Miss Essin will sing the role of
Waltraute in the Dusk of the

kline will be heard as Isolde in the
Tristan and Isolde" portion.
'.Lohengrin." Wagner's third
opera. was completed in 1S49 and

the opera, the Holy Grail -- the
church in medieval legend, which
mysterious symbol of the Roman
Wagner developed to the fullest
extent of his genius in "Parsifal,"
his last dramatic work.
Waltraute's Scene is from the
last of the four music dramas
forming Wagner's Der Ring des
Nibelungen." Siegfried's Funeral
Music appears in Wagner's third
and final act of dusk of the
Gods,'' which also is the final act
of the Ring"
Siegfried, the hero destined by
Wotan to redeem the gods and the
world from destruction through the
curse upon the ring, has been
treacherously slain, and the end of
the old gods - of the old order of
things - is now inevitable. The
Funeral Music is made up of mo-
tives associated with the life of
Siegfried, but transformed through
slower tempo, broader rhythm and
more somber orchestration to
symbolic the tragedy of the hero's
passing.

Bows Choir Coming.

THAT unique juvenile musical organ
ization, the Vienna Saengerknaben
Or Boys Choir-whose musical his
tory covers more than four centuries.
and who are making their first Amer
ican concert tour this season, Is an
nounced as the attraction at Constitu-
ton Hall on Tuesday afternoon, Mo-
vember l, at 4:30 o'clock, when 1t will
be presented as the opening attraction
of Mrs. Wilson, -Greene's Philharmonic
series of afternoon concerts there.
The Vienna Saengerknaben Is de-
scribed as a musical hierarchy that
was founded by the Austrian Emperor.
Macmillan, in 1893, when boys choir
was ordered to sing daily mass under
the auspices of the Vienna Court Or
chestra. For more than 400 years, the
has continued, under
state control and tutelage, to main
tain its musical traditions and ideals.
Today-as alwaySthe Saengerknaben
lives in the Vienna Hofburg, an ancient
imperial castle, where once Hapsburg
royalty dwelled.
Only 40 boys are selected after rigid
competitive examination. When their
voices change-an inevitable occur
rence-the choir boys are assigned to
duties about the house until employ
ment can be found for them. Crowned
heads and presidents of nations have
listened to the voices of these Saen-
gerknaben songbir0s, and recently his
holiness, Pope Plus XII awarded them
parchment testimonial after hearing
them sing Haydn, Schubert, Mozart
and other illustrious composers, re-
ceived early musical training from the
Saengerknaben. The average age Of
the company is II years.

try's more famous orchestras over the

other hand the modern hot songs,
which combine intriguing rhythm with
delicate shadings of harmony. are
stronger than ever. They probably will
become permanent, along with the
BALLADS that are such hits today, be-
cause they represent the evolution from

claim in full chorus the four brothers

cause its appeal to humanity Is more

long as human emotions will respond
to rhythm, jazz will continue"
Vincent Lopez: THE old-fashioned
Jazz was a violent reaction from more
staid types of music that preceded it,
Just as cubist painting is a violent
reaction against the old forms. From
it developed a rhythmic music that
probably will be as permanent as the

Ia Monnaie, in Brussels, and at Covent
Garden, London, he has been singing

Mr.. Thomas selection of songs for
the coming concert is as varied as the
compositions to be played by the or
chestra, ranging from Italian opera to
German folk song.
Washington music lovers will be in
terested to hear how Conductor Kinder
interprets the feature uf the program.
Respighi's pines Of Rome" This
beautifully orchestrated modern work
has been heard several times in the
past few years here, and has become a
favorite with concertgoers.
The composition is divided into four
parts, played without pause, each part
being tone picture Of particular part
Of Rome. In one part, the music Is
woven around the actual song OF the
nightingale, recorded cn a phonograph
disk, which is played softly as the over
tones and coloringS Of the strings fade
into silence. The last movement por-
trays the pines along the Appian Way,
and builds up to stunning climax as
the sound of an ancient Roman army
is evoked, in ponderous and stirring
rhythms.
The concert will close with excerpts
from Tschaikowsky'S opera Eugene
Onegin" The andante and polonalse
are extremely effective symphony com
positions, and have not been heard In
Washington for several years.

