there seems little likelihood Of their
performance"
Again, consider the character Of
the talent of Bauer. Of the deeply
studious Hofmann, of the original
Iturbi, or the brilliant Serkin and
Horowitz, and that of great women
of the piano. Myra Hess, the vital
Novaes or the interesting Ethel
Bartlett. whose programs with her
husband. Rae Robertson, are q de-
light to hear.
Among the violinists. who would
change entirely the loveliness OF
Kreisler's or Elman's playing for the
astounding virtuosity Of Heifetz or
Szigeti, or vice versa? Incidentally,
Totenberg. who made such fine i'm
preston in two former appearances
here, will return, and a young French
violinist, Ginette Nevin, will be intro
duced to Washington for the first
time by Mrs. Townsend.
THAT supreme artist of the guitar,
Segovia, will play here for the
third consecutive season under the
management of Concerts Intimes, and
music lovers will make the acquaint-
ance of the celebrated cellist, Cascade,
who is known here only as composer.
Mr.. Cascade, together with another
noted cellist, Felix Salmond, will ap-
pear on Mrs. Townsend's Monday
morning musicales at the Mayflower.
A particularly interesting announce
ment is the return Of Piatigorsky.
whose cello performance is unfor-
getable, as soloist with the Phila-
delphia Orchestra in February.
Among the singers, several new
comers will demonstrate their indi-
vidual gift in comparison with the
favoriteS who are welcomed each
season. Enid Szantho, contralto, who
sang here privately last year, will
be on the Mayfiower course, as will
also the great Melchior of the Metro
politan and Wettergren, whose Car
men" was one of the outstanding
features of the Metropolitan. The
glorious Flagstad comes this Winter
in full-length recital. an experience to
look forward to. Winifred Cecil, who
proved herself an artist Of the first
caliber, as soloist with the National
Symphony last Summer; Emma Otero,
the lovely coloratura: Rethberg, Pima
and Schipa are other singers to be
greeted after long absence.
Naturally, it is interesting to hear
all the artists of the splendid lists
offered by Dorothy Dorsey, Mrs.
Townsend, the National Symphony or
the T. Arthur Smith Bureau, for they
are known from coast to coast and
across the seas as the greatest ex-
ponents of music of the time. Yet
each, in following the same art, has
something different to make known.
that in the many years of study and
concert experience he has discovered
for himself. The public at large and
students, in particular, can enrich
their inner lives II they can grasp and
assimulate the many facets of the
jewel Of music which these artists will
bring to them.

WHEN Kurt Jooss brings his Eu-
Nv ropean ballet to the National

the nrst dance program by an inter.
nationally famous ballet group will be
given this season.

Therefore, at this first evening per.

1t has been decided to repeat the prize
winning anti-war ballet, THE Green
Table"
The new ballet for this program Is
to be Johann Strauss, Tonight"
which Is comic in general design and
has, as musical inspiration, the melo-
dies Of the great viennese waltz king.
The program also is to include
"Ballade," a slightly acid satire on
intrigue in French court life of the
early days, which is beautifully cos

City" q modern sophisticated version

as background for the choreographic
pattern.
Kurt Jooss, whose name is Danish
and Is correctly pronounced as
"Yooss." with the long 90" created a
sensation with the unique ballet, THE
Green Table" in which he broke COM
pletely from. the old traditions and
displayed original genius that won for
him the much-coveted Prix de Paris
at Q dance congress there in 1892. The
unusual conflicting scenes of diplo-
mats and war, with the dramatic
build-up to climax, has taken this
ballet beyond the mere dance enter
tainment field into the fringe Of highly
dramatic art.
