National Symphony To Play in Richmond Announcement Has Been Made by Management That Local Orchestra Will Give a Concert in Virginia's e chestra C. C. Cappel, orchestra man- ager, it was announced today. The orchestra will play in Richmond some time in February, date to be an- nounced later. Kindler will conduct, and one of the features of the per- formance will be the appearance of John Powell, well known American pianist and composer, who lives in Richmond. Mr. Powell will be soloist in his composition for piano and orches- tra, “Dance Negre.” Last year Mr. Powell played in Wash ington, as well as with the orchestra when it appeared in Richmond during the Virginia State music festival From the number of inguiries re- ceived at the orchestra’s offices, it is highly possible that in another year ‘Washington's symphony will be going on extended tours. Requests for data have come from points as distant as Harrisburg. Pa.; Columbus, Ohio, and Winston-Salem, N. C. Concert bureaus, civic groups and schools in Greensboro, Charlotte and Winston-Salem. N. C.; Lynchburg, Va.; Charles Town, W. Va.: Pittsburgh, Har- | risburg, Pa., and Chambersburg. Md. have broach the subject of a con cert date with the orchestra manage- ment. HE first out-of-town engagement for the National Symphony Or- has been arranged by Capital City. It is highly possible that coneerts will be given in Frederick and Hggers- town next season, but an extendefl tour, now that dates for the series here have been set. is out of the question. True enough, these towns are not what might b called the meccas of music in America, but in serving this field the National Symphony c&n be particularly useful. Many of these places hear no symphonic music, or at best, very little of it. If Washington's orchestra is supported here so that the organiaztion is assured for several sea- sons, Conductor Kindler will be able to take his men on tour, thus bringing fine musié to those who seldom hear it. Kindler apparently has a strong streak of the missionary spirit in him. Not only has he played his cello in the great capitals of the world, but has taken it to Java to play to Dutch colo- nial planters and has toured, with Ethel Leginska in a series of small town con- certs in the Middle West. This Summer, in England, he played | several concerts, one of them for the |B. B. C. (British Broadcasting Co.). |'And he continued his missionary work | there by playing Mrs. Walter Bruce Howe's composition, *Patrie.” In a few weeks, in Philadelphia, | Kindler will also conduct another of Mrs. Howe's compositions, “Dirge.” at the Robin Hood Dell concerts of the Philadelphia Symphony. Le.;kgga ‘Heads Cast HE second open-air performance at the Griffith Stadium, sched- uled for August 2, will be “Il Trovatore,” one of Verdi's most popular and melodious operas, with Anna Leskaya, celebrated Rus- sian soprano. The cast will include the following noted opera stars: Count of Luna, baritone, Pasquale Amato; Fernando, bass, Ninio Ruisi: Leonora, soprano, Anna Leskaya: Azucena, mezzo-soprano, Agnes Robinson; Man- rico, tenor, Pasquale Ferrara, and Ruiz, tenor, Enzo Poltrinieri. The story of “Il Trovatore” ‘“The TTroubadour,” was suggested by a Span- ish drama of the same name, and was first produced at the Teatro Apollo. in Rome, Italy, on January 19. 1853. The opera opens with a midnight scene at the palace of Aliaferia, where the old servitore, Fernando, relates to his as- sociates the story of the fate of the count’s brother, Garzia, who was stolen by the daughter of a gypsy witch. As the count lingers by the apartment of the duchess he is challenged to & combat by his rival in love, Manrico, the troubadour. The second act opens with the familiar Anvil chorus and Azucena’s | fearful story of the burning of her | mother and her own infant by mis- | take, instead of Garzia. Leonora is saved from entering the convent by Manrico, whom she believes ilo be dead. Inquiries by the count connect Azucena as the murderéss of his brother and also as the motheér of Nanrico and he vows double vengeance. The honeymoon of the troubadour and Leonora is interrupted by plans for the burning of Azucena, and Manrico, rushing to her aid. is thrown with her | into & dungeon Leonora offers herself to the count in exchange for the life of Manrico. | The opera closes with tragedy. Leonora takes poison rather than carry out her promise, Manrico is dragged away to be executed and Azucena, falling life- less to the ground as she tells the horror-stricken count that he has mur- | dered his own brother. | The celebrated “Dance of the Hours," | from the opera, “Giloconda,” will be | featured at the opening of this per- formanee of “Il Trovatore.” with 24 | specially trained dancers led by Lisa | Gardiner. Seats are now on sale at Steiff Piano 1340 G street. C Pan American Music News R. L. 8.

