Defender of Amendment. “I am going to stand against any man, any party or anything that would destroy the eighteenth amendment, and if that be treason let them make the most of it,” he declared. The Committee on Temperance and Social Service late yesterday revised its Teport in a way “to prevent the wet press from making headlines out of it.” As originally submitted the opening sentences read: “Despite our prohibition laws, the evils of intoxicating drink are Though there has been a decline in the amount of whisky used and we no longer have the open saloon, the temptations of youth are still ver real and widespread, and work The battle land from the free our | tragic results which drink brings is nct yet_ won.” This was rewritten to read hibition laws have been ad with increasing efficiency ‘Our pro- is not completely won.” Fire Razes Canning Building.

Thousands Greet Bori At Symphony Concert. LL those who have had a fin- ger in the National Sym- phony Orchestra pie must have cheered inwardly as well as outwardly yesterday afternoon, Within the mammoth walls of Constitution Hall an audi- ence, which almost equaled last sea- son’s Paderewski gathering, filled the auditorium to capacity, leaving many who had saun- tered down cas- ually to the concert with- cut benefit of admittance to mumble disap- pointediy at be- ing left out in the cold. The was the superb, and i#f one cared to look about one saw that famed Lucrezia Bori. 16 | young soprano, who will sing this afternoon at Con- stitution Hall, Lily Pons, sitting in a box and evidently enjoying her- self hugely. ‘The time, the place, the program ——everything yesterday indicated that Mr. Kindler's Sunday after- noon “popular” concerts have come into their own. Bori was, of course, the major attraction. But those who inragined that with her final number the hall might partially be cleared were happily mistaken.

As & matter of fact, the orchestral best was yet to come. This “best,” the waltz from ‘Tschaiko s opera “Eugene Onegin,” which was played for the first time in Washington, is some- thing not easily forgotten. The grandly modulated “One, two, three, one, two, three,” were played with as great a finesse as one can imagine such things could be. The orches- tra at this point was a _single unit, and so melodious under the impera- tive baton of the conductor that shades of Vienna, or St. Petersburg, or whatever one cared to think about at that moment were at the very tip of one’s thoughts. Those who have never heard this waltz before should thank Mr. Kindler for this opportunity of hearing it. And those to whom it is familiar must have been thankful for its inspiring rendition. We, for one, should like to hear the orchestra play it again. Lucrezia Bori, one of the real queens of the Metropolitan Opera Co. as well as of the entire singing world, sang her share of the pro- gram with just such a grace of manner and of interpretation as one has come to expect from her. A radiant figure in white, at first with a plumed hat, which after the deFalla “Jota” was removed and relegated to the top of the piano (it was a nice hat, but a trifle prima donnerish—and the artist seemed relieved when it was off her head), Mme. Bori sang. for instance, the Mozart aria “Di Vieni Non Tardar,” from “The Mariage of rigaro,” Wo e N with such consummate skill that the torrent of applause which fol- lowed was easlly deserved. Those rare lower legato notes of the singer's range, which no soprano of today surpasses, were brought forth with & tremulousnesses and a feeling which, as again in the superb “Can- tares,” by Obradores, struck a defi- nite mood of perfection. While it is true that the singer sometimes flats half a degree from the straight and narrow toward the summit of her range, there is o question of way- wardness in the middle and lower vocal regions. This seemed espe- clally true in the folksong “Segui- dilla,” which some said they wished they could have understood in word form and others admitted that with Mme. Bori's excellent rendition of it words weren't by any means neces- sary. Mme. Bori was & particularly gen- erous soloist yesterday. While it ‘was obvious that she didn’'t wish to infringe on Mr. Kindler's portion of the program (she asked him at one point it it was all right to continue), she sang three encores with a mas ner so gracious that it seemed al- most as if she were singing at home in her own parlor. When she sang the final “Estrellita,” she tossed her little prompt book lightly on_the plano and throwing back her head smiled a long and comfortable smile and then sang with everything there was in her. It was a glowing per- formance and an example of the PHOTOGRAPUS P Bachrach 1362 Conn. Av Pot. 4470 DWARD generosity of her spirit as well as of her voice. ‘The orchestra before Mme. Bori's appearance had played the Bee- thoven overture to “Leonore.” This was followed by Bizet's suite “L’Ar- lesienne,” in which a more complete balance between strings, horns and other instruments was obtained, especially in the “Adegietto” section, than has been heard since the ren- dition of the “Freischutz” overture at the Children's concert. The last two numbers, including Mr. Kindler's splendid arrangement of the Mous= sorgsky “Chant Russe” and the above mentioned waltz, were per- formed faultlessly. In fact, there seemed little wrong yesterday, ex- cept that one suspects that the or- chestra isn’t quite happy as yet when it comes to Beethoven as it is with some of the less classic composers. “This is unquestionably the type of concert that Washington has been waiting for. And hasn't had until yesterday. If, as is claimed, this city is a music center, then support of this sort of music is not only to be hoped for but to be expected.
