MEDFOKD MA? L TRTEHNTE, MEDFORD. OREGON, THUKSii-w, FAOE TTTREBj E SINCERE ARTIST Br Jeunesse Butler Jom Echanlz, pianist, presented In concert February 1 at the nigh scnooi auditorium by the Southern Oregon Civic Music association: Just why the performance of a fiery young Spaniard of the moat modern school should remind one of a snowflake, and why memories of another concert pianist, a German and world-famous for many years, should drift across one's vision dur ing that performance, may require considerable explanation. That ex planation then, may be found In re calling the clarity, crlspness and crystal-bright purity of Echanlz's technic, the precision of his phras ing, the sanity of his Interpretations and the sincerity and modesty of the man himself. By this time, the read er probably has identified the more seasoned artist one Josef Hoffman. Hoffman was the first departure from the long-accepted type of con cert pianist long of hair, full of mannerisms, evoking an almost hyp notic, certainly silly, hero-worship, stage tricks which the artists them telves may nem nave enjoyed, but which their teachers, managers and the publlo taught them to utilize. Josef Hoffman walked onto the stage, minus the mane, sat down to his in strument and played in a business like manner, wnicn lost none of its distinction and display of mastery thereby. Thus does the Likeable Jose conduct .himself. Vital, dominating (in the better sense), masterly, is the young Latin, with a 'strong sense of rhythm, which Is Indeed the outstanding character istic of his work. One waited In vain for the delicately poetic, the myBtlc, the wistful. It did not come. Even the familiar "Butterfly Etude" of Chopin, given as an encore, gave the audience a determined spring' butterfly, winging sprightly over a bed of marigolds, rather than a lightly hovering creature near mid summer roses. The snowflake de alkn again In the photographs one sometimes sees. Mr. Echanlz gives one release cer tainly, but his listeners float not away on day dreams. Rather, he wakes them up, brings them "up on the toes" and sends them marching blithely along toward better things. Another artist once remarked that ,his audience, not himself, gave the concert, and the writer for one, was proud of last night's audience. It was a real "Medford" audience of the "good old days," utterly quiet, in stantly responsive and heartily appre ciative. And the modest and gener ous Echanlz appeared much pleased, smilingly giving three encores after : the last number on the program, i which was as follows: I Prelude, Fugue and Vartatlon..Franck 1 Toccata in A maJor.....,..Paradles Variations and Fugue on a theme . by Handel Brahms Two Etudes Chopin Polonaise, Opus 53 In A flat... .Chopin Serenade of the Doll ............Debussy March (from 'The Love of Three Oranges") .........

Canfleld said that more snow fell during January than in any January since the park service started keeping complete records. The more It snows, the less enow there Is on the ground, Canfleld said. During the past four daya the .depth has decreased to 141 Inches, and seve ral feet of snow fell. The decrease Is due to the packing, caused by damp, heavy snow. During the en tire month 256 Inches of snow fell, and the depth of snow on the ground was Increased only SI Inches, or from 90 Inches to 141 Inches. v Snow fell on all but seven days of the month of January, and 162 Inches fell In the last 10 days of the month. The depth on the ground was In creased only 39 Inches by the 162- lnch fall since the 20th. Nothing except the peaks of the buildings at government camp re main above the snow, according to pictures brought down by Canfleld, and February is expected to add more snow to the total than January did Thrills In Rialto Air Film Tonight Full of thrills, roaring with action, unbelievably exciting with some of the greatest air camera shots ever made that's "Air Mall," at the Rialto the ater tonight and Friday night.
