RACHMANINoFF's CONCERT.

Every great artist, who is also a
composer, has his own composition
that is a favorite with the public and
which that public is disappointed if it
does not hear some time during every
concert appearance Of the artist in
question. Padsrewski has his Min
ute" kreisler Ias his Caprice Wen
nois," Rachmaninoff has his &C Sharp
Minor Prelude" Yesterday afternoon
when Mr.. Rachmaninoff gave his an
nual Washington concert before his
usual standing roOm-only audience,
the entire program was but pro-
longed prelude for most of the audi
ence to that moment when, as the
very last of his three encores, the
great Russian struck the three maJes-
tic chords that announce and form
the basis of the prelude in & Sharp
Minor" Then the house rang with an
applause as different In quality from
all applause which had greeted preVl.
Gus numbers as sudden Spring hood
Of sunshine is utter gray March days.
1t is q remarkably satisfying compost
ton, this prelude, beautiful with a
majesty that is not pompous, melodl-
Gus in a dignified vein, and never
quite so understa ndingly played as
under the fingers of it's composer. IL
was quite evident that this was the
opinion of the audience at large yes
terday afternoon.
The great Beethoven, who Is SO con
stantly honored this centenary or nus
death year, was given first place on
the program. The Sonata, OPUS 70,
was the work presented. With Its
funeral motive presented in manner
which seemed to have wistful,
PHILOSOPHICAL atmosphere, it was an
a,resting selection. Always the
scholar, Mr. Rachmaninof gave those
who delight most in the technical ex-
cellence Of his genius rare satisfaction
in his Interpretation of the Schumann
"Etudes Symphonique." He put much
color into the difficult work, yet the
elusive lyricism Of Schumann was not
the dominating quality in his reading.
The real climax of beauty was the
Brahms. Mr.. Rachmaninoff played
both the "IntermeZzo, Opus liz, ana
"Ballade." The shading of tonal quail
tiles, the roundness in the pianissimo
effects, the soaring lightness of the
themes, all were emphasized under
this master pianist's hands.
OF the Chopin group the gay, frlv-
olous "Rondo,' for all it's artificial
ties, was an unusually pleasing num-
bar with crystal cascades OF noteS
that invite superlatives for descrip-
ton. In the encores the first was
Chopin's waltz in E Minor also
unusually played.

Naturalized Citizen Seeks Change

Alfred p. Dachnowski, 4449 Green

Supreme Court yesterday to change
his name to Stokes. He also seeks to
change the name of his wife and two

he is now an American citizen he
would like an American name. He is
represented by Attorney Edwina v. A.
Avery.
Charles Alfred Vincent Jewel yes

name to Griffith. He tells the court
that following a disagreement with
members of his family he had his

THE REsPIGHI PROGRAM.

Ottorino Respighi, Italian composer,
pianist and accompanist extraordl-
nary. was honored with appreciative
applause as he appeared n. each or
these capacities last night before an
invited audience of musicians and
music lovers in a % ogram presented
in the chamber music auditorium of
the Congressional Library. under the
auspices of the Elizabeth Sprague
Coolidge Foundation.
Mr.. Respigh:, who made his debut
before a local audience last year as
guest conductor of the Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestra, when his pines
of Rome" and other compositions were
given their local premiere, increased
the interest and respect for his amaz-
ing abilities in those who heard the
works presented last night.
The program opened with Sonata
in B Minor for Violin and Pi"r" -
Wolfe Wolfinsohn. first v.olinist of the
Lenox String Quai yet,
stringed instrument; the composer was
at the piano. Mr.. Respighi has the
short-fingered, square hama OF a pianist
and fascinating and individual touch.
The piano is undoubtedly his instru-
ment, and it seemed as the sonata
progressed that he had written almost
a piano solo with violin obbligato.
However, this rather uneven division
may have been due to the fact that
Mr. Wolfinsohn's style of violin play
ing was not of the same caliber as
Mr.. Respighi's piano work-it seemed
lighter.
In the second movement, Mr.. Wolf
insohn achieved some especially warm.
mellow passages; this seemed the most
poetic of the movements. The swift
ness and independence of the piano

did not seem to make SO good dialog
between the instruments as this more
romantic second movement. The pas
sacaglia was of timber that the sheer
value of the music itself dominated
both instruments. There Is not lit

On March 8, 1871, George Washing
ton cana down from Philadelphia to
note what progress was being made In
laying out the site on the Potomac
selected for the National Capital.
He found the citizens of the two
towns in this area enthusiastic over
the plan, but extremely jealous of
each other. Georgetown wanted to be
the future capital. So did Carrollburg
on the Eastern Branch, and each was
confident that 1t had been the place
intended by Congress.
The first President set himself to
compose these difficulties. His method
and his success is told in his diary, the
manuscript of which is kept in the
Library of Congress.
Difficulties Outlined.
Washington wrote:

by procrastination, but by want of

DUPLICATES OF HUNTERS IL
CENsES CANNOT BE OBTAINED

Every year as the Hunting season
opens, this Department receives in
quiries from persons claiming to
have lost their Hunting License, and
requesting duplicate. Chapter
56S, Acts of 1927, provide;- Hunt
ing Licenses shall be issued by the
Clerk of Circuit Court of the Coun-
ties, and the Clerk of Court of Com
mon Pleas, Baltimore City, and shall
be countersigned by the Clerk issu-
ing same, as we'll as the State Game
Warden" Therefore, the law does
mot provide for duplicate licenses,
and it would be impossible for this
Department to supply same. Each
year approximately $4,000 hunting
licenses are issued, and to make a
duplicate of this number wiuld be
impossible from financial stand
point. Each license is numbered,
and of course, the duplicate would
have to correspond with the number
of the original. Persons losing their
hunting licenses are required by Law
to purchase another. The law re-
quires each person hunting Game
protected by law, to have a hunting
license in possession and tag display
ed on outer garment between should
Iers. Therefore, duplicate hunting
licenses cannot be obtained, how
ever, persons losing the Tag can pro-
cure a piece of white cotton-duck
and paint thereon the year, whether
Ia Nonresident, Statewide or County
Resident License, and the number,
and use that in place of the lost tag.
Persons found hunting without prop
er license in possession and tag dis
played, will be prosecuted TO the full
lest extent of the law by our War
dens, who have received explicit in
structions from this Department 10
