HAVANA TOURNEY GAMES. QUEEN'S PAWN OPENING. UPRIGHT PIANOS The STEINWAY business is done on a broad and beneficent scale. It has led the development of music everywhere, disclosing hidden talent furnishing the greatest medium for its expansion. Furthermore, the STEINWAY has a broader market than any piano, and is found in every hamlet in the globe.

To spread the STEINWAY vogue still further; to place the exquisite and artistic STEINWAY within the easy reach of our artist friends and music students we have set aside1 25 new STEINWAY upright pianos to be sold on easier terms and longer time. 25 NEW STEINWAY UPRIGHT PIANOS on Terms of $50 down and $15 per month We add nothing but the usual interest charge for time accommodation; buyers may save interest, of course, by making larger payments. The crux of this offer is this: smaller monthly payments than usual and longer time to complete payments. This generous offer places the STEINWAY within reach of numerous lovers and admirers of the Steinway Piano.

The en-tetRinmen Is free. MARSHALL WINS TOURNAMENT. HAVANA. March 6. Frank J.

Marshall. United States chess champion, came off with flying colors In the Cuban chess tournament here, being declared the winner after play in the fourteenth and final round ceased this evening. And this despite the fact that the American lost his flnal and only gam of the tournament to Janowskl, of Paris, the French champion, who. being put upon his mettle, played splendid chess and outplayed his adversary In a neat ending. Janowskl opened with the queen's pawn game, which went to fifty moves before Marshall resigned.

Jose Capablanca. who all Cuba hoped would win. had to be content with Becond place, never-less, as he found hi Kupchlk, of New York, a foe worthy of his steel. The latter was the only one who stood tn the way of Capablanca to tie Marshall for flrt place, and a Iofs to the Cuban would have accomplished It. But it was not to be, for Kupchlk.

with the white side of a three knights opening, drew the game after fifty-one moves. Oipa-bianca. eager to score the additional point so much needed, played too Impetuously, and almost overreached himself. Beautiful play on the part of Kupchlk saved the situation more than once when the onlookers felt as- sured that the Cuban would pull through. Janowskl was placed third, but Kupchlk had to share the fourth and fifth prizes with Oscar Chajes.

of Chicago, who played a Sicilian defence against Corzo, the Havana champion, and. after recovering from a bad position, won In forty-one moves. Jaffe, who also had a chance to tie Kupchlk. came to grief with Blanco, of this city, the latter playing the white pieces in a three knights opening and winning after forty-seven moves. JutTe thus was relegated to sixth place.

Just beyond the pale of the prize winners, closely followed by Blanco, who led hla townsman. Corzo, by two points. The prizes will be awarded tomorrow. The final scores: Playeis W. L.1 Players.

Mr.

Godowsky is the most notable pianist touring in America this season; but he does not reauire the absence, of Paiie. rewski and Hofmann and Busoni to take a place in the foremost rank. In technique he is especially admired, yet from his program one gathers the comforting Impression that he does not lay entire stress upon mere dexteritv. His list begins with that Beethoven sonata whose three movements are labelled "Farewell," "Absence," and "The Return" perhaps not one of the first we would choose from the glorious 32, yet one that offers especial opportunity for a demonstration of discriminating taste and interpretive ability. The "Variations on a Paganinl Theme" will exhibit Brahms' wonderful resourcefulness in theme-development a fertility unequalled except In Bach and Beethoven.

The second group will bring a most welcome, unfamiliar note into the concert. After an introductory composition of his own. Mr. Godowsky will play five compositions by those eighteenth century Frenchmen who did so much toward refining the symmetry of musical form and freeing harmonic progress. He probably will use modern arrangements, we hope, that do not impose too much richness upon their pristine transparency.

Jn any case they will demand great poise of style, most delicate shading, and a fine sense of rhythm, while the matter of coloring works written for a very different instrument than- the modern piano is always an Interesting problem. Chopin's third and last sonata, and a firework display, will round out a concert which is especially welcome in a year that has been singularly unproductive of pianists. A Retrospect. We now have to close what doubtless will prove to be the most interesting chapter in the musical history of this season. Within the limits of 20 days, three lieder singers of the loftiest attainment followed each other upon the stage of Carnegie Music Hall.

