GREAT CHORUS
is HEARD AT
CENTRAL

The first lady Of the land, Mrs.
Herbert Hoover, was among the
very large audience that attended
the massed chorus festival con-
cert, given in the auditorium of
the Central High School, last
night.
The concert, under the auspices
of the Washington Church Music
Council and the District Of Co
lumbia Federation of Music Clubs,
was directed by Frederick Alex
ander.
Under his very passive yet
accurate and compelling baton,
the 400 voices of men and women,
rose and fell in colorfuI cadences
and effective tempos, creating
exquisite harmony, that brought
each number OF the diversified
program, to a highly professional
perfection.
Miss Charlotte Klein official ac-
companist at the piano inaugu.
rated the program with an organ
prelude "Sarabande" by Bach.
The church choirs assisted by 100
boy sopranos from the District of
Columbia public schools and 10
violins played by students of
Josef Kasper, then rendered "Zion
Hears Her Watchmen's Voices"
and GLORY Now To Thee Be
Given" two numbers from Bach's
cantata "Sleepers Awake"
The second group, Christ Wher
A Child, Tschaikowsky; "Gospodi
Pomilui," Lvovsky, and a twelfth
century crusaders song "Beauti-
full Savior" was another occasion
OF well merited applause for the
choirs.
Two Brahms numbers, Love
Song and Barcarolle," were
rendered by a class Of women
singers.
To Sylvia Lent a Washington
violinist, fell the laurels of the
evening. In the execution of three
melodies by Sammartini, Francoeur
Kreisler and Sarasate, the silver
notes fell from the strings Of her
instrument in the manner of rain
drops. Her touch, masterful yet
delicate, revealed a perfection of
technique, compared only with
the soulfullnless. of her inte--
probation. Ceaseless ovations
brought her back to the stage for
three encores. She was admirably
accompanied at the piano by
George H. Wilson.
The Washington University Glee
Club was then presented ina trio
Of familiar Glee numbers, "Lut-
zow's Wild Chase" Dearest Fare
well" and Memory in the Dewy
Wood" which were excellently
rendered
At the conclusion, Of the pro-
gram, the enthusiastic auditors
voiced their appreciation of the
splendid musical by rounds of ap-
plause for Mr.. Alexander and his
fine vocalists.

SAM TO
PRODUCE
TALKIES

Production of talking movies
will be begun by the United States
Department of Agriculture during
the current season, and, If present
plans are carried out. one or more
''all talkie" short features will be
ready for presentation at the big
LIVESTOCK shows next winter.
For the present the production
of talking films will be limited to
short specials for such occasions
as the National Dairy Show,
where facilities for reproduction
can be provided, but as soon as
portable equipment for sound pic
lures is available at a reasonable
cost production of talking films
for general circulation will be
undertaken. A representative Of
the departments office of motion
pictures is now in New York In
vestigating models of forthcoming
portable projectors with sound at
tachments.
Officials of the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics of the depart
ment see a special advtange in
vocalizing films dealing with eco
nomic phases of farming. They
believe that the exhibition Of
sound pictures on the agricul-
tural outlook, for example. would
aid greatly in their eforts to in
duce farmers to study prospective
demand for their products in ad-
justing production activities.

time, but with the construction
Of a modern motion picture stu
dio in the department at Wash
ington, a few years ago, and
the borrowing Of a few of the
commercial movie tricks, a large
number of excellent pictrues have
been produced.
The demand for these films Is
usually greater than the supply.
Not infrequently, the pictures are
used in metropolitan theaters, in
addition to their wide use in
country movie houses, country
schools, and assembly halls. Many
foreign governments interested in
American agricultural technique
have shown the pictures abroad.

Dear Andy:
My young daughter directs,
my attention to the fact that in
Tuesdays review of the Ma
tional Players I inadvertently
referred to the new leading man
of the company as Arthur
Pryor instead of Roger Pryor.
The latter, of course, is the
young mans father, head of the
famous Pryor Band, which is
now heard on the air under the
disguise of the Schradertown
Band.
Sorry for this slip, but such
is fame. However, if the young
man continues his progress
in the world dramatic, it is not
at all impossible that young
reporters (such as y will be
referring to it as Roger Pryor's
Band.
Sincerely,
