BY ALICE EVERSMAN. THE enjoyment of music purely for its own sake has grown to be a rarity in the busy musical scasons of this city. Great names, whether of the chief drawing power of many [ our concerts. It is, therefore, doubly of the Candlelight Concerts which the Washington Chamber Music Society specializes in and which have become music of the Winter season, when one can relax in charming surroundings and listen to the sweet strains the master musicians conceived without the tension that usually attends & celebrated artist's appearance. Yesterday at the Phillins Memorial Gallery, the first concert of this } year was given by the socicty, the personnel of which comprises Bernard Robbins and Jeno Sevely, violins; | Hendrik Essers, viola, and Sidney Ha- | mer, cellist. The quartet, known as the Pro-Musica Quartet. was assisted | by Helen Stover, soprano, of New | York, in one number, the beautiful “I| Tramonto” by Respighi. The major work played by the quar- tet was Beethoven's “‘Quartet, op. 18, No. 3 in D major,” which was fol- lowed by an arrangement of Debuss: “Claire de Lune.” Mason's* Rosina” and Haydn's “Riders.” The work of the quartet is distinguished by purity of tone and musical understanding which further playing together should | smooth out into an excellent ensem- ble. | Respighi's setting to a free trans- lation of Shelley’s poem, “The Sun- set,” was an exquisite mingling of | | verse and music in a subdued atmos- | phere, relieved at moments by an out- burst of the drama which is embodied in the poem. Mme. Stover gave the difficult musical setting with sureness and comprehension, ably assisted by the quartet. Her voice would be heard to better advantage in a larger hall, as its resonant color was not so ex- pertly adjusted as might have been to the combined needs of the inter- pretation and the environment. A large audience, attentive and re- sponsive, proved that the appeal of such delightful concerts is sufficiently great to attract music lovers in large numbers. The Washington Chamber Music | Society will give four more concerts at the Phillips’ Memorial Gallery, the dates being January 6, February 3, March 2 and April 6.

STEPHEN'S PLAYERS ENERGETIC IN COMEDY Some Acting Honors Gained in Play “It Happened in Hollywood."” ANOTHER case of mistaken iden- < tity ‘managed to unravel itself last night at St. Stephen’s School, | where the St. Stephen’s Players pre- sented a three-act comedy entitled | “It Happened in Hollywood.” The | play is indeed well named, for no- where else on earth could such an in- credible melee be imagined. The plot concerns itself with & | princess who runs away from a mar- | riage of state, the prince who follows | ber, a civil engineer who has movie | aspirations, together with his press agent, and a scatter-brained female, | who somehow brings order out of this | chaos. Somehow this ll-assorted crew find themselves all under the same roof, masquerading in guises of their oppo- sites, and it is only after many com- plications that the double wedding bells manage to sound in the distance. William C. McCarthy, sailing along on pure bluff, as all press agents must, clearly the most at ease on the stage. | This was a delight. in contrast to many of the nervous gestures on the part of some of the other principals. Too forceful enunciation on The Progressive Citizens’ Associa- | tion of Georgetown was addressed last | night by Harry N. Stull, recently elacted vice president of the Federa- tion of Citizens' « Associations, who discussed communism in relation to the District public schools. | There seems to be general agree- | ment that teachers shall not advo- cate communism in the schools, he| said. but difficulty arises over the| meaning of the word “teach™ in the School Board's recent ruling. As long | as “teaching” communism simply part of the leading lady detracted somewhat from the charm with which this character should have won her audience. siasm for the slang conversation she necessarily introduced was responsi- ble for her emphasis on delivery. Princess Dolores may be compli- mented on her striking appearance in the third act. Her entry in a red dinner gown makes it apparent why | the prince fell for her, even while she was masquerading as a servant.

Saxton, Loew's city manager in the Monumental City, will act as kings of ostate carries away acting honors for the feminine half of the players. She is Christine L. Thayer, a reporter on a Hollywood scandal sheet. Though she does not always get her facts straight, her delightful Southern ac- cent .never fails to sound forth, even in blase Hollywood. Jarvis, the bewhiskered butler, in the presence of royalty, both real and assumed, is one of the best features of the show. Though no credit is given for the effective scenery, it looks as though the players have the assist- ance of a good carpentry shopl.“ CITIZENS OPPOSE RIVER ROAD DUMP Kenilworth Association Names Committee to Investigate.

MEMBERS of the Blackfriars’ Guild certainly do right by Lennox Robinson’s comedy of Irish manners, “The Whiteheaded Boy.” They are opening their season with a thorough- ly enjoyable and, to all intents and purposes, practically faultless per- formance. Presenting Mr. Robinson's work. which is -one of the favorit’s of the Abbey Theater Players, can't be any too easy for an amateur group. Of course, they get a lot of help from living. human drama that abounds in comedy as rich as life itself, but that Irish brogue would have stumped any one less courageous. It hasn't stumped the Blackfriars, though. They jump into their work with vim and vigor and play tleir roles right up to the hilt. They rip out their pungent Irish lines with en- thusiasm and in a tongue that fairlv breathes old Erin itself. Maybe in one or two instances some of them bear too much on a sort of a rising sing- song that becomes monotonous, but that is, after all, a small point, The main thing is they sound real. “The Whiteheaded Boy,” as you must know, concerns the fate of a lad who always had the best of every- thing, while his brothers and sisters came off not so well. The fair-haired son still has the white meat of the fowl in the end and his family still is left with necks and things. What with the Irish sense of humor and Mr. Robinson’s skill, the comedy and everything else in the piece is su- preme. There's a hilarious state of affairs about a breach of promise. Every one in the cast of the Black- friars’ production steps in and turns out a finished piece of character por- NG STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1935 trayal which does ample justice to the play. Teresa Wilson as Aunt Ellen, Jeanne Bateman as Mrs. Geoghegan, John Mann as Denis, the “white- headed boy”; Clarence J. Wittler as George Geoghegan, and John J. Wil- son as John Duffy are the best of the lot, each of them setting about his work with enthusiasm and an attempt at authenticity which is eminently successful. Madeline O'Brien Fennell, Kath- leen Crowley, Margaret M. Myers, Mary Lamb, Marguereta D. Nord- strom, David J. Keogh and John Don- nelly are the others, not having so much to do, but doing the various tasks assigned to them with the same | thoroughness and much the same au- | thenticity as the rest of the players. “The Whiteheaded Boy” was direct- |ed by Miss Angela Keir, who may count this another feather in her hat, for she has paced her play properly and imbued much spirit into her play- ers. The program does not list the {brain and hands responsible for the | set, but whoever did 1t did a topping job, right in keeping with the rest of the production. The Robinson drama will be re- peated by the Blackfriars tonight at 8:30 o'clock at St. Paul's Auditorium, Fourteenth and V streets, It's worth seeing.
