Connor, president of “Com- mon - I'cople, Inc.” of Springfield, Mass., to “co-operate to increase and promote the only political party that is free from the tentacles of unprin- cipled oil grafters, profiteers and other insidious interests that control unfaithful officials in high places.” The “co-operation” of these senators s be defined by membership in narty of the common people, vhose “{deals are progress| prac- al and ‘pro bono public. ‘The letter added: “We are tired of bunk and whitewash investigations that are made according to 'Hoil.

Oriental Sketches Striking. The striking feature of the after- noon was Mr, Eichheim's group of oriental sketches, conducted by the composer. Washingtonians have beens fortunate in hearing some of these sketches which were presented last spring in the final concert by th Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra with Mr. Stokowski shortly after his return from abroad. They were im- pressive then with that fine organi- zation but the beauty of their pe- r atmosphere was enhanced yes- ¢ when played by a much small- er group.

It piques the ‘curi osity even while one realizes that, as the motes say, “Mr. Eichheim is not an unpractical visionary, an enthusi- ic amateur, nor a man wishing to excite attention by extravagant opin- jons. He played the violin for many ears in the Theodore Thomas Or- hestra and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He is thoroughly ground- ed_in the classics.” The fine musicians who presented Mr. Eichheim's suite included Miss Marie Miller, harpist; Georges Bar- rere, flutist; Pierre Mathieu, oboe: Messrs, Kroll, Harmati, Kraeuter and Wolfinsohn, violinists: Nicholas Mold- viola: Mr. Giorni, planist; Glassman, Borodkin and xylophone and percussion. the Lenox String Quartet will present Francesco Mali- piero’s “Rispettic Strambotti”; Lionel Tertls, famed viola player, and Harold Bauer, noted pianist, will 'play Ernest Bloch’s “Suite for Viola and Piano- forte,” which won the 1919 Berkshire prize, and_the Lenox Quartet, assisted by Hugo Kortschak and Willem Wil- Jeke, wil give Eugene Goossens’ “Phantasy Sexte Corinne Griffith Reported Wed to Walter Morosco By the Associated Press. 1.OS ANGELES, Calif., February 9. —Members of the Hollywood film col- ony are generally inclined to accept as true the report that Corinne Grif- fith, film actress, and Walter Mo- rosco, son of Oli- ver Morosco, wire married about ten days ago in Tia Juana, Mexican border town.
