velopment of the orchestra. The
varied effects which are brought
about by control and release Of
power give the orchestra freedom OF
execution which is not yet salts
factorily arrived at In more re-
strained type of compositions.
No finer or more careful playing,
however, has been done than the
Interpretation given the symphony.
The richness of subject matter and
the completeness Of form Of this
work could easily mislead one into
the idea that simple attention to
detail would be sufficient: However,
the mixture of thought, human
emotion and spiritual ecstasy are so
interviewer and necessary one to the
other that 1t requires a deeper delv-
ing to extract and emphasize their
individual moments. It Is a COM
position Of magnificent climaxes
that achieve power through the re-
lationship to the small and impor-
tant anecdotes that precede their de-
velopment. The human story, with
its phases of earthly emotion and
final spiritual uplift, is expressed in
the richness of orchestration and
the recurrent use Of certain instru-
ments for certain effects. The or
chestra played with warm sentiment
and sonorous tone that reached a
thrilling volume of sound In the
majestic choral-like finale.
The contrasting lie Rouet dom
phale" was bound to appear meager
after the symphony, but its origi-
nality and unexpectedness had a
decided charm.
The program finished with the
'"Tannhauser Overture" whose So
lennity and sublimity made a Mt
ting ending both for the concert and
this years orchestral season. A. E.

A CONCERT by members of the

played Brahms ~Raphsody In 3
Minor" and "Intermezzo In G Major"
and Rachmaninofi's prelude IN b
Flat Major" with powerful tone and
q virtuoso style which made his
playing colorful in contrasts and
brilliant in execution. Prolonged
applause greeted Mr.. Tibbs' appear
ance on the stage and was redoubled
in enthusiasm after his superlative
rendition Of Liszts' Concerto IN e
Major" In which he was assisted by
Charles Cecil Cohen at the second
piano.
The exacting aria, "Ritorna Vim
vitor," from Verdi's Aida" was well
interpreted by Carolyn Grant, but
the real beauty Of her voice was best
heard in Winter Watts "The Little
Shepherd" and Ronald's Summer"
In these two numbers the lyric
quality of tone was fresh and pure
and she sang with abandon and
ease, : She was accompanied by
Madeline Coleman, who was in COM
plete sympathy with her interpreta-
tionS.
r. Todd Duncan, baritone, dis
played q voice Of rich, mellow quail
ity, which he used skillfully to por-
tray the sentiment Of bis. songs.
Sincerity of feeling and hroadness
of ideas gave his interpretations an
interest beyond the mere musical
pirasing. An effective spiritual,
death Song" originally discovered
and arranged by Camille iNickerson,
who accompanied Mr.. Duncan,
proved to be a valuable addition to
the lists of Negro spirituals. Mr..
Duncan sang 1t with majesty and
psthos. Massenet,s VISION, Fugi-
tive," from "Heriodiade";; Curran's
"Nocturne"' and La Forge's "IHlls"
gave opportunity for display of
versatility to which Mr.. Duncan's
musical equipment was more than
equal. -:
The sSonata Opus 49," by Gabriel
Faure, for violin and piano, was
played by Louis Vaughn Jones,
violinist, with william Allen at the
piano. Both artists gave mastery
Interpretation and Mr.. Jones' fin
ished technic and crystalline tone
was shown to advantage. The con-
cert ended with the recitative and
scenes from Verdi's LA Traviata,"
sung by Miss Grant and Mr.. Dun
can, with Lillian NJ. Baskervill at
the piano and accompanied by the
De Sale String Quartet, composed
Of Louis Jones, first violin: j. Rich
mond johnson, second violin; Fran
ces Miller. viola. and William L
Brown, cellist.
A large and enthusiastic audience
was generous In its expression Of

Why COd-LiUer Oil Is
Important for Babies

Cod-liver oil is not a medicine but a
food. 1t acts as a food, and is con-
sidered SO important in children's winter
diet that nutritioniStS urge it regular
use no matter how reduced the income
Fifteen to twenty-five cents week will
provide small regular amounts of cod
liver oil for each child under years
old-from 2 to teaspoonfuls a day
says the Bureau Of Home Economics.
If mothers in families whose food sup
ply is low can manage somehow to save
out this much money through the win
ter months for cod-hver oil their
children will probably escape ricketts,
and will be more able to resist infection
The bureau also suggests that relief
workers who are distributing food sup
plies include cod-hver oil as well as
milk in the ration for all families
where there Is baby.
Cod-iver oil was in household use
long before it was understood what
made it SO valuable. When vitamins
were first discovered, about 20 years
ago, cod-liver oil was found to be rich
in Vitamin A, the anti-infective vita
min. Later, vitamin D was found, and
this proved to be the substance neceS-
sary to prevent ricketts,, a disease which
retards bone development, often causing
crooked legs.
