And because of the lack thrived these past years represents|Of money there follows imperfect what they were worth during that |cOmprehension and imperfect tech- period. It has been a time of educa- tion and amalgamation, during which the members have found themselves as musicians and have learned the art of ensemble playing. In the begin- ning, the good will of the citizens of this city and their courageous de- termination to stand by a civic force of spiritual value has caused them to loyally patronize the concerts, but the increased attendance this year cannot solely be attributed to this kindly feel- ing. Hardly a concert this season but has filled Constitution Hall to capac- ity. Newcomers to the city who have no personal interest in sustaining the orchestra have found in the music it provided the qualities that brought them back again and again. Visiting artists have enthusiastically praised the performances and soloists have been proud to add the name of the National Symphony Orchestra to their list of major appearances. The time of probation for the or- chestra has passed. To the warm en- thusiasm of the “home folks” has been added the approbation of other cities— enough, in fact, to guarantee a series of concerts this Spring. The orches- tra has taken its place among the best in the country and has a definite fu- ture to look forward to. How is it to meet the exigencies of such a future? Are the orchestra members expected to continuously play in the most pol- ished fashion, learn new programs and stand forth as representatives of music in the Nation’s Capital on the same number of rehearsals that saw them through the educational period? Are they to have their attention dis- tracted by division between their or- chestra work and employment of an- other kind to fill out their living budget? Are they to bring discour- aged spirits and tired bodies to the in- terpretation of the masterpieces? It is absolutely imperative that a living wage be assured them, and the sum planned for will take care of that. It will keep the pride of accomplish- ment warm in the men’s hearts. The relief from care will permit them to allow their minds to absorb or dis- cover anew the greatness of musical truth. It will nourish their personal artistry and cement them in a com- mon labor of rich reward. It will al- low their conductor, Hans Kindler, to inspire them with the fruits of his long reflections, his true musician- ship, his unwavering adherence to an ideal. Only those who have experi- enced it can know the anguish of not being able to give out the sentiments, knowledge and enthusiasm of a gen- uinely artistic nature because there stands in the way the consideration In Local Music Circles UGENE COOLEY, a pupil of Norman Frauenheim of this city, has been selected by Uniontown, Pa., where he lives, to represent that city in the noat contest of the Federation of Music Clubs to be held in Philadel- phia March 14. Mr. Cooley, who was presented in recital here by Mr. Frauenheim two years ago, will play again at the Arts Club early in April. The Young Men's Jubilee Chorus of the Friendship Baptist Church will give a special program of gospel and spiritual songs on Friday, at 8 pm. under the auspices of the Deacon Board of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, at the Vermont Ave- nue Baptist Church. The program gui be sponsored by Deacon George E. nley A program of chamber music will be presented by the Pro Art Woodwind Quintet at the Sunday music hour today at 5 pm. at the Y. W. C. A, Seventeenth and K streets. The quintet will be assisted by Ellen Peden, pianist. Men and women are cordially invited. On March 19 Maude Sewall will speak to the Business and Professional ‘Women's Glee Club of the Y. W. C. A. at 8:15 in the evening. “Bach and Handel” will be the subject. Miss Sewall will be assisted by Flora McGill Keefer, mezzo-soprano, and Dorothy Radde Emery, pianist. Pupils of Mme. Louise Coutinho pre- #ented a musical program of solos and ensemble piano groups in the audito- rium at Walter Reed Hospital Friday evening, assisted by Frances Shea, soprano, and Clement Giebel, bari- tone. Gloria Masgoret, a pupil of the Alice Louise Hunter School of Dance, gave a solo dance number. Others who took part in the program were Felice Hermann, Helen Hudiak, Egor Shlopak, John Earle, John O’Brien. Joann Croarkin, Beall Lowry and Helen Coutinho. T. Guy Lucas announces a Lenten series of organ recitals every Monday evening at 8:15 o'clock. The first re- cital will be played tomorrow by R. Deane Shure, who will play his own compositions. The Chaminade Glee Club, Esther Linkins, director, with Barbara Brown, accompanist, will appear on a program at the Parent-Teacher Association meeting at Oyster School tomorrow. On March 21 the Chaminade Glee Club will present musical selections at a dinner meeting of the Ohio State University Alumni Association at the Highland Apartments. ‘The choir of All Saints’ Episcopal Church, under the direction of Wil- liam H. Taylor, organist and choir director, will present “Penitence, Par- don and Peace,” by J. H. Maunder, at 8 p.m. today. The soloists are Clarice K. Griffith, soprano, and Robert H. Davidscn, baritone. The Washington Oratorio Society has announced that no new members will be accepted for its Spring concert after Monday, March 18. The society is preparing to present Mendelssohn’s “Elijah” at Central High School on Sunday, April 28, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Membership applications for this concert will be accepted during the next week by Mr. Kortzen- born at 1145 Connecticut avenue. Additional men's voices are desired. nique of expression. So, in this particuiar drive for a sustaining fund. the question resolves itself into money on the one side, and art, music, on the other. The sympathy of every one responds to an appeal to bring happiness and beauty to those who are “shut-ins” through physical disability. Money is donated for their comfort and every means seized by which to bring cheer and | mental consolation or enjoyment to | them. Yet few think that the healthy | ones of this earth, the busy people‘ whose lives revolve in the midst of the | business world or in social circles | where artificiality abounds, or follow | the drab hours of a monotonous ex- istence, have need of spiritual help. If one could know the weariness, th cares and doubts that reign in the' hearts of pecple that find solace only | in music, one would realize that pro- | viding this consolation is perhaps the, greatest charity of all. | In permanently establishing the in- | exhaustible musical spring which an orchestra provides for a community, a civic good of vast consequences is being done. One ot the first duties| of a new settlement was to furnish a religious center end. in this country | in particular, religion has been an integral part of patriotic life, Next| to religion stands music, that subtle, gentle art that steals so silently into the inmost heart and furnishes the soul with wings to free itself of the bondage of materiulism. Music and wickedness, music lnd sordidness, can never be unjted. If no spirtual refinement can e ac- complished by its means, there is a mental cleansing that follows in its wake. However slight and unrecog- | nized, a finer sensitiveness to beauty and truth is bound to come from its| a lending of one’s self to its influence, | and the magic is achieved. After four | seasons of the concerts of the Na-| tional Symphony Orchestra, if a cen- | sus could be made, the number of indifferent people who have been won | to the cause of music would prob- | ably be astonishing. 1 The orchestra has reached an ar- tist's stature today. It needs to be supported in this enviable state that it may not retrograte, but nther‘ grow to perfection. It needs an en- | tire community back of it taking care | of the material while it is occupied with the spiritual. Could one ask for | & nobler or more inspiring legacy to | leave the coming citizens than an artistic organization, such as the Na- tional Symphony can become, incor- porating all our finer teachings under | the guise of music? Warren F. Johnson, organist, will play “Imagery in Tableux,” by Garth | Edmundson, before the evening service | at the Church of the Pilgrims today. The Washington Alumnae Club of the musical sorority, Mu Phi Epsilon, will meet at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the residence of Ruth Bronson Logan, | 6001 Nevada avenue northwest.

At the Calvary M. E. Church, Co- lumbia road, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets northwest, there will be a special musical program this eve- ning at 8 o'clock.

This program will be conducted by Louis Potter, director of music at this church.
