City Planning Expert
Declares Human Needs

Durh0m. Feb. 5.-City planning in

who commended that straight streets
would make invasion across the city

Paris of the seventeenth cnetury

lecturer pointed out, because the rul-

"A sian pianist, appearing at the
6horeham Hotel in benefit recital
on Wednesday, February S, is now an
American citizen and head OF the
piano department of Peabody Con-
seryatory in Baltimore. He had many
unusual experiences between the day
when he caught the last train out OF
Siberia and the present time. He
toured the Far East, with $50 en-
gagements in China, Japan. mdo-
China, the Philippines, Siam and
many other Far Eastern places.
Finally he arrived in America.
Once here, he had to forswear al
legiance to the King of Rumania-
though he was a native of South Rus
sia-because the city of his birth now
belonged to Rumanias before he could
become an American. It was in 1928
that he accepted an invitation to join
the staff at Peabody.
Sklarevski is pupil of Busoni. In
his program next Wednesday he Will
play all "a Of Chopin's preludes.
Mr.. Sklarevski appears at this time
under auspices of the Institute d Arts
and Sciences of the Cleveland Park
Conversational Church, of which the
Rev. Joseph Loughran is pastor. Pro-
ceeds from the concert will go to
church charities. Reservations can be

Roth Quartet Concert
Shows New Composer
Kosa's "Quartet No. g." Is Wintry Work of
Unvarying Character-Martinu and
Haydn Played.

Of attack would add still more to the
polish of the performance, which yes
/ terday was otherwise a thoroughly
enjoyable one.
Two soloists were presented on yes
terday's program, Arthur Van Haelst,
baritone, being heard in two groups of
songs, and Isabel De Perez Dupuy,
soprano, in the Air de Lila" from
Debussy's IL 'Enfant Prologue" Trim
delli's Il Ire Petali" and De Falla S
"Sequidilla.
Mr.. Van Haelst's voice is of clear
color and wide range. and he has ex-
cellent breath control, which per-
mitted him fully to express the long
and beautiful phrases of Lully's "Bois
Epais" and Schubert's "Nacht und
Traume." His diction is also splendid,
even the final consonants being heard
in the back of the hall. In the sing
ing of Nine. Dupuy, the ringing quail
ity of her high tones was the out
standing point of her vocal equip
ment. Much more could be done with
voice of her caliber, if used with
less emotion. which destroyed the
solidity of her vocal placement at
times. For the club members, Nine
Dupuy sang Faure's "Apres I'm Reve'
as encore. Jesse Stimson was at the
piano for Nine. Dupuy.
The chorus was directed by Claude
Rodeson and accompanied by Adele
Robinson Bush. A large audience at
tended, and was generously appre-
ciative of one of the best programs
given by the club.

Quartet at the Library of Con-
gress, which took place yester-
4 day afternoon, introduced a
new composer and his work. the
Quartet No. g." by Gyorgy Rosa.
The two remaining numbers played
were Martinu's Quartet No. 3" and
Haydn's Quartet in c. Op. 33, No. g."
Another work by Martinu was played
some time ago in the same audi
torium.
There was little brightness in yes
terday's program. even Haydn's Quar-
tet" fitting into the modern idiom of
the other composers with astonishing
sameness of character But, in spite
of this, the smoothness of construc-
tion and the beauty of line, as well
as its content substance. remained
as superior as ever against the newer
speech of the moderns.
Gyorgy Rosa has written wintry
work in this third quartet. in which
he showed no inclination at any mo-
ment to tighten the dreariness of his
initial idea It is q barren work re-
sembling leaf-stripped trees, which
stand stark against bleak sky. In
the naming of the first two move
ments, sostenuto>, and largo lugbre,
he sets the atmosphere and retains
it, even when attempting a slight
amelioration toward the end. Mr..
Rosa has given an important part to
the cello in the way of reiterating
the theme, which sometimes trespasses
upon the well-known melodies of Puc-
cini's Madam Butterfly"
In contrast, Bohuslav Martini has
written a work of imaginative color
and distinct originality. While he
never attains much expansion in his
development, the continuity of thought
is plainly evident, and in his fashion
we'll adhered to. OF the three move
ments, allegro, andante and vivo. the
andante Is by far the most noteworthy.
The members of the quartet, Feri
Roth and Jeno Antal, violinists;
Ferenc Molnar, violist, and Janos
Scholz, 'cellist, gave careful readings
of the difficult scores of the modern
composers and beautifully expressive
Interpretation of Haydn's Quartet"
in which their superf1ne musicianship
was a Joy to become acquainted with.
The next concert will be held to-
morrow evening. when the program
will consist of Prokovievs quartet in
B Minor, Op. 50"; Porter's Quartet
No. 4" and Haydn's quartet in G
Minor, Op. "A, No. 81

