On four separate occasions the
name of Miss Mary Turner, popular
young Minneapolis Miss, has been
omitted by inadvertence from four
distinct news stories. Recently, we
apologized for omission. Again, we
must do the same thing. In the story
in last issue which told of the partici-
pants in the Mardi Gras floor show,
the name of Miss Turner was con-
spicuous by its absence. Miss Turn
er was one of the tap dancers in the
show. Why we are able to forget so
frequently young woman as attrac-
tive, charming and as worthy of men,
ton as Miss Turner we do not yet
understand. Let US hope it will not
happen again.

"HE fact that DR.. Hans Kinder
has gathered the men of the
National Symphony Orchestra
L together today for the first re-
hearsal of the coming season,
which opens in two weeks, on october
81, makes apropos an interesting ques-
ton which is seldom raised. This is,
Can the experienced listener tell the
playing of an orchestra, despite who
happens to be conducting?
Today the orchestra will rehearse
Dvorak's beloved symphony, From the
New World" and Ravels Ma Mere
i Dye" (Which, translated, is Mother
Goose Tales"), both of which will be
played on the opening concert program
a fortnight hence. It is safe to say
that the manner and spirit Of Kinder
conducting will so develop this music
that something of this manner and
spirit will remain in the orchestra S
playing of the scores even when, at
some future possible time, great con-
ductor would choose to present them.
The National Symphony has a fair
for certain music. How much Of it Is
Kinder and how much is the motive
that first brought the orchestra into
being, no one can say. To play certain
things, something more than just the
feeling of doing a Job must be there.
Perhaps it is better indicated by the
spirit and loyalty which brought the

Civic Orchestra Plans.

Musical activities in the COM
munity centers throughout the
city have already begun for the COM
ing season. At Central High School
building on Tuesday evenings there
is the weekly rehearsal Of the Com
munity Center Civic Orchestra, under
the direction of Bailey F. Alart. There
are still certain instruments that are
badly needed in this organization.
Cellists and three more string basses
are required. 1t is planned to start
the series of free concerts about No
vember !, and they will take place
every third Tuesday evening.
Later in the season there will be a
certain number of pay concerts by
the Civic Symphony Orchestra. The
concerts will be offered in two parts.
the first part to include only or
chestral music of symphonic type,
and the second part to consist OF
stage presentations requiring not only
nStrumentalists, but actors, singers
and dancers. The orchestra rehearsals
are at pm. on Tuesdays, and audi
tions are conducted by Mr.. Alart prior
to the rehearsal period and other
evenings by appointment.

Art Forum Meeting.

TALENTED Washingtonians and
newcomers to Washington will
have an opportunity to become
acquainted with the International Art
Forum as a center Of artistic apprecia-
ton and enterprise at general meet
ing, open to the public, on Wednesday
evening, at $50, at the residence of
Clelia Fioravanti, Harvard Hall, 1850
Harvard street northwest.
Nine Amelia Cont, founder-presi-
dent, has striven since the organiza-
tion of the forum in June, 1882, to
make it a center of mutual cultural
interest and entertainment for Wash
ington artists and art patrons, through
its program of recitals, lectures,
foreign language evenings, group visits
to art galleries and social functions.
The organizers Of the forum plan to
gain public recognition for Washing
ton artists of merit by facilitating or
arranging public appearances for them
in Washington and in other cities, by
arranging additions before prominent
musical directors and concert man
ayers and by stimulating appreciation
of local talent.

Col. Vastly de Basil, formerly q
military officer of old Russia and more
recently the director of the Russian
Opera in Paris, is the guiding spirit
of the Monte Carlo Ballet Russo. He
it was who gathered together the
dancers Of Diaghilev's disbanding
company, added to them the rising
young talent from the studios of for
mer prima ballerinas Of the Imperial
Russian Ballet Of Petrograd, who now
pass on the torch Of the great tradi-
ton in Paris. The company has a
repertoire of classic and modern dra-
matte productions, complete with
music by the masters, stage setting
and colorful costumes by the leading
painters of Europe.

return from a Summer in Europe. He
said: "I feel profoundly optimistic
about its future, for talents, hopeful
ness and opportunities abound. Amer
ican music is naturally in a cruder
state Gin reference to English music),
for it is younger country, a younger
culture. The American composers
who seem to give the greatest promise
at this time are Roger Sessions, Aaron
COPELAND and Roy Harris. There Is
also a RusSian-American, Nicholas
Berezovsky, who is brilliantly talented"
Always ready to support the cause
of new music, Koussevitsky will intro
duce several new compositions to the
American, and possibly Washington
public. Stravinsky's latest work,
"Persephone," the premiere of which
took place in Paris in the Spring, and
his ballet, "Le Baiser de la Fee" will
be given their first American per-
formance by him. A new symphony
by the Italian composer, Malipiero; a
new cello concerto by Berezovsky and
a second symphony by Roy Harris Will
be other novelties which this artistic
conductor will sponsor. The profound
musicianship of Koussevitsky, which
he has dedicated to the end of foster
ing new ideals in music, IS sufficient
guarantee that the young composers
have a genuine and unique talent that
deserves the interest of the concert
public.
THE much -talked-of and greatly
desired possibility of film pro-
ductions of grand opera has received
decided impetus from the excellent
reproduction of the singing OF Grace
Moore in her latest picture, "One
Night of Love" The new method of
recording recently devised by General
Electric permits the full beauty of an
operate voice to be heard from its
lowest to its highest note. Hereto
fore operate singing has not come
over clearly through the microphone,
| even the Metropolitan Opera broad
casts sometimes suffering from the
strong resonance and great volume
necessary for effective operatic sing
ing. Miss Moore's voice is a mag
| nificent one, round in quality and
easy and clear throughout its wide
range. In this film it scars glori-
ously, with clear, vibrant tone, up
into the heights with only an in
finitesimal amount of blurring which,
without doubt, will soon be taken
| care of.
Miss Moore sings several Of the be-
loved arias, giving a particularly
beautiful rendition Of the. touching
Butterfly aria, "Un bel d." Every
nuance and every tone registers as dis
tinctly as if sung in a concert hall,
and renews the hope that before long
the filming of opera with the great
singers in their favorite roles will be
an assured fact. There might be some
exception taken to the ideas of life in
Italy, of Italian methods of vocal
training and the correctness of oper-
attic costuming as portrayed in the
film, but that belongs to the realm OF
film fantasy and has nothing to do
with the reproduction of Schertzingers
beautiful theme music and the gor-
geous singing of Grace Moore under
the direction of DR.. Pietro Cimini.
The mere thought that this film may
be the forerunner Of great operate
filming is inspiring.
