alone. The difficult part was superbly
played by j. Sanroma.
Aaron Copland's suite In I'VE parts,
Music for the Theater," was most
interesting and enjoyable. COPELAND Is
not strictly original in the handling Of
his material and it is doubtful II he
has written anything that will greatly
advance the music Of the dance, but
he Is not ordinary and his composition
has power and inspiration. In moments,
1t rises to an unusual beauty of utter
ance as in the "Interlude" and the
"Epilogue." The banal effects used In
the Dance" and "Burlesque" are too
ordinary for composer of his true
talent to waste time in trying to adjust
to some novel expressiveness. The audi
ence applauded with enthusiasm and
when Mr.. Koussevitsky discovered the
composer in the auditorium and In
sisted on his coming to the stage to
acknowledge the applause, it was re-
doubled in intensity.
An Introduction and Allegro" by
Ravel for harp with string quartet
flute and clarinet, may be said to be
not an outstanding work Of that COM
poser. 1t was the opportunity for some
exceedingly fine harp playing by B.
Zighera Of the orchestra, but beyond
this reached no point of special de-
velopment. It was, however, distinctly
refreshing after the "Octuor" for wind
instruments of Stravinsky, which
seemed designed as an insult to the
intelligence of the listeners.
1t Is no wonder that it was the Bach
suite with its charming opportunities
for flute, splendidly played by M.
Kountz, and harpiscord ensemble that
remained the bright spot of an ad-
venturecus evening. Mr.. Koussevitsky
conducted superbly and did all that
was possible with the material he had
selected.

Dream Of Herrick.
The untiring zeal Of the much be-
loved Ambassador Herrick made this
building . reality. For when he was
instrumental in buying our first en-
bassy In Paris in 1924 he realized that
1t was wholly inadequate for the hous-
ing of even the embassy stafI, and i'm
mediately began to dream Of . build
ing that would reflect glory upon the
American people IN An economic -
well as q social way.
Much of the furniture In the new
quarters was in the former embassy
and was the gift Of patrioic Amer
leans who felt . pride In Uncle Sans
official residence. These beautiful
tapestries, rugs, portraits and old furni-
ture were the gift Of these Americans.
This beautiful residence is q far cry
to the simple, little house at Passy, in
the suburbs Of Paris, in which Benja-
min Franklin, our first Minister to
France, lived. It was not frugality
alone-although he paid his own ex-
penses-which prompted Benjamin to
move to Passy, but an effort to get
away from the admiring crowds that
daily besieged him. It's a coincidence
that our first Ambassador, DR.. Frank
lin and Ambassador Straus are two Of
the few American Ambassadors We have
sent who have had a speaking knowl-
edge Of the French language.
