Sn lem has always been a place whero family ties are particularly binding and many are the reun ions that are planned for the comlnff week. Beplnninp with the dance con cert by the Portia Mansfield dancers on Monday evening the week which ende today has been brimming with events to lure mu sic lovers and theater goers. May Robson's appearance at the Hel Hg on Wednesday attracted devo tees of the drama not only from Salem hut from Dallas, Independ ence, Silverton and surrounding towns. Thursday evening the con cert by Mrs Elgin Wlttwer Daw hay occupied first place on the cal endar and last night Prof. Paul Petri and Lillian Jeffreys Petri gave what will undoubtedly be considered one of the best con certs of the season, when the Am erican association of university womWi presented them at the First Presbyterian church.

Byrd received re cently from his daughter. Miss Winifred Byrd. one of the most promising pianists in the country today, a program of the concert which she gave in Jordan hall In Boston on the evening of Novem ber 12. Salem friends are inter ested in what Boston music critics have to say of MIee Byrd'e play ing. The Boston Transcript of Fri day, November 1.1, contains a long criticism. Following are ex cerpts from the Transcript story: "Mies Byrd's chief glory as well as her undoing, lies In her play ing in the largo Btyle which she bas apparently Inherited from her teacher, Teresa Carreno. Never has a human being hammered a piano harder than this Venezu alan Amazon and the petite Win ifred Byrd must follow her exam ple. But she does It well. Never through through the long pro gram does she allow tone to coarsen or harden because of It." "Miss Byrd has at her finger tins all the resources of Taried and expressive playing " The Boston Herald of Novem ber 13 hae an equally long and interesting criticism of the recit al. It was In part as follows: Winirred Byrd, pianist, play fed this program last night In Jor dan hall: Haydn, Variations In F Minor; MacDowell, Keltic Sona ta; Scrlabln, Carcsse Dansee Opus 87, Study In thirds from Opus 8. Poems Fantasque Opus 45, Study Opus 65, Study Opus 10, No. 10; Chopin, Study Opus 10, No. 8; Bartok. Children's Pieces; Hanselt. "SI olseau J' tals; MacDowell, Brer Rabbit, Concert Study; Tschalkowsky, Song of Autumn; Tedesco, Alt Wein; Wngner-Hutcheson, Ride of the Valkyries. Miss Byrd surely arranged an admirable program a classic, and one of the most exquisite at that; a romantic sonata now sel dom heard: music by Seriabin, to be In fashion, and if It Is not new In Boston It might Just as well bo. for all any listener who had not studied it could tell ;only a lit tle Chopin, and that not music played every year to shreds; and for short pieces Bartok with cbarming melody for once on Hi a row!cmfwyp shrdlu shrdlu hand Henselt and MacDowell. in a row! Miss Byrd is blessed with Individuality as well as Judgment. MIfs Byrd. If only she would consider rhythm soberly, and would turn her attention to the principles of design, could make of herself In no time a pianist of noteworthy parts, for already last night she showed In her technique an unusual sensitive ness to beauty, and here and there, for instance, in the Bartok piece, she made it clear enough that there is nothing Inherently wrong with her rhythm. Not for a minute was she dull that, af ter all, la the main thing and he has magnetism. Let her con alder her ways a little. Mrs. A. M. Dalrymple was host ess at an attractive luncheon In her home yesterday followed by an afternoon of bridge. -A color motif of red was carried out on the luncheon table with red chrys anthemums, red dahlias and red tapers In crystal holders.

Petri Concert Remarkable Professor Paul Petri, bead of the music department at Oregon Agricultural college, and Lillian Jeffreys Petri, head ot the piano oepartment, presented one of the mpst unusual concerts that haf been given In Salem for a long time when they appeared last night in the First rresbvterian church under the auspices of the American association of universi ty women. Prof. Petri gave a per- les ot Italian and French .love songs, several Schubert sona-s. one the powerful "Erl Koenle." a Strauss song seldom sung In this country, and his closing group live intensely dramatic songs by American authors. Mrs. Petri also gave a nrosra remarkably daring in that it In cluded a number of the most modern" compositions. An art ist is often afraid to present on a concert program so many of tne works of the newer compos ers who dare to give their chortle, not in thirds as has i al ways been done, but in fourthe which at first hearing give an impressions of discordance- composers who dare to omit bars entirely. As her opening number Mrs. Petri chose Schubert's Impromptu wnicn was admirably given. In her understanding ot the theme. the manner In which she present ed the perfectly defined melodv Mrs. Petri again proved herself an artist ot the first rank. It Is a Joy to lose one s self in her nlnv- ing lor me great ease with which she approaches her climaxes in spires confidence. She has both speed and power. Two Chopin numbers formed Mrs. Petri's second Krouo. In her lasc group she gave four modern compositions. Bela Bartok's Bear Dance seemed at first largely dis cord but the rhythm was admir able and Mrs. Petri gave the dif- ncuit thing with comparative ease. Her next number, Wolf's In-! dlan Dance, consisted mostly of ! chords on fourths and her third selection, Palmgren's "Bird Song" nas only two bars-r-one at the bo ginning and the other at the - end and as Mrs. Petri said, sounds like a thousand birds chattering rather than one bird singing. Her last number, Co- well s "Amiable Conversation," was th.j most daring. Through the entire piece alternately the right and left hands played not chords but the palm of the hand was crashed down upon the. keys wnne tne other hnnd carried rapid "melody." The effect was startling but Mrs. Petri scored with It. And after that she immediate ly lost herself in MacDowell's dainty and delightful "To A Wa ter Lily," which she gave as an encore number. Mr. Petri's program last night showed particularly his remark able dramatic power. He has a tenor, clear and strong, which lends Itself admirably to the dra matic. His Italian and French love" songs were delightful but his "Who Is Sylvia" by Schubert. and the famous Erl Koenlg were hotter instruments lor the por .trayal of his power. In his last group Mr. Petri opened with what he termed "a nasty song." His audience admit ted that the words were "nasty," but Mr. Petri's presentation was decidedly opposite. Ganz's A Memory, one of Tom Dohson's best compositions, and Homer's Fiddler ot Dooney were also an interesting departure from the usual concert program and form ed as "ice breakers," for the last number, Loewe's "Edward," the most unspeakable ' of them all both in theme, speed and wlerd nef3 of melody. A lesser artist could not poesibly give these new things. The Petri's have many friends in Salem and their work in Inst night's concert won tor them new admirers.
