BOY SURVIVES.
1O0PERAT|0NS

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-What
worries Harold Pfleger now Is how
he Is going to get to school. First
he has to master crutches, and
after that the more difficult tech
mic of an artificial left leg. But
school opens today, and Harold
has learned that crutches are
strangely difficult.
Harold has made a valiant ef-
fort. Time and again he has pull
ed himself up from the wheel chair
and clumped around the dining
room table. Always with some
body holding a protective hand
close by. For Harold has learned
that crutches have way Of STEP
ping out in all directions beyond
understanding.
Unquestionably Harold will de-
feat the crutcheS. In New York
Hospital for nine months, with
chances 10.to-1 against him, he de-
feated osteomyletic and staphylo-
coccuS septicemia, survived IS
blood tranSfusions and 10 opera
tions.
Starting at 102 pounds, he had
dwindled to SO when he was dis
charged on August 3, and now he
is back to 90, which physicians
consider normal, allowing for the
weight of his lost limb.

SINCERE WORK
BY CHAMBER
MUSIC GROUP
RY ALICE EYERSMAN.

THE spacious music room in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Frost was taxed to capacity yesterday
afternoon at the second concert this
season of the Washington Chamber
Music Society.
The soft light of candles, which
has been adopted as an asset for
these concerts, left the many friends
of this group to the quiet contem-
plation of the music, in an atmos-
phere the reverse of large concert
hall. This is the proper manner OF
presenting music, especially chamber
music, for its real value lies in what
the listener can find in it for him.
self, rather than what the artists
desire to present.
The personnel of this comparatively
new organization is composed of Jenc
Sevely and Walter de Lilo, violinists;
Hendrix Essers, violist. and Howard
Mitchell, cellist. 1t has been the
custom to add pianist to the group
and yesterday Gertrude Nash, who
has appeared in several of the pro-
grams, was replaced by Louis Potter
while the ensemble was augmented
by Walter Nash at the second cello
For the first number, Schubert's
Evening star., 1935-01-15

"Quintette Op. 1853" for two violins,
viola and two cellos, was played.
The fundamental quality Of the
talent which forms this group is Of
the best, each artist possessing q clear,
vibrant tone and a well grounded mu-
steamship. There Is still something
to be desired in smoothness of en-
Semble and freedom in Interpretation.
From the standpoint of mechanical
delivery, the Schubert quintette full
filled all demands, yet the evaneScent
something which cannot be taught,
and which reaches to the depth Of a
composition in its discovery of the
poetic content, was just missed in the
playing. One cannot help but feel
this was not due to lack of ability
on the part of the artists, but rather
a preoccupation with externals which
Is quite comprehensive, considering
the short time these musicians have
worked together. It is more with
desire to urge them on to a perfection
of this angle that this criticism is
made
The performance of the Dvorak

strings, came nearer to the spirit
intended by the composer, with Mr..
Potter taking the lead at the piano
with convincing assurance. He is
able to adjust his fine pianistic ability
to the needs of an ensemble, without
sacrifice of his own initiative, while
impressing the authority of his read
ing on his listeners.
At times, the strings achieved an
eery beauty of tone. perfectly matched
in the four instruments. The strong
rhythm which Dvorak has made the
foundation of this quintette was kept
clear and VITAL aiding considerably
In the finely etched outline which the
players sketched throughout the work.
The sincerity of these musicians,
and the valuable contribution they
are making to the most beautiful de-
partment Of music, should find many
interested adherents.
The next concert will take place
February 18 in the Phillips Memorial
Gallery, a hall large enough to &C
commodate comfortably the large
audiences which the society draws.
