INTERESTINNEEDY - SHONNBY DONORS Many COntributoré to Fund Ask That Families Helped Before Again Get Aid. ‘Many persons contributing to the Christmas opportunity fund of the Associated Charities this year are coupling to their donations a request that the money be used in aiding the same families they helped in pi®vious years, charity workers stated today. This personal interest shovn by con- tributors is believed to be a result of the comparatively simple method of which those giving money to this cause can follow it through to its ultimate destination and see for themselves the happiness it brings to the particular family at Christmas time. The sum of $14,976 asked by lhe] Associated Charities this year will be | used to clleviate the hardships of 17| adults and 65 children. The money | goes to furnish such necessities as food, clothing and fuel. Contributions may be sent to John B. Larner, treasurer, Associated Char- ities, 1022 Eleventh street, or to the cashier of The Star. ‘The status of the fund today follows: Opportunity No. 1. ‘When her husband died of pneumonia five years ago, this widow started to ‘work to support her two little girls and frail mother, herself a widow.

CHARMING CONGERT GREETEDBY THRONG Distinguished Audience En- tertained with Pan-Amer- ican Program. A distinguished group of delegates to the Pan-American Conference on Con- clliation and Arbitration, diplomats and others prominent in social circles in the National Capital attended the bril- liant musical program given last night at the Pan-American Union Building. All the compositions presented were written by composers of North, Central or South American nationality. ‘The grand finale was, quite appro- priate, a “Salute to the Flags” with a well arranged combination of the na- tional airs of all 21 nations accom- panied by the raising of each nation’s flag in turn, while the audience stood. Boy Scouts unfurled the flags. The ar- rangement of this music ‘was made by Warrant Officer Theodore Bingert. This concluding ceremony followed a short speech by Dr. Leo S. Rowe, director of the Pan-American Union, who had received the guests as they arrived. Dr. Rowe gave special credit for the compiling of this program and all the involved detail it included, to Franklin Adams, counselor, who is an authority on Latin-American music and musici- ans.

Ennlo Bolognini, Argentine cellist, is a wizard. He possesses ability tojachieve every tone color, from that of a violin- like quality to the deepest bass note on the violoncello. His command of technique seemed, at times, to make a string ensemble out of the one instru- ment and his pizzicato work was fas- cinating. He played two numbers, both his own compositions. The first was a fantasy giving unique Latin flavor to a medley of favorite North American airs, including many by that master of folk songs of the South, Stephen Foster. Senor Bolognini also played “Remem- brances of Argentina,” which featured his own nation’s melodies, and, as en- core, the Chilean folk song, “Ay, Ay, Ay Shows Co-operative Efficiency. The United Service Orchestra, al- ternately led by Capt. Stannard of the United States Army Band and Lieut. Benter of the United States Navy Band, is showing at each performance more co-operative efficiency in the playing of the Latin compositions. Effectively bar- baric were the selections from the two suftes by Justin Eli of Haitl, which opened the program and followed Senor, Bolognini’s first selection. Both suites were led by Lieut. Benter, who later presented the beautiful tone poem “Promethee,” by Leopoldo Miguez of Brazil. ~This latter composition really is too long to be placed on so varied a program. Capt. Stannard led the orchestra in a charming Mayan minuet, from Guatemala, as arranged by Mrs. Bingert. There seems little in this music of the Indian type, yet it makes an atfractive short number. The pounding barbaric rhythms of the “Yaqui Dance,” written y_Alberto Alvarado of Mexico, was an- other short and interesting number with the alluring waltz, “Three O'Clock in the Morning,” based updn the melodious chimes of the bells of Buenos Aires. Argentina, as an extra selection. The tropical suite, “A Central American Fiesta,” by M. de Adalid y Gamero of Honduras, which has been heard here previously this year, followed, and the final = orchestral number was the “Salute to the Flag.” H P, CLUB TO START TOUR.
