The Washington Chamber Music Ensemble presented the first of two programs scheduled for this season at the Playhouse last night before an audience that recelved thelr efforts with marked enthuslasm. It was a unique effort in local music circles and one that deserves high commen- dation. The National String Quartet, com- posed of Henri Sokolov, first violin- ist; Max Pugatsky, second violinist; Samuel Feldman, viola player, and Richard Lorleberg, cellist, showed re- markable ability. They blended their tones smoothly in Beethoven's “Quar- tet, Opus 18, No. 5, in A Major.” Per- haps the first violin dominated some- what in some of the passages, but most of the work showed unusually good balance of tone. Particularly Interesting was the third movement, & nte Cantabile,” which led to a brilliant finale in an “allegro” move- ment Skill in Solo Passages. Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, called “dean of American woman composers” was represented by “Themes and Varia- tions, Opus 8§0,” a very programmatic work not unlike Debussy's “After- noon of a Faun" in mood and treat- ment. J. Arcavo, flute player, showed skill in both solo passages and in those played with the string quartet nton Dvorak's “Dumky Trio, Opus 90,” for piand, violin and cello, was | perhaps the most colorful number of the evening. La Salle Spier, recog- nized as a leading pianist of Wash- ington, and organizer of the ensemble, appeared in this number with® Mr. Sokolov and Mr. Lorleberg. As the program notes stated, “Dumky” is a Slavic word, untranslatable into Eng- lish, denoting a variety of “folk- poem” frequently found In Russian lMterature and usually of a melancholy character. There seemed little of melancholy in the rousing chords and prominent rhythms of Dvorak’s work as played by the trlo. It was full of the composer's embroideries on folk melodies that have become fa- miliar to music lovers through their by many other composers as the s of interesting compositions Itogether, the debut program was uccess. Another concert will be en February 25, also at the Play- s Lectures on Russia. Capt. Francls McCullagh, former newspaper correspondent in Russia, will deliver a lecture on bolshevik | persecution of Christlanity at Gon- zaga Hall tomorrow night, under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus Evening School. He arrived here last might from New York, where he has | been delivering a series of lectures on Russian conditions. Items from the bolshevik periodicals Hlustrating the aims and objects of bolshevism will be read by Capt. McCullagh and he will draw a comparison between this country and Russia in interna- tional aspect.

Siddons of the American Trusd and Security Co., chairman of the budget day com- mittee, will lead the committees who will stress the importance of careful spending and saving. “In maintaining a budget,” said Mr. Siddons, “the roots of our éxistence are affected so that the value of such a plan is very far-reaching. It de- velops & habit of serving, and places emphasis on all that ls essential Whenever a plan also helps to elimi- nate waste, we are placing ourselves on a better Hvable basis and relieves us of many financlal worrfes."

Even though these figures show only a slight increase in food costs here, the rise in the price of food in the Capital has been constant and steady throughout 1924, with little apparent indication of a downward trend. For example, food prices at the end of September, 1924, showed an increase of 2.4 over similar prices for the same month a year before, and the same increase over August, 1924, The increase In food prices has been maintained since September in slight- 1y lesser degre; WICKERSHAM LISTED FOR SPEECH HERE George W.
