i ideas of Beethoven, and felt that the master was there himself pouring out his soul to the few there that understood. If Beethoven were alive, such interpretation of his music as that given by Madame Ney, would in no small measure make up to him for' the tremendous amount of misunderstanding that he suffered during his life, The program consisted of the minor Sonata, Opus 57 (Appassionata), the Sharp minor Sonata, Opus 27 (Moonlight), the minor Sonata, Opus 111, the last of the piano Sonatas, the Andante Favori, and Six Variations, Opus 34. Madame Ney is such a great musical personality that one realizes he is going to hear an artist as soon as she enters upon the stage. Under her treatment the Sonatas, especially the Opus 111, ceased to be Sonatas, and became Symphonies for the piano. After her interpretation of the Opus 111, one begins to realize how difficult it must be to give such a perfect performance, and how difficult it must have been for Beethoven write the manuscript for this work, as he was totally deaf at the time.

There was nothing lacking to the artist in technique, tonal coloring, phrasing, and dynamics. Her playing was not that of a virtuoso, nor of a scholar, but something far greater and which comes from putting aside all ideas of personal glory, and working alone for the glorification of the music which is being played. Backstage we found Madame Ney just as impressive and real as before her audience, with a temperament which gives out nothing but real love to her admirers. She was kind enough to extend her program by playing the Deutchetanz, the Eccosaise, one movement of the Pathique, and an Italian Sonsr. P.

J. IAJESTIC THEATRE, BROOKLYN While Brooklyn plays host to a lot of new theatrical productions during each season, it seldom welcomes a pre-Broadway attraction of the size and importance of "Singin' the the Aarons Freedley musical comedy-drama which arrives at the Majestic Theatre on Monday evening, April 13th, for an engagement of one week. "Singin' the Blues" is the first offering that the celebrated producing firm has brought to this borough ahead of its Manhattan showing, and the opening is expected to afford one of the most brilliant of local first nights.

In this scene alone fully a hundred people are employed, with a floor show as one of the many features.

Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields have written a number of excellent musical numbers for "Singin' the and Denny Healy has done an expert job in staging them.

O. ALBEE THEATRE, BROOKLYN "Bad Universal' comedy drama which opens at the RKO Albee Theatre Saturday, April 11th, is a picture which tells the story of an inconstant girl who trifles with the affections of many men, and who finally comes face to face with a bitter disillusionment.

The exceptional cast includes Conrad Nagel, Slim Summerville, Zazu Pitts, Humphrey Bogart, Charles Winninger, David Durand, Emma Dunn and Bert Roach.

HOTEL BOSSERT Brooklyn Montague and Hicks Streets MARKETING MADE EASIEST AND BEST We do not eat potatoes brought in to market in a sack by the farmer who grew them. Our steaks are not cut from the fatted calf on whom the individual owner lavished all his attention. At a time when great farms and cooperative enterprises are recognized as the best methods of production, why should the chain stores be regarded as natural outlets It is reasonable to suppose that markets run With the greatest care for modern methods, such as the seven hundred and five of Bohack's, will bring most satisfaction to the housewife.

Here are to be found, scattered over Brooklyn and Long Island, centers where all the needs of the table may be purchased. Bohack patrons have the benefits of the best service from the home cooking department that is a vital part of the organization. THE FOX THEATRE, BROOKLYN "The Conquering based on "North of a novel by Emerson Hough who authored "The Covered is the feature attraction at the Fox Brooklyn Theatre.

Catalog and Appointments on Application TUESDAY AFTERNOON AT TOWN HALL, one of the most pleasing piano recitals of the season resulted from the combined efforts of two great artists. The efforts were those that Ludwig Van Beethoven left in the form of his Piano Sonatas, and their masterful interpretation by Madame Elly Ney.

The reading of the three Sonatas was so perfect that we forgot we were listening to someone giving her.
