REINER SLOWS DOWN THE
STOKOWSKI ORCHESTRA
BY Jessie

The presence of a guest con-
ductor' with the Philadelphia Orches.
ira, at the Washington Auditorium
yesterday afternoon. served to slow.
down the pulse Of that esteemed
organization immeasureably. Fritz
Reiner, of the Cincinnati Symphony.
is replacing Leopold Stoskowski dur.
ing the latter's rnid.winter vacation.
And Mr.. Reiner's meticulous care in
bringing the broad sweep of Stokow.
ski down to a four-walled room. in
rhythm, proved conclusively how
important is the wielder of baton
over any ensemble.
Granted the rick quality of the
various choirs. with perhaps the
cellos holding first rank in yester-
days program, we found that the
opening overture. to Weber's
"Oberon," began almost more than
soft and dragged in the slow parts
perceptibly, though there was a
gusto to the quick development
Then came Beethoven. the seldom
played fourth symphony, and after
the intermission the three symphonic
sketches of Debussy that express
the tides of the sea. Wagner and
the ''Meistersinger" closed the pro-
gram. But nne cannot beat time to
Debussy. There are no boundaries
to his illusions, SO Mr.. Reiner
destroyed the illusions by finished
phrases that came as so many jolts
to the ebb and flow, the mist and
motion, that lie within the Debussy
impressionistic tone.pictures Of 1.-THE
Sea-" 1t simply got no where. Nor
was the Debussy idiom in theme
either brought out or developed.
Mr.. Reiner nodded his Beethoven
too carefully. He literally put
curb bit in the mouth Of the one.
hundred-voiced instrument that held
them back to such an extent that
there was nothing to look for. They
played the music through, it's true.
But oh, for a lause. for hold in
climax, to suggest form and magma.
ton. The music contains an Italo-
Mozartian spirit. but its lack of
dominant development made even
the minuet childish.
1t all seemed to resolve itself in
the ''Meistersinger." which lacked
ahumcr. Even the rugged dance of
the apprentices held no color of the
drama Of homely fun that bounces
them about. There was fine tone
climax, naturally enough, but today
so vivid is the music that must
content us--a sense Of drama is
needed to give the sound of music
its reason for being. We have gone
too far to be satisfied with accuracy
or pedagogy. Both are commendabie
in the class room. But art must
emhellish them>
The fourth concert in the series
Of the Philadelphia Orchestra will be

MORE WOMEN ARE
 GOING ID HUNTS
British Society Interested in
 Riding to Hounds

Melton Mowbray. Dec. ,. P'- With the scent breast high and the horses running like wildfire. the ia nous Quorn hounds opened the fox hunting season this year with some of the most notable gatherings that Kirby Gate has ever seen.
 More women than ever before are taking part in the chase. In past years the presence of women vas not encouraged by their noble lords.
 The beautiful Princess Indira- raia, Maharanee of Cooch Behar, who is in the throes of her first season at the sport, started out with q string of 30 hunters. She Is tho daughter of the Gaekwar of Baroda, one Of India's most power ful princes. She is a familiar sigh, in this exclusive district. flying over hill and down dale with her long veil streaming behind her. She often rides side-saddle in her na- tive Indian costume and has had q number of severe falls.
 Many Americans are present and taking'an active part in the hunt ing. Captain c. T. J. Roark and "Laddy" Sanford, the polo stars. are booked at Craven Lodge. as are Nr. and Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark. of Long Island. and Mr A. C. Bost- wick.
 R. F. Bob" strawbridge and Mrs. wbridge, both prominent in Philadelphia society, are here
New Britain herald., 1927-12-02

while R, II. Walsh. New York banker, and Mrs. Walsh are ex- pected soon to open up their place at Coventry House, Melton.
 There are 362 packs of hounds now in England and the women riders are almost forcing out the men from this once exclusively masculine sport. British society folk still are singing the praises Of Miss l.aycock, who last season led q tail-on-end chase of 30 miles with a number of men riders in a big field, and who was the only person up at the end of the chase.
 Another extraordinary perform ance by woman was that of a Miss Greig who chased a stag for 70 miles and then returned to the kennels on the same horse and was able 10 take part in another hunt the following day. Experts regard this as a great performance even for a healthy. robust man.
 Modern women hunters have good examples before them. Mary, Queen of Scots, was an untiring horsewoman who hunted the tall, red deer with much vigor in Ettrick Forest. Queen Anne, fol- lowing the example of her sports man father King James II, was en- thusiastic about hunting and took part in the royal hunt at Windsor before she got too fat.
 Even then she followed the hunt in a light, high wheeled chaise, driving at furious rate and half frightening her ladies-in- waiting to death
