fid a time of retrospection of the
activities of the past year. Sn

whero family ties are particularly
binding and many are the reun

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.
Bridge luncheons have been
the favorite diversion of the week.
Mrs. J. Shelley Saurman was
hostess in her home at a charm
ing luncheon yesterday. Mrs.
Henry Meyers entertained her
club on Thursday and Mrs. E. M.
Law and Mrs. A. M. Dalrymple
have been luncheon and brldcre
hostcFsee during the week. Mrs.
Clifford Parmer was hostess to
her club yesterday.
A number of Salem's leading
ocial clubs, the Merry Go Round,
the Capital Five Hundred, the
Leisure Hour club, the Priscllla
club and a number of others have
met within this week. Mrs. Ercel
W. Kay was hosless at an attract
ive bridge tea early in the week
and Mrs. Paul V. Johnson and
Mrs. Sam Butler entertnined both
on Wednesday and Thursday.
Dr. W. H. 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

Miss Byrd surely arranged an
admirable program a classic,
and one of the most exquisite at
that; a romantic sonata now sel

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

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.
