Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-11-09

- evening by playing, superbly, the
dramatic Strawinsky lie Sacre du
Printemps,' the music season may now be said
to be definitely established and to have been
given an impetus by Leopold Stokowski that
it sadly needed.
One of the most interesting announcements
of the week concerns Mr.. Paderewski, who, 1t
is said win play all of 10 Chopin numbers when
he appears here in recital at Constitution Hail.
November 26 These win include the "Ballade,
r Minor; the "Nocturne, G Sharp Minor,
Opus 27"; two mazurkas, mo- T. Opus "a" ana
"fJo q Opus SCI: three etudes, mos. and g.
Opus TO-" and mo. II, Opus u.s.; "Polonaise.
Flat Minor, Opus 26"; "Valse Brilliante,
Flat Major, Opus 49," and "Scherzo, Fiat
Minor"
THIS concert of Mr.. Paderewskis is, incl
dentally something to keep well IN mind,
and assuredly it is one of the great red-letter
days of the musical season. For critical sleuths,
who have been waiting with bated breath for
this phenomenal Polish pianist to give his first
concert after long sickness and in the face Of
his recent SEVENTEEN birthday have been sadly
disappointed IN the throwing of their uncom-
plimentary words. It seems that Mr. Paderew-
ski, in his opening concert at Carnegie Hail.
New YORK not only played a two-hour program
with a vizardry that left those present some-
what breathless but went ON for another hour,
playing about everything that anybody wanted
and seemed as If he were capable OF doing the
whole thing right over again And whereas
during the week rumors were adrift that Kreis-
Ter had exhibited an astonishing lack of fire
In his various performances the exhibitions OF
Paderewsh seemed to grow In wonder as they
progressed and left his audiences with the feel
ing that the progression of age had barely
touched the shoulders of this statesman
musician
A MOTHER item of local interest concerns
Clare Clairbert, who makes her debut here
November 20, at Constitution Hall She win
close her program with an aria from "Traviata,"
the opera In which she scored such a pro-
nounced personal triumph in California several
weeks ago. Incidentally, the fame of this young
singer has been broadcast throughout the coun-
try, and washington Is keenly alive to the TACT
that her appearance here means much IN the
way of musical stimulus.
AN ambassadors Of the dance has been with
a us during the past week. Marguerite
Agniel vice president and chairman OF the
Dance Art League of America, q league recently
formed by Louis n. Chalh, has been here In
quest of enough interested persons to start
washington chapter Of this school. The idea
back Of. all this Is that Mr.. Chalif wishes to
have the world Of the dance subsidized after
the fashion Of opera or the Russian Imperial
Ballet so that the many troubles that beset
the early careers Of observation-disclosures
artists may be helped and successfully CLOSED
over It seems like a movement in the right
direction, since, eventually, the hope Is that
they may have a special theater of the dance,
where every one or any one may dance TO
their hearts content
Miss Agniel one Of the more noted expo
nents Of this dance league, which claims Anna
Paylova as honorary president, and seen here
in the past season in many Of her dance sub
1ects, which she has performed for the screen,
says that she expects to give recital in Wash
ington before the Winter is over
