NARCOTIGS SEIZED - ON FOREIGN “TIP" $5,000,000 Cargo Billed as “Woolens” Held at Army Base in Brooklyn. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, April 25.—Three tons of narcotics, confiscated after they had been unloaded from the liner Milwau- kee, were at the Army base at Brooklyn today for inventory. Constituting the largest seizure ever made in New York at one time, they were valued by police &t more than $5,000,000. ‘Newspaj said that a tip came from abroad. detectives, customs of- ficials and Federal narcotic agents clus- tered around 17 large crates on pier 84 yesterday afternoon and together opened ©one of the boxes. It was found to store m e, 8,500 ounces of heroin and 8,500 ounces of opium. The crates, reinforced by metal strips on the corners, were marked “On order,” ‘which meant that any one possessing a proper manifest could have claimed the shipment and trucked it away. ‘The shipment was supposed to have con- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, APRIL 25 1931 Music and Musicians Reviews and News of Capital's Programs. Nina Koshetz and Guitarist Featured at Morning Festival. Lib of Congress Fes- tival o{almber Music began early yesterday — the first concert taking place in the auditorium at precisely 11:15 am. The artists were Nina Ko- shetz, soprano, and Miguel Llobet, guitarist, and there was a regular cheering section, occupied on_onk side by the Rus- sians and on the other by the Spaniards. While in be- tween and all around and about was a most _cordially enthusiastic au- dience made up of native and lo- cal talent, which applauded both artists feverish- 1y. Miss Koshetz, who appeared elrllertt sel; son at one of Nina Koshetr. i Teble morning musicales sponsored by Mrs. Townsend, scemed yesterday in exceptionally good voice. She is, in fact, our idea of the ideal artist. A soprano who doesn’t mind occa- sionally becoming an alto—and & one, at that-—her lower notes are strong and clear, and vibrantly exciting. When this lady sang the Moussorgsky “Cradle Song of Death” yesterday there was as much emo- tion visible in the audience as there was with her—and that meant that she had very definitely rung true. There is, furthermore, as much pathos in Miss Koshetz's voice as there is in half a dozen other ladies better as the yoi instrumentalists overcame their earlier nervousness. Kreisler's transcription of “Swanee River,” played by Ruth Hobbs as & Violin' solo, offered another pleasing moment in a very long program. A quartet from the Boys’ Glee Club of Eastern High School singing “Deep River,” and Leah Effenbach at the plano playing a Saint-Saens number with brilliance, brought the concert to & close. J.N. H. Boy Organist Attracts Capacity Audience. THE aelitorium of the Metropoli- tan Baptist Church was filled with a capacity audience that turned out last night to hear Henry J. Booker, jr. a l4-year-old boy or- ganist, who has been termed a “child prodigy,” and who has received fa- vorable comment for his work from Washington musicians of note. A program of semi-classical numbers for the most part, concluding with a group of spirituals, served to display the fine talents of the young artist. His playing and general mien at ths keyboard made it evident that he possessed confidence in his own abil- ity. His interpretation is good, per- h‘r lacking a bit in sparkle and brilliancy, due to overanxiety to cor- rectly master intricate technicalities. His crescendos were especially well executed. “Marche Aux Flambeaux” was the opening selection, followed in the first group by Faulkes' “Idylle,” Nevin’s “Song of Sorrow” and Borowski’s “Adoration.” The “Were You There” “I'm 5o Glad" and “Steal Away” spirituals were received with thunderous applause. Esther Mae Hall, soprano, Who was the assisting artist, sang “In My Dreams I Sorrowed,” by Hue, and “At Eve I Heard a Flute,” by Strick- WoopwaRD & LoTHrOP S UST a6 The Bride . ..
