man writes, "our attention was at

water of shore. From our blind we
could see that the splashlng was
caused by 4 seal performing the most
curious antics in his attempts to catch
q bird which we later identified as a

poising In and out Of the water In
quick diving leaps and was fast over

frantIcally to escape his pursuer, but.
however, made no attempt to fly. AZ

chase was over. as both bird and seal
disappeared in the same splash as the
seal struck the water. When the
splash subsidized we saw that the grebe
had cleverly lodged to one side and.

around q very small circuit to eiude
the seal. he headed straight for shore.
"The bird now began to use Its
wings, and. skittering rapidly over the
water, soon distanceti the seal. which
continued the chase until within 30
feet Of the beach, where the water
was no more than knee deep.

Philadelphia Orchestra Plays
Tschaikowsky's 'March
Scherzo" from Symphony
Pathetioue"

Tschaikowslsy's Symphony Pathe-
tique," written under the spell of a
premonition of his death, is a vivid
expression of his revolt against the
pain of life and the certainty of
death. For November the Philadel-
phia Orchestra produces a Victor
Record of the March Scherzo" from
this work-an inspired number of
irresistible rhythm, glowing harmony
and titanic power.
The beautiful tenor epilogue from
''Mefstofele" when Faust, rcpentant,
prays for the forgiveness that saves
him, is sung for Victor music lovers
this month by Beniamino Gigli. The
number is characteristic of this cele-
brated young tenor's Sympathetic,
iInpassioned style.
Imagine a swift Tarantella with
figures alternating between repeated
similar notes and whirling scales,
changing generously in the bass, dis
appearing in the treble, and you have
q rough notion of Olga Samaroff's
playing of Moszkowskfs Sparks
(Etincelles)" among this month'e
other remarkable Victor Records.
"Mattinata"-a song of morning,
with the gold of the sun in ones eyes,
is a beautiful Italian song, written
especially for Giuseppe De Luca and
sung by him for the November Victor
Records.
