MODERN WORKS ARE
pr ESENTEn

The members of the Friday Morn
ing Music Club enjoyed a program
that featured ultra-modern works
yesterday morning at the Cosmos Club
auditorium. Also, for the first time
in the history of the clubs years of
weekly meetings, was a program
broadcast from that auditorium.
The most conservative selection of
the program was the opening suite
of songs for children, Songs of In.
nocence," in which quaint poems by
William Blake were set to charming
melodies by Elizabeth Sprague Cool
idge, the internationally known music
patron who donated the chamber
music auditorium at the Library of
Congress as one Of her many practical
aids to the advancement Of musical
art. Mrs. Coolidge, who is in Cali
= xornia at this time and so could not
be present, has been heard in Wash
3ngton as pianist, but yesterday
marked her first public appearance
locally as a composer. BY far the most
elaborate and perhaps the most gasci.
DatiDg OF this group of her songs was
ehe opening one, THE Piper" "The
Cradle Song" and Laughing Song"
were delightful little numbers, too.
Au the songs We're interpreted with
care and clear enunciation by Rather
sne Lee Jones.
Wildly fantastic by contrast was
the next group, composed of "Valse
Ridicule" and ''F'ox-Trot," written by
the Italian modernist, Alfredo Ca
BELLA, for string quartet. and played
by the members of the National
String Quartet Of this city. The waltz
was so ridiculous, indeed, that ii was
broad burlesque. There were those
present who expressed the hope that

caused by static" The fox-trot was
more subtle and suggested a very
sophisticated expression of the spirit
Of the barbarian.
The quartet again appeared TO ac-
company Helen Howison in Mary
14owe's 1.-THE Prinkin Leddie," well
sung, which was heard here a couple
Of seasons ago with piano accompani-
ment. The string accompaniment,
s&hile interesting in itself, seems in
tlined 10 dominate the voice, giving
added handicap TO the dialect Of the
song. with which the singer is bur
kened.
The last appearance of the quartet
twas I'm the finale Of Suite for Strings
end Piano" also by Mary Howe, with
che composer at the piano. This
proved interesting and musicianly,
fhough such divergent STYLES as
those OF Debussy and Wagner were
brought to mind during its presenta-
zion.
Henri Sokolov played the loveliest
numbers from every musical point of
view on the program, when he gave
the violin solos. Chant Nuptial." with
Ats really esthetic qualities, and
s'Chant Frivoie," a gay light work
bbth by Carl Engel, chief of the music
division of the Library of Congress.

LONDON, March 26-The wisdom

ing at the hands of the Dental Benefit
Joint Committee, composed of insur-
ance society representatives and of
dentists.
The Hearts of Oak Benefit Society
maintains that the wisdom tooth is no

society has declined to pay for filings
for this "drone" on the ground that
as it never does any work the organi-
cation is not obliged to maintain it
In the mouth of an insured person.
Dentists, however, take an opposite
view of the matter. The wisdom tooth
should be drilled and filed, but not
killed, because 1t is where 1T is for a
purpose. they say.
The courts may be asked to decide
the point.

The first was on March -, when S.

the motion picture which cost $10,-
100000. He had started in the theat-
rlcal business by exhibiting lantern
Slides to coal miners in Pennsylvania.
The second was when William Fox,
president of the Fox Film Corporation,
who started with "a hole in the WALL
Iheater in Brooklyn 20-odd years ago,
acquired control of the Roxy Theater
yesterday. The deal, it was reported,
involved S15,O00,00O.
Gets on ''thes RiaItO."
AS result of the maneuver. which
startled Broadway, Mr.. Fox will at last
nave first run" house on the Rialto.

MIR. Fox have been friends for IS years.
Mr.. Fox has 80 theaters strung about
The country. Two other Roxy theaters
are to be built in New York and Mr.
FOX has also acquired these Roxy
will be general director of these play
houses.
Mr.. Fox described his acquisition
today as the browning achievement
IN his career His first theater had
ADO seats. The Roxy has $500.
Roxy Is Pleased.
Mr.. Fox's move" said Roxy, sis
the greatest thing that has happened
TO me in years. | shall do my best
TO hake- him proud of his acquisition"
Mr.. Fox, in reminiscent mood, con-
arasted the old second hand piano,
which cost $40, in his first theater,
to the three great pipe organs in the
new Roxy.
ITO me-" he said, 1.-The difference
between that old second hand piano
and the great new organs represents
the forward march of the motion pic
ture and shows what it was then and
what ii means to the world today"
