Newspaper Page Text2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford. Oregon, Monday, April 13, 1959 Violin-Piano Duo Heard In Civic Music Concert B7 Richard D. Werner The Rabinoffs, Benno and Sylvia, a violin and piano duo, were heard Saturday evening at the Medford High schoor auditorium ir the fourth Civic Music concert of the current season. It was a return en gagement, and they were well received by a fair-sized au dience. Opening the program with Tartini's "Sonata in G Min or," known as the "Devil's Trill," Rabinoff displayed a grasp of the classical style and demonstrated beyond doubt a most proficient tech nical equipment. The many trills, some of them double, came off quite well. The tre mendous responsiveness of tone of his violin, a Guarner ius, proved a valuable ally. This was most noticeable in the first movement. In contrast, the sonata by Brahms pointed up a prime difference between the old masters and the ones who came after. Whereas Tartini, Corelli, Vivaldi, Veracini, et al, wrote violin sonatas with accompaniment, done today on the piano, they were all TIRED OF BEING TIRED?

In the Brahms sonata there never was any doubt which instrument was "it" the piano. The violin went along for the ride, and was drowned out most of the time. This is true of Mozart, Hadyn, and Beethoven. A noteable ex ception is Grieg with three works, and Cesar Franck with one. Instead of playing the Men delssohn concerto, Rabinoff chose a Bulgarian rhapsody by a Bulgarian composer named Pancho Wladigeeroff. This again proved his techni cal mastery. The music was just another display piece. After intermission Mrs. Rabinoff played an impromp tu by Schubert, "Fireworks" by Debussy and her own fan tasy on the Sequidilla from "Carmen" by Bizet. They were all brilliant numbers very ex pertly executed. She also dis played quite a bit of fire and warmth of feeling. A very lovely and talented lady. Returning to the stage for the final group, Mr. Rabinoff played Smetana's "From my Homeland" a fantasy with much technical display, and "Five Tune Cartoons" by Rob ert Russell Bennett - clever pieces but one would have to be "up" on the comic strips to get much from them, and "Non Piu Mesta" by Paganini on a theme by Rossini. This last was another fantasy of technical dimensions.' For an encore he played a brilliant piece by Popper. After the "Devil's Trill" it was quite evident that Rabin off could play the violin with technical mastery, but it seemed to us with the addi tion of all the others, he was insisting on it. Which brings to mind the story of the fam ous Chinese ambassador to this country during Theodore Roosevelt's second term. A senator invited the Oriental to join him at the race track in Maryland and His Excel lency declined .saying, "No thank you - long has been es tablished one horse can run faster than another." It is fitting and proper that an artist should display his wares and perhaps dazzle an audience, but the ones who are remembered are the ones who reached out to the people and played on their heart strings. Maud Powell, zimbal ist, Elman, Seidel and Kreis ler did it- as did great singers like Caruso, McCormick and Schumann-Heink. Perhaps the current techni cians can't sing. We didn't hear anyone hum ming or whistling as we left. furniture w ml'-" ' " " WED Japan Crown Prince Akihito and his bride com moner Michiko Snoda, pose for photographers following their wedding ceremony in Tokyo. The Princess wears sash of "First Order of Sacred Crown " Court St. Mary Instituted In Ceremonies on Sunday Court St. Mary No. 1800, Catholic Daughters of America, was instituted Sunday afternoon in ceremonies held at Car penter's hall, with a charter class of 86 members being initiated.

Carl Mai will be chaplain for the new organization. Father Speaks Speaking to more than 160 members, their husbands and guests at a charter banquet in the evening at Ping's Garden, Father Murnane suggested to the new candidates that their primary purpose in becoming Catholic Daughters should be to follow in the footsteps of the many great women of Catholic action. They should be active, he said, in the lay apostolate of love for all peo ple, bringing a better meas ure of Christ's love to their neighbors, laboring for the welfare of the people for whom Christ suffered and died, for the poor, the dis tressed and the suffering. The group was greeted by Gordon E. Boner, grand knight of Rogue River council Knights of Columbus, who promised the cooperation" of the men in their mutual ef forts for God, church and country. Mrs. E. E. Ford, toastmis- tress for the banquet, read a letter of congratulations from Mayor John Snider and intro duced the members of the newly formed court. Miss Conroy, accompanied by Miss Mary Robinson, en tertained with vocal selec tions. Prior to the afternoon re ception ceremonies, the char ter class candidates and guest members of CDA attended the 8:30 a.m. mass in Sacred Heart church and received Holy Communion as a group. Music for this mass was sung by the Marian choir of St. Mary's High school. Court St. Mary is the 27th CDA court to be established in the state of Oregon; in the national organization it is No. 1800 and will join more than 209,000 Catholic women in a program that is religious, edu cational, charitable, patriotic, civic, recreational and social.

Convenient Parking No Meters ine grooming in a new book, "Wife Dressing" (Messner), subtitled, "The Art of Being a Weil-Dressed Wife." No. 1 on Mrs. Fogarty's list of gripes is plastic raincoats that come in bags. Inhuman Feeling "They make me feel inhu man, like a head of lettuce inside a vegetable bag, wait ing to be stashed away in the refrigerator," she said. "Mod ern coat fabrics are made to withstand moisture if you're caught in a sudden drizzle. And while I'm on the subject, those plastic covers for men's hats also unnerve me. Men's hats are a covering in the first place. If you're a dungaree devo tee, beware. "By definition and price, they cannot be ex quisitely tailored. Leave them to the youngsters," said Mrs. Fogarty. The petite designer also loathes pin curls at work or shopping. "How can there be any pride in being a woman if your head is covered with tiny bumps that are only ac centuated by a bandanna ban dage?" she asked. "If you need a half hour away from your duties to unpin pins and comb out curls, you haven't arrived ready for work. As for shopping, it's impossible to judge a new dress ispm the neck down when from the neck up, the reflection in the mirror is from out er space." Other Gripes Imitation flowers also rate as a pet peeve. "The old cliche of a little nosegay of forlorn forget-me-nots on an Easter suit sends me into a scurry," she said. Stockingless legs in the city when "whale belly white" are disastrous, she believes. If tanned, there still are areas of white or mottled color around ankles, heels and backs of calves. If your tan is too deep for nylons, rub on a thin layer of oil to pre vent dryness, then blend in the barest coating of make-up as you would foundation. Her other gripes: -Dirty white gloves. "Stifle the impulse to put away a pair you've worn because they "don't look too dirty." -Colored wigs. "They re mind me of Mme. Toussaud's Wax museum." -Underwear straps that show. "Unless you're Gypsy Rose Lee and want to prove you're wearing several layers of clothes, avoid this groom ing flaw by sewing snaps in the shoulders of dresses.'
