WASHINGTON CONDUCTOR HERE FOR CLOSING EVENT Outstandmg in Washington Music Circles This Week Dr. Kindler Returns To Lead Final Concert “Sunset Symphonies” to Close Wednesday Night With Program Arranged by National Symphony’s Conductor. ITH Dr. Hans Kindler, general musical director of the “sunset sym- phonies” on the conductor’s stand, the Capital's first season of Summer orchestra concerts will be brought to a finish this weex. Back from his vacation, Dr. Kindler will conduct bis Na- tional Symphony Orchestra in the twelfth, and the last, of the water gate symphony programs Wednesday evening. Although he has had general musi- cal supervision over all the concertss this season, it will be his first personal appearance since the second of the| “sunset” concerts, five weeks ago. A record throng is expected to hail Dr. Kindler on his return. Advance reservations for tickets already assure a sellout for this festive occasion, C. C. Cappel, manager of the orchestra, reported yesterday. Dr. Kindler will make this final concert an entirely orchestral one, in- cluding in it those symphonic fa- vorites most loved by the thousands of music lovers who have loyally sup- ported the whole “sunset” season. Scme of the numbers will be played by request. Schuber! immortal “Unfinished Symphony ' will feature the classical part of Dr. Kindler's program, while in the lighter group will be ‘Tchaikoy sky's “Nutcracker Suite.” Rav “Bolero” is being presented by request The eleventh of the “sunset sym- phonies,” scheduled for this evening at the water gate, will be a gala per- formance in which three guest con- ductors and a contralto soloist will | take part. Gustave Strube, Baltimor composer and conductor; Emanuel Balaban, operatic conductor, Richard Horner Bales, 20-year-cld conductor of Alexandria, Va., wil share honors on the conductor’s stand, and Miss Lilian Knowles of New York will be the contralto.

Ravel OP THIS evening's guest conductors, Mr. Strube is perhaps the most widely known in Washington. This veteran musician, who is now affiliated with the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, has appeared with the Na- tional Symphony Orchestra vefore. He has been composing for more than 40 years and his works, :n addition to the “Sylvan” Suite, from which he selects a movement for tonight's per- formance, include three overtures, two symphonies, string quartet, two symphonic poems with viola obbligato, a three-act American opera, “Ramona,” 's | numerable violin pieces. Mr. Balaban has had a wealth of conductorial experience. While he is best Lnown in America for his cru- led such orchestras as the Berlin Phil- harmor ">, the Dresden Philharmonic | the Dochester American Opera Co., now krown as the American Opera Co., and he is at present director of the opera depa:riment at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N. Y. Mr. Bales, the youngest musician | to conduct the Nrtional Symphony | Orchestra, has has a phenomenal rise as a conductor. At the Eastman last three years, he has twice won honorary George Ea: 1an scholar- ships. He has -~onducted there on pressed Dr. Kindler that the young Alexandrian was invited to be one of this - _.amer’s guest conductors. He has com_osed also, his most ambitious work being a set of variations for string quartet. ISS KNOWLES, who now lives in New York, is a Middle West- | | erner, who has received her musical | | training in America. She has sung lsclo parts in performances of such | major works as the “Beethoven Ninth Symphor. the “Messiah” and the Ba(‘h i Minor Mass.” She made nc(able appearances with the Apollo | Musical Club of Chicago, the Chicago | Bach Chorus and the Rochester Sym- phony Orchestra. With the performances of these artists, and with Dr. Kindler's pro- |gram Wednesday evening, the Na- | tional Symphony Orchestra will close its “sunset symphonies,” having not only given Washington music lovers their first outdoor symphony concerts, | but o established the Capital as a resort in| America. On only rare occasions have | attractions in even larger cities drawn | s larger than 10,000, the aver- | ere age at the water gate. Bonaparte Founded G-Men (Continued From Fourth Page.) — memoranda for the Attorney General | which would bring about such a result. ‘The ball had begun to roll. Cald-| well, plus Finch, plus Bonaparte, was | too much for Congress. The act of | 1908 brought matters to a head. The Department of Justice was forced to organize its own Bureau of Law Vio- | lation Investigators. | The seven services were congealed, | and Finch was given the title of | after three years and eight months 8t? chief examiner. Then the prisons | branch was lopped off and put in| charge of R. V. La Dow, and that de- | partment is known now as the Bureau | & lawyer, he was sharp in repartee, Apo“o of Prisons, with Sanford Bates