lections to be played this evening
by Lieut.. Charles Benter's u. s..
Navy Band at the Capitol Plaza
concert in Washington, which wRc
will begin broadcasting at s p. m.
We viii look forward to nothing in
any program to hold greater inter-
est than the first Of these four
Les lPreludes" by List. There
have been so many outlines OF this
masterpiece OF music printed in this
column that another is not neces-
sary.
Most Of US heard the Lewisohn
Stadium Orchestra play 1t Thurs.
day evening from WIZ or KDKA
or VIDAL. This evening We will
have opportunity to hear concert
band play it-with a different instru-
mentation. We believe Lieutenant
Benter will give the composition a

depreciation.
Following the List number will
come Sibelius' "Valse Triste." This
most colorful tone poem has been
called a Dance Of Death" and 10
one OF sombre grandeur. After the
Sibelius composition Lieutenant Ben.
ter will play Robes arrangements
of "El Condor Pasa," the traditional
Peruvian music which is believed
to be the oldest composition in Ihe
world, dating back through records
Of more than a thousand years and
being rated an ancient bit Of music
at that far distant day.
'PARSIFAL" SERVES
AS CONCERT FINALE
The concert ends with scenes
from "Parsifal," the most profound
OF all Wagnerian productions.
Either the first or the last of
these numbers would be a climax
for any program. One rarely hears
concert where four such out
standing compositions are given to-
Rether. 1t is really Just a little too
much music for the average men,

Both the WRC and wEAF pub.
lefty promoters promise great
things for the 15.minute talk to be
given at 6:15 by Capt. Percy Greed
on British and American Sport
so there IL nothing left for US to
90 but place 1t at the top Of the
list OF evening selections. Captain
Creek is well-known writer on
sport and Is said to talk as well as
he writes. Wen find out for our
selves by tuning it through WRC.
The Roxy effort at $50 win

membered that Lew White, the
organist, was starred last week by
permitting him to act as chauffeur
for the imaginary airplane used in
the trip around the world. White
was. in other words, made a star
by being noise, off stage" If
the same system is followed by
Hoyos, ne will probably be featured
by turning the pages of the music
OF some soloist or opening the
door for visitors. We'd much rather
he wasn't featured. but would be
permitted to stnE, as he has q most
satisfactory voice.
In the WMAL exercises there
win be a special feature in the
piano recital of Nation Boyce
which was to be heard at ESQ.
As we've noted before, Boyce IL one
of our favorite pianists and we
believe in his ability to do almost
anything he attempts with that in.

WEAF at 7:15 by Harry Lord
Varney that should be interesting.
