amusing episodes. The first, called

takes q young man, unworldly and full
of the zest Of living, through many ex-
periences as he seeks his fortune in the
big city.

already in this unusual ballet company
which emphasizes the funny side of
life in its mining and dancing. AL

America this season, on January IA,
at the Shoreham, Concerts Iatimes
Course, Elena de Sayn, director, is
sailing from England January 4. His
appearance in Washington will be
followed by tour through the States

Egon Petri, son of noted violinist,
at one time concertmaster of the ia
nous Gewandhaus Orchestra, under
Nikish, began his public career by
playing the violin in his fathers string
quartet organization, and studying to
become an orchestra conductor.
Busoni, a close friend of the family,
was the first to recognize Petri's talent
for the piano and offered to teach
him. However, it was only upon the
suggestion of Paderewzki that the
youthful Petri decided to concentrate
upon the piano. Paderewski, who was
attending the premiere of his opera,
"Manru," in Dresden, heard him play
aud was so impressed with the young
mans performance that he advised
him to give up the violin and to con-
centrate his energies on becoming a
virtuoso pianist.
In 1928, Petri, invited by the Rus
sian government to give a series of
concerts is Moscow and Lenlngrad,
made sensation. Hailed as a second
Paderewski, he returned to Russia in
subsequent years, playing some 33l
concerts, once giving three recitals
within single day. While in Russia
he visited such far-away places as
Caucasus, Ural and Armenia, whence
he returned, to Central Europe.
In connection with Petri's program
In Washington, many requests have
been received for the italian Ccu-
certo" by Bach, and the Liszt Sonata
IN B Minor" There are more ballots
for the latter than for either of the
Beethoven sonatas proposed. The
resume of the majority of votes will
reach Mr.. Petri before he leaves Eng
land, in accordance with his request.

the dramatic form. DR.. Kinder has,
therefore, assumed responsibility for
presenting as much of opera music as
possible on his programs The gen.

vincingly demonstrated already this

John Mccormack, tenor, was orig

sence from the country.
With the plans for the new year the

The concert on February 2, featur-
ing Myra Hess, as soloist; Dr. Kinder
as conductor, and the orchestra, will

previously announced, will be in the
regular series Of Sunday afternoon
programs.
THE second program, planned for
the night Of February CMonday)
in Memorial Constitution Hall, adjoin-
ing Constitution Hall, will present
Myra Hess, the English pianist; Hans
Kinder, cellist, and the Musical Art
Quartet. This feature of the SYM
phony season has been arranged chiefly
for members of the Orchestra Associa-
tion and other regular patrons of the
symphony. Memorial Continental Hall
furnishes ideal facilities for presenting
chamber music. However, the audi
torium, limited in size, offers only a
restricted number of seats. Early ap-

that Will lnclude excerpts from Wag-
ner's operas, "Lohengrin, ''Das Rhein-
gold" and Die Walkure."
Both singers are known almost the
world over for their singing on the op-
cratic and on the concert stage. They
have been in wide demand as soloists
with symphony orchestras whenever
the works of Wagner are played, and
SO highly is their singing regarded that
everywhere their interpretations of the
famous roles in the Wagnerian reper-
toire are considered standard.
Miss Alsen has been hailed as one
of the greatest Isoldes in operatic his
tory, and her singing of many other
of the German composers heroines
has brought her unqualified praise.
Her singing is so forceful and her per-
sonality so magnetic that her appear
anceS with symphony orchestras in
concert have been no less enthusiast
tically acclaimed than have been her
appearances in opera.
Paul Althouse is as fine tenor as
there is on the stage, opera or concert
today. He has concertized extensively
in the United States and Europe, and
has been heard also in Canada, in
Mexico and in Cuba. His Wagnerian
career matches Miss Alsen's. Among
singers of the roles of Wagner he oc-
cupies a place as high as hers.
DR. KINDLER promised an all
Wagner concert at the beginning
of the current season, last Fall. He
included it among the important prof.
