VISITOR FROM AFAR COUNTESS An accomplished woman and traveler whose hom ayflower Hotel, while in the Capital, and she is being en- countess is at the M tertained by society folk. leader, gave its annual concert in the vaucus room of the House of Repre- sentatives Office Building last night before a capacity audience and also was broadcast by WCAP. Represent- l ative Woodrum from Virginia was the HARRIS & EW/NG- LAR! e is in Czechosloval The MUSIC HAROLD SAMUEL'S PROGRAM. Harold Samuel, the English planist, who has become especially noted for his splendid interpretation of the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, gave a program entirely written by that great composer in the little chamber music auditorium of the Library of Congress vesterday afternoon. Little notice had been given of t con cert, whic I who could obtain cards, 3 1 was com- pletely filled and many W away. The enthusius; dlence was thoroughly the concert progressed. Although as Mr. Samuel remarked following the performance, “Bach has been dead ned 200 years now, sure- ly people rhould not be afraid of his works and should be able to under- stand them. If he were a modern writer there would be some excuse for the attitude in which so many ap- proach the works of Bach with fear and incomprehension, but everybody should be able to understand him and his works by now!" There is no doubting Mr. Samuel's understanding of Bach. He gets the very soul of the dramatic, vivid qual ity that underlies all the intricacics of toccata, preludes, fugues und dance suites. The great Johann Sebastian surely would have been pleased could he have sat there, a listener, vesterday, and heard the clean-cut announcing of fugues, the delicate pianissimo of o Uiree ana minuet melodles and the gay swinging rhythms of the gigues played with sureness and enthusiasm by Mr. Samuel. He is as a maker of musical mosaics who swiftly and carefully takes each colorful bit of the many-sided and subtly tinted ma- terlal and fits it with exact, perfect aim Into the picture he makes so artistically. The opening number, “Toccata in C Minor,” quickly established the planist's position as an accurate in- terpreter with an individuality of touch and marvelous technique. In the “English Suite in A Minor” the sarabande seemed particularly beau- tiful in the refined shadings of tone. The suite also includes a prelude, al- lemande, courante, Les agremens de la meme, two bourrees and a gigue. The third group consisted of five preludes and fugues from that much quoted masterpiece of musical litera- evidence as ture, “The Well Tempered Clavichord.” Mr. Samuel played the D major and A flat major from the first book and the B 12 flat major and G major from the sccond book. The B flat prelude and fugue from the first book was the encore, which seemed the most fascinating of all The final group was the “French Sufte in E Ma, another delightful exquisitely played, feeming to bring out every possible shade of musical that the composer could have c ved. The final encore was a terse bit, one part of the “Two-Part Inventions.” A most import, phase of this concert_was that {t made the best in music free to all who could be ac- commodated In the auditorium and that it was under Government super- vision, Herbert Putnam, librarfan, and Carl Engel, chief of the music di- vision of fho Library of Congress, g in charge of the affair. Also, Mrs. Frederick 8. Coolidge should be thunked, fo it is her real philan- thropic vision that made the founda- tion for this and other fine programs possible. M. P, U. S.

Th: lestral arrongements were made ‘arl Schmohl of New York. Mr. Woodrum’s two most popular num- bers were “Carry Me Back to Old Virginny” and a reading with song bits in it, of Paul L.
