Two string quartets played by the
Ferrara String Quartet-Louis Ferrara
and Alex Levin, violiniStS; Samuel
Feldman, violinist, and Marcel An
cher, cellist-opened and closed the
program. In the quartet by Dorothy
Radde Emery, fine poetic thought
underlined the three movements,
skillfully developed with careful at
tention to the four instruments in
use. The Quartet" is one of the best
of Mrs Emery's compositions, rich in
material and with excellently chosen
harmonic progression minutely de-
scriptive of mood. In 'The Squirrel
and the Humming Bird" dedicated to
Louis Ferrara and the Ferrara String
Quartet, r. Deane Shure has written
a delightfully."- whimsical number, with
interesting technical demands, its gay
moments achieving contrast by the
insertion of sustained melodic pas
sages of rare beauty.
For conciseness of form and unin-
terrupted sweep of inspiration, Louis
Malone'S Quintet" for piano and
string quartet was quite the outstand-
ing number on the program. Mr..
Malone's writing flows freely without
searching for a-modern effects,
yet handling the accustomed har-
monic material with an individual
touch. Two violin pieces by Henry

Wright of the chorus could not have
been bettered by veterans. Another

several vocal numbers which disclose

The comedy is in capable hands.
Billy Foster and Len Kramer are play

comedy offerings.

"HOLY CITY" PRESENTED
BY ORATORIO SOCIETY
Third of Series Given Under
Auspices of Community Gen.
ter Yesterday Afternoon.

"The Holy City" by Alfred Robert
Gaul, was given as the third presen-
tation of the Washington Oratorio
Society organized in January, 1888
and conducted by George F. Kortzen-
born, yesterday afternoon in the Gen.
tral High School Auditorium under
the auspices of the D. C. Community
Center. The society was assisted by
Lillian Latham, soprano; Jessie Dun
lop Werner. contralto; Kroom Bag
ranofh, tenor; Robert Frederick FIRE.
und, baritone. with Gertrude Dyre,
organist; Marjorie Davis, pianist.
and Alfred Manning, harpist. The
work is comparatively short, the
presentation yesterday lasting about
an hour and quarter. 1t is written
in two parts, Contemplation" and
Alteration. The society and its
soloists were enthusiastically greeted.
each OF the numbers being received
with spontaneous applause.
The chorus sang well, the ensemble
being good, the ennuncation distinct
most of the time, and the tone clear
though lacking in color. The sopranos
frequently overbalanced the other
cholrs in the fortissimo passages. The
work of the chorus was particularly
effective in the numbers they sang
without accompaniment. Especially
was this true of the chorus, The
Filming Pot Is for Silver"
Miss Latham, who has a clear, high
voice sang only one solo, These Are
They That Came" which she gave
most effectively and with sincerity.
Miss Werner, the contralto has
deep, rich and resonant voice which
showed to advantage in her two solos,
Eye Hath Not Seen" and Come
Ye Blessed" Mr.. Bagranoff, the
tenor, sang MY Soul Is Athirst For
God" with the proper appreciation
for text which also was evident in his
second solo ITO the Lord Our God"
the closing phrase of which was un-
usually beautiful. Mr.. Freund. bari
tone, sang the solo. "A New Heaven
and a New Earth" with the choral
sanctus, a portion of the chorus sing
ing back stage and without accom-
paniment. This number was among
the most effective of the afternoon,
and Mr.. Freund sang with clear en-
nunciation and beautifully finished
phrases.
No little credit is due Miss Dyre
and Miss Davis as accompanies as
we'll as Mr.. Manning, who not only
PLAYED in several of the numbers. but
with the organ played the intermezzo
at the opening of the second portion
of the work. The intermezzo was
beautiful and very effective.

s. Gregor, "Or1entale" and prelude
in Dorian Mode" were played by Syl-
via Lent, violinist. The compositions
were skillfully written, keeping well
within the limitations of the mood and
form selected, yet expanding with a
certain amount Of broadness. Miss
Lent read the numbers with warm
tone and careful analysis.
Three songs by Edward c. Potter
revealed true gift for vocal writing.
His Might Is Nearing" and dusk
and Dawn" united words and music
appropriately, Mr. Potter having found
the correct tonal color to describe
the poem. In the setting of Brown
ing's "Prospice," Mr.. Potter was not
quite so successful, missing the musi-
cal counterpart for bigness of
thought and mixing his style too
obviously. The songs, however, are
the kind a singer would take pleas
ure in singing and Justin Lawrie's
dramatic and soulful Interpretation
brought out clearly their vocal merit
Mary Howe's Chain Gang Song"
and THE Cavaliers" were effectively
rendered by the double octet from
the American University Glee Club,
directed by Harlan Randall, with
Dorothy Emery at the piano. The
originality of conception of both these
compositions won great favor with
the audience.

ALLEGED BANDIT
 IS WELL GUARDED
Federal Officials Encircle Him With Guns at His
 Hearing

Portland, Me-, July 19-(UP)- Fearful that a trip to court might result in delivery coup, federal authorities established a local pre- cedent today by arraigning Theo- dore Craig. alias BentZ, Kidnapping and bank robber suspect, under a machine-gun guard at Cumber- land county jail. Craig, a swarthy six-footer, pleaded not guilty on a fugitive from justice warrant in connection with $10,000 hold-up at the Caledonia National Bank of Danville, Vt.-the first bank robbery in that state in 59 years.
 U. s. Commissioner Richard K. Gould fixed bail at $50,0O0 and continued the case until July 2S, Craig was unrepresented by coun- sel, but it was announced that Louis Bernstein of Portland would appear as his lawyer at the sub sequent hearing. Craig appeared cool and collected. His wife, freed yesterday after long questioning, was not at the arraignment. It was understood she was being shadowed by federal agents.
 Regarding Craig as a desperate character, authorities have doub- led the guard at the jail. During the arriagnment extraordinary pre- cautions were taken, with a ma- chine-gun, three sawed-off shot guns, and two automatic rifles in the hand of guards.

CONTEMPT CHARGE
 HEARD IN COURT
Judge Peasley to Decide If Local Woman Dis=
 Obeyed Order

Judge Frederick M. Peasley was preparing at press time today to hear the contempt of court pro- ceedings brought against Mrs Hazel o. Northrop of this city by her hus- band, George Lathrop, instructor in the Meriden Trade School. The hearing was set for o'clock. The application to hold the local woman in contempt was brought on Tuesday but Judge Peasley con tinued the matter until today to give the respondent a chance to present the eight year old son who is the object of legal proceedings.
 It was brought out in the peti- tion that Mrs Lathrop failed to de- liver up the child to the father on July l, in accordance with the court order. The court order was passed by Judge Arthur F. Ells when he handed down a decision on the di- vorce brought by Mrs Lathrop against MT Lathrop.
 Judge Els held that the plain tiff, Mrs Lathrop, failed to prove the allegations of her complaint and dismissed her divorce plea. He awarded custody of the child to the mother with the stipulation that the father could visit the youngster at any time. Judge Els also ruled that the custody of the child was to be given the father during the months of July and August during the summer. When the father went to get the boy on July 1st, the lad was not delivered to him, he com plained in his petition.
 If the child is not produced at this afternoons hearing an interest ing situation might arise.
