"a suggestion for using and pre-
serving the daily music themes:
Many teachers Of music apprecia-
ton advise their pupils to clip the
daily themes, paste them on 3x5
filing cards, place the composers
name at the top, and file them in
alphabetical order by cOmposers.)
DR.. Leopold Stokowski, director
of the Philadelphia Symphony Or
chestra, did not treat the wind in
strumentS as If they were STEP
children, last night at Constitu.
ton Hall.
An orchestral balance and
beauty Of tone that is seldom
heard, characterized the concert.
The strings were never allowed to
even cloud the tones Of the wood
winds. .f
Stokowski directs without the
use Of a baton, seeming to prefer
the more expressive movements of
the fingers in drawing out the
music. Sometimes one would
wonder II he had not recently
visited a dairy farm that did not
use milking machines, when he
appears to gather the tones from
the thin air with the fingers of
both hands wide spread and bring
ing them down with the fingers
squeezed tight against the palms.
The gloom or melancholy that
some conductors are able to read
into the Brahms symphony No.
f." was quite absent last night.
Stokowski did not accomplish this
by speeding up the time of the
work, but by paying minute de-
tail to every expression scored.
The soft and crescendo passages
were done in an exquisite manner.
No section was ever pushed be-
yond the limits of good tone in
the fortiSsimo sections.
When the violins had embelliSh-
ing phrases under the melody car.
ried by some other section, their
voices were as the breath Of
spring. The vigorous joy of the
third movement was expressed
with unrestrained gaiety. The
final movement gave the final ut
terance in an intoxicating rhythm
that brought immediate response
from the audience.
Just why DR.. Stokowski used
the overture to "Rienzi," which is
Of a rather superficial brilliance
sometimes bordering on the vul-
gar, to open the second section Of
the program is not quite clear.
Possibly he hoped to give the first
trumpet player a chance to work
his lip in for the overture to
"Tannhauser," which followed
later. The extra exertion on the
part of the trumpeter proved his
undoing when he muffed a high
tone in the latter work.
The Bacchanale and Venusberg
Music from "Tannhauser," left
little of the tonal coloring and
dramatic possibilities of the or
cheStra untouched. The lombard
The Washington times., 1935-10-25

ment from the percussion section
made 1t a pleasant relief after the
concert to witness the interpreta-
ton Of noise made by the maestro
in white overalls that presided
over the steam pile driver in the
lot in front of Constitution Hall.
An additional work was in
cluded in the program which was
dedicated to the Japanese Ambas-
sador. The piece was entitled
"Konoye," an old Japanese tune
dating from the 9th or 9th cen
tury. The authorship is accred-
tied as "winging down from heav-
en-" DR.. Stokowski's interpreta-
ton of this quaint number was re-
markably similar to the tonal
quality Of Japanese instruments.
The theme for the second move
ment Of Beethoven's "Eroica"
symphony which will be heard in
Constitution Hall Sunday, is pur-
posely omitted as it is a typical
funeral march. It has never been
explained why Beethoven chose to
bore an audience with listening to
the mournful strains of a funeral
march for twenty minutes.
Perhaps Willem van Hoogstraa-
ten, guest conductor Of the Ma.
tional Symphony Orchestra, will
surprise his listeners and make q
cut in this movement. A funeral
march will achieve its purpose
with any audience in five minutes.
The theme shown above from
the third movement offers joyous
relief from the preceding dirge.
This scherzo movement opens
with a soft but swift action on
the part of the strings. The oboe
quickly introduces the above
shown happy theme as if to urge
the flying strings on their way.
Midway in this movement de-
lightful trio played by the horns
in q theme like a hunting call,
diverts attention from the first
theme. The trio when played
strictly IN time proves difficult
passage for the horns. The open
ing theme soon returns and
sweeps on to a powerful climax.
Another American singer has
been engaged by the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company. Mr.. Edward
johnson general manager Of the
Metropolitan in speaking Of the
engagement Of Dusolina Giannini
said she was IAN artist who
should have been at the Metro
politan years ago."
Miss Giannini who was born in
Philadelphia of Italian parentage,
has received all her vocal training
in this country. She has ap-
peared here extensively in concert
and with orcheStras. She was
chosen this summer to sing in the
famous Salzburg festival under
ToScanini.
In speaking of the future of the
Metropolitan, Mr.. johnson said
the Metropolitan has its high
hat off, and its coat too. We want
to bring back the glamor to opera.

TUGWELL TOWN
HIGH SCHOOL
SOUGHT

BRANCHVILLE, Nd, Oct. 25.
A campaign to establish a single
high school to serve Tugwell Town
and the surrounding towns was
begun last night with the forma-
ton Of the Berwyn District Civic
Association. ..
The new association will ask
the Rural Resettlement Admins
tration, in charge of the $500, 900
low-cost housing project near
here, and the Prince Georges
Board Of Education to locate a
high school outside Tugwell Town
limits so that it will be available
to students from Berwyn, Berwyn
Heights, Branchville, Daniels Park
and Hollywood.
Burch Named Head
Population of the new town will
not support a high school, when
the property becomes asSeSsable
by the county, it is said. Sur
rounding towns likewise do not
provide enough pupils now for
such a school, in the opinion Of
the Board of Education. Sepa-
rate elementary schools are
planned for each of the sections,
however.
Planning a wide program Of
civic development, the associa-
ton elected T. Raymond Burch,
Of Berwyn, president. w. E. Null
ligan, vice president, A. Jack
Roberts, secretary, and Arthur
Gahan, treasurer.
With the school project fore
most on the slate, the association
will urge the extension Of Rhode
Island Avenue from the District
line to provide an arterial high.
way into the section, supplement-
ing the Baltimore Boulevard. the
most Travelled road in the State.
Underpass Sought
The association will also seek
an underpass at the intersection
of the Baltimore Boulevard and
Metzerott Road for children at
tending the elementary school at
Berwyn, while Mr.. Mulligan was
named chairman Of the public
utilities committee, which is to
study telephone rates and street
car service in the area. The as
sociation adopted a resolution
protesting the use Of one-man
street cars.
The group voted to affiliate
with the county Federation Of
Citizens Associations, The next
meeting will be November 4.

The 1885 contract does not re-

only two hogs and home slaughter
