liuo Planists lleard llere in Fine Recital

‘One of the finest of the many enjoyable concerts blrouglht here by the Community Concert Assoc- iation was given last night before a. large and very appreciative aud-

ience at the Prince of Wales Col- lege hail. The artiste were Ethel Bartlet/t end Rae Robertson, duo pianists, whose outstanding talent and ability to play in perfect. ac-

cord and sympathy have made them internationally famous. In private life Mr, and Mrs. Robert- son, the recltallsts hail from. the Old Country and were both rising young ‘professional pianists when they married. '

‘Iihelr brilliantly executed pro- gram ranged from original music for two keyboards through the best transcribed works to new scores by leading composers writ- ten specially for them. ~

Lovers of the classics could wish for nothing more satisfying than the superbly rendered opening numbers, which included two sel- ections by J.S. Bach - an arrange- ment of a soprano aria from one of the Cantatas with a beautiful melody suggesting the aound of sheep-bells, and the scintillating Prelude in E Major which forms the introductory movement to Bach's “Partita" for violin; also Handel's ever popular‘ “Harmon- ious Blacksmith", and a Sohertzo h-om Mendelssohrfs incidental music to Shakespeare's “Midsum- lrner Night's Dream."

These numbers were followed by Schumann's "Andante and Varia- tions," representing this compos- er's only work for two pianos, and "Rondo", a posthumously publish- ed work of Chopin written when he was only nineteen. This example of an early and little-known work of the most popular of all piano composers was of special interest to students.

No one who has heard the Rit- ual Fire Dance from De Falla’s ballet "El Amor Brujo" can easily forget it; and last night's per- fcrnlance 0i’ this powerfully rhythmic number was a. tour de force. Even more impressive was the artists’ rendition of another familiar masterpiece of accentuat- ed rhythm, Listzh "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.”

Other numbers in the concluding groups included a Brazilian dance by Dalrius Mllhaud, a selection from a set of piano pieces by the modern Spanish composer Enrique Granados, a clog dance parodying Handel by Percy Gralnger, a noct- urno by Griei and n gay and lightsocne nlxnbelr, "Summer Wind," by Saint-Samba.

Encore numbers included an 18th century Gavotte by Gluck, the Liebestraum by Liszt, a cap- tivating Jamaican rhtlrnba by Ar- thur Benjamin, and - as a glor- ious finale — Bach's “Jeau Joy Of Man's Desiring," which was play- ed very beautifully.

Blue Suit Said Basic llnit 0f Man's Wardrobe

If you are thinking of buytng a new suit, you can't go wrong sel- ecting one in blue, opines a fashion expert. Whether its for business, pleasure, or semi-formal occasion a, mAn is perfectly groomed when attired in a fashionable blue suit. Henderson and CUGIIIOTC, in an attractive window $10187. 10nd emphasis to the claim that the blue suit can he the basic unit of any man's wardrobe, Few suits can be so happily IIIIIM to a var- iety of excellent extras as the dis- play shows.

Styles in men's clothing undergo a constant change bllt blue re- mains the most popular color, and it will probably ‘never loae its top rating. Borne idee. as to the con- tinuing popularity of blue aver all other colors in men's suite may be gained from the almost end- lees procession of patterns, shades and‘ fabrics. .

Henderson and Qucirlorm have a wide sdloctlon of blues in Powder bluey Marine bill. Royal bide, Navy bhze and Midnight blue shades, in single and double breasted pat- terns and lounge models.

I 111g WEEK 3 at S.D. U.

Last Saturday about 7:16 amha confident and high-spirited foot- ball team left St. Dunstanfls for their game at Mt. Allison. Last Saturday about 7:15 p.m.. a weary and dejected football team was on its way home, disappointed and downhearted over the humiliating 11-0 defeai; hung on them by Mt. A. We had that game won a. dvsen different ways before we hit Charlottetown, but it was too late then—we lost it the first time we played it. That's when it counts, 4t seems. I don't know what hap- pened, I guess nobody knows ex- actly. It just seemed the/e when Mt. A. scored that first t-ry, they knocked all the high spirits out of us. We were surprised. Mt. A. scoring on us! We thought that we were going to do all the scoring that day. Apparently Mt, A. hadn“t heard what a good team we had. They didn't seem to care anything about our reputation. Certainly they showed no respect for us. They tackled us hard all day—there always seemed to be three or four garnet and gold sweaters bearing down 0n us when we got the bail. They'd kick and run and keep on top of the bail all the time; then. after a while. they'd score. Simple, isn't it’! I think maybe we'll try itnext; game.

Another thing. Let's not wait till they are on our goal line before we tackle them, eh boys? There were some smashing tackle; mule by the Saints. but, when the pile up was untarlgled, the ball just seemed to be over the line. That's a point in our favour at least, Of the three tlrics that Mt. A. scored. there was wasn't one case where the man scoring got completely across the line. I-le just made it with the bail every time. But, of course, that's all that's necessary, lsn’; it?

They must have thought we were great sports Time and again when they were plowing down the field. our boys would stand there and chew straws and give the bail-carrier encouraging slaps on the back as he went past. Oh. I tell you it was a touching sight at times! If we had been proper gentlemen, we would have invited them out for tea and crumpeta af- tcr the game. Ah well, we don't want. to get hurt do we boys. and they do play so rough!

"Big Willy" MacDonald. captain of the team. kept trying to rally his forces by encouraging the boys and by plunging time and again for ten. fifteen, and twenty yard gains with Mt. A, players draped all over him. "Kiker" McIIaac, af- ter suffel-lng what looked at first to be a severe spine injury, came back to play a whale of a game on the wing. A boy that Mt. A. players spent a lot of time looking at from the ground was "Dim" Callaghan. "Burl" was bowling them over like tenpins. (You got MacLean that time, Bun!) Jimmy “I'm as tough as any goal post." Ayers broke up a lot of Mt. A. half line runs with some timely tackling. -

It's a good job that a few re- membered Bull's immortal words. "Remember. boys, this ain't no tea party."
