Batablished 1874 KIND TO THE EYES The Full Line of but also exactly the shading of tone in each department of the orchestra that he wished to bring out. Mr. Reiner's dominant characteristic is an almost military precision in attitude and control. His archestra, instead of seeming like one huge organ, a the effect of a musical army definite lines between its platoons and divisions, each ready— “on tap,” as it were—to drill or go into blazing action at the slightest beckoning from the leader. The en tire program was delightfully inter- preted. The opening overturs from Weber's “Oberon” was given the light fantasy coloring which brings out its delicate melodies best. The “‘Fourth Sym phony” of Beethoven was played without pause and in a fashion which completely held the audience. The heautiful ‘adiago movement was played with the staccato buoyancy of piquant ballet dancing, and vet with rich depths of musical feeling. There were times in t ment when the string choirs gave the effect of clashing cymbals, when the bass viols in thelr hoarse whisperings of theme were contri with the shrill roulades of fife, bassoons and the other wind instruments. There was a theme that brought to mind the “Halls of the Mountain King” in Grieg's “Peer Gynt.” All in all, it was a marvelous work marvelously played. The novelty to Washington in the program was Debussy's exquisite and very programmatic suite of symphonic sketches, “La Mer.” This is fascinat. ing music and Mr. Reiner brought out all the characteristics suggested of the sea in its varied moods and of the wind with remarkable descriptive powers in the orchestra. His reading of this work s not quite so poetic and closely knit as Mr. Toscanini’s reading, heard last Winter in New York with the Philharmonic Orches. tra. Mr. Reiner rather emphasized the powerful rhythms and sugges- tion of undertow currents and un- plumbed depths with his presenta- tion. As Mr. Giiman says in his pro- gram notes: “La Mer {8 to be classed among those of Debussy's works which sprang from his imagination at a time when it was fertile and_dis- tinguished, when his command of beautiful ' speech was easy and triumphant, when his art was most nearly flawless—one of that small but incomparable group of orchestral tone- poems in which Débussy said new and enchanting things in an unforgetable way." The last number, the “Dance of the Apprentices and Finale,” from Wag- ner's “Dle Meistersinger,” was also brilliantly played and with authority. final move- CONCERT AT ARMSTRONG HIGH. The second of a series of concerts sponsored by the Community Center Department of the Public Schools was given last night in the New Arm- strong Technical High School audi- torium. The artists presented were the Trouveres Trio, one of Phila- delphia’s leading negro organizations, and Alva Draine-Olds, talented singer, also of Philadelphia. The program offered by the trio, composed of Randolph Smith, pianist- director: Raymond L. Smith, violinist, and Albert Berry, cellist, was very well rendered, a particularly notable feature being the work done by Ran- dolph Smith. Numbers deserving spe- clal mention were Beethoven's “An- ' from Opus 3: Mendelssohn’s * Opus 49, and Bridge's “Phan- ."
