" 28 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. €. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 11, 1929. FADING TRADITIONS | SEEN AS MENACE Congregationalist Moderator Warns Against Loss of Ideals of Old. Declaring the United States a Nation| founded by godly men, Dr. Fred B.| Smith of New York, moderator of the National Council of the Congregational | Churches, said last night that the loss of moral and spiritual traditions is the greatest danger which faces the coun-| try at present. Dr, Smith, who by the merger of the Congregational and Christian de- nominations this Fall became co-mod- | erator of the general council of the| two churches, addressed a dinner of the | Congregaticnal Club at the Mount Pleasant church. Points fo Pioneers. “Somebody.” he asserted, “ought to| put a sign high up in the sky where; all Americans could read it: ‘Beware Jest you forget your moral and spiritual traditions. All we need do at this point is to let memory do her perfect work and bring back to us the story of the early development of our country. It is the story of the struggle of earn- est men and women to find a place somewhere where they could worship God in their own way. Just study the incidents of those early colonists from the bleak shores of New England down to the peaceful waters on the coast of Florida and 1t tells the story of men who prayed, who read the Bible, who believed in God, who went to church. “If I double back on my tracks, I would find the final solution of every MUSIC PHILADELPHIA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. Leopold Stokowski has been recognized as a maker of unusual programs. He again proved his right to this title yes- terday afternoon when he led the Phil- adelphians in his second program here this season. This is scheduled as Mr. Stokowski's last personal appearance in Washington with * his orchestra, this vear, the two remaining concerts to be led by Ossip Gabrilowitsch. As usual, Mr. Stokowski led entirely from memory and with a suavity that completely characteristic. He chose old German works for the first half of his program and Dvorak's much dis- cussed “Symphony in E Minor, No. 5" for the last half. Each work performed was given a beautiful reading. The large audience present showed keen en- thusiasm and applauded lustily. The Philadelphia Symphony Orches- tra never has sounded better. Constitu- tion Hall seems to have excellent acous- tics. The entire orchestra organization, always admirable, was in top form. The strings gave perfect delight with the polsed lightness of their playing of the famliar “Musette” from Gluck's “Ar- mide.” The basses gave forth mellow organ tones for the transcribed “Pre- lude in B Minor” of Bach. The wood winds, particularly the flutes, showed to special advantage both in the Gluck suite and the Dvorak symphony. The English horn came into its own proudly in the beautiful “Largo” of the sym- phony. It is interesting to find that an au- thority such as Krehbiel, who was a firm personal friend of Dvorak’s, states definitely: “According to Dr. Dvorak's own state- ment to this writer, the ‘Largo’ is a musical publication of a mood which came over him when he was reading the story of Hiawatha's wooing. He was fond of Longfellow's poem, and even thought of it for an opera subject.” ‘With the well known vocal arrange: ment of the “Largo,” called oin” | ingly eloqu: | the Dvorak “Largo” stood out, the rich- Home,” one is inclined to get a very different emotion as the essential mean- ing of this music. However, whatever interpretation each listener may per- sonally prefer, this “Largo” certainly is_excellent and truly inspired music. Americans and others may well be glad that this Bohemian composer wrote it while living in this country. The entire symphony was given such beau- tiful reading yesterday that it could not but be the dominant memory of the entire program. The Gluck music was charming and dainty; the Bach prelude, given very interesting transcrip- tion for orchestra, created a remarkable mood of peace; the Haendel “Overture in D Minor” was brought to an astound- t and vibrating climax. and est inspiration of them all. ~—H. F. THE INTLRSTATE MALE CHORUS. There were several pleasing aspects to the concert of the Interstate Male Chorus last night at Memorial Con- tinental Hall. The most pleasing, perhaps, occurred in the rendition of the “Reaper’s Song"” (Harbour), in which the accompanist. Robert L. Feuerstein, and the organis Gertrude Smallwood Mockbee, were re- quired to play double piano. conclusion of the first rendition, the encore, they looked at each other and smiled, saying, inaudibly: “Well, we_got away with that.” The number, incidentally, was one of the most charming on the program. Bernard Kossine was guest soloist. He did three things of really fine qual- ity. In the first of his offerings he revealed an unfortunate hoarseness. As the evening progressed he lost this, and his true voice, one of at times lyric quality, came out. He was especially good in a series of three songs done without the orchestra: “Song of the Soul” (Breil), “The Moon" (Bagby) and “Come to Me" (Solman). The chorus was in its best in songs of the hymnal, chanting, or rollicking type. A couple of old drinking songs were given with fine gusto. A number of other songs, requiring a subdued undertone’ in chanted measures, were likewise well delivered. Everything the chorus offered was well received by a well filled house. Numbers in which the singers were particularly ~pleasing, Ferh-p. were Th~se: “Orpheus’ Invocation” (Rinucel), “Knock 'Em in the Old Kent Road" (Ingle) and the previously mentioned “Reaper’s Song.” ST Marriage Licenses.
