CRITICALLY VIEW
School Heads Absence Dur-
ing Session ArousesAssociation
Members of the Citizens NorthwestSuburban Association are much exercis-ed over the absence from the city ofSuperintendent of Public Schools Chancellor Their displeasure took the formof a resolution presented last night attheir regular meeting in Tenleytowncondemning the action of SuperintendentChancellor for making an Inspectiontour of the colored schools of the Southduring the session of the Washingtonschools
The resolution was supplemented bythe suggestion that if Dr Chancellorwould remain at home and con-scientiously discharge his duties to thepublic schools over which he presideshe would commend himself more fav-orably to the fairminded citizens andgl 0 better assurance of his desire todischarge the duties required of hisoilier
Resolutions were also offered favoringthe passage ot a bill which now before Congress for the election of twoRepresentatives from the District andfor the appointment of a committee toappear before the Appropriation Com-mittees of to advocate thepassage of bills providing for nurovemeats asked for in recommendations toCongress and the Commissioners
Washington has heard Rosenthai andhas fallen at his feet The pianist gave-a recital In Washington yesterday aternoon m the National Theater
Rosenthal is1 unquestionably the greatest piano technician in the world Yes-terdays audience was a large one butwas not enthusiastic until the close ofthe program
The flrst number was Beethovensgreat Sonata Opus lOW which wasplayed with great depth The profoundsentiment which he infused into thelast movement left a deep hnprewionIn the Chopin Sonata Opus ft whichfollowed Mr Rosenthal really gotdown to his regulation brllHancs andaroused the musicians to real enthusiasmHis next great feat was the layingof the Chopin waltz In D IUt which inItself is a simple enough little
but played as did itwas a gigantic accomplishment Heplayed at a lightning tempo in thirdsand In the simple melodious second parthe interwove the running flrst p rt Atthe end he transformed the long runInto a chromatic in thirds which waslike streak of lightning
The same brilliant feats were accentplished with his own Humoreske andFugato on Strauss themes when heworked himself into such tempos ardexcitement that he appeared to haveforty hands and two brains at work alltogether and at times played fourthemes at once His own composition
Papillona Butterflies is a gem andplayed as he played it carried out itstitle to the letter
Mr Rosenthals playing has tho additional charm of no mannerisms no af-fections and no apparent effort Hesimply gets down to work puts lilabrains and lingers and his whole attention to the thing before him He hearsnothing and sees nothing but the keysuntil his work is done and done as noone else could do it
