CROWD DGREETSDAMROSCH
FINAL Lecturer CONCERT

One Of the largest audiences which
has ever gathered for a musical con-
cert in Washington last night ap-
plauded Walter Damrosch and the
New York Symphony Orchestra to the
echo at their last appearance in Wash
ington this season, the fifth Of the
series Of concerts at Central High
School under the Washington Society
Of the Fine Arts.
Mr.. Damrosch chose for this con-
cert an all-Wagner program. begin
ming with the Rienxi overture and
tracing chronologically the develop
ment Of the master through his va
rious periods up to what is perhaps
the highest expression Of his genius
Parsifal.
Washington owes a debt of graft
tude to Mr.. Damrosch for his services
in these concerts, which have proved
themselves of great benefit to Wash
ington music lovers, not only as a
source Of pleasure, but, what is more
important, as an educational feature.
The noble Rienzi prelude was won
derfully interpreted, working up to
a pulse stirring climax as the battle
cry Of freedom, "Santo spirito." rang
In the brasses over the din OF con-
fict. in the tympani and string trem-
olo.
The spinning chorus from "The
Flying Dutchman," portraying the
next advance in Wagner's art, was
beautifully done, thought the melody
in the strings and woodwinds was at
times indistinct.
One of the finest portions Of the
program was the Prize Song from the
Mastersingers, in which the vocal por-
ton was played by six first violins.
The Dance Of the Apprentices and the
massive prelude from this opera were
also given.
The exquisite Good Friday Spell
from Parsifal, with Gustav Tinlot,
concert master. as solo violinist. was
warmly received. The program closed
with the Tannhauser overture.

By a spirit of fear.

trust walks death.
Communism will not conquer Aus

the two, broke Bolshevism and stopped
the ire which was threatening all
Europe. Bella Kun. the Communist
dictator OF Hungary. spent more than
one hundred million kronen when the

PEOPLE ARE PATIENT.
Tho patience of the viennese has
been monumental. Even in their
present condition they cherish cul-
ture more than ever. There Is more
music in Vienna today than in all his