Thev traveled on, and one of them certainly will not be heard again for-two years, and another probably never will come to Pittsburgh again. But we are left with boundless gratitude to enriched memories and higher ideals in the art they profess. The department which they cultivate Is the most exacting- one of the singer's art and also the one of deepest significance. Much more than a beautiful voice is required for ev-n a moderate success in this line, though that voice be adequately trained. It requires dramatic sense of a very refined order," an intellectual grasp such as is given to few, and a profoundly musical nature possessing power to communicate its emotions to the audience.

Perhaps it is worth while to add that lieder-singing calls for diction which is not only perfectly intelligible, but which also permits the proper formation of musical tone; and certainly it must be put as one of the iirst essentials, that the singer must be wholly subordinate to the song, sacrificing opportunity for sheer vocal display in humble deference to poet and composer. These qualities are desirable in all singing; In recital work they are absolutely necessary. In opera, the dramatic action and the orchestra largely supply deficiencies in tone, style and the subtler nuances of interpretation. In recital, there is but the thin-toned piano to mediate between Ringer and audience. Operatic "stars" unfortunately have set the popular standards of sineinir.

and it is difficult at times to make pluin just where these prima donnas who come with extraordinary but ill-related notes in their voices, with impressive tricks of self-ex- ploitation. and with little or no apparent understanding of the intellectual or emotional content of their songs it is sometimes difficult to explain, within reasonable space, just where and how sadly these singers are lacking. One now needs only mention Julia Cuip or Elena Oer-hardt or Marcella Sembrlch, and the immeasurable contrast will make everything plain. These are probably the greatest lieder-singers to be heard today, and the fortnight or so that brought them to us in such rapid succession gains a pre-eminence in the memory which certainly will not be exceeded soon. Mental comparisons between them are inevitable, but there is no occasion to pit one against another.

The noble example set by all 'th. oHUt.i' HJ .1... conscientious labor brought by each to the masterpieces of song simply cannot be overestimated. GLEXDTXXING KEEBLE. Godowsky With Art Society.

Leopold Godowsky will give the next program for the Art Society next Friday evening in Carnegie Music Hall. Mr. Godowsky not only holds one of the highest musical positions in Europe, but he is considered the final authority in the realm of piano literature, its tradition and Interpretation. He is the only great pianist coming to Pittsburgh this season. His program, which follows, is most unusual in its variety and should be heard by all who are interested in the art of piano playing.

Edmond Clement, the famous French tenor, who will appear with the Damon Choral Club in a benefit concert at Carnegie Music Hall next Thursday evening, is receiving glowing tributes from the leading critics in the 1'nited States and Canada.

His diction is remarkable, his taste unimpeachable. Mr. Clement always respects his art and reveals it." Henry Krehbiel also writes from New York "The New York critics I think are unanimous in the conviction that M.

Clement's singing, especially his diction, is masterly. In this at least he is a model." Another Cadman Recital.

England Has a New Law Difficult to Enforce. LONDON, March 8. A popular pastime nowadays with Continental aviators would seem to be flying trips by night over England. Daring air pilots in Germany or France leave their moorings at dusk, speed over the Channel, and then circle over British titles and forts, flashing their lights to mystify and alarm the people below them. With the first Indications of dawn the adventure eomes to an end.

The prowling birdman heads for home, houses his machine, before ttie sun is well up, ami leaves the officials of England to report his incursion to the war office In London. Reports of these night visits became so general, and were at the same time so disconcerting, that the government finally took official action and passed a bill prohibiting the passage of aircraft over certain specified areas. Aircraft violating tills regulation will be fired on and otherwise warned away. The bill was introduced Into the House of Commons by Col. Seeley.

secretary of war, and it passed through all Its stages at one sitting, without discussion. It went to the Lords the day before recess and passed that House just us hurriedly. How the measure is to be enforced has aroused considerable interested speculation. The bill authorizes the proper officers, after giving a prescribed warning, to fire at any aircraft infringing this law and to use ativ and every other means to prevent infractions. The government is providing "sky guns" to repel these aerial trespassers, and It will also have the services of the naval aeroplanes and hydroplanes and the flying fleet of the army, which consists of about a dozen aeroplanes and three small airships.
