Homebound Horowitz

Pianist Vladimir Horowitz arrived in Manhattan from Chicago last week, gave a final recital which elicited the customary superlatives, hurried off to Camden, N. J., where he was scheduled to make phonograph records, then sail back to Europe. In this manner the 25-year-old Russian ended what was probably a record-breaking tour of 77 concerts in 22 weeks, and a succes equalled by few recent newcomers. Before returning for a fourth U. S. tour* next January he will take a long vacation, not on the Riviera as has been his habit, but "somewhere in the mountains." Mountains are his current enthusiasm. In Denver not long ago he asked immediately on arrival for altitude figures. Pleased on hearing it was so high (one mile above the sea) he said: "Here I shall play the best concert of my life."

*Pianist Horowitz made his U. S. debut in January 1928, played 36 concerts that season, 46 concerts last.
