A Support Is Asked for Next Season’s Concerts Of National Symphony _Executive Committee Starts Drive for Financial Support—"Dollar Fund " Is Planned—A New Cantata and Local News. By E. de S. Melcher.

But, since the |nently into the cultured and ed- city has not one large golden | musical angel, who can whistle | out a fortune and lay it at the | feet of the orchestra, a campaign | must be waged to refloat the sym- | phony for another year—until at | last the young orchestra shall have attained its majority and no | further financial floating is nec- | essary. The Executive Committee of | the National Symphony and its various subsidiaries, now that the | drive for the Community Chest is over and done with, is starting forth in search of the support which is necessary to secure the further life of Mr. Kindler’s Washingtonians. Mrs. Tracy Dows, for instance, is the pro- moter of a scheme which is to be | called “the dollar fund.” This| fund is to be campaigned for the length and breadth of the city and will include as many people as it is possible to reach, the idea being that the orchestra, having become a definite civic asset, should be part and parcel of as many people’s life as pos- sible. In other words, the masses are being appealed to, and support | for an organization which has| proved its worth is being sought from high and low. No matter how small the donation it will be appreciated by those who have tried so hard to give Washington | a permanent symphonic group. | Those who are unable to give more should find this “dollar| fund” an easy way to establish | their willingness to keep the or- chestra alive for another season. And these are urged—and it is hoped that not much urging will be necessary—to send in to the| headquarters of the National Symphony their small donations | before the more formal campaign | gets under way. The committee at the moment would be more than grateful to receive as many of these “dollar funds” as pos- sible—and donors are requested to send their contributions to the secretary, National Symphony, | 1819 H street, as soon as possible. * x x % RS. TRACY DOWS is only one of a committee of civic and music minded patrons working for the further promotion of this | orchestra. The fact that more rather than less prominent per- sons in the city are organizing | the continuation of this major musical institution—whose suc- cess is unprecedented in Wash- ington—would indicate that its merits have dug deep into the af- fections of the people. That Local NNE McGUFFEY YAGO has re- turned to this city from Falls Church, Va., and has opened a studio at 2106 N street north- west. Mrs. Yago will sing next at the Priday Morning Music A Friday Club. T. Guy Lucas will given an organ re- cital at St. John’s Church tomorrow evening at 8:15 o'clock. Mr. Lucas’ pro- gram will include three Bach Preludes and the Fugue on the Chorale “Wir glauben all’ an einem Gott,” the Men- delssohn “Sonata No. 4,” Gaul's “Little Bells of Our Lady of Lourdes” and the Zelenka-Lerando “Esquisse” written for and dedicated to the organist. Mr. Lucas will be lssflby Mary Owen. Leonard Davis, baritone, Wil assist Lewis Corning Atwater, organist, in a program of Cesar Franck music at All| Souls' Church, Unitarian, this afternoon | at 5 o'clock. Mr. Davis will sing “Panis Angelicus.” Edith B. Athey gave a recital last Fri- day evening at the Thomas Circ le Club at which her piano pupils played. Eugenia Slattery was the vocal soloist at the opening meeting of the N. E. A at the auditorium of the New National Museum. She was accompanied by her sister, Margaret M. Slattery. A song written by Mrs. Mary 8. Parker and entitled “Our Song of Love for Washington” was read recently over the radio during the General Federa- tiion of Women'’s Clubs regular morning hour. Mrs. Helen Hunter was the reader. Anita Schade repeated her lecture “Goethe in Music” last Friday at Cor- coran Hall, George Washington Uni- versity. Dorothy Sherman Pierson, so- prano, and Eveline Monico, pianist, were the assisting artists. This trio will be heard next Priday evening at 8:30 o'clock at the Frances Gutelius Studios. At the last meeting of the German Literary Soclety held at the home of its president, Anita Schade, the following solosts supplied the interesting musical program: Le Roy Lewis, baritone, ac- companied by Mrs. Carl Chindblom: Eleanor Hulburt, pianist, and Paul Brightenburg, violinist. The Soloist Ensemble, wnder the di- rection of Otto T. Simon, and with Robert Ruckman as accompanist, will give a program over WRC Tuesday eve- ning from 6 to 6:30.

