THIRD AMERICAN PROGRAM.

Works by two Americans comprised
the third and final program this sea-
son sponsored by the Sutro sisters, at
the Carlton Hotel yesterday afternoon.
The first half of the afternoon was
devoted to works by the late Charles
Critics, one of Americas most tai
ented composers, who died before he
reached the age of 80 years. The lat
ter part of the program was composed
of works by Harold Morris, a young
living composer, who shows consider
able talent.
Mr.. Morris appeared personally both
as pianist and accompaniSt yesterday.
He has facile command of technique
and marked ability and gift as a pian-
list. He admirably played three beau
tiful and too-rarely heard piano COM
White Peacock" THE Night Winds"
and 'The Fountain of Aqua Paola."
Later Mr.. Morris played three of his
| own works, scher2o that was particu-
larly charming and filled with inven-
| tiveness, Dolls Ballet" which
should be quite popular, and "Rondo,"
from his first piano sonata.
George Arthur Rogers, tenor, pre-
Sented some of Critics best known
songs. all of them lovely. in his FIRST
group. They included by a Lonely
OASo ANYWAY OJhPlIO1iy III 1el-
low" "a Feast of the Lanterns and
Time Was When I in Anguish Law"
Critics chose appropriate verses to set
to music for these songs. The second
group of songs was composed Of works
by Mr.. Morris. Loves Philosophy"
was an interesting concert number.
The other two, The Moon Lady, and
IA Persian Love Song" are more of
the popular catchy" type.
The opening number was a poem for
flute and piano written by Critics. It
is delightful bit of chamber music.
| with just enough intricacy of writing
around its melodies to intrigue the ear
and make the listener wish for an i'm
mediate second hearing, the better to
catch its full significance. Maurice
Sharp. fiutist. blended his tones nicely
with Mr.. Morris piano par.
The other, more ambitious, piece of
writing presented, was Mr. Morris own
Sonata for Violin and Piano." in
which he had Loris Gratke, young
violinist, as joint artist. The first
movement Of the sonata, allegro ma non
troppo. was very promising and COL
orful. H.F.

ADJUSTMENTS


Fritz Leiber's presentation of Julius
Caesar" last night at Polls Theater was
beautifully done. Mr.. Leiber played
the role of Marcus Antonius and was
ably supported by Louis Leon Hall, as
Marcus Brutus; Lawrence H. Cecil as
CaSSluS; Hart jerks, as Caesar, and
Virginia Bronson, as Portia.
There was not one hitch in the
five-act presentation of the Chicago
| Civic Shakespeare Society's interpre-
tation OF the famous play, and it was
well received by a representative audi
ence.
Only two opportunities remain for
Washingtonians to enjoy the art of Mr..
Leiber and his excellent cast. This
| afternoon "As You Like IT, will be
presented at the matinee performance
and Richard III" at the final per-
Torrance tonight. At the matinee Mr..
Leiber will play the role of Jacques, and
In the evening he will appear as King
Richard.
Mr.. Leiber, as in the role of Shylock,
| In THE Merchant of Venice" and
others of the Shakespearean series pre-
Sented this week, meets the test in the
difficult role of Antonius with admirable
skill, especially during the fourth act
in the capitol, the street before the
| capitol and the forum scenes. Mr.. Hall
did equally well, ably supported by Mr..
Cecil, as CaSsiuS.
Three senators, Cicero, Publius and
Poplilius, were portrayed by Frank
Scott, John Hopkins and Grant Cor
don, respectively. Kathryn Collier was
! excellent in the role of Calphurnia.

FILMS ARE SHOWN
OF AFRICAN TRIP
Haardt, French Explorer,
Pictures Thrilling Auto Jour-
ney Across Continent.

