Twenty of the Middle Atlantic

A surprise entry from Baltimore
was OTIS Ehlers and Andy Baum

ment. Ehlers wrote George L.
1seman, N. D. P. B. C. secretary,
and executive chairman OF the
Atlantic Coast, informing him
that he and his partner would be
on hand full of hope and deter
mination.

appearance as are couple of the

Meyer Jacobson, the Recrea-

Of the season.
Annapolis Bidders
At least Bill Arnold, former
Dixie Sweetstakes champion, and
Gordon Scible. who placed second
to him in that classic in 1884. are
expected to carry Annapolis stand
ard into the fray.
Norfolk and Richmond both will
probably be represented by strong
aggregations, though no word from
either quarter has been forthcom-
ing.
Norfolk did itself proud in sup
porting the recent Dixie Sweep
stakes, and had the satisfaction
of seeing one of its boys, Steve

orchestra was given out, which the.
assistant conductor, Alexander Small
lens, was called upon to lead. The
only thing that remained of the an
ticipated pleasure Of yesterdays con-
cert was the appearance Of Fritz
Kreisler in the Brahms Concerto"
the playing Of which recently in New
York had won him additional laurels.
The program Substitutions comprised
the overture to Berlioz' Beatrice ct
Benedict" and the Schumann ID
Minor Symphony" The choice of the
overture was not a fortunate one to
replace the beautiful Bach transcript
tions made by Stokowski, and which
are particularly appropriate for this
season Of the year.
The pre-holiday concert by the
Philadelphians has usually been
planned with the religious significance
of the season in view, to which Mr..
Stokowski's custom of adding the or
chestral arrangement of some hymn
or Christmas carol as encore has left
his listeners in an exalted mood.
\ 4 X X
MR.. SMALLENS, who took hold of
" his task with great efficiency,
brought out the character of the
overture in brilliant fashion, but at
best it remains scintillating number
of little depth. The "Schumann Sym
phony," which the composer had
originally planned to call Symphonic
Fantasia" is full of the poetic color
and viril feeling which dominated him
in his musical outpourings. 1t moves
with an elan which runs the gamut
from descriptive poesy to passionate
utterance. Mr.. Smallens, in his read
ing yesterday. caught the inherent
spirit Of the work with great felicity.
The second part Of the program was
given over to the Brahms violin
Concerto" with that master musician,
Fritz KreiSler, as its interpreter. In
whatever type of music he essays, Mr..
Kreisler brings into play the unique
feeling and style which have endeared
him to his public. Year by year he has
established himself still more firmly in
the regard of the musical world. and
yesterday he solidified that regard
into supreme expression, as the audi
ence thundered applause at the end
of his performance.
In spite of occasional technical
slips. which tho public has long ago
learned to forgive in his playing, the
great violinist gave one of the most
perfect interpretations Of the difficult
concerto in the memory Of the concert
goer.

Said he: THE elephants were the
most agreeable except for the one that
socked me in the chin. I liked the
monkeys, too. The monkeys in the
front line of the chorus are swell
and there are couple of seals who
will attract good deal of back-stage
fry"
Lou also was pleased with the
clowns. He said he began laughing at
S, after he had led the elephants to
their dressing rooms, and hasn't
stopped yet.
The situation back-stage, however,
Is distinctly unusual. Mr.. Lampkin
says he has never dressed with an
elephant and he doesn't know, by
golly, if he's going to begin now. Then
the seals have terrible habit of
getting in the way-and the monkeys
insist on having the stars room lately
inhabited by Ed Sullivan.
Then, too, the different languages

WITH crisp use of the bow, and
agile fingers that sped over the
strings or drew a wealth of sustained
melody in certain passages, he con-
structed his Interpretation on monu-
mental lines and with keen sympathy
for the composers individuality Of
thought. With infinite skill he brought
to bear his own ripe feeling and tech
nical resources to a master rendition
of this beautiful work.
When he had finished the outburst
Of appreciation from his entranced
listeners showed no signs of dimin-
ishing, nor did the audience make a
move to depart, insiStently demanding
the return of the artist to bow his
acknowledgement. Any disappoint-
ment felt in the absence of Stokow-
ski and the change of scheduled num-
bers was Offset by the rare experience
that Kreisler gave to his admirers in
this one number.

Almost any minute now Phil will

be in the air, caliope will sing out

Scientists Soviet Plan On ,Jaunt
 In Rocket Moon
Rocket Plane Experiments are Held To Pave Way for Eventual Travel

MOSCOW, May - A congress of leading Russian scientists and aero nautical experts decided that soviet experiment had definitely establish ed the possibility of making rocket planes to carry passengers in the stratoSphere, 20 to 30 miles above the earth's surface.
 These rocket propulsion machin es will be considerably faster than the machines of today, the congress predicted, and will constitute the best means of exploring heights never before reached by man, even in balloons.
 The congress was convoked espe- cially for the examination of pro gress in rocket experiments. 1t was announced that stratosphere flights in these devices were meant to pre- pare the way for eventual inter planetary communication, starting possibly with a flight to the moon.
 The type of craft upon which so- viet scientist and constructors are concentrating their efforts will have wings to aid the take-otf and deS cent Preliminary explorations of the upper stratosphere, scientists said, is expected to be carried on by means of automatically operating in- struments dropped from unnamed rockets on parachutes.

or serious injury by the heroism of
Philbert Fry, y, member of the stu
dent traffic control.
On regular duty at street inter
section before school opened, Phil
bert saw a car careening down the
street out of control.
The machine hurtled a sidewalk
and headed straight for the girl.
Philbert made leap and pulled her
to safety.
Philbert completed his traffic as
signment and went to class with
out telling any one of his heroism.
Other pupils told their teacher what
he had done.
Asked if he knew the girls name,
the boy replied:
mo, I didn't bother. What do you
want her name for, anyway? She
wasn't hurt"
Later the girl was identified as
Betty Marie Evans.
