The Philadelphia Symphony Orches- tra, under Leopold .Stokowski, pre- sented a feast of music in its final program of the season’s concerts at the National Theater yesterday after- noon. It was bacchanalian in the sumptuous richness of its composi- |fiona and the brilliance of interpre- tation. The audience, which filled the house to capacity, seemed almost delirious with enthusiasm by the time the last scintillating chords of the dance frol Rimsky-Korsakow's “Snegourotchka” came as a fitting’ finale to the afternoon’s program. Both Mr. Stokowski and Alfredo Ca- sella, the skiliful young planist so- loist, were forced to respond to in- sistent applause. This was, without doubt, the most attractive and unusual orchestral program heard in Washington this season. The program was interna- tional in character, including German, { Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and Rus- sian musiec. Few have the dramatic_appeal lovely overture to “Leonore,” gener- ally known as “Overture No. 3,” which proved a delight as the opening num- ber of the program. More popular, however, was the “concerto in D minor for piano and orchestra” by Mozart, which is ideal in its balance of solo and orchestral | music. The second of the three | movements, “romanze” was beautiful and given with great poetic feeling. The third movement, “rondo,” pr vided a finale that was inspirational in_its power. In both the certo and the piano solo of Albeniz’ Rapsodie Espag- nole,” Mr. Casella showed a true art- ist’s abllity to so blend his work with the orchestra that it seemed a natural unit and not a patchwork ‘of music L two almost antagonistic partici- pan The young Italian pianist's notes were soft, well-rounded and | vibrant—very suggestive of Paderew- Iski's in style and quality. Mr. Cas- ella received additional glory yester- day because of his Interesting ver- sion of Albeniz's rhapsody, written by {him when on the island of Capri last ummer. The greatest movelty was the group of oriental numbers written Henry hheim, American mu- sician who found in the orient a convertible wealth of musical color and charm while traveling there the last few years. Mr. Stokowski pre- sented two compositions exceedingly unlike, illustrating the difference be- tween the music of China and of J The first, the “Chinese was full of crashing di sonance familiar_to the occidental lear as Chinese. But the composition {also Included many weird little mu- | sio_motifs in notes so subtly shaded and oddly emphasized that jarred and _yet were fascinating to the western ear. Nothing could show more clearly the age-old civilization and the inscrutable philosophy of China than this composition by a western musician. include all the everyday sounds that ke up the life of the common people and is particularly interesting when compared with a composition hased upon corresponding themes of London_played here recently by the New York Symphony Orchestra, under Albert Coates. The other very modern and very odd composition” of oriental music was “Japanese Nocturne” a veritable Japanese print in musical form. It had the flatness of a print, yet the of the Furn section. 121§mA7 rominent with the |n of Beethoven's compositions It is supposed to | —you will be charmed with the many novel and distinctive articles in this Second Floor DULIN&MARTINC and 1214 01219 & Street, Hours—8:45 to 5:30 o~ THE delicate, Intriguing color that makes these prints so wonderful. The entire program was so alive with musical charm that T. Arthur Smith, who is responsible for the ap- pearance here of the Quaker City's orchestra, is entitled to a special vote of thanks. Jascha Heifetz at Poli’s Tomorrow. dascha Heifetz, violinist, will be eard the only time this season in Washington at Poli's Theater at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon under the man. agement of Mrs. Wilson-Greene.
