital from injuries received Tuesday evening, No- vember 4, when he collided with an automobile at Kenilworth while propel- ling his bicycle through that village. Mr. Foster sustained a compound leg fracture and severe bruises. The ma- chine was driven by William Nelson McClintock of Kenilworth. Mr. Foster is improving satisfactorily under the care of Dr. William R. Parkes of Evanston and Dr. Helen Evans Rob- ertson of Winnetka. Mr. Foster has served north shore householders as a piano tuner for many years and has been a familiar figure on the streets with the trusty bicycle hé employed in all his journeys from village to village. The Marionettes Will Bring Circus to North Shore The circus is coming to town. A regular three-ring circus with roaring lions, tighi-rope walkers, acrobats and a band. Th.s marvelous performance is to be shown in the Jane Kuppen- heimer Memorial hall of Skokie school, Winnetka, on Wednesday afternoon, November 19, at 4 o'clock. "Uncle Wiggily at the Circus," is the name of this novel attraction and the performance will be given by the Marionette Players. Uncle Wiggily. an enterprising bunny-man, has long been a favorite with the children, and his various adventures, so amusingly related by Howard H. Garis, have en- deared him to both young and old. All of the performers in the circus will be Marionette animals, with Uncle Wiggily as the central figure. There will be a big circus parade showing the largest Marionette ele- phant in captivity; the roaring lion; the celebrated bunny brass band; bare-back riders; a Punch and Judy show; tight rope walkers together with wonderful side shows and caged wild animals to capture attention. The Marionette Players will give "Robin Hood" on Wednesday evening, November 19, at 8 o'clock. In "Robin Hood" the puppet lives in his quaintest glory. There will be Jolly Friar Tuck. Loyal Little John, Resourceful Will Scarlet, the Conceited Sheriff of Not- tinghamshire, and his Peculiar Fat Wife and others of that distinguished band.