di-| rector. Finch Gathers 25 Aides. . With the title of chief examiner, Finch became first head of what was later to be known as the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation. By authority of Bonaparte, Finch grouped about him approximately 25 men—the orig- | inal G-men. Together, Finch and the | Attorney General went over the list of men available for this special in- | vestigating work. First, a set of| standards was worked out, corre-| sponding very much to present-day qualifications; the men, of course, were to be physically fit; they were to be well educated—preferably gradu- | ates of some college and members of | the bar; they were to be not unusual in appearance, 5o that they could pass unnoticed in a crowd; they were to have a knowledge of languages, if pos- | sible. They were to be appointed by | Bonaparte, upon Finch's recommen- dation. In this first batch appomud\ were half a dozen of the men, for- | merly hired, from the Secret Service. ‘These taught shadowing and “polic- ing” to the others. One of them, | Finch recalls, was a linguist who came from the Immigration Serv- | ice; some came from the Treasury and other departments’ accounting divisions. All were competent crim- inal investigators of one sort or an- other. In the report of 1908, Bonaparte describes these first G-men as “Spe- cial agents, under direct orders of the Chief Examiner, who receives from them daily reports and summarizes them for submission to the Attorney General * * * directly controlled by this department, and the Mmmey General knows at all times what they | are doing and cost.” In his last report, he said, “The last six months shows clearly that such a force is, under modern conditions, absolutely indispensable to the proper discharge of the department, and it is hoped that its merits will be aug- mented and its attendant expense re- duced by further experience.” Office Name Changed. Under George W. Wickersham, who succeeded Bonaparte, it was built up to “a substantial force,” says Finch, who remained in the position of its Still further to aug- | in book form. He was frank in his | | words long & commonplace. | 1ly in Europe, and it irritated him to | membrance of Betsy's desertion and the G-men, as such, were to gather | details and make arrests in the then all-important “bucket-shop” cases which sprang up all over the country, end to break up the strong rings of violators of the Mann act. Thus were born the G-men of to-‘ day, really a governmental body 27 years old. With the retirement of President Roosevelt in 1909, Bonaparte went | back to his law practice in Baltimore in the cabinet. For the remainder of his life he re- mained active in politics, however. As was an eloquent speaker, noted for his wit, vocabulary and sarcasm— | “keen as a Damascus blade,” accord- | ing to contemporaries. He became founder of the National Municipal League, and later its president. He was for 12 years an overseer of Har- vard University. He was much in| demand as a public speaker in civil | service reform, remaining an advo- cate of the merit system to the end | of his days. Florid, Complex Style. He wrote continuously and volumi- nously for newspapers, magazines and writing, hating waste and hypocrisy in a deadly way. His style was florid and complex, with sentences 500 Books, speeches and essays now moulder forgotten. His relationship undoubtedly got him a certain prestige, but he never mentioned it. Once, denounced as a “transplanted Frenchman” and there- fore sinful, he promptly replied that he was Italian and Scotch, and with- out a drop of French blood. He never visited France or the Bonaparte fam- be told he looked like Napoleon. It i3 probable that he harbored the re- the annulment of the marriage by Napoleon. He had few intimates during this latter portion of his life, visited no places of amusement, and was seen rarely at social functions. He became a valued adviser to Cardinal Gibbons, and seems to have made this great Catholic his main companion. In this capacity, and as trustee for many years of Catholic University of Washington, he rated the newspaper reputation of “one of the greatest Catholic laymen in America.” He is described by those who knew him as tall, sturdy, with a large, strong neck and a massive head: “A vast round, rugged head; a double- decker head; a cannon ball head, like & warrior'’s, with room for two sets of brains, bald and shiny.” His hair and eyes were jet black, his hands and feet small. He had the clear, ruddy complexion of an outdoorsman. He constantly wore black, carried an umbrella—not & cane—and looked like a “studious professor.” He did much of his thinking on the street, striding briskly along, his mas- sive head—“with curious rises over the temples”—swaying from side to side. Thus in transit he seldom rec- ognized his most intimate friends un- til roused.

