LIKELY TO RETAIN LEAD Celtic Favored to Beat Queen's Park Glasgow, October in Scottish football by virtue of a one game advantage over Celtic, the powerful Aberdeen team is not likely relinquish the position result of Saturday's league programme. The Dons play Queen's Park at todrie but in view of Partick Thistle's overwhelming defeat of the amateurs last week, they are confident of victory.

Stage, Screen and Concert PIANIST EXHIBITS TECHNICAL ABILITY Rose Goldblatt Reveals Astonishing Facility in Recital at Ritz-Carlton Rose Goldblatt who has just returned from London where she studied for a number of years as a scholar at the Royal College of Music, was heard in recital last night in the ball room of the RitzCarlton Hotel. The young Canadian pianist revealed an astonishing facility and a technique that was quite amazing. Miss Goldblatt should also be congratulated up ore her programme which was aptly chosen and included music definitely off the beaten track. One liked the order in which it was offered, a group of classical music followed by an interlude consisting of modern pieces in a lighter vein, followed by romantic compositions.

The pianist's execution proved to be practically faultless. She is evidently a prodigious worker. Her playing is clear and precise and she takes no liberties with the music. She has a definite sense of form and approaches in hand in an intelligent manner." So far as expression is concerned, Miss Goldblatt's playing is as yet pretty well limited to black and white, to use a simile in color. No doubt at a later period of her development as a musician, she will allow the spirit of music to quently.

penetrate Perhaps that is why, last to the surface more frenight, Bach's Organ Prelude and Fugue in A minor in Liszt's pianoforte arrangement sounded so much more impressive than Beethoven's Sonata in major, opus 109, in which the tempestuous, volatile missed, although music. performance quality of the was entirely was neatly balanced. It may also have been the reason why one enjoyed Moeran's an engaging trifle, and completely missed the fantasy' wend the pathos of distance which unquestionably should be felt in a performance of Debussy's "L'Isle Joyeuse." On the other hand, Miss Goldblatt's performance of Chopin's Polonaise in flat was altogether brilliant inasmuch as it stressed the strong rhythmic accent of the music wherein lies half its charm. Miss Goldblatt is not essentially a romantic player. Hence John Ireland's charming little "April" failed altogether to register, as also did Schubert's lovable Andantino with Variations.

A capriccio was adequately performed the same composer's beautiful Ballade, opus 10, No. 4, was simply and sincerely played. A new a item introduced by Miss Goldblatt was a "Pastorale on a Hungarian Christmas Carol" by Erno von Dohnanyi. It would stand many repetitions. A caprice by Medtner was added as an encore.
