King, who played Sibeius' Ro-

technique and splendid appreciation
of the music played, John King in
particular having "a very mature
Interpretation of his selections,
which, while not difficult in them
selves, depend entSeE upon the
Interpretation for their charm.
Rumsey Shows Talent
Leroy Rumsey, whose talent is
unquestioned, played the first move
ment of MacDowell' ''Santa Fro
lea which follows in spirit the
theme of Tennyson poem of the
death of Arthur. MacDowell is the
foremost classicist among the Ameri-
can composers and this particular
composition is a stupenduous thing
that is frequently played on concert
programs.
Leroy Rumsey did full justice to
it, and followed it by the exceed
ingly modern and futuristic Rapso-
die in Blue by George Gershwin,
which was first made famous by
Paul Whiteman. So perfectly did
he enter into the Interpretation OF
his two selections that 1t was as II
two different people were playing
Mention must also be made OF the
excellent work of little Phoebe
Gruwell who shows remarkable abil-
itv for a six year old child. She
PLAYED her numbers in the original
kew and then transposed them INTO
two entirely different keys.
Mrs. D. B. Roberts was soloist for
the evening, and her contralto voice
was never loveier than when she
sang to the children a group Of gay
little songs which dei;gnted them.
Winners of the prac'icing contest
which was conducted for 2S days
were. IN the order named. Geraldine
johnson, Barbara Hatch, David Ro-
berts. Helen Dowd, Betty Jane
Tipps. The prizes were pictures OF
the composers studied by the child
rem in their class work and each
child was allowed to select his own
picture from a large group.

The Washington times., 1929-04-26

The representative audience
all dressed up-that accepted
Secretary Melons invitation to
hear the program for building a
more beautiful Washington, given
last evening at the United States
Chamber of Commerce, evidently
enjoyed the motion pictures more
than anything else.
These came at the end of four
speeches-one by the President
of the United States--interesting
enough. but all read in about the
same even tone-making 1t neces-
sary to concentrate to know when
a sentence ended and another one
"got goin'." They produced upon
the listeners a decidedly "hush-a-
by effect.
The motion pictures showed
partially the evolution of Wash
ington-the early days when
Major L'Enfant was commissioned
to plan the Capital of the new
nation-and on down to the pres.
ent and into the future of the
Washington that Is to be-the
latter consisting Of pictures of
the models of public buildings
and parks that have been
planned
The guests were apparently en-
tirely domestic--no diplomats be-
ing noted. There were Cabinet
ministers, Senators, Representa-
tives and other government off.
cials-accompanied by the ladies
of their families.
Mrs. Hoover Present
These arrived early and
promenaded around the room in
which the models of the public
buildings were on exhibition. At
o'clock the President and his
party arrived, making their
entrance through door next to
the stage of the council room in
which the meeting was held.
Mrs. Hoover accompanied the
President. And with them were
Mrs. Theodore Hoover, sister-in-
law of the President; Mrs. J. H.
Large, sister of Mrs. Hooyer, and
a White House aide.
Mrs. Hoover was gowned in
flowered chiffon on black
ground, with which she wore a
jacket of the same material.
At the conclusion of the
speeches the Presidential party
moved down from the platform
and took their places in front
seats that had been reserved for
them to see the pictures. All
remained until the national
anthem had been sung.
David Edward Finley, of the
Treasury Department, who had
helped Secretary Mellon in
arranging the meeting last even
ing, was standing near the en-
trance Of the building early in the
evening-ready to give any assist
ance wished.

 Clouds of Unemployment
 Behind this picture Of the ap- preaching winter, considered the rosiest in recent years but still not bursting in brilliant Colors, hang the black clouds Of unemployment and political unrest. Winter will add it's own drab touches Of fog hunger and bitter cold. Will a worker in British steel mill, German factory or on French farm pass a more comfortable and profitable winter because the bin for the world war has been settled?
 Unemployment is still the great est problem waiting to be- bounced upon and devoured by the British Lion. It means more than diSarma- riient to thousands of Brtons. The Labor government has entrusted this problem to Jimmy" Thomas, the rollicking, genial and efficient Lord Privy Seal and unofficial Min ister for Unemployment.

or the parting the peasant from his grain still remains
 The leadership of Sta1in and others who control Krcmln pol icics is solid.fied. The Gemotion Of Bukharin is the outward sign Of the defeat politically of the Right clements. Soviet spokesmcn express unbounded satisfaction with the growth of the "socialized sector" or agriculture, that is farming ccmmunes and government farms. The communes, it is freely admit ted, are in some instances stim- ulated by official "influence" on the peasants to join. but they con stitute factor for stability SO far as the government and it's policies are concerned. This socialized category of land is expected to reach 10,Oo0,000 hectares in IG30.
 On rhe other side of the picture. living in Eussia during the next year and possibly even longer will bc pared down to it's absolute es- sentials. It can be stated with some degree of assurance that the country is confronted by another winter of short rations" not only ir bread but in meat, butter, and eggs. Moreover. the enormous strain involved in the great effort to industrialize quickly shows itself n lack of food, textiles, and household goods
 Prospects of q settlement Of diff ferences with China ara none too bright. The suspicion Of anti Soviet plotting among it's neigh bors is constantly in the mind Of the Soviet J'nion fears arc cX pressed Of a Little Etente" led by Rumania and a Northern En- tentc' led by Sweden.
 Communist leaders are optimis- tie despite all their troubles, for they believe that the real hope for the solution of all the country's problems lies in the quick trans formation Of Russia into an indus trial country. And the industriali- z2tion is proceeding satisfactory.
