Albert SpsIdins
SoIoist With
Symphony
Nv RONALD THORNE

Albert Spalding, known to
Washingtonians chiefly as radio
artist, although he is information
ally famous as violinist, was yes
terday's soloist with the National
Symphony Orchestra at its con-
cert in Constitution Hall, and the
enthusiastic applause he received
indicated clearly that he had won
the hearts Of the audience.
He played first Mozart's Con-
cert in D major, and later in the
program the "Poeme" for violin
and orchestra by Ernest Chausson,
both works which gave him ample
opportunity to reveal his virtuosity.
The enthusiasm Of the audience,
noteworthy after the Mazort con-
certo, was even more marked fol-
lowing the conclusion Of the
Chausson composition, but time
did not permit any encore Sc
lection.
Spalding Is not only in the first
rank Of violinistS, but he has ad-
mirable presence and poise, and
DR.. Hans Kinder and the orches-
ira gave him excellent collabora-
ton in the achievement Of the
effects he sought.
The program opened with Bee
thoven's "Coriolanus" overture, "a
miliar enough, but always enjoy.
able because Of its dramatic char
acter. Massenet's "Phedre" over
ture, equally familiar, and equally
enjoyable, was the closing selec-
tion.
Most interesting Of the purely
orchestral numbers was Chabrier's s
''Bourree Fantasque," a vivid, col
orful work, too seldom performed
by symphonic ensembles.
Yesterdays concert marked the
beginning Of a campaign for q
sustaining fund to insure the or.
chestra's continuance next season.
In aid of the fund, Walter Bruce
Howe, secretary Of the National
Symphony Orchestra Association,
introduced Michael Strange, IA
nous playwright and poet, who
made a stirring appeal for sup
port Of the orchestra.
She pointed to the splendid
achievements Of the organization
thus far, and to the urgent need
Of assistance If it is to continue
to give Washington the splendid
music it has provided in the last
few seasons. Already, she said,
$25, 900 Of the necessary amount
has been obtained, but 100000 is
required, all told.
The National Symphony on
Saturday morning gave another
Of it's delightful concerts for
young people at Central High
School, featuring on this occa-
sion dance form from the Six
teenth century to the present.

Gayety Greets
Joy St. Clair
BY Feg Murray


ington burlesque favorite, returns
to the Gayety's stage in this
weeks attraction, "Girls From
Saxony." Mike Sacks and Benny
C"Wop") Moore handle the comedy
end Of this attraction which is
one Of the most pretentious that
the Wilmer Wheel has put out
this season.
Miss st. Clair lived up to her
reputation last night and literally
stopped the show with one Of
her numbers. She appears in skits
and specialities throughout the
performance so that the real ST..
Clair fans are given their moneys
worth.
Harry Bentley returns with
Comedian Moore and, incidentally,
the two are still fighting. The
two also essay a sketch done
from the audience but they are
much better behind the footlights.
Mike Sacks has several numbers
that are uncommonly good.
The production is enhanced by
the Lopez Sisters, a charming
sister team. This pair puts on q
song and dance act that is swell.
Thelma ROLAND, blonde and
beautiful, and Irene Ross and
Mary Ernest complete the
feminine leads of the show.
Marilyn King appears in q very
clever acrobatic dance number.
The numbers are introduced by
George Jay. Tommy Lavine,
Howard Padden and AL Golden,
jr., complete the cast.
The chorus is well drilled and
good looking. The scenic effects
good. An enjoyable show for any
evening.

UniversaI's S Idea

Edmund Lowe was to have ap-
peared in this film, but decided
to go to New York with his wife,
Lilyan Tashman, instead. Then
Ralph Ballamy was announced
for the part, but Universal sud-
denly got the bright idea that
the role was perfect for Tracy
and have been hot on his trail
ever since.
Gloria Stuart is to have the
feminine lead, and the studio is
now trying to borrow Paul Kelley
from Twentieth Century for an
other featured spot in the picture.
Edward Sedgwick directs.
Universal's picture, Bachelor
Wife," in work only a few days,
is about to have it's third direc-
tor! First Eddie Buzzell was as
signed to pilot the picture, but
begged off, saying it was not the
type Of story he felt he did best.
Then Lloyd Corrigan was handed
the megaphone. After working
an hour, Corrigan decided the
script needed another weeks
work. Then he just walked out!
So now it looks like ALI Werker
will be handed the film to di-
rect.
Gloria Stuart, by the way, has
been trying a trial separation"
from her husband, with very good
results, too, we imagine, because
right now Gloria and her spouse
are off to Palm Springs. They're
trying a second honeymoon!