Rubinstein Club_will hold its ing and | been received by this department |Lucy Brickenstein—one of the ucational life of the city. P MUSICAL circles have learned with sorrow of the death of Jerome Williams, prominent local pianist and composer and a mem- ber of the Washington Composers’ Club, the Orpheus and the Friends of Music in the Library of Con- gress. Mr. Williams died on Feb- ruary 20 at Lake Saranac. o ONE of Washington’s most pro- lific and energetic composers, R. Deane Shure has, as they say, “done it again.” This time Mr. Shure’s music, with words by Dr. Edwin N. C. Barnes, is more aus- picious than usual. In a can- tata called “Sage of Mount Ver- non” he has arranged some ap- propriate music to the spirit of this season and written it in a bold, clear style. While some of the first part seems a trifle con- ventional, when he gets to where the treble voices sing the chorale, “Faded the flush of war to naught but memories,” he indulges in what one of Washington’s most eloquent musicians has called, “real music.” This tribute to Mr. Shure, from one who knows the very ground upon which music walks, is only one of a number of complimentary words which have been passed upon this work. It may be said, in fact, to be whole | leaps and bounds ahead of a somewhat similar undertaking which was published earlier in the year. It is to be sung, inci- dentally, by a chorus of 1,500 high and grade school children during Music week, with Dr. Barnes con- ducting. This event is being looked forward to eagerly by all those who have read this work and also by those who haven't. % ok ok COMPLIMENTARY copy of . the new “Who's Who” of the Friday Morning Music Club has through the Kkindness of Miss most talented and least publicized of all local musicians. Miss Brickenstein’s courtesy has re- sulted in a feverish summary of this interesting little volume, which tells many untold tales about the local music gentry and will, no doubt, clarify the mean- ing of much that goes on within the club’s doors at that vital 11 o'clock hour—which unfortu- nately often comes too early in the day to allow this office to scamper off and leave its tele- | phone ringing idly by itself. Notes cert will please call Mrs. Milton White, Georgia 2845. Georgia E. Miller, director of the Vir- gil Piano School, will be hostess at & musicale and tea this afternoon, in her studio, 1652 Newton street northwest. ‘Those who will assist Miss Miller on the program will be Elvia Allpress Meyer, George Cornwell, Margaret Loane, Norma Bell Carty, Florence Storm, planists, and Afleen Cornwell, soprano. The Washington Choral Festival As- sociation Chorus will sing “Jesu, Joy of &Man's Desiring,” from the cantata “Hertz und Mund,” by Johann Sebas- tian Bach, and the 150th Psalm, by Cesar Franck, March 6, with the Na- tional Symphony Orchestra when the last Sunday afternoon concert of the season will be given. The rehearsal Monday night, Pebruary 29, will be held at Central High School, Thirteenth and Clifton streets, at 8 o'clock, with Louls A. Potter conducting. ‘Warren F. Johnson will give an organ recital at the Church of the Pilgrims at 7:30 o'clock this evening. He will play the sonata, “Da Pacem Domine” (MS), by Hendrik Andriessen, which will be the first performance of this new work in this country. A costume song recital with the | Washington Biceniennial as its theme | was given by Selma Selinger Klein at! the birthday party of the Washington Chapter Hadassah held Tuesday at the Jewish Community Center.

