Wadsworth, sr., of Newi l MUSIC SIGNOR TOSCANINI CONDUCTS. The magic name, Arturo Toscanini, than whom there is no greater living conductor, packed the National Theater to standing-room limitation yesterday afternoon when that genius appeared for the first time in Washington in sev- eral seasons and led the New York Phil- harmonic Orchestra, in a particularly interesting program. In moderns and classics alike Signor Toscanini brought new and beautiful meanings to music which he conducted in his usual fashion, entirely from mem- ory with no score before him. Prompt- 1y to the minute of 4:39 p. the ma- estro appeared and his orchestra was launched into the delightful, program- Baruffe Chiozzote,” al mirror for clever It is masterly music and Signor Tos- canini gives it masterly interpretation. Arthur Honneger, 8 member of that almost forgotten “Groupe de Six,” was represented by two selections. ‘Pa torale d’Ete” was a light, plece of descriptive writing that, cording to the program notes, A suggested by impressions gathered from nature in Switzerland during the com- poser’s vacation trip in 1920." The other Honneger work, “Pacific, is a musical immortalization of the “Iron Horse.” A few seasons ago Dr. Walter Damrosch and the New York Sym- phony presented this work. Signor Tos- caninl’s locomotive seemed wild, with a suggestion of great mechanical power that might at a moment be uncontrol- led and cayse spectacular tragedy, vet every so often the sense of control in slowing tempos xas obvious. It was a twentieth century cragon with great clouds of smoke irom its nostrils, blaz- ing red window-eyes and terrific powers. The audience listened keenly and awarded the orchestra’s efforts with extremely absorbing in their sketohing of personalitics. Especially interesting seemed the “Nimrod” and “Romanza” variations. As a whole, the concert was con- sistently thrilling and ovations closed it. The only annoyance was that caused by the great number of late-comers who straggled into seats. A traffic jam outside the theater had been the chief cause. Some people in the balcony who were evidently engaged in a warm dispute over seats, regardless that the orchestra was playing, were plainly heard all over the house. Signor Toscanini will make his only D. C., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1928 other appearance here this season with the same ' orchestra March 6. Those who heard him yesterday look forward | ¥ to that date with keen anticipation. H. F. . Ordered to Nicaragua. First Lieut. Frederick W.
