at 4 o'clock She will appear in the
Saint-6aens Concerto on the following

Miss Lent has proved one of the big
gest musical finds Of recent years. Not
| only is she American born, but prac-
tically all Of her training has been
gained in this country. Her first
teacher was her father, cellist Of
note. Later she studied with Franz
Kneisel. When Leopold Auer. the
greatest violin teacher Of them all,
was the first pupil he accepted.
Upon the advice of this master she
decided to make her formal debut in
Berlin This she did in 1922, while
| still In her teens. Concerts in Dresden,
Leipzig and Munich followed, were a
success, and her annual concerts in
Germany have been to crowded houses
ever since.
Miss Lent made her New York debut
on March 5, 1923. Her work since that
time has fulfilled the verdict of the
critics-that she was an artist with a
world career before her. Since then
her technical mastery, pure singing
tone and superb musicianship have
been heard with every great orchestra
Of the country, as well as in innumer-
able recitals
The Lent household, at 1923 Cor
coran street northwest, is truly
musical one-members Of the family
and friends join in playing quartets and

May Bolster Law
In New York, home owners are

from a moratorium provision in
the State law, and it is expected
that if abuses become general
under the Home Loan program
similar action may be taken else
where. 1t is also brought out that
the home owner, in case of fore
closure, has a right of redemp-

that additional legislation at the

who violate the spirit of the
