AS
SOLOIST WITH
SYMPHONY

With two magnificent SYM
phonies, the great First and the
even greater Ninth, the Beethoven
FESTIVAL Of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra will come to an end
this afternoon in Constitution
Hall.
Rarely, if ever, has washington
had such a musical treat as this
presented by the outstanding Bos-
ton Orchestra and its dynamic
conductor, DR.. Serge KouSSev1tzky.
And musical washington has
responded nobly to this opportun-
ity to hear the Beethoven Festi-
val that won international fame
In 1927 when it was first pre-
sented during the Beethoven CEN
tenniaI. Large audiences and
enthusiastic audiences have at
tended each of the concerts, and
have gone away heaping praise
on the orchestra, the conductor
and the SoloiStS.
Last night the soloist was
Josef Hofmann, that wizard Of
the piano, and he gave that ex'
ouisite concerto No. 5 in z Flat
Major. A brilliant composition
Hofmann, ever the brilliant t
pianist, gave q thrilling rendi,
tion that won him rounds OF
applause.
The orchestra presented Sym:
phony No. z, one Of the most
vivid Of the great composer. riS-
ing Ito lgreat heights LOT beauty.
The rather heavy overture to
Coriolanus opened the program
and served well to bring out the
contrasted beauty Of the other
two numbers.
A chorus Of 200 voices will sing
the choral concluding today's
symphony.

Cossack Chorus
Coming Dec. 13

One of the outstanding musical
events Of the 1930-31 season is
announced by Mrs. wilson Greene
for Constitution Hall next Satur-
day evening, December Is, when
Serge Jaroff and his Don Cossack
Russian Male Chorus make their
washington concert debut here
as the third attraction Of Mrs.
Wilson -Greene'S Saturday evening
concert series.
This Don Cossack Chorus
was informally organized in q
prison camp outside CONSTANT
nople among Cossack officers
after the attempt Of the Rus.
sian White army, under General
Wrangel, to overturn the Boil
shevist regime in Russia had
failed. Beginning with a modest
concert appearance In 1928, they
rapidly developed into one OF the
greatest Of European musical at
fractions, coming to this country
for the first time this season
with q record Of 1900 European
appearances to their credit.
The Don Cossack's repertoire
ranges from sacred songs to folk
ballads Of their native steppes.
Their singing is entirely unaccom-
panied and the effects they
achieve in choral singing, from
the softeSt pianisSimi to the
richest Of fortiSSimi, Is said to
be amazing. They stand on the
stage in military formation, rn.
der the leadership Of the dim.
inutive but dyn mic Jaroff, and
wherever they have appeared In
America so far, they have been
hailed as q novelty Of the first
rank.

Robinson Began In
Film "Bright ShauDL'

It was in contemplation Of
something Of a lark that Edward

motion picture part. It was in
"The Bright Shawl" to be made
in Cuba. The day after he ar.
rived In Havana he became sud-
denly very Ill and was barely able
to get through his scenes In the
picture.
Needless to say, he was unable
to participate in ANY Of the en-.
joyments he anticipated when he
