In spite of the rain, there was a capacity house. The coming of Damrosch and his instru mentalists, together with a desire to hear a really wonderful person age at the piano, impelled the thou sand or more people who heard the concert to brave the weather. And those who sat through the charming offerings of the mas ter musician and his players and who were thrilled by the magnifi cent piaying of Miss Brard were more than amply repaid for any dis comfort they suffered in making the trip" to the auditorium. Not bnly were there music lovers from Harrisburg, but from cities and towns within a radius of 50 miles. A concert given under the almost magic wand of the incomparable Damrosch isn't a frequent occur rence even in the capital city of Pennsylvania. Therefore, when it was known that he would be here with his players the music devotee of Central Pennsylvania, as well as from Harrisburg, laid aside all else to drink in the feast of tone and rhythm and color that had been of fered. The hall was gay with Hal lowe'en decorations and hundreds of lights filled the auditorium with the brightness of day. Opens Witli Overture The program opened with the "Le Rei d'Ys" (The King of Is) over ture, written by Edouard Lalo and played for the, first time on May 7, 1888, at the Opera Comique in Paris. Those familiar with the opera recall that the overture was written in ad vance of the opera and prior to 1876. The overture played by the Dam rosch society was the revised version of the number and which had its initial rendition in 1886. Perhaps the outstanding feature of the over ture was the expressive clarinet solo of the melody said to have been de rived from one of the numbers sung by "Mylio" in the opera. The mas tery of Damrosch was seen as the /instrumentalists gathered strength and followed the baton of their leader with an accuracy that was almost wizardous into the climax over into the body proper of the overture. The violonicello solo of the melody taken from one of Roz zen's numbers in the opera held the audience almost spellbound as the soulful strains thrilled and well nigh enthralled them. The over ture concluded with a rousing theme founded on the knight Mylio's war song, and at the end the audience broke into vigorous and prolonged applause. The playing of the Beethoven "Symphony No. 2 in D" likewise brought the audience almost to Its feet. Full of vigor and humor, de suite the growing deafness of the great composer when he wrote It. the composition proved the resource fulness and genius of the master. In the scherzo (in D major) char acteristics of the later Beethoven were evident, the softly undulating passage perhaps telling of the vary ing moods, depression, sorrow, hope and misgiving of the writer. There was no diminution of Interest throughout any of the four move ments, the madn theme always being carefully and artistically sung by the instruments. Child Pianiste Applauded The appearance of Miss Brard brought forth an outburst of ap plause even before she sat down to the piano. Saint Saens* Second Con certo in G Minor, written for piano and orchestra, was the number chosen for the Harrisburg concert. There was none of the awkwardness of the girl in her early 'teens ap parent in the performer's demeanor and she was exceedingly good to LET "DANDERINE" SAVE YOUR HAIR Get Rid of Every Bit of That Ugly Dandruff and Stop Falling Hair To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every particle of dandruff, get a small bottle of "Dan derine" at any drug or toilet coun ter for a few cents, pour a little in your hand and rub well into the scalp.

Indeed, it was quite ns i delightful to look at her as it was to hear her wonderful work at the piano. While in her seventeenth year little Miss Brard looked scarce ly 14 as she made her way to the front of the stage and naively looked into the face of Damrosch and nodded and smiled at the hundred players grouped about her. Throughout her playing one never had the feeling that it was necessary to make allowance for her youth. Rather, one was carried away with the vigor of her touch when vigor was needed and with the delicacy of her technique when intuitively she responded to the demand of the score, which wasn't before her, of course, but which always she had in her mind's eye. While she ap proached the instrument with rever ence. once there and conscious of her power, she played wutli the fearless ness and zest that belong so natu rally to youth. In the three move ments of the concerts she was equal to every demand and at the con clusion she was obliged to appear three times in acknowledgment of the applause that followed her bril liant work. If she felt quite at home in the Saint-Saens number it was perhaps because of her feeling of kinship with her great country man. She is French herself. Plays Countryman's Music Why, then, should she not the bet ter enter into the spirit of a French man's composition Her technical agility, as well as her emotional zeal, was extraordinary, far beyond her years. There were times when she was the child, shy and doubting, but it was not when the call of the score called for her utmost concentration, but while the reeds and strings and brass sang their preludes and inter ludes as the case might be. Her playing was all that her musical crit ics had said it would be, artistic throughout, in spite of hfer youth. It had been the privilege of Cen tral High School girls to hear her the afternoon previous for a little while, the child artiste yielding to the wish of the school girls to hear her simply, as she told them, because they were girls like herself. Not a few of these were in the audience. The playing of the Handel "Lftrgo" was one of the best numbers of the afternoon. Without it many of those who have become accustomed to as sociate the name of Damrosch with the writers of serenatas, idyls, ora torios, etc., would have been disap pointed. The "Largo" was given only as a Damrosch orchestra could give it. Following came Mozart's "Les Petit Riens," then the two numbers, "Pizzicati" and "Cortege de Bacchus" from Delibes's "Syl viia," all of them given with the same artistic interpretation and poise that marked the previous numbers. Delay Demotion of American Officers at Peace Conference By Associated Press. Paris, Nov. 3. By special ar rangement the American officers at tached to the Peace Conference have been granted exemption from the general demotion order effective Oc tober 31 and will retain their war time rank until they complete their special duties. This will save many brigadier gen erals from devertlng to colonels, and colonels and majors from de scending to captaincies, and even lieutenancies, which would have re sulted in considerable embarrass ment because of their relations with officers of other nations. Brigadier General Harry H. Band holtz, who is in Budapest as a mem ber of the Inter-Allied Military Com mission which is attempting to bring Rumania into line with the armistice provisions, is a notable example of the loss of prestige American officers would have suf fered in their special duties if the demotion order had been rigidly en forced in Europe. Declares Penfield Was Anti-German After War Began By Associated Press• Berlin, Nov. 3.—That Frederick Courtland Penfield, former Amer ican ambassador to Austria-Hun gary. was violently anti-German af ter the outbreak of the World War in 19X4, was common knowledge in Vienna, according to a statement made by Prince Rothe Von Wedel, Gorman ambassador in the Austrian capital at the commencement of the war. Knowledge of the American am bassador's anti-German sentiments, says Von Wedel, became known be cause of the ambassador's candor. Mr. Penfield is reported by Von We del constantly to have said: "We have nothing against Aus tria-Hungary, but Germany must be crushed."