Ever since Toscanini first heard the boy play a concert at Carnegie Hall in New York the maestro has been one of Yehudi's warm admirers, but the pres- sure of their musical work and the vicissitudes of travel made their meet- ings very infrequent and brief. Sev- eral weeks ago both Yehudi and Tosca- nini found themselves passengers Eu- Tope bound on the Ile de France and at last they found an opportunity to consolidate & friendship that had been | made under hasty circumstances. The ship's ofl.cers loaned the two the ship’s music salon every day and here the two foregathered every day of the vovage while Toscanini listened end Yehudi played Mozart, Bach, Bee- thoven and the works of other masters, Toscanini requested and heard the Kreutzer Sonata, the seldom-heard Mo- | “Seventh Concerto” and many and for all zart, another classic, On the last night at sea, when the talent on board customarily gives a concert, for the benefit of the seamen’s fund, the great Toscanini was asked to act as manager of the affair and he accepted on condition that Yehudi ap- pear as the artist. .

Moment of truth, of courage without compromise. “Lee,” she began—she was free. The truth could free her. “I think you should know—I love Tom Stewart.” Tony's confession had much the ef- fect on Lee's drooping regard for Tom that a vase of cold water has on a wilted rose.

Her reactions to Tony's hitherto care- fully guarded secret were varied. Just at first she thought Tony was joking.

One look at Tony's pale set face, deflant eyes, trembling lips, and Lee under- siood. Tony’s passion for the truth had overtaken her sgain. Anger, resent- ment, distrust beat against Lee, spumed and roared like waves storm-tossed nst jagged rocks. This is what came of putting your faith in a girl friend!

She had not tried to “make” Tom Stewart. She had striven de!rerltrly to release herself from the spell of him, the dear- ness of him. “I didn't. I fought against caring for him!” Loving Tom Stewart was the the very last, I wanted to do.” The sincerity of protest. the clamor of pain raised by injustice of those dear | 1o us, was not lost on Lee.

