Mr.. Walter Damrosch is rm be-
lever IN Franco-American musical
entente cordiale, and even before we
became allies his programmes bore
ample evidence of his sympathy for
French music The New York Sym
phony Society's concert at Carnegie
Hall yesterday afternoon was a further
step In Mr.. Damrosch's efforts, being
devoted entirely to French composers.
The concert opened with Vincent
D'Indy's Symphony, on the Song of a
rrehch Mountalneer, for orchestra and
piano, IN which the Theatre material
IS somewhat richer than is often the
case with the prince of the Partisan
cenacle, and the handling of the ma
terial IS mastery as could be wished
Aor' Inc piano part was sustained, and,
needless to say, worthily sustained,
by Air, Cortot, and the band gave it
an admirable and meticulously detailed
performance.
Then came The novelty of the after
noon, an expedition into feminism in
the production of a work by a young
frenchwoman, Mile Lii Boulanger.
Mile. Boulanger's work was a cam
tata, Faust Helene" composed to
text by Eugene Adenis, based upon
the second part Of Goethe's "Faust." 1t
was written i'll 1913, and won for its
composer, who was then only nineteen,
the Grand PfiX de Rome Mile Bou-
LANCER died SIS. months ago at the age
OF tWenty-four. Of such as she are
built life's tragedies.
Faust CT Helene is not a work of
genius, but it is a work of promise.
