FRITZ RErNER CONDUCTS.

Several thousand Washingtonians
heard Fritz Reiner for the first time
as guest conductor with the Philadel
phia Symphony Orchestra at the
| Washington Auditorium yesterday aft
ernoon, and acclaimed him with ova
tions following the Beethoven sym
phony and at the end of the program
Mr. Reiner is one Of that small group
of conductors who know their scores
so well that they conduct entirely
| from memory. There was never a
| shadow of doubt in the mind of one
! watching Mr.. Reiner as number pro
crossed regarding his absolute knowl-
edge not only of the exact harmonic
| combination imminent each second
but also exactly the shading of tone
| in each department of the orchestra
that he wished TO bring out. Mr..
Reiner's dominant characteristic is an
almost military precision in attitude
and control. His orchestra, instead of
seeming like one huge organ, assumes
the effect of a musical army, with
definite lines between it's various
platoons and divisions, each ready

tire program was delightfully."- inter
preted
The opening overture from Weber's
"Oberon" was given the light fantasy
coloring which brings out it's delicate
melodies best. The Fourth Sym
phony" of Beethoven was played
without pause and in a fashion which
completely held the audience The
beautiful adiago movement was PLAYED
with the staccato buoyancy of piquant
ballet dancing, and yet with rich
depths of musical feeling
There were times in the final move

effect Of clashing cymbals, when the
bass Viols in their hoarse whisperings

shrill roulades of fife, bassoons and
the other wind instruments. There
was q theme that brought to mind the
Halls of the Mountain King in
Grieg's Peer Gynt." All in all, it
was a marvellous work marvelously
played.
The novelty to Washington in the
program was Debussy's exquisite and
very programmatic suite of symphonic
sketches, La Mer" This Is fascinat.

out all the characteristics suggested
Of the sea in its varied moods and of

powers in the orchestra. His reading
of this work is not quite so poetic

reading, heard last Winter in New

ira. Mr.. Reiner rather emphasized
the powerful rhythms and sugges-
ton of undertow currents and I'M
plumbed depths with his presenta-
ton. AS Mr.. Gilman says in his pro-
gram notes: ia Mer Is to be classed
among those of Debussy's works
which sprang from his imagination at
time when it was fertile and dis
tinguished, when his command of
beautiful speech was easy and
triumphant. when his art was most
nearly fiawless-one of that small but
Incompatible group of orchestral tone
poems in which Debussy said new and
enchanting things in an unforgetable
way"
The last number. the Dance of the
Apprentices and Finale" from Wag-
ner's die Meistersinger" was also
brilliantly played and with authority.

The examination will be made to

latter safe was found behind a secret
panel.
Superior Judge Guerin, who is
hearing the receivership case, de-
clined to fix the bonds until he had
authentic information concerning the
value of personal property involved.
The receivers were directed to re-
port their findings this afternoon.
The bond will be in the form of an
appeal bond to protect the receiver
ship while Chaplin takes the case
involving his property into a higher
court. Once the bond is set and
appeal filed, the receivership will be
only a nominal one.
Receivers Need Funds.
The receivers were still confronted
yesterday with the problem of dis
covering funds from which to pay
alimony and attorneys fees awarded

herself and her two children.
In addition, her attorneys are en-
titled to $4,000 in fees. An additional
bill for premiums on bonds required
of Mrs. Chaplin and the receivers
and an item for $3.50 for miscel-
laneous legal expenses also have to
be met.

THE act permits a national bank

capital OF separate corporation or

to carry on safe deposit business.
This business may be conducted on
the premises of the bank or in a

this amendment Is that the liability
or the bank for damages to a safe

the amount OF the capital stock Of
the safe deposit corporation which the
