/ RANK. La FORCE
ON THE AIR

Frank La Forge. who is by way
Of being one of the very great mea
of music that America has produced.
is to be the chief feature of the
continental broadcast this evening
when he plays his first radio piano
recital from WRNY- at, $3.50. Le
Forge has figured In loud speaker
product with other artists-but has
never been presented alone
Unique among pianists in many
ways. La Forge is perhaps best
known ais an ever ready help TO
vocal soloists. Time and time again
his arrangements of the compost
tions of others with special refer
ence to the individual vocal equip
ment of the star wanting the riece.
has enabled singers to score with
songs they otherwise would not
have been able to cope.
AS composed he is known for
the exquisite songs, and piano. music
he has turned out, and as a teacher
for the thoroughness of his training.
But his real and great worth to
music is his interpretive work with
the masterpieces Of great compos-
ers. Most pianists who are also
Interpreters of music are limited in
their interpretations to one or two
composers. La Farge's bump of
music sense is a mountain--in thai
he is. able to present Chopin, De
busy, Cyril Scott, Wagner, List,
Cries or Tschaikowsky with equal
fidelity to the spirit of the com
poser. His recital this evening will
be worth tuning.
YOUTH In
KIT HOUR
Two OF the most youthful artists
in Washington. will provide the, pro-
gram OF the Kit Hour OF music
which starts at 6:15 this evening.
They are Dora Minovich,- pianist,
and her brother, Isaac Minovich, vio-
linist. The living quality Of youth
is the great force of all art, Of
course, for art Is ever living and
hence always youthful in that re-
spect. It is rare, however. that
human beings attain measure Of
art while yet in their youth. These
two have just that. Miss Minovich
is rated among the most intelligent
pianists Of the National Capital and
her brother was recently chosen 10
represent Washington In the ma
tional music competition held at the
Sesquicentennial In Philadelphia.
The Kit hour will follow an. early
