American Pianist Concludes First Musical Series New York Artist Reveals Technical Brilliance WE APPROVE Of open doors to Loyola's bas ketball games in our backyard, and dancing. Score: Loyola 58 St. Thomas 36. By Agnes Griffin Concluding the Mundelein Musical Series, inaugurated this year with the appearance of the Roth Siring QuarU-l and the Vienna Choir Boys, Frank Sher idan, distinguished American pianist and pedagogue, presented a comprehensive program of piano music on Feb. 19. Mr. Sheridan's selections ranged from Beethoven to Scriabin and to all of them he brought the fascinating, calculated per fection of technique which is at once the most arresting aspect of his playing. One is always aware of, though never dis tracted by, the easy brilliance of bis per formance. An almost mathematical precisencss of phrasing was evident, especially in the C major Rondo and the Sonata in E Hat major, opus 8, of Beethoven. There was however no lack of warmth and expres sive power in the Chopin Nocturne in C minor and Valse in A flat major which followed. This pianist combines an usual facility and strength of finger action with a conservative restraint and complete lack of bravura virtuosity which mark him as a true musician's musician. The remarkable reserve strength which Mr. Sheridan employed in the monumental Brahm's Variations on a Theme of Paga- nini raised this gigantic work for the pianoforte to the climactic position il occupied on the program. Ravel's Jean d'eau. Debussy's La Ca thedral engloiitie, the Pick-Mangiagalli Dansc d'Olaf, and two Scriabin etudes, the E major and the D sharp minor, formed the final group. To this reviewer at least, it was in the Russian composer's etudes that Mr. Sheridan expressed him self most eloquently and with the great est depth of emotional appeal. Plays Moonlight Sonata Tomorrow Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata will b gt; the opening number on the Monthly Mu- sicalc which the music department will present at 2 p. in., tomorrow, in the con cert ball on seven. Rita McLean will play the Adagio Movement from the Moonlight Sonata and the Fourth Mazurka, by Goddard. . Mary Ruth Venn and Mary Ellen Bric- tenbach will play a two-piano number, Humorcsque Negre, by Grunn, and two vocal numbers, Halm's Were My Song With Wings Provided, sung by Maude Schuflitowski, and La Forge's Song of ihe Open, by Betty Lou Depper, will conclude the program. Accompanists will be Dorothy Schreck and Miss Perry. Skyscrapings By LaVonne Hayes Students from Ireland, Germany, Join Class '42 Friday the thirteenth may be a bad day to begin life in a new country, but Mary Pauline Kinsella, Mundelein's Irish fresh man, who arrived in this country on Jan. 13, reports that America is in no way disappointing. Miss Kinsella, a native of County Car- low in southern Ireland, lives with Chi cago relatives and is taking a liberal arts course. Her worst difficulty, she confesses, is refraining from reciting in Gaelic, the ancient Irish language which is spoken in the schools of Ireland. Class assignments in Ireland's schools are also written in Gaelic, she revealed, in response to the movement for revival of old Irish culture and tradition. Miss Kinsella has had more than adequate preparation for her college career, since the school system in her native land requires a six-year high school preparatory course. Emphasis is placed on mathematics and lang uages, while home study assigments are longer and more difficult than they are in most American high schools. Miss Kinsella contrasts life in an Irish boarding school with its counter part in an urban college, and finds the latter more stimulating, but with more distractions. She is fascinated with the Chicago skyline, having missed a glimpse of New York's profile because of a heavy snowstorm on the day she landed. Four years ago Ruth Madcr was a schoolgirl in Munich, Germany. Today she is a freshman at Mundelein, having been graduated with honors from Senn high school last month. Miss Mader is taking a general course, and, as a side line, expects to continue the journalism which merited for her the editorship of Senn's annual. Writing for yearbooks and school news papers is not her only hobby, however. Swimming is one of her favorite forms of recreation and even this early in the semester Miss Mader has put the col lege pool to test and found it altogether satisfying. Added to Mundelein's international group will be a Chinese student, now a sophomore at the University of Shanghai, who expects to register here next year.
