Once dead. the hero Of a biography
can appear to his biographer only as a
ghost. Such is the biographical theory
of Miss E. M. Butler, who has recently
written Sheridan: A Ghost Story" The
first part of the biography is entitled
"Sheridan's Posthumous Life" and tells
of his different biographerS. the evil
dence about him to be found in his
tories. memoirs and journals, and the
character of Sheridan as it appears in
his letters. In the second part Miss

personality, while he actually lived. His
best dramatic work was all done BY the
time he was Is. After that he went into
politics and became famous orator

supported but certainly not proved, is
that he was abnormally afraid of suf.

Novel Program
By Orchestra
Wins Pupils
BY WILLIAM MOORE

One thousand ladies and
gentlemen, most of them at the
mature age of between 9 and
IA years, sat entranced yesterday
afternoon in the Central High
School Auditorium. while Hans
Kinder and his National Sym
phony Orchestra put on a show
the like of which has never been
seen in the Nations Capital,
1t was a bit of everything that
Conductor Kinder planned for
his second children's concert, and
the dignified department of the
young auditors and their en-
thusiastic applause brought tears
more than once to the eyes Of
the maestro.
Perhaps had Mr.. Kindler's
audience been more mature in
years, and had it been composed
of seasoned concert-goers, there
would have been many an up
lifted eyebrow and shrugged
shoulder at the informality of
the program.
Knew His Audience
But Mr.. Kinder didn't care. He
was not dealing with boiled
shirts and diamond tiaras. He
knew his audience, for at heart
Mr.. Kinder is as much kid as
any youngster present.
1t would be hard to pick out
just which feature of the program
the youthful audience liked best.
They applauded heartily each
"act." They liked the orchestra's S
rendition of the overture to The
Marriage of Figaro" They went
wild with delight when the Flight
of the Bundle Bee" was played.
Mr.. Kindler'S men had to play it
again, SO insistent was the de-
mand. They sat enthralled with
the rendition of MendelSsohn's
Spring Song" and Schubert'S
"Marche Militaire."
But they nearly tore the roof
off when two charming young
ladies, dressed in bright-colored
glngnam, perCneQ themselves on
the piano bench and crooned folk
songs of the Tennessee noun
tainS.
Sing Native Melodies
These girls-Rebecca and Pene-
lope Tarwater-themselves prod
ucts of the Great Smokes and
finds" Of Mr.. Kinder, sang un-
accompanied four songs: Comm
Round the Mountain" Come,
My Love-" "All Gods Chillen"
and ~"Turnip Green's
There was a freshness and a
remarkable blending of the young
voices that was truly astonishing.
They'd be great on the radio!
Then Mr.. Kinder led the en-
tire audience in the singing of
MY Old Kentucky Home" fol-
lowing which the program closed
with the Schubert number.
1t was a great afternoon for
the kids and the Sprinkling of
grown-upS present.
