Symphony to Play
Second Concert
OF Season Here
Lamar Stringfield's "Leg.
end of John Henry" to
Feature Program q"


"The Legend Of John Henry"
symphonic poem founded upon
. the life and death of steel driver
who pitted his strength against
the machine age, written by La
mar Struggled from material
gathered in his native state Of
North Carolina, will be one Of the
principal features of the concert
to be presented here Thursday
night by the North Carolina Sym
phony orchestra, of which Mr..
Springfield is musical director.
The legend tells how John
Henry, saint and savior of those
who work with their hands,
weighed 40 pounds at birth. While
yet an infant he foresaw his own
doom and prophesied "The ham
mer'll be the death Of me-" Like
the prophecy, Mr.. Stringfeld's
composition has been variously in
terpreted. An acknowledged au-
thenticity of musical and literary
source has been determined, but
all the versions of John Henry ac-
quired by Mr.. Struggled go to
make up the sources. Awaiting
himself of the devices of simplifi-
cation, 'stylization and generaliza-
ton, the composer has established
a comparable but different pat
tern. ...... .......
The John Henry of the epic,
grown to mans estate, with giant
frame and hardened muscles, ham,
mers away in the Big Ben tunnel
until the mountain catches fire.
High cadences reveal the hero eX-
ulting in his strength as strong
passages describe his playful rug
gedness. Then. comes. the contest
as the first steam drill is brought
into action. Against the new ma
chine John Henry pits his splendid
strength. WELDING nine-pOund
hammer, he drives away as his
companions cheer him hoping for
their champions victory. Through
the music may be heard the pow
erful clamor of the machine and
the great hammer strokes of the
man. By superhuman effort John
Henry exceeds the work of the
steam drill but after calling for a
cooling drink of water, expires
from his exertions.
Neither the legend nor Mr..
Stringfeld's music end in full
tragedy, as Polly Ann, John Hen
RVS little wife, assumes her hus-
bands pride and declares she'll
"drive steel like a man."
The orchestra will present the
second concert of the season here
Thursday night in the high school
auditorium. starting promptly at
80 O'clock. go.
The North Carolina Symphony
band, under leadership of A. D.
Yajoie, will give an open-air free
concert on the back campus Of the
high school beginning at $50.
Both concerts are being pre-
sented under auspices of the Hen
Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce,
with o. Y. Brownlee, chairman of
the entertainment division in
charge of arrangements. Advance
tickets may be obtained from the
Chamber of Commerce.
Both orchestra and band are be-
