WORLD of
MUSIC
Splendid Russian CeLLtSt

IT IS not often nowadays that the
concert halls of New York OBJ
tain capacity audience. Economic
conditions are such that it is not
unusual to find artists and man
ayers running around half frantic
in order to make the concert pay"
and not be afraid of running into
severe financial losses just to keep
pace" Our bankrupt system has
seen to it that there will have to
be a merger between the Philhar-
monte and the Metropolitan in Or
der to staYe OF the complete col
lapse Of the opera. It has seen to
it that the London String quartet
should dissolve after an association
Of Is years because 1.-The people who
want to go because they love music,
often cannot afford to-" So when
one does see a capacity concert
hall, there is reason to sit up and
take notice.
Such an occasion was the debut
at Town Hall on Dec. Bird, of Raya
Garbousova, a young Russian cellist
of Tiflis. Having studied at the
TifliS Conservatory and then at the
Moscow Conservatory, she finished
her studies with Pablo Casals. The
program she presented would do
credit to any cellist, including Wal
lenstein and Piatogorsky.
The program included works by
Haydn, Roger, Boccherini, Tschai-
kowsky and a group of shorter
pieces by Scriabin, Rinsky- Korsa-
kof and Albeniz. From the very
start, one Immediately felt the
presence of a mature artist. Not
only is Garbousova equipped with
fawleSS technique, but she had
the other requisites of musicianly
accomplishments full warm tone,
delicate and understanding phras-
ing and a perfect bowling. 1t was
in the Variations on a Rocco
Theme" by Tschaikowsky that all
these signs of a mature artist APP
peared at their best. Rifnsky- Kor-
sakoff's Flight of the Bundle Bee"
was played with such delicacy and
f1nesse that the audience insisted
upon repetition. Such artistry,
especially on such difficult instru-
ment as a cello, has seldom been
heard here before.
One can't close this review with
out thinking how much artists
would never have to worry about
a concert paying" for itself, how
unnecessary it would be to think
Of financial failures, how an audi
ence would be able to attend con-
certs and be able to afford" it
were we living in a world where
the artist and audiences are one
in a Soviet AfIierica.-R. S.

Take it from Miss Helen Irwin
vice-president Of the Wardrobe and
Checkroom Attendants Union, whose
members are now picketing mid
town night clubs to compel recog-
nition Of their organization - this
stuff about the glamor of working
in night club is the bunk.
And speaking of picketing, i,
should be reported here thet Del

the biggest clubs, have already

but It's not true. Chorus girls, show
girls, sometimes make a good mari

Most Of the check room and cigar

Aside from lacking glamor, the

as it the intention of the sani-
tary department to actually exc
cute stray dogs and cats?" was the
question asked of The Citizen to-
day by citizen who owns a pet.
The answer is that not only is
it intended but 10 animals were
painlessly put TO death yesterday
morning in the lethal chamber
recently constructed at the city
dock. foot of Simonton street.
Seven OF them were dogs and
three we4'e cats. Death came
within three minutes after the
flow of carbon monOxide gas was
directed from the exhaust pipe of
the catcher's truck.
There viii probably be other
executions within a brief time as
there were Is animals caught
Thursday night and if the owners
do not pay the pound fees and Sc
cure the necessary license within
AZ hours the same fate awaits the
dogs that was melted out to those
yesterday.
Many people complain of the
dog and cat nuisance. If they are
in earnest they can give great
assistance to the health authOri-
ties. Catch the dog or cat, or
dogs and cats, responsible for the
nuisance. Keep them safe until
the arrival of the garbage wagon

tive, or captives. to the driver.
That is all that Is necessary,
says j. B. Reed. in charge of the
