OF the many carefully selected and
excellently rendered programs that
Conductor Hamilton of the Los An
geIes Symphony has given our people.
perhaps the one to be given on next
Friday afternoon at the Auditorium
will be the best, containing as it does,
Beethoven's Eighth symphony in F
major. Op. SO, with the four complete
movements.
In addition to this gigantic work, the
Saracen' Suite, OPP. 80, by the late
MacDowell, will hold prominent po-
sition because of the fact that he was
considered the greatest composer in
America.
Mr.. Arnold Krauss, violinist and
concert master of the symphony, will
be the soloist. The symphony is grow
ing in vigor each day, and with the
excellent programs that have been
given so far this year, the additional
members and instruments that were
added at the beginning of the year,
the attendance is being gradually in
creased nearly two-fold, all of which
is a great qualification to those few
who have worked with such diligence
to make the orchestra what it is to-
day by having enabled it to live.
The complete program follows:
War March of the Priests (Athalia)

Saracen Suite OPP. S0.......... MacDoweH

Teresa Carreno, who comes to the
Simpson auditorium Saturday after
noon, February 49, and Friday even
ing, February 2S, is known as one OF
the most intensely temperamental
players of the day, hence those who
are familiar with her interpretations
of Beethoven sonatas are astonished
at the dignity and restraint which she
infuses into her interpretations, which
are, nevertheless, imbued with some OF
her indomitable fervor. Carreno her
self furnishes the answer, for she IN
sists that for her the Beethoven music
is almost In the nature of spiritual ex-
ercise. So great is her reverence and
so intense her sympathy with these
master writings that she approaches
a rendition of the music with some
thing of the demeanor of devotee
about to celebrate a rite.
Carreno insists that Beethoven is
not only lofty and sublime, but also
intensely human Her playing or the
great Appasionata sonata, which mas
formed one of the most interesting
numbers of her recent recital pro-
gram, is a truly remarkable perform
ance. Only too frequently the playing
of this superb sonata is unsatisfactory
to the music lover. 1t is either acade-
mic. a cold, bloodless performance OF
thing of unbalanced storm ana
stress. Carreno. with her ninilless
technique, her wealth of tone. color
and her broad sympathy with human
ity, makes of the Appasionata a thing
to be long remembered. 1t Is truly IN
her hands heart to heart talk, and,
great as have been her achievements
In the past nothing more impressive
than her playing of the Beethoven
music has been heard in London for
