Advantages Of Music School.
This concert is well worth hear
ing, for its musical excellence. 1t
is equally important that we know
how the enlisted boys are. given
opportunities to obtain a musical
education that would be difficult to
find elsewhere, under any condi-
tions.
The advantages offered to candi-
dates for The Army Music School
courses cannot be excelled in any
school of music, for the reason that
the army students are in direct
touch with practical work at all
times, especially conducting, ar.
ranging, and instrumental perform
ance in solo and ensemble.
Given talent, it required at least
three years to learn to play a wind
instrument fairly well. A young
man who is desirous Of learning
music could not do better than spend
a three-year enlistment in the Uni
ted States army Zone year at The
Army Music School, and two years
with a regimental band)
At the end of that period, If he
has been faithful in application. he
will have become familiar with the
best grades of military band music.
This year the graduation exer-
cises will be held on June 20, at
the Washington Barracks. Five
band leaders will be graduated and
twenty bandsmen.
The concert Tuesday, at Central
High Auditorium, will be a demon
stration of the work Of the band
and soloists Of The Army Music
School, the official school for bands
OF the entire United States army.

When Josef Kaspar presented

more words.
But to this serious concert OF
our own young folks!
The soloists were Isaac Minovich,
Robert Lawrence, jr., Miek1e De
Graeff and Paul Brightenburg.
In the first place these young
folks had space in which to prove
their powers, without too much
room to lose their fine effects.
Artist i'm KnickerbOckers.
Isaac Minovich is Towering in
his art. He played the first move
ment of both the Viotti A minor
concerto and the Mendeissohn, II
minor, to the former giving that
rare David cadenza with a purity
of expression, a subtle elegance OF
style that was professional and
also a thing of virtuosity. His tone
is growing individual, his music
rises to unusual nobility for lad
still in knickerbockers, while flow
ing runs and suave arpeggios show
the genuine musicianship OF his
training and his instinct.
Robert Lawrence, jr., put real
fire into the Mlynarski "Mazurka,
in which the surety Of his rhythm,
his dynamics and firm, true double
trills characterized his entire ex-
cellent work. Miss DeGraeff plays
with direct musical simplicity and
sweetness, while Paul Brightenburg
has a real musical sympathy IN
his playing that was shown in the
grace of the Kreisler "Schon Ros-
marin.
A Fine String Quartet.
Mr.. Kasper has done remarkable
work In his string quartet, with
two students taking. the violin
parts, Isaac Minovich and Robert
Lawrence, jr., completing it with
Herman Seveley and himself. Their
playing gave genuine delight. It
was finely balanced, the violin firm,
flowing, with style and type in
Mozart and a Russian group, an
ranged by Alfred Pochon of the
Flonzaley Quartet, which proved
concert music that would be wei
come anywhere.
Little Ida Minovich, Of seven, and
Meyer Koonin, about nine, played
purely and sweetly, with long free
use of bow, in an ensemble of four.
Then, in unison, with Miss DeGraeff
as soloist, the entire twenty-four
played the Bach-Gounod Ave
Maria" with unity and appealing
expression.

duly long which took away soma
of the freshness of his first appeal.
Mr.. Galloway uses the registers
of the organ in fascinating variety.
Mood and tone color combine to add
charm to his music. Then, too, he
strongly emphasizes the types Of

Security Pact Meeting

TODAY the Chicago Tribune carries the headline PRUSSIA

voices hope rather than states fact The hope that
Germany can be nvegIed into security pact with the
allies of the Versailles agreement that can be used

The Soviet Union knows, and even the German govern

that there only that spurs the desire OF London
and Paris to Germany with all their accoutrements OF

The Germans made their first bold stroke In connection
with the approaching security pact conference at locano

carrying out of the G. I. decision and
is creating confusion and distrust and
makes it more difficult to unity our
party.
This last also was passed, 35 for
and abstaining.
In view Of the fact that the discus
sion on the report of the party repre-
sentative had taken most of the con-
vention's time it was unanimously
agreed to refer all other business to
the incoming District Executive Com
mittee.
Elect Delegates.
Delegates were elected to the ma
tional convention, the entire delega-
tion being supporters Of the two reso-
buttons as reprinted above. One of
the delegates from Hartford who was
elected from his branch because of
having supported the former major
ity said that he lis convinced that
opposition to the present Central
Executive Committee in the form of
refusing to support the party reso-
luton would be opposition to the
Communist international" He there
fore voted for it. Two other dele
gates, supporters Of the former ma
jority, took the same view. The con-
vention decided that to show its de-
sire for unity on the basis Of the
Communist international decision it
would elect one of these comrades
as delegate to the national conven-
tion despite this former position
which they had maintained up to the
time of voting. The Harfort dele
gate was chosen.
A resolution was introduced asking
the coming national convention to
move the Office of the league to New
York City. This was greeted with
a great demonstration and was ad-
opted by reclamation, only one dele
gate voting against it.
New D. e. c. Elected.
The convention also elected a new
District Executive Committee giving
representation to the former opposi-
ton on the basis Of the vote they re-
ceived.
With all singing the International
and amidst great enthusiasm, the
convention adjourned.
