MUSIC
Philadelphia Orchestra Gives All
Wagner Program at Sec
ond Concert.

In selecting au all-Wsgner progra m
for the second concert OF the season OF
the Philadelphia Orchestra at the New
National Thcator yesterday afternoon,
Leopold Stokowski chose, only from tha t
pinnacle work OF the great mastt the
"Nibclungen Ring" presenting these
four music dramas in sequence 80 that
a. complete tonepicturc quite visuallzed
these heroes of WaIhalla. For Leopold
Stokowskl is innately the dramatist,
with the virile spirit OF Siegfricd him
self. Yet the orchestra brought out az
well all the lyric beauty of tho lovely
melodies which foretell, as one hearer
said, the approach of Wagner's lovers.
Given IN two parts, and without a
tation rich in dramatic contrasts and
in truly notable tone effects. "Das
Rheingold' heralded the approach of
the gods in their march into Walhalla,
with the song OF the Rhine maidens
beautifully sung by the woodwinds with
the harp. and suggested as well the sin
lister evil of Alberich and the Nibeun-
gen IN the perverted treatment of their
tensifying the tragedy. Then the drama
becomes more picturesque with the
Ride Of the Valkyries," through which
the neighing of the horses was ad-
ride.
Tho true beauty of Wagner is re-
yealed in his love episodes, and with
discretion, purity OF tone. and a truly
exquisite legato; the. heroic and the
lyric OF Wotan's Farewell to Br1n-
hide" were intertwined. The same
fineness was also shown in the pianis-
simo approach to the Siegfried "Wald-
weben." through which the. solo in
struments of bird and piper were clear.
against smoothly undulating body
of tone.
Three selections of "Gotterdam-
merung." opening with a portend of
catastropre in covered tone, passed on
through a graphic telling of the Rhine
journey. with its melodiously flowing
waters. to the somber Funeral March"
whose great climax seemed to bespeak
q God-like heritage; and then, as a
finale. gave to the closing scene an
apotheosis of the drama. with the
beauty and nobility of the themes con-
trastcd and clarity maintained even
through the tumult OF the climax.
Mr.. Stokowski had to respond repeat
cdly to applause and received many
recalls. Thaddeus Rich was the con-

q sort of matrimonial epic, a play
which epitomises the mother-in-law

insisted. Those two poor young

the author needed a happy ending
in order to make the box receipts

life 1t is often too insidious and
tragically different. The interfering

people about to be married wreck
more Young lives and ruin more

anything else"
Too Many Cooks tells the story
OF a young couple who try to build

Because Alice Cook, the young
wife-to-be. had a big family who
were all interested in her and in
the homo which she was to have,
and who thought SO much of their
own opinions that they simply
couldn't leave her and her nance
alone for a moment.
There was Ahces Mother and
Father Cook. and her two sisters,
and her two brothers. and her two
aunts. and her uncle. and an uncle,
and friend of the poor husband
to-be, Albert Bennett.

Although for years we have cooked

Pie plates, custard cups, pudding
dishes, casseroles, indeed almost any

treniely heavy in appearance, but
light in weight. 1t has dull

the extreme sanitation which they

PUBLIC SALE SEASON NOW ON

The season for holding public sales
has already opened, and while it is a
little earlier this year than usual,
those who want to dispose of their
personal property and real estate are
already commencing to advertise the
sales. For the past few years no
newspaper in Delaware has had the
amount of public sale advertisement
business as has the Chronicle. The
people of lower Kent County and the
whole of Sussex County have come to
look upon this paper as a sort of Of
fetal guide of those who wish to at
tend these sales. The Chronicle gets
the sale bills out in good shape and
in addition places the same advertise
ment before $4,000 or more persons
each week. This is something that no
other weekly newspaper in the State
of Delaware can do, and those who
advertise their personal property are
rapidly awakening to the fact. While
we annually do large sale bill bust
ness, we are making special efforts
this year to give the people of the
lower part of the state good informa-
ton along that line of buying, and
for that reason invite you to come to
this Office for publicity in this line of
printing. 1t is well to consider the
number of persons who will read
your advertisement when placing it
n the weekly papers.