The most ambitious exploration ex-
peditic-1 yet made by automobiles. which
traversed Africa diagonally from the
Northwestern corner of the continent to
the Southeast, was pictured and de-
scribed for members of the National
Geographic Society last night at the
Washington Auditorium by Georges
Marie Haardt, leader of the Citroen
Central African expedition,
The trip: from its beginning at
Colomb-B echar, Algeria. near the Med
iterranean, to its conclusion in various
parts of South and Southeastern Africa,
was shown by selections from the is
miles of motion picture film taken nv
the expedition. The showing of the
films was accompanied by orchestral
music composed in France from African
themes recorded by musician member
of the expedition. The orchestra was
led by Leon Brusiloff.
Guests of honor last evening were the
Ambassador of France and Nine.
Claudel.
Used Caterpillar Autos.
The expedition used 10 cars equipped
With caterpillar drives instead of the
usual rear wheels. Each car drew q
trailer in which supplies and eouinnent
were stored. At points along the route
additional supplies had been laid down,
With the experience gained from two
African expeditions, Mr.. Haardt is
planning an even more ambitious trim
by automobile caravan from Northern
Africa across Asia to China.
One of the most difficult stretches
covered on the expedition was encount-
cred in traversing the Tanezrouft Des-
ert, was In the Western Sahara, This
region OF loose sands, wholly without
vegetation or life, drew heavily on Qaso-
line and water, and supplies of both
were nearly exhausted when the cara
van reached the oasis of Tessalit. For.
eSts of the Belgian Congo threatened
to be an almost impossible obstacle
but Belgian officials had recruited 10000
native laborers who opened a road 37s
miles long.
Much Game Encountered.
After passing Lake Chad, in NORTH
Central Africa, the party encountered
much game and side trips were made
to hunt CRATES, antelopes, lions, ele.
plants and hippos.
When the region of the Great Lakes
Of Africa was reached the expedition
was divided into four sections. One
division went east to Mombassa, a sec.
ond, south and then east to the coast;
third through Rhodesia and South
Africa to Cape Town, while the fourth
led by Mr.. Haardt, followed the chain OF
lakes south and then crossed Portu-
gueSe Southeast Africa to Mozambique
on the Indian Ocean.

The District Commissioners TODAY

DULUTH, MINI, February I5.-Two
versions of the killing of Gust Henry
Wirkkula by United States customs
patrolman last Summer were before a
Federal court jury today as trial of the
officer, Emmett j. White, neared its
close.
White testified that Wirkkula was at
tempting to escape from White and E.
V. Servine. another customs employe as
they sought to halt his automobile 10
search 1t for contraband liquor on a
lonely road 25 miles south of the Ca
madam border. White told the jury he
fired four times, twice to scare the
driver and twice at the rear tires of his
automobile.
White had no intention of inflicting
injury when he fired, he testified in his
trial on a charge of second degree muir
der, but he was unable to see the sights
of the gun in the darkness and rs to
36 buckshot from his gun struck the
back of Wirkkula's car. No liquor was
found in the car.
The other version was that of Mrs
Wirkkula, who with two daughters, was
a passenger in the car. She said her
husband slowed down in answer to
signal from the customs men. Three
buckshot hit Wirkkula, who was killed
instantly
1t is expected the case will go to the
jury today.

RADIO PLEA ASKS
NEW CIVIC UNITS
W. E. Rabenhorst Argues for
Free Field for Citizens
Associations.

Reasons why he believes the territory
of any citizens association in Wash
inston should be a free field for the
development of q new association were
discussed over station WMAL in radio
talk last night by william E. Raben-
horst OF the Federation of Citizens
Associations.
The question why a new citizens
aSsoclation?" is but an extension OF
the general question why q citizens
association" Mr.. Rabenhorst pointed
out. and many of the arguments in sup
port OF the latter question are appli-
caole TO the former, he said.
Cites Example.
The formation of the Burroughs
Citizens Association in Northeast
Washington Is but one example of the
desirability Of freedom in the forma-
ton OF new citizens associations" he
declared. There have been others i'll
future"
Mr.. Rabenhorst, who is a member OF
the Burroughs Association and likewise
member of the committee on high
ways, parks and waterways of the fed
Grafton, particularly stressed that large
and growing communities are the po-
tentlal neldS for the formation OF new
associations because of the development
OF new and sometimes conflicting
interests.
IF the territory is small enough so
that all the members of the association
can be accommodated in one meeting
place, then the organization will be
truly democratic and truly representa-
tive Of the community" he said.
Fears Control Of Few.
"If the territory is SO large that the
members Of the association, or any COIL
siderable proportion of them, cannot
all meet in one place, then the control
of the organization may pass into the
hands of the few, who, however altru-
istic their motives, may not truly repre-
sent the wishes of the majority of the
members. Moreover, in such a large
territory there may develop new inter-
ests and conflicts of interest between
different parts of the locality which can
better be handled by more than one
association, each representing a differ
ent section of what was formerly re-
garded as one community"