Hunting Talent.
7 EARNING to speak German wa:

7 EARNING to speak German was
only linguistic by-product of Ben
Thaus trip through Europe, says
Donald Henderson Clarke. Thau, cast
ing director for the Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer Studios, was sent abroad to dis
cover talent that could be groomed for
stardom. The results Of his trip are as
yet unpredictable. but he did learn
German while he paraded the beauties
Of Europe.
The task of selecting foreign beauties
is not as pleasant job as one would
at first emagine.
In the first place" Thau said on
his return this week. you have to see
a show every night and as many
motion pictures as you can crowd into
the day. That doesn't sould like hard
work but it becomes SO monotonous
and boring that ditch-digging would be
a relief. However, seeing SO many
foreign language movies did help me
in one way. I learned TO speak Ger
man after a three-and-a-half week
stay in Berlin. I saw more than a
hundred German films. Before I knew
it I was speaking German. When I
went to Vienna from Berlin I was able
to conduct all the complicated business
of interviewing actresses, arranging for
screen tests and so-forth without the
aid of an Interpreter"
Mr. Thau was unable at the time OF
the interview to divulge how many
people he had discovered or who they
were, with the exception Of Charlotte
Susa, German actress who is already
at the Metro-G Goldwyn-M Mayer Studios
However, he did discover that lead
ing men are hard to get. Even the
European directors OF motion pictures
find it difficult to find European men
with the same rugged type of appeal as
Clark Gable or Gary Cooper.

There is nothing. perhaps, so in

ity in the Interpretation OF Ideas.
SPLENDID opportunity to observe
this phenomenon will be had this
Winter with the coming OF the
New York Philharmonic and sew
eral outstanding conductors, cli-
making with Toscanini, the Ital-
ian, who understands Wagner bet
ter than his own countrymen ever

classic group and shudder at the
inventions of the modernistS. II
the remaining audience so de-
sires, the modern numbers will be
repeated several times thus Civ
ing an opportunity to know them
better than as casual acqua1nt-
ances. This is really not a bad
idea. There is no avoiding the
fact that music has done with the
old forms and is seeking the new,
and one must not forget that such
adventuring has given the world
Wagner, Debussy and StravinSky.
Composers are, at least, a quarter
of a century ahead, in reality
writing for the next generation.
Unwillingness to consider the
value of the new efforts, which
can only be understood through
study, hinderS progress.
In this cinema-ruled world OF
today. one is apt to forget that
musicians do not become artists
because they are a type" but
because they have been able to
enter into, grasp and reproduce
the profound thoughts Of such
giants as Beethoven or Brahms.
What a privilege, therefore, to
hear such geniuSeS as Iturbi and
Menuhin, which we are fortunate
to have in this generation, as also
to know those unusual perSonall-
ties, Feodor Chaliapin and EScu-
dero. With the musical menu
which the present season offers,
Washington is fast moving to the
place it should always have occu-
pied, that of musical center OF
America.
Why is it not possible for Wash
ington to consider a still wider
musical horizon? There is now
growing Symphony Orchestra
and an effort at a civic opera, un-
fortunately, a Cinderella at pres
ent, banished to the cinders to
await the coming of Prince
Charming and a silver slipper. In
Europe, the problem of getting
enough money to keep orchestra
and opera going, has been solved
by having government subsidy.
Becoming members of either of
these is the reward allotted to
the best pupils of the National
Conservatory thereby presenting
an incentive to study and the
helpful rivalry which brings out
ones best.
Is that too impossible an end to
keep in view?
