Latin American Composers
Write for Service Orchestra

THE United Service Orchestra, which
- was organized three years ago from
musicians in the orchestras of the Army
and Navy Bands to play exclusively
music from the New World, has been
augmented by musicians from the Ma
rine Band Orchestra. It is possible to
make this organization the largest or
chestra in the world, as there are $50
musicians in the three service groups
stationed in Washington. The orches-
ira, however, for the present will con-
sist of 100 musicians. The leadership
will be divided among the three con-
ductors-Capt. William j. Stannard of
the Army Band. Lieut. Charles Benter
of the Navy Band and Capt. Taylor
Branson of the Marine Band. A spe-
cial program has been prepared for
rendition by the new orchestra at its
first appearance, at the Pan-Americsn
Union the evening of April 81. Leading
composers of Latin America, appreciat-
ing the special honor paid to them by
the creation of this musical organiza-
Lion, have sent their latest compositions
for use in this premiere night. OF
the seven compositions to be rendered
by the orchestra, three of them will be
played for the first time in any land
and four will receive their first rendi-
tions in the United States
Among the numbers to be given will
be DANA Salvaje," an aboriginal dance

American lands. Alberto Alvarado Of
Mexico, composer of the "Yaqui Dance"

sidered one of the most impressive num-
bers that has yet reached the United

Local Pianist Returns
From Brahms Festival

THE Washington pianist, Frances
Gutelius, has just returned from
Boston. where she attended the six
day Brahms festival. Miss Gutelius
has written the following from her i'm

romanticist, born in Hamburg in 1888
and died in Vienna in 1897, was hon.

In Boston.
LAS the center Of the controversy
over his music, first aroused when
Schumann hailed him as Beethoven's
successor; when List was ready to
recognize In him an apostle Of the
music Of the future; when Europe was
divided between romanticistS and claS-
Sicists, each eager to welcome him to
their camp, Brahms maintained the
even tenor Of his way, content to Work
as best he might, and with little regard
for the opinion of his contemporaries.
zone Of the outstanding works to be
heard (because of the proportions of
the performers necessary for its pres
entation) was "A German Requiem,
in six movements, sung by Jeannette
Vreeland, soprano; Fraser, Gange,
baritone, the Harvard Glee Club, Rad
cliff Choral Society and the full SYM
phony orchestra. It has often been
said that Brahms wrote his 'Deutches
Requiem as q tribute to his mother,
but there is abundant proof that the
requiem was intended as q last great
funeral rite for Robert Schumann.'
Lack Of space forbids adequate de-
scription Of this noble, melancholy and
powerful music.
"It was not until the age Of 43 that
Brahms gave his first symphony TO the
world. After Beethoven's towering
ninth, his first sketches seemed I'M

Attending Opera Here
ALTHOUGH grand opera it rather we

A LTHOUGH grand opera 1t rather well
established as to its traditions, the
forthcoming season of the Metropolitan
Opera Co. at the Fox Theater here,
April %, "a and IS, will introduce some
thing new-something that even the
Metropolitan Opera House in New York
City cannot offer its patrons. That Is
the group Of especially equipped seats
in the theater which, through the me-
dunn of head sets, make 1t possible for
patrons whose hearing is defective to
hear the talking pictures regularly pre-
sented at that theater.
These sets will be available to those
attending the three operas to be offered
by the Metropolitan. The mechanical
equipment of the sets will be switched
to the public address" system of the
theater, which will carry each of the
famous singers voices through the wires
to the head sets. These sets are so
adjustable as to make it possible for the
patron to control the volume and adjust
them to individual desires.
Ten seats in the mezzanine of the
Fox Theater are so equipped at the
present. It Is planned to increase this
that when the Metropolitan Co. comes
next year every request for this added
service will be fulfilled.
Mrs. Wilson, Greene, manager Of tho
Washington Opera Association, Inc.
sponsoring the opera season, has stated
that never in the history of previous
musical events In Washington has the
response been so wholehearted so far in
advance as In the present instance.
This indicates the extent to which
music lovers will respond in the Ma
tional Capital when conditions for the
presentation Of the operas are propi-
tious. It is said that there will be a

Fox. Arrangements have been made to
mezzanine into a series Of boxes. These
