The beautiful and picturesque folk- songs of the Czechs, never before heard outside central Europe, will be given by a chorus of thirty-five se- lected volces, under the direction of Dr. Frantisek Bakule, the Czech educator, whose famous school in Prague, 'although only in existence since 1949, has already won interna- tional fame. The children give their concerts at. tired in the splendid Czech national costumes. The concert program of the Bakule chorus is varied by other features, including the remarkable marionette show of little Frantik, one of the school's star pupils. Although born armless, Frantik is a unigue pan- tomimigt and works his whole show with his feet. National String Quartet. There is somethtg about well rendered chamber music that con- notes the fine, chiseled beauty of a cameo and that expresses purity in the abstract. A string quartet which sets itself to serious, high achieve- ment seems to relate itself to the a;;mphonlc music of a great or- chestra. Each has a virtue all its own—similar, yet how different! It would be well if Washington could hear more music such as was presented last night by the Natiomal String Quartet at the Playhouse, 1814 N street northwest. Tgm program consisted of three numbers only- W. A. Mozart's “Quartet in G Major, A Dvorak's “Quartet in F Major and the product of a Washington compoger, Mary Carlisle Howe, for quartet and piano, in two move- ments, andante and scherzo. But the quality of that program was such as to Jift it high. The four players proved themselves, not only each as an artist, but the four a% a union of technique, expression nd spirit. The audfence which rowded the little auditorium was vely lifted on the wings of rd of sweet sound.” This result, however, came from conscien- tious hard work, which has brought the National String Quar to the for#front as interpreter of some of the world's sweetest music. The Mozart quartet, soul-satisfying as a whole, was carried through its four movements in purest tonal qual- ity, running the gamut of feelings, 1ly in the andante cantabile. Howe of this city was tendered a wholesome and generous response for Ler composition and rendition, as pianist with the quartet. Her produc- tion was abounding, brlliant and refreshing, reveling at times ifi ex- tremely close harmony H pecial interest was accorded Dvorak's so-called “American Quar- tet,” written after his visit to this country, and reflecting in rich har- mony and melody the plaintiveness of old negro chants and Indian reveries. With masterly sweep the music moved along, always with depth and color. The lento was rendered with extreme delicacy and feeling. Through- &t there was a message of beauty. R&sponding to an encore the quartet played “Passepied,” by L. Delibes. The quartet is composed of Wa ington musicians, Henry Sokolo first violin: Max Pugats second in: Samuel Feldman, viola and Richard Lorleberg, violoncello, all of whom had previously gained indi- vidual honors.

Suzanna is a beautiful young girl, supposed to be the daughter of a peon, who. for a time, appears to stand in the way of the successful mat*imonial alliance of the holdings of two wealthy dons, who eventually proves to be the daughter of a real don with all that goes with the name.