He was always good for an interview, always “good copy.” They liked to say, “Beneath the fore- head lurks the Bonaparte smile. It is there all the time.” His interviews show him to have been conscientious, a man of many peculiar tastes, but with few sympathies. His property gradually slipped through his fingers, although he was diligent with his accounts and never missed a day at his office. When not | at work in the modest legal quarters| he maintained, he divided his time| between his town and his country, house. This latter was Bella Vista,! about 15 miles from Baltimore. From there he used to drive to town each morning behind a pair of fast-step- ping “roadsters.” He was fond of the life of a gentle- man farmer, and on his 300-acre place, stocked with blooded horses, 33 cows, fine sheep, hogs and poultry, he maintained a studious neatness, from stable to dog houses. He was a good | judge of horseflesh and fond of French harness. For seven months of the year, from May to December, he lived as a Mary- land farmer, in this grass-covered val- ley. He rose punctually at 5:30, walked an hour, then drove to Balti- more, silent on the trip. He habit- ually retired at 9 in the evening and, a fresh-air “fiend,” insisted on open windows and doors. Thus he passed his last days. As a neighbor once said, “Sensible folks like him, and the damn fools | don't. | | | | [ —_— Punish Seed Defrauders INE of the cruelest frauds, the sale of poor seed to a farmer, who in | the purchase thereof sees a year's hard work go for next to nothing, is | | being vigorously prpsecuted by the Seed Division of the Department of Agriculture.

In a dozen years, guided by the co- operative efforts of only a handful of men, it has interwoven the vast web- work of musical organizations in the schools themselves and a score or more of similar groups outside the schools. No less than 10 members of the Ma- rine Band, for example, and nine members of the present symphony, plus a hundred or more individual artists in the city have been trained for their positions by the school sys- tem's musical instructors. All have been at one time or another members of one of the 30 junior or senior high school bands and orchestras. At the kindergarten age, when they are but 5 years old, Washington chil- dren have already begun their musical education. Here, up to the age of 10, in what are called “pre-orchestral” | groups, they are taught the funda- mentals of sound and time in the toy symphonies, or “rhythm orchestras.” Tiny drums, xylophone “pipes,” cym- bals, clogs and drumsticks, tambour- | ines, triangles, bells—literally tc)s—\ are their instruments. They work out | their own orchestrations; they count out their own measures. In the public schools are 60 of these groups, averaging about 40 children | each. The private schools have simi- lar classes. Talent and interest in music are caught up by the 22 instructors of | musical activities in the junior high | schools. Each of the 11 junior highs | maintains an orchestra, with enroll- ments of from 20 to 60 members. Four —Eliot, Gordon, Langley and Stuart— | have school bands in addition. Four | of the colored junior highs have also! an orchestra, numbering about 40 members each. Both white and colored junior highs | maintain interschool orchestras, con- | sisting of the best musicians from all their schools. All in all, these | junior instrumental urzamuuuns} alone can account for more than 700 boys and girls with a continued in- | terest in music. ! ‘There is no break in the thread. An almost entirely new body of 15 instructors takes charge of the mu-' the senior high schools. Each of them has its bands and orchestras, as well as classes in music apprecia- tion, choral singing and piano. Cen- tral is even equipped to offer a class in organ playing. Each of these subjects is major, five-times-a-week class. McKinley was the first school in the United States to recognize the more than simple cultural value of music and place it on a par with any other academic subject in the curriculum. More than 900 boys and girls are | numbered among the school orchestras all over the city. The parochial schools, too, must be counted—Holy Comforter, St. John's, St. Gabriel's and Gonzaga—the latter with 25 in its orchestra. Wilson Teachers’ Col- lege has a 35-piece orchestra; Web- ster Americanization School Associa- tion has a uniformed band-orchestra of 60 members; Abbott Vocational School has an orchestra. At the end of each sc. .1 year, di- rector of music in the public schools, E. N. C. Barnes, effects a further tie-up of the system with the musical organizations of Washington and the rest of the country. He attempts to salvage all possible interest which has been started while students have been under his supervision. A list is made of all graduating stu- dents in the city who have been at any time in their last year connected | with one of the classes in music. Many of these have elected to go on | to college, either in Washington or elsewhere. A letter is prepared to | introduce each of these students to | the musical director of the college he is to attend. In this way a great many promising musicians are “marked” people before they set foot on their future campuses. ‘Where no college preference is ex- pressed, letters are