EVENING

When Leo Aivarado, violinist,
played as soloist Saturday evening
in the Pan-American program at
the Pan-American Union Building,
Washington made the acquaintance
OF fine, Viri1e and gifted player.
The program was entirely of Latin
American music. It served also to
introduce to the air, audiences

Band, Master Sergt. Theodore Bin

suavity and grace.
Another novelty was the spoken
song by Florence Louise Lyon, to

richness and the uplift Of this
spring ecstacy harmoniously into
the musical mood.
Sophoc1es T. Papas, guitarist,
brought another element OF anuther
land into being with the sweet.toned
cadences of his guitar. One strik-
ing thing Of Mr.. Papas' playing Is
his sustaining OF two themes at a

Songs were given by Artie Faye

I A|N|ED RUSSIAN
thursday

Abraham Haitowitsch. a young
Russian violinist of wide repute in
his native land, viii give a recital
Thursday afternoon in the ballroom
of the MayfIower, with Emile Polak
at the piano. The loss Of his eye
sight has in no way deferred Mr..
Haitowitsch in his artistic strivings.
By all accounts he is a performer
OF distinguished ability.
The credentials with which he ap-
pears before a Washington audience
come from the foremost music re-
viewers OF New York, Boston, Chi
cago and other centers of music,
where he Is accorded high and I'M
qualified praise.
His first Washington recital
should arouse general interest. The
program indicates the possession OF
eminent powers of Interpretation as
well as of technique. He will play
the "Kreutzer Sonata" of Bee
thoven. opus Al; "Chaconne," for
violin alone BACH; "Air de Lensky."
from the opera "Eugen Onogin"

RECORD SAL |

When the s. Kahn Sons Conn
pany purchased the large stock OF
Victor records Of the Ansell, Bishop
& Turned Co. 1t was found that
they numbered somewhere near 115;-
900 golden discs Of music.
The extraordinary sale Of these
records. at absurdly reduced prices,
is putting a music library Of great
value at the disposal Of almost
everyone.
For instance. SIS record. Of
the voice OF the great Adelina
Patti, sold for IS cents. Or per-
haps it was IS. At any rate. the.
latter figure represents the price
OF many Of the double-faced rec;
ords, the latter-and also several
lower figures-is the price Of many
of the gems OF music by the great
est Of artists.
They are all accessible, on tables
on the fourth floor Of this large
department store. And many,
many OF them are the greatly
valued Red Seal records.

I TWAENGLER
To CONDUCT

The New York Philharmonic
Orchestra. which plays here on
March 9 at the National Theater is,
in many respects. like a huge
musical club. There is an esprit
de corps among the players which
accounts in no small measure for
the magnificent homgeneity Of the
orchestra's performances.
In the old days, an orchestral
player was forced to depend on
teaching and theater jobs for his
living, his income from symphonic
work being limited by the relatively
few performances given by the
orchestra. In the season just past,
the Philharmonic gave exactly one
hundred concerts. keeping it's mem
bers busy practically every day
during the season.
The Philharmonic Society has an
orchestra FUND which pays various
benefits for players temporarily dis
abIed. Recently, the board of
directors, headed by Clarence III.
Mackay, instituted a group insur-
ance plan, by which every member
of the orchestra is automatically
insured without cost, the value Of
the policy increasing with the
mems continued membership in the
orchestra.
Back OF 1t all is the Philharmonic
spirit, the spirit which animated
the founders of the society eighty
four years ago. and which has pre-
vailed through the hardships of the
early years to the present time.
Wilhelm Furtwaengler will con-
duct here for the first time.

Flonzaley Quartet And
SchilEng Coming
In Concert

Interesting news comes IN the
important announcement of the
concert of the Flonzaley Quar-
tet, with Ernest Schelling, pian-
list, on Thursday, March 10, at
the National Theater. Tickets
are on sale at the T. Arthur
Smith concert bureau, 1880 G
st. N. w.
The program is not yet an
nounced. Mr.. Schelling is so
big an artist in type and in the
novelties he has brought to
the concert stage that it may
be inferred that something OF
unusual interest will come out
of this combination of the plan
list with this rare string quartet.
In the twenty-five years Of
it's existence the FlonZaley Quar-
tet has made it's name the stand
ard in chamber music. Their
perfection is the result of self
sacrifice and cooperation of it's
members, actuated by an I'M
wavering artistic ideal. The
quartet consists of Aldolfo Bettl,

OF his remarkable invention, Mr..

Improvement upon the pianoforte
IL legitimate and conservative. L
would emphasize that It is a mus
teal Improvement that involves the
piano in. no transformation, but in
an extension of its own peculiar
and individual powers. My mech
anism carries out. in other words,
what the piano was meant to be-.
Ny device is subtle and essentially
pianistic. and although it makes
great organ music applicable to the
piano. the term 'organ-tone' some
times used in describing it, is a
misnomer. for the characteristics of
the piano tone remain unchanged.
Further, the device Is not a swell
shade, but new system of in
creasing the resonance of the in.
strument. varying this resonant
quality by system of pivoted re-
Electors. Finally, although the
change Of color OF the piano is
strings, the main value of il when
played with an orchestra lies in
the increased sostenuto."
