CANDLELICHT
CONCERT OF
FIVE PLAYERS
Washington Chamb ber
Music Society in First
Program This Season.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The first candlelight concert Of the
second season of the Washington
Chamber Music Society took place
yesterday at the home of Mrs. Edwin
B. Parker. The personnel of the
society this year is made up of Mr.
Sevely, first violin; Mr.. Goldscher,
second violin: Mr.. Essers, viola: Mr.
Mitchell, cello, and Gertrude Nash,
pianist.
The audience which usually pat
ronizes this less spectacular form of
music are real lovers of music, for in
no form of presentation can one
enjoy the true flavor of music as
when listening to four we'll blended
string instruments. The Washington
Chamber Music Society has added
telling bit of atmosphere by playing
under the subdued light of candles,
and at yesterdays concert it was
easy to imagine oneself back in an
other century when mobiles patrons
OF this type of music made practice
of gathering their guests together in
similar atmosphere to listen to the
latest work of some famous COM
poser
AS if seeking to adjust their playing
to the aesthetic scene, the four artists
gave special attention to tone quality
achieving sweetness of sound and
a smoothness of harmony throughout
that was far removed from the over
dramatic effects of these modern days
This particular quality, which was
SO beautifully expressive in yesterday S
program, would not always fit in to
wider ranging among the literature
of chamber music. However, for the
exquisite Quartet op. l3, No. q" by
Beethoven; the "Intermezzo, by
Ippolitoff- f-Ivanow, and the "Entr'acte
No. o. by Schubert, it was a perfect
medium of projection and the four
players further demonstrated their ar
tistic understanding in unison of in
tention and technical adjustability.
In Pochon's quartet arrangement of
Moussorgsky's Promenade" from the
Petite Suite" one missed certain
Solidity as tonal foundation and a
lack of correct pictorization, which
this opening number Of the suite pro-
vides for what is to follow. Again,
in the Dohnanyi Quintet op. l" the
dramatic fire would not have been
realized without the viril leading of
Gertrude Nash at the piano. Mrs
Nash, in the two movements of the
Quintet, which were given, "Adagio
quasi andante" and Allegro animate. "
brought out the contrasting moods
and carried the concert to an eloquent
finish. The large audience demon
strating by its numbers the interest
in this young organization, paid the
artists the compliment of undivided
attention and appreciative applause
at the end of each performance.
The Washington Chamber Music
Society has something new to offer to
the city's music circles and no better
evidence Of realization of this can
be had than the distinguished group
who are sponsoring the concerts and
the size of yesterdays audience. The
next concert will take place January
IA at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Frost.

"STUDENT TOUR" Is
SHOWING AT COLUMBIA
Picture Starts Off Well and Then
Travels a Long, Uninter-
esting Course.

M-G-M spent a good deal Of time
and money on Student Tour" which
opened yesterday at Loew'S Columbia.
A great many pretty girls were signed,
Jimmie Durante and Charles Butter
worth were corralled as comedians
song writer's got together and produced
some good music, sets lavish enough
to knock your eye out were built, and
little Maxine Doyle and Phil Regan
were borrowed from Warner Bros. to
play the Juvenile" leads.
Then, something happened. The
further along they got, the more they
seemed to get nowhere-and the story,
something about an international
race and getting the boys to row to
the beat of music, and philosophy
course, and an ocean liner, and Miss
Doyle singing the boys to victory
was far from convincing. So, to
help matters out, Nelson Eddy was
yanked into the thing and made to
sing a song which is about the best
thing in the film.
1t doesn't seem right, being loyal
Doyle-ite, to say that Miss Doyle fails
to be convincing. No girl. of course,
gets fair chance if she has to play
most of her business shrouded in
glasses. When she comes out from
under them she is as pretty as she
actually is. But for the rest the di-
rector seems to have needlessly quieted
her down and to have removed that
spark of the hoyden which is Maxine's
best attribute.
Mr. Durante is continually unfunny,
although Mr.. ButterWorth tries to help
him along. You'll get some laughs
out of the latter and enjoy Phil Regan
singing that Moon Over Your Shoul-
der" number. But. to be quite truthful.
Student Tour" is pretty long and
pretty awful. E. de S. M.

in the audience last night said
that they enjoyed it enormously
and since it is they to whom Messrs.
Howard and Littell are preaching the
arrows point to possible prosperity.
Some of this is due to the lines;
none of it is due to the plot-and
most of it is due to such excellent
actors as Messrs. Connolly and Truck.
Frederick Perry, Eduardo Ciannelli
and Margaret Dale, whose entrance
last night indicate that she has many
friends in this part of the world, as
she has, of course, everywhere.
Sally Bates. in the strange role of
Nine. Daphne Polysiodes, played it in
a sort of highly-seasoned Hollywood
fashion which may be what the role
calls for, and then again maybe not.
At any rate. at the risk of incurring
the extreme displeasure of everybody
concerned (and it is a pleasure to
welcome Mr.. Connolly back from the
cinema and to see Mr.. Truck bound
ing around as a waiter with gang
ster'S SouD We shall have to admit
that we were vastly disappointed in
this enterprise, and hope, earnestly
hope, that before it gets itself to
Broadway. it will sit down, take a
deep breath and work on itself with
all the joy that there undoubtedly is
in the authors. the actors and the
producers hearts. The stuff is there
but it needs stuffing.

"Gather Ye RoSebudS" has its
bright moments, but the authors and
smart Max Gordon must have Sensed
last night that even these bright mo-
ments need Frightening. You can
have Ernest Truck appear as an ex-
gangster who is ekeing out his days on
the shores of an Aegean Sea; you can
have him a meek, kindly little man
who is bear on repeating KiplingS
If (by far the best moment in the
show in the midst of harping back
on its 52-notch gun days; you can
have Walter Connolly as Wall Street
lion, hiding away from his former
haunts and helping to plot a new
Ioanian financial code-but when that
is about all you have, except Mr..
Truck knocking down Madame
Daphne Polyzoides and that excellent
actor, Frederick Perry, playing an
American minister, then it is time
perhaps to shuttle the cards again.
And just to be downright unkind about
it all (when we have no desire to be,
being a Stanch admirer of both the
authors writings) we shall have to
admit that the play reminded us of