sent with the stu- dents’ names to all local musical or- ganizations—choral clubs, string trios and quartets, church choirs, even to pr:\atz dance orchestras and bands. No slightest shred of interest is al- lowed to fall sterile if it can be caught in some way. Music in the schools is now con- sidered both by students and parent as a professional, practical subject, and studied along with literature, history and algebra. America [ HE American dance is re:| attained by history making ballets of the past,” saild | George Balanchine in an interview today. Gecrge Balanchine is the director of the American Ballet, whlciw is to take over the dance features and | choreography of the Me'mpoman‘ Opera for the coming season. | “Every phase of the national char- acter here—its vastness, imagination, resources and curiosity, plus a healthy interest in the arts, makes me hopeful that we can equal and perhaps surpass the creations and technical skill of lhe great companies of the past,” Balanchine continued in dlscussing plans for the American Ballet's forth- | coming tour and its preparations for the dance features of the Metropolitan Opera Assoclation. “The ballet reached its greatest heights in Russia. At the Marinski Theater in Leningrad and at the| Bolshol Theater in Moscow, captivat- ing spectacles have been put on with ccmpanies of more than 250 on the stage, “In America we cannot stage ballets of such proportions at the present | time. But in a few years productions exceeding such programs will be | realities. This, I am sure, will happen if we plan intelligently. Americans | are interested in the dance, and be- cause of definite similarities 1n aesthetic pursuits which prevail in| Russia and this country, the dance will flourish here. “There is that love of bigness that * | is so important a part of the bailer. | The skyscrapers, vast flelds, gigantic machines, all make for thrilling | spectacles.” Although brought up in the classical | school of the great Russian balles, Mr. Balanchine believes that the dunce ic| gaining the glamercus-estate , §8 n Ballet universal, influenced, naturally, tional character. “American themes occupy & promi- nent part of our repertoire and have tempered our technique so that already there are distinctly American varia- tlons of the classic form. “Moreover, the native talent is splendid. We have gifted dancers pos- sessing promising potentialities. Many are technically skillful and others gifted with great imagination capable of becoming talented maitre de ballet.” While modern influences have striven to make the dance a medium solely for the expression of ideas, Mr. by ‘Balanchme insists that the ballet is purely a spectacle. “It is pictorial, but it is more than that,” he asserts. “It expresses move- ment beautifully. It appeals to the eye and to the ear, It is a synthesis of color, movement and music. No other art form accomplishes this as purely and as simply as the ballet. “If ideas emanate from the dance they are implications only. The primary appeal is to the senses. In my opinion that is all the dance should strive for.” At the Metropolitan Opera as well as on its tour, the American Ballet will furnish Mr. Balanchine with op- portunities to prove his theories. The engagement of the company by the Metropolitan management is consid- ered a long step in the development of the dance in America. The ballet, of which Mr. Edward M. M. Warburg is director, was organized only two years ago and gave its first New York recital last March. Mr. Balanchine has composed all of the company's repertoire and is con- tinually engaged in producing more works as well as training American dancers and artists to become choreog- raphers. The American Ballet is sponsored by Musical Art Management Corp., Alexander Merovitch, president. Grand Opera Festival. ‘HE United States Marine Band, conducted by Capt. Taylor Bran- son, with three assisting artists, Anne Yago McGuffey, contralto; Justin Lawrie, tenor, and Robert Frederick Freund, baritone, will present the grand opera festival concert at the National Sylvan Theater, in the Wash- | ington Monument Grounds, Thursday night of this week at 8 o'clock, under the joint auspices of the Community Center Department and the Office of National Capital Parks. It will be the fourth annual con- cert of grand opera music offered by the Summer Festival Committee at the Sylvan Theater in co-operation with the Marine Band, and this sea- son's program is of special interest as it includes a wide variety of the most popular of grand opera arias sung by these three outstanding Washing- ton singers. Mrs. McGuffey, who has appeared on all the grand opera programs at the Sylvan Theater except last season, when she was out of the city, will be heard in two arias, the “Habanera,” from Bizet’s “Carmen,” and “Ah Mon Pils,” from Meyerbeer's “Le Prophete,” accompanied by the Marine Band, and with Mr. Freund will sing the duet, “Back to Our Mountains,” from Verdi’s “Il Trovatore.” Mr. Freund will offer the “Vision Fugitiv,” from Massenet's “Herjodiade,” and will sing with Mr. Lawrie the famed duet from “Forza del Destino.” Mr. Lawrie will be heard also in two solo numbers, accompanied by the band, the temor solo from “L’Elisir d’Amore,” by Donizettl, and the “Vesti Quartet Sings Today.
