The second festival given in Wash- ington under the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation in the little audi- torium of the Library of Congress came to a brilliant end in a program of three quartets played by that famous organization, The Flonzaleys, before an audience that stood to the doors last night. More would have listened had there been an inch of room available. It was a program well worth hear- ing. Many in the audience who had come here as distinguished guests from other cities and even other coun- tries, had already had an active day with the excitement of a perfect river trip to the home of the first President of our country at Mount Vernon, a tea in honor of the Pro Arte Quartet of Brussels, Belgium given at the home of Mrs. Franklin Ellis, and a dinner in honor of all the visitors at the Arts Club of Washington. Yet there seemed to be not one person present who did not listen with alert- ness to every note of the program and show definite response at the con- clusion of each number. Because of the fact that the “Quar- $925),” written by Mr. Luc Balmer of Switzerland, had been given no previous performance in this coun- try, interest centered naturally enough in that composition. There were many who obviously did not like it. To the writer it seemed a work well worth repetition and study. The first move- ment, “Tranquillo—Allegro energico,” had indeed the tranquility of a Sun- day afternoon in the dozing period in the country that comes soon after the heavy noonday dinner and lasts until teatime. The energetic notes Invited mem- ories of the discordant symphonies of frogs in the marsh after dark. There is no question but that modern music does suggest pictures, programmatic mental_solutions of its audible puz- zles. In the second movement the story that the second violin related 1 comments by the first violin and viola in response seemed a musical conversation that suggested the so- phisticated, veiled phases of the mod- | ern comedy as presented in terms of Michael Arlen The presto had an impishness in its | of harmony with discords that zht forth elther amusement or from the audience. This com. | position, however little it may have | been liked by many, certainly was ig- nored by none. It was obviously not an easy task to play this composition, but the Flonzal institution that they are and received as they were with a Al welcome, went at the task with vim and a clear-cut limning of their parts that left little doubt but that Mr. Balmer's work was given ex- cellent presentation. | Joyous, rollicking Haydn was hon- ored at the opening of this program The “Quartet in D, opus 76, No. 5," evidently written in the end of the elghteenth century, was beautifully performed. The many-times repeated passages of the first movement were set forth with that nicety of emphasis that 1s one of the fascinations of t quartet's work. The largo, with its | rich, singing quality, was plaved so beautifully that it attained a depth ot feeling that nearly reached the point | of tearfulness in the hearer's reac- tions. The minuet was daintily pre- cise and the galloping rhythm of the finale left the audience in a decidedly cheerful state of expectancy to hear what the modernist, Mr. Balmer, had to sav. The finale of the evening was tact fully and discriminatingly placed in | the more than capable hands of Rob- ert Schumann of the mid-nineteenth | century. The work was his “Quartet in A, opus 41, No. 3." It was given a rarely lovely interpretation. The ! second movement was so beautifully played that one extreme enthustast in the rear of the room shoyted “bravo’ & number of times and bubbled over with a joy that may have had added weight “with relief after the more { their sil THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

PLEASANT BACKS MIDCITY MARKET SITE Citizens' Association Condemns Alleged Preference by Zoning Commission. | i The mideity site for the new market | center was indorsed last night by the | Mount Pleasant Citizens' Association | at a meeting in the Mount Pleasant | Library, following recommendation of | A. J. Driscoll, president of the Mid- | city Citizens' Assoclation, and L. J. Harrison, president of the Suitland Improvement Association. Mr. Hi rison spoke from the farmer. point. Condemnation of the Zoning Com-| mission was voiced by several of the organizations. A report was intro- | duced and passed as a resolution com- plaining against what was declared the practice of the Zoning Commis- | sion of showing preference to specu lative builders rather than residential owners and public interests. A resolution was adopted con-| demning the Zoning Commission for | rezoning certain areas in the Mount | Pleasant district in contradiction to previous zoning regulations. Atten- tion was directed in particular to the triangular plot adjoining Rock Creek Park, which is bounded by Harvard street, Lanier place and Quarry road. This plot, which was designed as a restricted residential “B" section, was | rezoned as a “B' area, which permits | the erection of an apartment. A committee report on streets and alleys was read by J. L. Cox, seeking improvement for the obstructions and sewers on the Seventeenth street hill | entering the park north of Newton | street. A resolution was passed, upon the motion of Judge William H. White, commending the police for speeding | the apprehension of the four men held | for the killing of Policeman Leo! Busch, and praising prosecuting au- thoritles for obtaining prompt indict- ments. | DURING HIS VACATION Alfonso of Spain Constantly Occu- pied With Public Festivals at San Sebastian.

October 9.—Thomas W. Lamont is credited here with hav- | ing held up@he appointment of a suc- | cessor to Finance Minister Alberto J. | Pani. Blair & Co. of New York also |are stated to.have backed up the New York financier's discreet intercession. !~ Pani is under pressure to reconsider his resignation. At Mr. Lamont’s re- | quest he will now stay in office, it is |stated unofficially, until January 1 Has Treasury Surplus. An intesnational bankers’ commit- | tee, of which Mr. Lamont s chairman, |is understood to have suggested that retention of the present finance min- 1 ster was deemed vital for carrying out the foreign debt agreement now in force. It was Senor Pani who ar- ranged with the committee for re- sumption of interest payments. The responsibility of obtaining the | whergfvithal to meet these payments also “fell upon his shoulders. This he has successfully achieved, not- hstanding the difficult econonfic situation which has prevailed in Mex ico for the past year. He has even ac- cumulated a treasury surplus said to total 100,000,000 pe: Although it is generally known that Pani's resig- nation has been offered, official an- nouncement to that effect is still withheld. TLuis Montes de Oca, con- | troller general, was at first slated to succeed him.

In this connection Alberto Mas- carfas, former financial agent for the Mexican government in New York i SALE Chevy Chase Boulevard, just off Wisconsin Chase Club golf course. and London and now managing di- rector of the Bank of Mexico, is men- tioned as the most likely possibility. His opposition to the government's ofl policy is said to be Senor Pani’s reason for seeking retirement to the embassy In Parls. His lack of sym- pathy for the church policy of the government also is stressed. Both of these policies, according to the finadce minister's friends, have oper- ated to reduce government income and Pani believes continuance means financial disaster to the government.

The resolution criticizes “‘propagan< da which, by taking advantage of and exaggerating a few sporadic actions of irresponsible persons against for- eigners in general and not against Americans in particular, is seeking to create an impression in the United States that there is a feeling of ani- mosity against American: The resolution, however, does mnot recommend that the plans to hold the 1927 convention of the Legion in Paris be carried or postponed.