Molinari is an accomplished musi- cian and a profound scholar. He has transcribed and arranged a number of orchestral works, among them the “Sonata Sopra Santa Maria” of Claudio Monteverdi: much of the music of Vi- valdi, gnd the composition of Debussy. It was, in fact, at the request of the latter composer that he made an ar- rangement for large orchestra of the plano composition “L'Isle Joyeuse.” It was as guest conductor for the New York Philharmonic Orchestra that Molinari came to America first in Janu- ary, 1928, to direct four concerts. Dur- ing that same season he spent five weeks with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. His Summer engagements during that same year included San Francisco, Hillsborough and the New York Stadium concerts. The following season found Molinari again in this country as guest conduc- tor with the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Detroit Orchestra, in addition to a return engagement with the Phil- harmonic Symphony of New York. During 1929-30 Molinari was a regu- lar conductor of the New York Phil- harmonic Symphony for five weeks; he spent a fortnight with the St. Louis Symphony and was with the Detroit Symphony as guest conductor for a week. Returning to Rome in February, he assumed his activities there as head of the Augusteum Orchestra, but in re- sponse to urgent invitations was back at the Pacific Coast once more during the Summer of 1930. His term with the Philadelphia Or- chestra as guest conductor this season will extend from Pebruary 8 to March 8, and it is during that interval that Mr. Molinari will come with the or- ganization to Washington. He was slated for three appearances during January and February of this Winter with the | Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. His program here next Tuesday will be: Haydn—"Symphony No. 1 in E Plat. Respighi—'Old_Dances and Alrs | “Lute” (sixteenth century). Intermission. Vivaldi—"Winter,” from “Concert of the orchestra. cembalo Seasons.” for ' string and organ (transcribed by Molinari) Loefller—"A Pagan Poem” (after Virgil for piano and strings). Heinrich Gebhard, pianist. Ravel—"Bolero.” CHILDREN'S CONCERT SATURDAY. { WW/XTH 20 o the 24 concerts originally scheduled for this, its first full | season already converted into musical history, the National Symphony Orches- tra of Washington, D. C., Hans Kindler, conductor, faces four more outstanding | concerts before its initial season closes | with its eighth symphony concert on March 17. | The current week offers but one con- | cert—the eighth concert for children and young people—which will be given | at Central High School Auditorium, Thirteenth and Clifton streets north- west, at 11 o'clock next Saturday morn- ing, March 5. The outstanding event of the concert will be the presentation of | the gold, silver and bronze medals for the three best essays on the concert | series by members of the audience. | ‘The presentation of these medals will be made by Mr. Kindler in person, who will also conduct a program largely composed of request numbers, selec-| tions which have met with the em- phatic approval of hearers at these| Thursday afternoon and Saturday | morning _concerts at Central High | School. It is also anticipated that cer-| tain other ceremonies of semi-formal | nature will mark the close of the series. | The first major concert in March will be the concert to be given next Sunday afternoon, March 6, at 4 o'clock, the for the Navy. A board of officers of the Medical Corps | will be convened at the Navy Depart-| ment tomorrow to recommend one officer of that corps for promotion to | the rank of rear admiral, to fill the| vacancy caused by the retirement Janu- | ary 1 of Rear Admiral James F. Leys, with the rank of vice admiral.

Y. SYMPHONY. IR THOMAS BEECHAM, the dis- tinguished English conductor, who has been called the most unusual figure in the European world, has been in this country only once before, in January, 1928, when he acted as guest conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orches- tra for four concerts, and of the Boston Symphony and Philadelphia Orchestras. ! Sir Thomas will conduct the third and jast concert of the New York Philhar- monic-Symphony of the season, in Washington, at Constitution Hall. on Tuesday afternoon, March 8, at 4:30. Sir Thomas' favorite composer is Mozart and he has done a good deal to revive interest in Handel and to stimulate effort in behalf of the British composer, particularly Delius. 8ir Thomas will present on this program the Mozart Symphony, No. 34, in C major, as well as Haydn’s Symphony in E flat’ major and Franck Symphony in D minor. Although only 52 years old, Sir Thomas has had what Eaglefield Hull calls a “prodigious career.” Inheriting a fortune from his father, he started his career as an “amateur of genius.” Born in Liverpool, he attended as a ooy the Rossall School, where he studied composition under Dr. Sweeting. Later at Wadham College, Oxford, he con- tinued bhls musical studies in a rather desultory fashion under Dr. Varley Roberis. That was the end of his reg- ular musical schooling. His professional labors began as director of a touring opera company in 1902. In 1905 he gave his first symphony concert in London. with the Queen's Hall Orches- tra; the next year he established the New Symphony Orchestra, which he conducted until 1908, when he resigned and formed the Beecham Symphony Orchestra. In 1910 he engaged Covent Garden and began his great work as a producer of opera. In the course of the next 10 vears he produced such works as “Elec- ra,” “Salome,” Strauss’ “Ariadne auf Naxos.” Ethel Smyth’'s “The Wreckers™ The Boatswain's Mate,” Delius’ ‘L’Enfant Prodigue” » Stravinsky's “Nightengale,” version of Bach’s “Phoebus “BLUE BIRD” COMING.

The Welsh National Museum has de- clined the offer by Evans Walters to exhibit on loan his oll portrait of Cara- doc Evans, the Welsh novelist. The rea- son given by the council, after much discussion, was that they already are exhibiting another of Walters’ works, a painting of a Welsh collier. It is re- membered, however, that some time ago | Swansea turned down the Caradoc | Evans portrait on the ground that he | had defiled his own people. Much eriti- | cism of Evans’' works has been made | owing to his descriptions of Wales and | its_people. MUSIC STUDIOS. Charles S. Stephenson, Ruskin M. Lha- mon, Edward E. Woodland, Roscoe M.