EDGERTON. last two weeks of August, is to ray of aviation events of national the program are two great cross- country airplane races, in which more than 100 planes are expected to compete; a four-day aviation show of more spectacular character than anything yet seen here; the George Washington Bicentennial aviation demonstratl National Aeronautic Association, a on; the annual convention of the nd the celebration of the birthday of Orville Wright, in which the National Aeronautic Association anc the Bicentennial Commission will participate. Outstanding among the events which will be packed into twn weeks will be the start frem Washington-Hoover Airport of the Atlantic wing of the transcontinental sweepstakes air derby for the Cord Trophy, $20,000 in cash prizes, two automobiles, and numerous lap prizes. n this race, which is to start at noon on Sunday, August 2 approximately 70 planes will be entered, according to word received from headquarters of the 1932 National Air Races, to be held at Cleveland women pilots from Btates east o participate in the Cord race. T ugust 27 to September 5. Many world-famous men and f the Mississippi are exrected to hey will fly from Washington to Dallas, Texas, consolidating there with pianes of the Pacific wing, starting from Los Angeles, and finishing in a great massed race to Cleveland. ‘The second derby to begin here is for amateur pilots and advance entries registered by the National Aeronautic Association indicate that approximately 50 planes will be entered. This race will begin Saturday morning, August 27, winding up that afternoon at Cleve- land. The take-off of the Cord Trophy planes will be the climax of an aviation meet starting August 18 at Washing- ton-Hoover Alrport and continuing for four days, with many interesting events on the ground and in the air. It is probable that the George Washington Bicentennial _aviation demonstration may be included as a part of this four- day show. The National Aeronautic Association, governing body in charge of competitive aviation in the United States, will meet in the National Capital August 18 and 19, bringing together aviation leaders from all parts of the country. Orville Wright, chairman of the Con- test Committee of the association, will be honored here on his birthday, August 19. The celebration will include a banquet that evening. Orville Wright will not make a speech at the dinner. He may stand up and bow, but he will not make a speech. He never has made a speech and says he never will make a speech. It was Orville Wright who, when asked why he did not speak, made the classical observation that the par- rot, & good speaker, is & very bad fiyer. A banquet with a- speechless guest of honor will be something of a novelty for the National Capital and therefore not unworthy of support. At the same time, the medal of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale will be presented to Comdr. P. V. H. Weems, Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, for his work on aerial navigation, and the Grover Loening Intercollegiate FI ing Club Trophy will be presented to | the Harvard Flying Club of Harvard University. Airline Operators Hopeful. Air transport operators in general are exceedingly optimistic over the effect on air transport business of the proposed interline air express agree- ment which is to become effective August 1. Under the agreement, the handling of air express will be put on the same basis as the handling of rail- road express. Free exchange of merchandise from one airline to another at connecting terminals will be made possible through use of uniform way bills. Door-to-door air express service will be made possible throughout the country. The surface transportation industries always have derived their chief revenues from the carrying of commodities rather than from the carrying of passengers or mail. The new air express move- ment, it is believed, offers to the air- lines their largest potential source of revenue and points the way to real | rogress. Air express business is the only phase of the air transport business in which | the United States lags behind Europe today. European airlines realized the promise of alr express business early in their careers and set about to de- velop the business systematically. The agreement reached by the airlines of this country should result in a great expansion of air express service and open a profitable and growing field of activity to the industry. Glover Urges Air Policy. It s the urgent duty of every one connected in any capacity with avia- tion today to work for the establish- ment of & self-sustaining and _sell- | respecting aviation industry, with a definite plan and & definite policy for the achievement of this objective, W. Irving Glover, Second Assistant Pos! master General in charge of airma told members of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce at an informal conference in New York during the past week. Up to now. Mr. Glover said, “our national aviation nolicy has been al- ! most wholly a personal one.” Private industry has been looking solely toward its own jnterests, he said, and the Post Office Department, he admitted, prob- ably has been acting only with the view of administering the airmail law as laid down by Congress. “But we, in the department,” he said, | “feel that the time has now come when we must broaden our vision of the whole picture of national aviation.” | "' Mr. Glover said that he does not see how the transport operators can longer regard themselves as separate from the rest of the industry and that no longer | should the industry think of itself only as being divided into factions with con- flicting interests. “Air transport and, especially so, alr mail cannot become self-supporting and consequently self-respecting with- | out the assistance of the rest of the in- | dustry, or, in other words, all the in- | dustry’ puiling together as one for that one goal—success for commercial avia- tion in all jts phases,” he said. “It has often been my thought, and | still is, that neither commercial nor military _airplane manufacturing can survive if air transport fails. e fu- ture of aircraft manufacturing rests on transport.” | " The postal chiet expressed the belief that “a new unified policy, in which military, commercial, industrial and governmental interests would partici- pate, would result in a very great gain being accomplished for the greater suc- | cess of the aviation policy of this | country.” | New Transports Described. | Success of the fast new twin-motored, low-wing bombardment planes pro- | duced by Boeing for the Army Air Corps has resulted in the construction of an entirely new type of transport plane, which is declared, as a result of | preliminary tests, to be the fastest multi-motored transport plane in the | world. | " A fleet of the new flanes will go Into { service beginning this Fall on the trans- continental airmail and passenger lines of United Alr Lines and will make pos- | sible & reduction of the New York-San | Prancisco travel time to 23 hours or {less. The present airplane schedules across the United States average 27 | hours. | The new transports, according to in- | formation received here, have a cruising speed of 155 miles per hour with full load, including 2 pilots, 10 passengers, their baggage, 400 pounds of mail and fuel for 475*miles of flying. They have a wing span of 74 feet and | a length of 51 feet. With full load the ships are said to have a rate of climb of 945 feet per minute and can reach a maximum saltitude of about 19,000 feet above sea level, The gross weight is 12.210 pounds. The new transport, like the bomber, is a twin-engined, low-wing, all-metai monoplane, It has retractable landing | gear ‘and 'is notable for exceptional | cleanness of design. The engine nacelles are faired smoothly into the leading edge of the wing. Two 550- horsepower, supercharged Pratt & | Whitney wasps form the power plants |, In addition to standard navigating instruments, there will be three pairs |of instruments whose functions are | diplicated. including directional gyro and compass; sensitive altimeter, re- cording elevation not only in thousands but in hundreds of feet; rate of climb indicator and turn and bank indicator and artificial horison. | Hot-water heat for Winter and s cooling system for Summer make for | passenger comfort. There is a double ventilating system, including not o a central system for the entire cabin, but individual ventilators for each pas- senger. Cabins are insulated against noise and sudden temperature changes The new shps are the result, in part at least, of the progress which is made possible by a well balanced program of development which is being followed by the War and Navy Departments and which makes possible an alive and aggressive aviation industry. Disabled American Veterans ‘The newly elected District of Col- umbia department commander, Richard O. Melton, jr., has been invited to al tend the department convention of the American Legion, beginning July 26. Ralph L. Chambers, national rehabili- tation officer of the D. A. V., expects to leave Washington July 29, for Cin- cinnati, Ohio, to be present at a con- ference at the national headquarters relative to the rehabilitation and finan- cial policies of the D. A. V. during the ensuing year. Due to the fact that a steadily increasing number of veterans are filing claims for compensation, there has been a substantial increase in the number of calls for assistance both in Washington and throughout the country. At the next regular meeting of the executive board an election will take about him?" “No—that is—of course, he doesn't. How could he?” What if Lee told Tom Stewart that she, Tony, loved him What must he think of her? Brazen! Despicably weak. A traitor to friendship. He had given her no cause to make such a frank confession. Yes, he had, too. His eyes covered her, smothered her, his hands were magnets that drew the very essense of her being to him. “He'd be flattered, I'm sure.” Sarcasm stung. “Don’t worry, I'm not going to tell him—put that feather in his cap. What miakes you think you're keen on him. Have you been seeing each other on the sly?” Suspicion, hate, were racing in again. ‘Tony shook her head. “I don't think you need to ask. You know I wouldn't."” (To be continued.) e e King'’s Coach in Dublin. The Eucharistic Congress in Dublin, Irish Free State, has drawn attention to the fact that the city possesses a lord place to fill the office of junior vice commander, left vacant by the advance- ment of Ralph N. Werner to the post of senior vice commander. All members of Federal Chapter are requested to be present at the next Tegular meeting, July 26, when a new adjutant will be appointed.
