CONCERT PROGRAM Works of Five American Woman Composers Present- ed at Red Cross Building. Five American woman composers provided the works that made up an: interesting . concert program ‘presented under the auspices of the League of American Pen Women, as a feature of their week of meetings in Washington, at the auditorium of the American Red Cross Building last night. The event was attended by many musiclans of the National Capital. Dorothy De Muth ‘Watson of Washington arranged the event, This afternoon at the Congressional Country Club a second group of these woman composers will represented in a program at 5 o'clock. This program, however, will' be quite different from last night's in that ‘where the first was made up .of chamber music, this sec- ond program will be ‘of songs. “Four Sengs of Afr.” A feature of this coming program will be the group of “Four Songs of the Air,” writtenr Pearl Adams, a dis- tinguished composed of New York City. ‘The lyrics were written by the Brms{l aviatrix, Lady Mary -Heath. Carolyn Manning, Washington contralto, will sing these songs. Marianne. . Genet of Pitisburgh, a visitor to Washington, will' have some of her songs on the program and Mary Lindsay-Oliver, also of New York, will be present to hear some of her songs The singers who will interpret these songs are Elvina Neal Rowe, so- prano, and Arthur Talbutt, baritone. Prize Winner’s Adagio Given. Much interest centered last night in the first two selections as presented on the chamber music program, for the first one was the winner of the prize in the 1929 contest conducted .by.the com- posers’ division of the League of Amer- ican Pen Women, and the second was winner of honorable mention. Both composers were from California. The prize winner, Josephine Crew Avlwin of Oakland, . privided . a~ “Adagio,” written for string quarte’ which seemed to “be conservativels modern with dissonant tendencies, but & strong strain of colorful melody. The honorable mention: award was bestowed upon a lyrical “Romance,” written by Francisco Vallejo of San Francisco, Calif., for violin. Henri Sokolov, a leading Washington violinist, played this number with Mary Howe, Washington composer and pianist, at the piano. Ethel Glen Heir's new string quartet, “A Carolina Christmas Week,” was first played here, earlier in the scason by the National String Quartet before the Friday Morning Music Club, was given again and if anything the last two movements semed richer than on previous hearing and much more lilting in their syncopated treatment of melodious material. Mary Howe's Composition Heard. Mary Howe’s “Suite for String Quar. tet and Piano,” also first heard on the same occasion that marked Miss Heir work's debut here, likewise showed a degree of musical content that became even more appreciated on .a& second hearing. All three string quartet mumbers were played by one of Washington's finest musical groups—the National String Quartet compcsed of Henr} Sokoloy, first violin; Max Rosenstein, second violin; Samuel Feldman, viola, and Richard Lorleberg, violoncello. ‘The only piano solos of the evening were a group played by Miss Lindsay- Oliver of New York.
