18 POLISH ORCHESTRA INCOLORFUL DEBUT Peasant Players’ First Ap- pearance Pleases Audience at Poli’s Theater. With gay peacock feathers in their jaunty red caps and tapping time With their tall black boots as they played Slavic rhythms, a unique or- ganization, the Polish Peasant Sym- phony Orchestra, made its debut in Washington under the leadership of Stanislaw Namyslowski, at Poll's Theater yesterday afternoon. In their long white coats lined with scarlet that cut vivid slashes into the ensemble, these forty-odd men were a picturesque sight. When consider- ing the fact that it was not half a century ago that they were organized into an orchestra by the father of their present leader, the achievements of the present group seem remark- able. Their efforts should not, of course, be compared with the leading American symphony orchestras that Washington music lovers are accus- tomed to hear. The orchestra mem- bers made up in vim of execution and clean-cut attacks what they lack- ed in uncertainty of tempo, small vol- ume, and sometimes in accuracy of notes Anthem. ere “The Star a od with novel Polish embroiderings, and the Polish ir. This was followed by arrangement of Chopin’s onaise in A Major.” All were Polish. reason Paderewski, the most famous of living Polish musi- cians, was not represented. There were undoubtedly many of the num- that had strong appeal and in- t for the Polish natives who seemed to form a large part of the audience. To others there was some monotony in the program. Features were the overture to Moniuszko's “Fairy Tale" and a musical tableaux group en- titled “The Wedding,” by Powiadom- ski, both full of dominant character- istics of the Slavic music and given with plaintiveness in the mood under- lying even the gayest notes. Noskowski's arrangement of “Echoes and Souvenirs of Polish National Songs.” Zelenski's overture, “In_the Tartar Mountains,” and “As You Like It,” by Namyslowski, were other un- usual numbers. _The four Polish dances, three mafurkas by the or- chestra leader, in which he led his men with his own violin, and an oberek from Lewandowski's ballet, “Pan Twardowskl,"” were among the brightest, most enjoyable: numbers.

SOLDIERS CRITICIZE FRANCE’S PET COACH Doughboys Find Famous Car Lack- ing in Quality as Means of Travel Accommodations. America’s doughboys will nevrr be- come reconciled to the type of rail- road car made famous in France, the “8 chevaux, 40 homes” type of car. The American soldier s not satis- fled except with the best accommoda- tions ho can obtain under the particu- lar circumstances of travel, Maj. Gen. W. H. Hart, Quartermaster General, U. S. A, told a conference of rail- road and business executives with War Department officials yesterday. Unlike the soldiers of other natlons, the fighting man of the United States will never adcept any accommodation if better can be provided, Gen. Hart sald, and it is the duty of the trans- portation executives in charge of troop movements to see that fighting men are given the best possible ac- commodations. FORMER SULTAN GRIEVES AT KURDISH BLOODSHED Holds Trouble Is Natural Outcome of Outraged Religious Feel- ings of People. By the Associated Press, SAN REMO, Italy March 3 —Moham. med VI, former Sultan of Turkey, who is 1iving here, in an interview concerning the events in Kurdistan expressed himself as being grieved over the fact that blood had been shed there. “The abnormal state of affairs in Kurdistan,” said Mohammed, could not have done otherwise than bring about ptresent bad situation.

THE MANOR PARK CITIZENS HIT MEMORIAL’S TAX A RO Levy for Lincoln Bridge Is Named Specifically—Want Better Car Service. Assessment of taxes against District residents for any part of the cost of construction and maintenance of the Lincoln Memorial Bridge or of any memorials erected on Government- owned land was protested by the Manor Park Citizens’ Assoclation at a meeting -at 6210 Third street last night.

It was sald that Manor Park has outgrown the transportation facilities provided and steps should be taken. to provide a double-track system with six-minute service when the lease on the present line expires, two years hence.
