INTERESTING PROGRAM
BY RUSSIAN ORCHESTRA
Modest AItschuler Conducts, With
Katie Bacon Soloist, In
Varied Numbers.

A very interesting all-Russian pro
gram. in the orchestral numbers. was
given In the single concert OF the
Russian Symphony orchsstra. at the
Belasco Thester yesterday afternoon,
when Modest Altschuler, conductor.
again proved his individual touch in
pure melody. in life and rhythm and
in the control of this excellent body
OF players. Katie Bacon, pianist. was
the soloist, in a Liszt piano concerto.
AItschuIer COaduets.
Mr.. Altschuier's program was a
novel one to Washington. bringing
three Russian names but little known
to us. The symphony was the Kahn
nikof, in G minor. 1t breathes the
spirit Of modern Russia in music, as
we know 1t.
A rare singing tone of the full or
chestra. and especially the first vio-
Inns, distinguishes these players, who
sense the beauty OF melody and give
freely in their separate parts those
particular cadences that speak out a
special music message to the world.
Kalinnikoff has spoken In beautiful
melody and in lyrical dance spirit
that he gives out in seductive
rhythms.
Rich chords build up in typical
harmonies. But around all the de-
velopment of his symphonic form
there lies that strange tone-painting
of vast spaces, of monotony told in
reiterations. of odd orchestral color
that seams alive even while II dwells
upon an .insistent under-strain rem
iniscent Of long endurance, of patient
people.

"Tableaux" from THE Three Palms."
after the poem of Lermontow. also
speaks the patience of the land and
its pee and also its seriousness. its
religious soul.
Nature is revealed in the singing
birds, the folk" festal is in evidence,
but over it all is that monotony
which, told in tone. makes for ftal-
istic element that is strangely psyche
logical in its sketching of nation.
Brilliant Soloist.
Katie Bacon, as soloist, in the Liszt
j. flat concerto, displayed brilliancy
Of technique and facility in her execu-
ton. She gave no special character
istics Of the music, and her light tone
Is somewhat overtaxed with full or
| chesta- Breaking precedent Miss
Bacon gave as encore the Chopin d
flat "Nocturne," making the concert
rather too long.
Three national portraits were emo
tionally depicted in the dances from
the ''Nutcracker Suite" OF Tschaikow-
sky. Russia again fatalistic. sad, re-
iterated: Arabia full OF color; China
rich in type. A Celeste solo in a
fairy episode brought a new orchestral
Of much charm into the music as
played by Miss Bacon. Votichenko's

program full of unusual interest.
and full of a speech that is crude in
it's personal element. primal in it's
emotion, yet fascinating as being sin
cere and direct from the heart of a
vast unknown.
The Russian Symphony Orchestra,
under Mr.. Altschuler. gives a rich
music message always, and yesterday

REMEDY FOR
COLD AND FLU
Calot abs, the New Nausealess Gallo
mel Tablets, Cut Short Colds
and May Prevent Flu by
Keeping Liver Active.

Physicians have learned from OK
perience, during the epidemic Of In
Tluenza, that one of the most import.
ant factors in the prevention of flu
and pneumonia Is to keep the liver
active so that the digestive organs
may be in perfect working order and
the system thereby enabled to throw
off colds, check sore throats, and re.
sist serious complications. For this
purpose they have found that the
new nausealess calomel tablets called
Calotabs, are far more effective even
than the old style calomel, which was
formerly the universal fsvorite, as
Calotabs do not weaken the patient
nor interfere with the appetite and
digestion.
Al the first sign OF n oold or sore
throat, doctors recommend one Cal
otab at bed time with a swallow OF
water--thats all. No salts, no nsu-
sea. nor the slightest interference
with your dict, pleasure. or work.

government here. and the board OF
education has full power under the

of the public schools
| The board. however, will unques-

| not be proper to take any action on
| any important matter pending .hiS in

The statement that l have been on

PRESIDENT REALLY
RECEDES ON FIUME
QUESTION IN NOTES

Continued from First Page.)
tofore put much faith in that article,
which permits OF revision. though
they have wondered how the treaty
could be revised so long as all agree
ments on the council must be unani-
m GUS. Italy is member of the coun-
ell, and the President expresses in his
last note a fear that revision of q
mandate is doubtful. Speaking of
giving Italy n mandate over Albania,
Mr. Wilson says:
Alteration Improbable.
Moreover, one part (of Albania)
would be administered by the Italia n
government, which is represented on
the council OF the league, the other
part by the Jugoslav government.
which has no such representation.
Th therefore, to alter or withdraw the
mandate at some future time would
be well nigh impossible"
The foregoing paragraph has ex-
cited much aStoniShment for II is con-
trary to one of the statements made
was put into the treaty by the Presi-
dent namely that a mandate was like
charter that could be revoked. 1t is
considered possible that the President
did not notice this damaging adn.is-
sion as he revised the note prepared
by his experts, for, under another ar
tiCle of the covenant. Italy would be
barred from voting on the question Of
admin istration OF a mandate or any,
thing else if she became party to a
dispute that had to be adjusted by the
council OF the league.

He is thus the constant target of

are necessarily felt in the nnai anAly-
