Amu Philadelphia Orchestra. Vingent d'Indy, distinguished guest .conductor, led the Philadelphia Orches- tra in an unusual program at the New National Theater yesterday afternoon. The prestige of the great French com- ‘poser naturally commands respect. There were many in the audience, Eow- ever, who seemed frankly not to like . the sort of music given them, but who ‘were willing to believe that whatever M. d’Indy did was right. The program ‘brought strikingly to the fore the ques- tion: Does a conductor give a program ' 10 interest his audience or himself? " Under the baton of the composer- conductor, the magnificent orchestra which Leopold Stokowski has brought 10 such perfection that it plays almost as well under any other conductor as ‘himself, gave a program which took in music of the past 300 years. M. d'Indy’s intention, aecording to the pro- gram, was to illustrate that the history of music is a record of continuous evo- Iution. . First came Monteverdi's overture to “Orfeo,” dated 1607, a short, simple, mclodious number. =~ Skipping a cen- M. d'Indy gave De Lalande's usique Pour les Soupers du Roy,” a hacanne gratieuse” of 1712, a beauti- ful conception, admirably given. Bach’s concerto in D major for plano and strings, composed in 1724, proved 10 be a concerto for strings and piano, for the orchestra played much too loud to allow Bruce Simonds, at the plano, to do more than come up for air occa- sionally. Following_the shortest of intermis- sions, M. d'Indy got down to the por- tlon of the program which_ evidently interested him the most, but about which the audience scemed in some doubt. Compositions by three modern French composers, including the guest- conductor, occupied the entire section, a jump of about two centuries having been made in the programmed “history of music.” First came Lo Flem's “Pour les heard for Morts,” composed in 1920, Interest a Year UESTION: How Answer: No lo of your savings. drawn any time.

Flem, is a pupil of the master, was the third number given in the second half of the program. To those who believe, with Stokow- ski, that the depth of beauty in music is reached with Beethoven, the mod- ern French school, as exemplified yes- terday, makes no particularly great appeal. Tone color is lacking and fundamental depth of harmony is not made up for by spasmodic clashés of cymbals, or rapid strokes put in now and then on the xylophone.

Elizabeth Gutman-Percy Such Re- cital. Elizabeth Gutman, soprano, and Percy Such, violoncellist, gave a joint recital at Masonic Auditorium last evening before an enthusiastic audi- ence that voiced its appreciation of the artists with insistent applause after each number. The program opened with two se- lections by Mr. Such, “Adaglo in D Minor, by Locatelli, and “Variations on a Theme,” by Paganinl, composed by the soloist. The latter number was of especial Interest, as it was the first time it had been performed in concert, and there was no accom- paniment.” As with most variations, the composition was primarily an ex- hibition of technique, in which each movement served to display difficult finger work or bowing, but there were many moments of true tonal beauty. and the final variation was particularly appealing, with its re- sonant double-stopped notes simulat- ing a second instrument. Mr. Such later gave his interpretation of a Rachmaninoff “Aria,” followed by a light “Waltz,” by Davidoff. But the most delightful numbers in his repertoire were the “Berceuse,” by Zmolt, and “Perpetuum Mobile.” by Fitzenhagen. The planissimo theme of the cradle song was rendered with such delicacy of touch that it seem- ed to be hushed into a whisper, and yet retalned full sweetness of tone, and the difficult passages of “Per- petuum Mobile” were executed with brilliance and an ease and certainty which were astonishing. Miss Gutman, in an unusual pro- gram, which included Both Russian and Jewish folk songs, as well as French, Italian and American Indian compositions, displayed a voice of rare sweetness and charm that pos- sessed both depth of expression and wer. She sang without effort and fully realized the dramatic possibil- ities of her numbers, carrying her audience with her into the ‘spirit of each. Her enunclation was distinct. d the translation of the Russian and I N I "day Iy N, [ N, I Iu'“\" \| Say *‘Bayer’” when you buy Aspirin.