"The Queen, my mother"
Christina wrote many years
later, "whO apart from the vir-
tues Of her sex, sd all the
vices of it as well, was incOnSOl-
able at my birth. She could not
bear me, because / was . daugh-
ter and ugly"
King Gustavus Adolphus treated
her in every way as his son and
heir and her birth was celebrated
in Sweden exactly as though she
had been a boy.
Christina as Carlo portrays her,
has q man valet &C. Aubrey
SMITH, rides her horse in male
attire and frowns on the romantic
attention Of those who dare to
hope they might attract the queen.
She is not ugly and when dash
ing John Gilbert as Don Antonio,
spanish envoy, appears upon the
scene, their meeting and subSe-
duent relations have all the vital
ity and ardor Of the genuine ar
ticle.
On the throne, Christina was
ever an ardent advocate Of peace.
Dies at 63
The picture closes with her sail
ing away from Stockholm, un-
happy and uncertain about her
future. History tells the rest.
After her voluntary exile from
the homeland she settled in Rome
but Christmas restless nature did
not permit her to be happy in one
SPOT. She was continually journey
ing and numerous times returned
to Sweden to personally appeal
for her delinquent royal allow
ances since the former Queen was
both extravagent and unwise with
money. She dabbled in chem
istry, became a patron Of the arts
and sciences and in her later
years was hostess to the worlds
famous scholars.
Protestant Sweden never for
gave her for becoming convert
to Catholicism and a friend of the
Vatican. She died in Rome at 50,
broken in health, with her modest
possessions bequeathed to her
good and devoted friend Cardinal
Ozzilini. Although called Queen
Christina she was actually
crowned King of Sweden. A lonely
and sympathetic figure she had
many admirable qualities which
endeared her to the people Of
Sweden.
The picturized version Of
"Queen Christina" which comes to
Loew'S Palace Theater on Friday
has the approval Of the Will Hays
office and the various affiliated
organizations on screen censor

SPECIAL HOSPITAL
! BUREAU FAVORED
Medical Auxiliary Stresses
Need for Case Workers
at GaIIinger.

The need of social service de-
partment at Gallinger Hospital for
supplying workers to aid patients in
solving health and social problems
is emphasized in the histories of sew
eral Of the hospitals patients, it was
pointed out today by the Women's
Auxiliary of the Medical Society of
the District of Columbia.
The auxiliary has issued a state
ment urging establishment of such a
bureau. The statement added that
the superintendent of the hospital and
the District Board of Public Welfare
have requested for 1886 the sum of
$11 ,240 for one chief worker at
salary of $4,000 annually; four as
sistant workers at 1900 each and a
clerk at 81 ,440.
In 1884, the statement said, the
hospital admitted 5000 INDECENT pa
tients, and 1904 babies were born
there. Included in the number were
approximately some 200 psychopathic
cases, it was said.
"N0t a Luxury"
1.-THE medical social service worker
Is not a luxury" the statement con-
tinued. The institution which a
worker serves is saved much money
by the intelligent cooperation she
has to offer. In such a hospital as
this one, she helps sift the unworthy
applicants, aids the doctor in his
diagnosis by presenting the patients
background, helps maintain the
morale of the patient and clears the
beds for others by arranging after
care in the home"
In following up cases which have
been discharged from the hospital, the
statement added, the social worker
would be able to aid the patient dur
ing convalescence by advising him
"along health and social lines"
minimizing the chance of the patient
being forced to return to the hospital.
Specified Cases Cited.
Expressing the hope the House Ap-
preparations Committee will approve
the sums named for the Social Service
Bureau, the statement cited several
cases outside in which social workers
have helped patients discharged from
Gallinger.
One of the cases was described as
follows:
"A patient was admitted to Gal
