brilliant and familiar air from 'sIl
Guarani," the most popular opera writ
ten by Carlos Gomez Of Brazil.
Brazilian Pianist Popular.
.Dyla Josetti, pianist from Brazil, won
a high place for herself in the opinion
of Washington music lovers last year
when she showed individual skill IN
interpreting the spectacular "Fantasie"
Moreau Gottschalk, which contains
variations on the Brazilian hymn.
Nine. Josetti repeated this work last
night. winning an ovation. Another
colorful work was "Galhofeira," by
Alberto Nepomunceno. She also play
ed 'DanZa Lucurni," by Ernesto
Lecuona of Cuba, and Romance" by
Arthur Napoleao Of Brazil. both OF
which were softer in mood and OF more
languid tempo.
Ennio Bolognini, Argentine cellist, Is
wizard. He possesses ability to,ach1eve
every tone color, from that Of a violin
like quality to the deepest bass note
on the violoncello. His command of
technique seemed, at times, to make a
string ensemble out OF the one inStru-
ment and his piZzicato work was fas-
cinating. He played two numbers, both
his own compositions. The first was a
fantasy giving unique Latin flavor to a.
medley of favorite North American
airs, including many by that master of
folk songs of the South, Stephen Foster.
Senior Bolognini also played "Remem-
brances of Argentina" which featured
his own nations melodies, and, as en-
core, the Chilean folk song, "Ay, Ay
Ay."
Shows Cooperative Efficiency.
The United Service Orchestra, al
ternately led by Capt. Stanna-d of the
United States Army Band and Lieut.
Benter of the United States Navy Band
is showing at each performance more
cooperative efficiency in the playing of
the Latin compositions. Effectively bar
baric were the selections from the two
suites, by Justin Eli of Haiti, which
opened the program and followed Seflor
Bolognini's first selection.
Both suites were led by Lieut.. Benter
who later presented the beautiful tone
poem "Promethee," by Leopoldo Miguez
of Brazil. This latter composition
really is too long to be placed on so
varied program.
Capt. Stannard led the orchestra IN
a charming Mayan minuet, from
1udteIHdIa, DIS arranged Dy MRS. blngeTC.
There seems little in this music of the
Indian type, yet 1t makes an attractive
short number. The pounding barbaric
rhythms of the "Yaqui Dance" written
by Alberto Alvarado of Mexico, was an
other short and interesting number with
the alluring waltz, Three O'Clock in
the Morning" based upon the melodious
chimes Of the bells of Buenos Aires.
Argentina, as an extra selection. The
tropical suite, "a Central American
Fiesta" by M. de Adalid Y Camera Of
Honduras, which has been heard here
previously this year, followed, and the
final orchestral number was the

Many Contributors to Fund
Ask That Families Helped
Before Again Get Aid.

Many persons contributing to the
Christmas opportunity fund of the
Associated Charities this year are
coupling to their donations a request
that the money be used in aiding the
same families they helped in previous
years charity workers stated today.
This personal interest shown by con-
tributorS is believed to be result of
the comparatively simple method of
which those giving money to this cause
can follow it through to its ultimate
destination and see for themselves the
happiness it brings to the particular
family at Christmas time.
The sum of $14,976 asked by the
Associated Charities this year will be
used to alleviate the hardships of II
adults and 65 children. The money
goes to furnish such necessities as
food, clothing and fuel
Contributions may be sent to John

MORE CHILDREN
ON KIDNAPERS'
FARM
BY international News Service

CHICAGO, Sept. 81. - Belief that
there may be other kidnapped chill
dren held captive on the "kidnapers
farm" to which 10ryear-old Billy Ra.
nieri was taken for Is days, was ex-
pressed here today by Assistant
States Attorney Samuel Hoffman,
in charge of investigation into the
case.
The boy told Hoffman that there
were about 10 small children at the
farm, none of whom seemed to be
relatives of the man and woman who
presided over the place. Billy said
he was told the children were
boarding there because their par
ents were away.
Preparations by the State to secure
the death penalty for Angelo Petitti,
alleged head of an extortionist ring,
are under way following his indict-
ment in connection with the kidnap-
ing of the Ranieri boy.
The indictment, the largest ever
returned by a Cook county grand
jury, contained 4S counts. 1t contained
80 more counts than the indictment
returned against Richard Loeb and
Nathan Leopold, kidnapers and STAY
ers of Bobby Frank.
