BYRD SHIP FIGHTS ANTARCTIC GALES City of New York Covers Only 25 Miles in 24 Hours at Full Speed. BY RUSSELL OWEN. By Radio to The Star and New York Times. LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, Feb- ruary 13.—The City of New York is making almost no headway against the constant gales now blowing in the Ross | Sea. In the last 24 hours Capt. Melville | estimated his progress at about 25 miles, In his last message to Admiral Byrd, Jjust received, he says: “Ship laboring heavily in seaway. Practically hove to with engines at full speed.” Melville’s dead reckoning would put the New Yol at Little America, but there is no telling how long it will take to cover that distance His runs have been shorter each day. There is no indication of any change either, as it is during this period that the cooling Barrier causes almost con- | tinual disturbances at sea. The wind | is blowing enough today to carry a | slight surface drift of snow and is still easterly. Overhead it seems to be mov- ing from the northeast, which keeps the temperature up. But with a shift of the wind to the South, which would probably result in | calmer weather here, the cold would in- crease and probably cause strong south- erly blows at sea. So any way one looks at the situation the New York seems to be in for a rough time, and her arrival depends on_the whim of the Antarctic winds. In the meantime, every one here is just waiting and g to forget the Weather. 1930, by the New York nd the ' St. Louis Post- ients for publication re- served thr ut the wor MUSIC THE MINNEAPOLIS SYMPHONY. The symphony orchestra from Min- neapolis came to Washington yesterday and delighted an audience that should have been at least twice as large as it was. This orchestra is a fine organiza- tion, and the conductor, Henri Ver- brugghen, certainly achieved a brilliant and memorable effect in the way in| which he conducted Ottorino Respighi’s | “Pines of Rome.” This work has been heard here a few times previously once under the guidance of the com- | poser himself. Mr. Verbrugghen built | to a towering and powerful climax in | the finale, “Pines of the Appian Way. Even the nightingale sang unusually charmingly on its phonograph record at one side of the stage, in the soft, nocturne-like third movement. The faun in Debussy’s famous prelude, | “L’Apres-Midi d'un Faune.” might have been a little fleeter and lighter footed, but the general tone of the interpreta- | « tion of this work, which has not been played here for some time, was delight ful and filled with the shadowy, pressionistic beauty Debussy’s music. The symphony of the afternoon was Brahms’ ‘First Symphony in C Minor.” Its beautiful themes are always wel- come, The Minneapolis leader gave it rather unusual interpretation, especial- | ly in the third movement when the| tempo was slowed noticeably for the famous pizzicato passages. They seemed | to lose effectiveness by this—that sug-| gestion of mysterious latent power be- ing lost by the breaking of the phrases. Also, the grandeur of the religious| theme which follows closely after these | phrases seemed to lack something ar‘ its usual imposing stature. The overture to the program was | Weber’s “Euryanthe.” Owing to & con- flict in dates published in announce- ments and the actual time evidently set for the concert to begin, quite a number | of persons missed this overture, H.F.

We would not have it ways 2 dead language.” So said Knthr\\“ Prost in introduction to the first o | her second pair of “Ten Interpretive Music Talks” given last evening at the King-Smith Studio School. Mrs. Frost | - immediately plunged her hearers into | rbout 250 miles from | im- | characteristic of | ing much of this music, with the dark | brown-toned monotony of a Poulenc, or the touch of cadences from Brazil— though not tunes, mind you—of Darius | Milhaud of the famous French ‘Six, | with his Spanish dance based on chords | of the seventh, with the left hand in quite another key. Yet this ‘Sumara’ was rich in atmosphere.” ‘There was amusement in Mrs. Frost's eye as she turned for the bewildered {100ks that so often greeted her, but so graphic were her elucidations that this new tone language awakened much en- thusiasm, for its sheer fascination. Then one new German work, n Eve- ning in Seville,” by Walter Niemann, sent one singing lyrically, though on examination one found a rhythm first of four beats, then two, then three, then four again. Mrs. Frost closed an evening of piano playing with several preludes of Chopin, ending in poetry what she had opened in problem. Tonight the series con- tinues, with future recitals a_ month aw: MacB. A UNIVERSITY CLUB PROGRAM. Kurt Hetzel, a musician who is known in - many pacities in musical en- deavrs in Washington, and Bernard G. Spille, tenor, gave a joint program before an audience that filled the hall at the University Club last night. En- thusiasm was shown over the efforts of both artists. The program was spon- sored by headed by Lewis Lofton Moneyway. Mr. Hetzel, who first appeared in | Washington several years ago as spe- cial conductor for Wagnerian operas | being produced by the Opera Co., ance by a Washington Symphony Or- chestra, which he organized and re- an entertainment committee | THE EVENING in the Memorial Chapel of Howard University. Before a good-sized audi- ence that was always enthusiastic the musician presented some of the selec- tions that have won him considerable distinction, particularly abroad, where in the French capital he has played before such celebrities as the princesses of Spain and the Prince of Wales. In the last half of his program the violinist was most at his ease. Blessed with a rich and wonderfully vibrating tone, the shorter numbers seemed to suit his style of playing admirably. He is no technician and it is even to be wondered at that he tried such long and difficult passages as are to be found in the Paray “Sonata” and in the “Le Trille Du Diable” of Tartini. With an inclination to press over-severely with the bow, 1t was something of a relief when he launched into the less | troubled waters of such selections as | Debus: “La Fille Aux Cheveux De |Lin.” "His own arrangement of the “Chant Negre” was ideally suited to his talents, as was the encore to the | Tartini numbers, which, nameless, had a Cyril Scqtt quality that was melodi- ous as well as intriguing.
