> - SKYLINE SURVEY TRIP1S PLANNED Cammerer to Speed Work of Concessionaire for Accommodations. Arno B. Cammerer, director of the National Park Service, has arranged to make an inspection trip next week to Shenandoah National Park with & view to speeding up operations of the concessionaire, the Virginia Sky- line Co, Inc, of Skyland, Va., so that greater accommodations for the Ppublic may be available. Over the week ends, officials say, the accommodations at Skyland and ~oOther points are filled, but during the middle of the week the public may find lodging there easily. Res- ervations must be made at Skyland, as the firm maintains no Washing- ton office and the National Park Service does not handle them. «. The transformatilon of the erstwhile & overnight for four parties. mountain area into a modern park with up-to-date facilities is proceed- ing. Next week's conference on Mon- day and Tuesday will he held among Cammerer, J. R. Lassiter, superin- tendent of the park; Mason Man- ghum, president of the company, and Charles L. Gable, chief of the park operators’ division of the National Park Service. They will go over the situation and make plans on the ground for the development of Big Meadow, where the main project is contemplated. Officials here said this would not be ready for the public for this Summer season, however. At Big Meadow the National Park Bervice has installed sewer, water and other facilities and has built roads. A central lodge and overnight shelter cabins will be erected by the operator. Just how extensive this will be will depend upon the public demand. At Skyland, which is owned by the Government, but now is under the concessionaire, 17 cabins have been renovated and 10 more are in process of modernization by the Civilian Con- servation Corps. The dining room at Skyland now is in operation. Na- tional Park Service officials are con- sidering the advisability of erecting 20 more cabins with service for only two or three persons. The older cabins accommodate larger groups. At Panorama, Va,, in the park, the tea room has been taken over by the operator, and it has accommodations Similar provisions exist at the Spottswood tea house at Swift Run Gap, Va. Meals are served at both places. Park officials here said the plan 8 to eliminate the Panorama and Bpottswood facilities as soon as Sky- ~land and Big Meadow have been fully developed. Authorities consider the existing layout at the main en-, trances to the park an eyesore, and it will be removed. If the public démands that similar facilities be available they will elsewhere, out of sight. For the present nothing is being planned at Front Royal, Va., which . Write for beok- let.

Later, about 10 miles south of that point, the officials plan a development, which essentially will be an eating establishment. The park highway on top of the mountain ridge is still under con- struction between Swift Run Gap and ‘Waynesboro, Va., the southerly seg- ment of Shenandoah National Park. Just what development will be re- quired in that section of the park will await an indication of public demand after the highway has been placed in commission. National Park Service officials de- sire that public accommodations at Shenandoah National Park be equal to those available in the Western ‘parks. To this end they are advis- ing the officials of the Virginia Sky- line Co, Inc, to make a first-hand inspection trip to some of the West- ‘ern parks — Yellowstone, Yosemite, Sequoia, etc.—to see how accommo- dations for the public are handled there. Camp grounds for trailers and other means of travel are provided at Shen- andoah National Park, as elsewhere in the national park system. These are free public camps, officials said. All existing facilities at Shenandoah have been turned over to the conces- sionaire to operate, and any addi- tional ones required will have to be furnished by him, the authorities here say. W. P. A.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Pan-American Concert High Lighted by Variety Alfredo Medina, of Dominican Republie, Proves to Be Tenor Possessing Warmth of Voice. BY KATHARINE BROOKS. OMPOSERS from 12 of the 20 Latin-American countries were repre- sented on the program given last evening on the Esplanade of the Pan-American Union. The United States Navy Band, Capt. Charles Benter conducting, gave the program, with Alfredo Medina, tenor from the Dominican Republic, as guest artist. The program was particularly in- teresting aild the music more varied than is usual at these concerts. !:very seat was taken, and in addition, many - stood throughout the program, prov- ing the great popularity which these concerts enjoy. Mr. Medina, the guest soloist, has a voice of lyric quality with much sweet- ness and warmth. He sings well, but without amplification last evening his voice seemed a little light for open air singing. He has ample temperament and ample poise, and made the most of the songs which made up his portion of the program. Songs by Ernestina Lecuona of Cuba and Augusto Brandt of Venezuela were his first numbers, and later he sang works of Miguel Sandoval of Guatemala, Jorge del Moral and Mario Grever of Mexico and Jorge Santani of his own native Dominican Republic. George H. Wil- son of Washington, played the accom- paniments in his usual good form, glvizg support but not obtruding the piafo part, and always with the proper value to the rhythm. The work of the band last evening was very gratifying and in addition to the excellent work in the Latin- American music, Capt.-Benter and his men are to be commended for their atirring, spirited playing of “The Star Spangled Banner” at the close of the program. The arrangement used last evening has an elaborate embellishment in the middle part which is very effective. A waltz from Latin America is not often heard and “Besos y Pesos” by A. Martinez of Mexico, which the band played, has not only the lan- guid and graceful rhythm of the waltz, but also has a pretty theme enhanced by s generous use of the harp in the band arrangement. The tone poem, “Hymn to the S8un” by Daniel H. Robles of Peru, has a de- votional quality in the beginning and ‘works into & climax which the band made the most of last evening. Among D. C, FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1937. the other compositions of note were the symphonic suite “Himno a la Paz” by Pedro E. Gutierrez of Ven- eruela and the symphonic poem “The Funeral of a Little Rabbit” which the composer, M. de Adolia y Gamero of Honduras, has dedicated to Capt. Benter. Other nurabers were played by mem- bers of the band, an unusual trio “Sere- nata” by Sixto M. Duran of Ecuador, well played by William Cameron, harp, Salvatore Perrone, xylophone, and Louis Goucher, vibraphone, and a cornet solo with band accompani- ment, “Por Tu Amor” by A. Diaz Chavez of Mexico, played delightfully by Oscar Short. Preceding the playing of® the “Star Spangled Banner” three picturesque Mexican singers were presented, Los Tres Ranchero, who are guests of the Mexican Ambassador. They wore their gay native costumes with wide sombreros and played their own ac- companiments on guitar-like Mexican instruments. Their songs were popular music of Mexico and they were re- COL. F. H.
