A Great Musical Treat
Emanuel List Concert Draws
Record Audience at Center
Paul Berl, Julius Chafes and Mrs. Abraham Cooper Had
Share in Successful Event; Proceeds Assure Con-
tinued Support for Center School of Music
A record and highly enthusias-
tic and delighted audience at-
tested to the outstanding musical
success in the•history of the Jew-
ish Community Center on Oct. 25,
when Emanuel List, eminent
member of the Metropolitan
Opera Co., was presented in a re-
cital for the second year in suc-
cession.
It was a great evening, and its
success was made possible by
three other people:
Paul Berl, Mr. List's very able
piano accompanist.
Mrs. Abraham Cooper, chair-
man of the Center music commit-
tee which arranged the concert;
and
Julius Chajes, music director of
the Jewish Community Center,
under whose direction the pro-
gram. was arranged.
* * *
Mr. List was magnificent. The
first half of his program, highly
technical, devoted entirely, with
one exception to German Lieder,
gave proof of the brilliance of his
voice, of his ability to interpret
most difficult parts.
The second half of the program
was more popular. He was espe-
cially liked in the Aria from the
Barber of Seville, in Flegier's
"Le Cor" and in the American
and Viennese Folk Songs.
And there was a touch of deep-
rooted sentiment in his interpre-
tation of Chajes' "By the Rivers
of Babylon (137th Psalm)."
His able pianist did much to
enhance the performance.

The Center auditorium was
filled to capacity, and during the
first half of the concert it was
Menuhin's Recital
Here Next Monday
necessary to place more than 50
people on the platform before
seats could be
`provided for
them for the last
half of the reci-
tal. It was an
appreciative au-
dience, a n d its
presence • w a s
due in the main
to the efforts of
Mrs. Cooper.
T h e Center's
Mrs. Cooper music school was
assured added support as a re-
sult of this concert, and those
who know the great effort made
by; Mrs. Cooper to assure the suc-
cess of this undertaking felt a
sense of appreciation for her de-
votion to the community's cul-
tural needs in the field of music.
* * *
Mr. Chajes had an important
share in this recital's success not
only as the director of the Center
music school but also because of
his personal appearance at the
recital. He accompanied Mr. List
for his own composition "By the
Rivers of Babylon," and received
an ovation for this work.
"By the Rivers of Babylon"
was composed by Mr. Chajes two
years ago and was dedicated to
Mrs. Cooper.
The Oct. 25 concert was an in-
troduction to what is expected to
be an important year on the mu-
sic calendar of the Center. The
next concert, on Nov. 21, which
will be free to the public, will
present Lois J. Chapman, so-
prano; Max Weiner, violinist;
Lillian Mu mford and Rebecca
Katzman Frohman, pianists.
