K I) PRINCE RUI'EIVI Is Masterly In 1 ecluiique l.'nlliiisbbiic Audience fs Impressed With Joe Franky, Promising; Young: I'ianist Prince Hupert was treated to a masterly exhibition of piano technique on Wednesday evening when J. J. Franky gave a recital concert at the- Presbyterian Church before a well-filled auditorium. Mr. Franky's wide acquaintance with the master composers was displayed ir the variety of ! the nurr.oers which made up his repertoire. Opening his program with Handel's "Fantasia in C," the pianist quickly gained the interest or an appreciative audience most of whom had a more than passing acquaintance with piano music. This work, written for the harpsichord, afforded Mr. Franky an opportunity to show his dexterity in the many ascending passages. Fl EXPLAINS THE poser who wrote thU beautiful work. "Valsc," Op. CO, No. 1, of Clw-pin followed. In, this number the young artist exhibited musical understanding of a high order with warm interpretative insight into the meaning of this popular valse. BIGGEST SUCCESS IN CHASE & SANBORN'S HISTORY! The next offering wa Valse," Op. 33. No. 1. the greatest and most brilliant of the 14 Chopin waltzes. The extreme difficulty of this work taxes any artist to the limit but Mr. Franky established n mnC. tery cf the keyboard with his ease of execution of the m.mv difficult skips. In the darker tone and dr- liberately precise style of th" Norwegian dance cf Grcig. "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen. ' me periormer's left hand showed to distinct advantage, sur-gesting that he had, by now, become familiar with the instrument. The "Arkansas Traveller" pro vided Mr. Franky with an opportunity to display his versa unty m his rendition of th; i iie piece ae resistance ot tne i : . . . first half of the program was f 1" Z- I LT fl"lcncan barn- ueetfioven's great "Sonata in C Sharp Minor," popularly known as the "Moonlight." Mr. Franky. in rare Beethoven style, seldom heard In a young artist, presented the first movement, the Adagio, with rich feeling me scconci 'Allegretto was equally satisfying In its delicate rendition. The final' movement, the Presto Agitato, with its many florid passages, the performer took in his stride. The wlmie sonata was admirably rendered and, if a Just criticism ml'Tht be offered, It would ap- i I penr that, in the third move-, meat the left hand was some what light but this appeared to be due to a somewhat slugsish action of the instrument or perhaps thc performer's uufamil-brity with the keyboard rfnec. in Inter numbers, this deficiency w;is decidedly absent. For his third number, Mr. Franky chose at random 12 little dances of Schubert, Delicacy -f touch and ?x.orcslon cf feeling in these musical miniatures chnractcri7cd his. performance. Schubert's "Impromptu," Op. M. No. 4, followed with the young artist's usual delicate t-Mf-h riiown to advantage in the beautiful arpeggio runs, enhanced in the middle section bv (some discreet rubato. The bass (melody might have received a little better definition but the I whole work was played with ar tistic sense and feeling. This number closed the first half of the prograrrf -but an insistent audience brought the pianist bark with a well-rendered "Scherzo"" by Schubert. The second part of the program was opened by Mr. Franky with Chopin's "Valse," Op. 70. No.3. This work, which is so often heard in unsympathetic performances, revealed under his hands the most sensitive tonal shading, expressive of the tender emotions of the coin- Shade For his closing number thr artist chose "Rhaoscdie Hon-gorise No. 6" of Franz Liszt. In this number Mr. Franky realiy let hm?cH so and. with his ria- .zling execution of this virtuoso piece, lie brought his audience up to a tip-toe of expectancy which did not stop with Its closing chords but brought him reluctantly back for two encores "Rustic Dance" by Howell and "Hungarian March" by Kowal-skl. Each nrcarain item h.iu hn dealt with individually as it is felt that a performance of uch high quality deserve? more than a summarized report.. In a brief interview with Mr Franky it was Interesting to learn that the majority of the items on his program were selected especially in the Interests of music students, as many of these coniposltlous are currently in the examination list or are generally being; taught. By playing before them an actual performance of numbers they arc expected to learn but seldom hear played, Mr. Franky rendered thorn a distinct service. Mr. Franky, himself, reflects the training received under the finest Instructors. Although he -had UU!e to gay about hlmsrtr. people well acquainted in cities further south have stated that Mr. Franky has sained a recognition In artistic circles -that foreshadows the probability of a brilliant career as a concert artist. MRS. ISKOWN IS CIIAK.MINC Very charming and able as sisting artistes were the well-known - Mrs. Gilbert Brown. mezzo-soprano, and her equally wcll-kncwn and esteemed ac companist, Miss Frances Moore. Mrs. Brown, in the first hntf nf the program, rendered two number- most delightfully: "I L'-ve Life" by Mama-Zucca and An die Musik" by Schubert. In the second part of the program', in her inimitable manner she sang "Still as the Night" by Bolim and "Think On Me" by Miria Ann Scou. as an encore Mrs. Brown sang "The Lord's fraycr" in a most effective nanncr. After this number she , was presented by the young j ladies with a beautiful bouquet. I Miss Mocre was presented with j a box of chocofatcs. Miss Moore's 1 accompaniments, .as usual, left j noth'ng to be desired. , The Job's Daughters arc to be congratulated upon their handling cf the arrangements and upon, their having had the privilege of introducing to the musical public of Prince Rupert an artist such as Mr. Franky hn this, the first cf what is to be a scries of concerts by him.
