A CURRENT edition of Mu-
~ sical Courier speaks as fol-
lows in an editorial en-
titled, Artistic Washing
ton: Further appreciation fol
good music is expressed in the
announcement that the National
Symphony Orchestra of Washing
ton has secured enough funds to
be assured of another season in
the Capital City. Already $60,00G
has been raised, and the directors
Of the organization are endeavor-
ing to augment this fund. Under
the baton of Hans Kinder, the
orchestra has enjoyed a success
full artistic season in the shadow
Of the White House and all citi-
zens will be happy to know that
Washington bureaucracieS and
diplomatic circles will again re-
ceive cultural stimulation from
this band of capable musicians. y
A further editorial in the same
issue says: Welcome tidingS come
that the Fort Worth TEX SYM
phony Orchestra, after seven
years of uncertainty. has accom-
pliShed a membership campaign
SO successfully that it will not be
necessary to have a box Office sale
of seats next season.
"Once again the citizens OF an
American community have dem
onstrated that the performance OF
good music is an essential part OF
their lives, and even in time of
penury they have dug deep into
their pockets that they might re-
tain an organization which slim
ulates spiritual existence"
~
TT is curious fact that this year,
of all years, music has not been
found wanting. Although Balti-
more could find a total profit OF
only some 12-odd dollars after the
visit of the Metropolitan Opera,
still it could say that it has kept
Its head above water, and although
this same opera company at one
moment seemed destined to COM
plete failure, it is now assured a
warm reception next season, in
asmuch as the advance seat sale
is already heavier than 1t has
ever been before.
Washington, too, has f1ourished
and. other than the Unexpectedly
satisfactory concerts of the Ma
tional Symphony, has had
chance not only to welcome more
world-famed artists than ever be-
fore, but it has Signified its ap--
proval of many local soloistS of
note. In retrospect, the following
events stand out during the past
season:
Jose Iturbi's concert at Consti-
tuition Hall;
HoroWitz, as soloist, with the
Philadelphia Orchestra;
Hans Kindler's first perform
ance of the "Bolero";
Sylvia Lent and Elizabeth Wins

follows:
Your presentation of the Verdi
opera Aida in Washington will
not only be a great success artis-
tically and muSically, but it will
provide employment for $50 muSi
clans, many of whom have had
no work since the Metropolitan
Grand Opera closed here in New
York" Many members of the
Metropolitan chorus and ballet
are said to be coming here for
this performance These artists
have asked me to express their
thanks to you for the employment
you will give them, and hope you
will decide to offer other operas
in Washington, not only to pro-
vide the citizens of the Nations
Capital with operate productions,
but as a means to providing en-
ployment to artists, musicians,
dancers and many others engaged
in your production"

GLOBE TROTTERS
ARRIVE IN CAPITAL
Twelve Young Germans viii
Appear at Central High
School Tonight.

On q globe-circling hike that already
has taken them across three continents,
IL talented young Germans, members
of that country's celebrated Youth
Movement" tarried here today for a
glimpse of the Nations Capital.
Led by Robert Oelbermann, crippled
cavalry officer, the youths, ranging In
age from Is to rs, started from their
homes In Germany two years ago. Hik-
ing through France and to Lisbon, Por-
tugal, they caught a boat for South
America. On that languorous continent
they spent l8 months, visiting each OF
Its countries and absorbing at first hand
knowledge Of "how the other half Of the
world lives"
Enter q. S. Through Mexico.
Then UP through Mexico they hiked
into the United States, entering through
Texas. Educational films which they
took in South America were shipped
back home and are now being shown in
all UFA theaters throughout Germany.
Expenses are being paid from pro-
ceeds of a show, "TotentanZ," or the
s'Dance Of Death" which the youths
present in each city through which they
pass Although only young amateurs,
the actors are said to play their parts
with the perIectlon OF GalenCeo proieS-
sional.
At Central High Tonight.
Tonight at Central High School the
IL again will put on their show. 1t will
be presented at o'clock, with admis-
sion free. Oelbermann, the crippled
leader, plays the part of the beggar,
while H Riedeger has the role of Death.
The latter is said to have exceptional
ability as an actor, and his fellow men,
bers of the "wanderlust" believe he some
day will carve place for himself in the
theater or in Hollywood.
Since they have been in washington
the youths have been entertained pri-
vately by Serman Ambassador Won
Prittwitz and other friends of Germany.
Here for the past four days, it was not
until today that the young men dis
closed to the newspapers their presence.