BURTON HOLMES SHOWS
SOUTH AMERICAN COAST
Rio de Janeiro and Iguassu Falls
Contribute Scenic Beauty
Spots

REAUTY became the keynote Of
~ Burton Holmes travelogue on the
east coast Of South America. yester-
day afternoon at the National Theater
with the ever-glorious Rio de Janeiro
and the magnificent 1gnassu Falls pro-
viding two of the most picturesque
backgrounds of the lecture.
Brave behind her hill-lccked harbor,
Rio donned her gayest aspects for the
globe-trotter. giving hin one of the
most beautiful themes that he has ever
presented to a Washington audience.
This South American metropolis, re-
plete with miles of waterside parkway
and four lane roads, and overshadowed
by the Sugar Loaf and the Cristo of
the Corcovado "a gigantic figure Of
Christ on top of mountain overlook
ing the harbor), is perhaps the most
magnificent in all the Western Eemi-
sphere.
Special credit must be given Mr..
Holmes for his striking night pictures
of Rio, taken from its guardian hills.
From the heights, the city resembles
enormous strings of diamonds, resting
on velvet. The first view Of Rio from
the water is also worthy of note, for
here again Mr.. Holmes searched for
beauty and found it in his sunset views
of the Sugar Loaf.
Iguassu Falls, the highest on our
continent, were presented with the
same care and f1nesse that charac-
terizes all of the world travellers lee
lures.
Not once throughout the entertain
ment did he deviate from the modern
South America to the one of antiquity.
although in his prior travelogues Of
the season ancient cities and temples
were featured.
Starting with several shots of the
towering, snow-capped Andes, Mr..
Holmes first conveyed his audience
to Buenos Aires, where modernity
reigns. Skyscrapers, automobiles and
ultra modern hotels were exploited,
as we'll as the stock yards, which
greatly reminded one of those in Chi
cago.
From here he made his way to Rio,
touching Uruguay and Paraguay.
After seeing the Graf Zepplin arrive
from Germany, Mr.. Holmes headed
homeward, stopping here and there to
present unusual views of this or that
country.
If only for the pictures of Rio de
Janerio, the travelogue was one well
worth seeing, offering, as it did, some
magnificent vistas. F. L. G.

Reviewers who took preview
glimpse at Exclusive Story" yesterday
were informed that its author knows

that he was threatened with jail
sentence recently in New York for
refusing to share his wisdom with a

he had made a scholarly study of all
the melodramatic stunts in film his
tory beginning with THE Perils OF
Pauline" and continuing right down
through last weeks Oman opus. Ap-
parently seeing some entertaining vir-
tues in each particular form of vio-
lence, he decided to include as many
as possible in one script. 1t makes
for very few dull moments in the fin
ished product. These come principally
when the story attempts to demon
strate that Mr. Tone is playboy with
q heart of gold. or that Mr.. Stuart
Erwin, who plays the role of hot
shot reporter, is actually honey
fellow with a wife and two kiddies and
a weakness for playing soldier with
the boys.

to be full-length review OF Exclusive

ance on the Loew's Fox screen this

without mentioning that one Joe
Calleia IS really the fellow you want
to watch in this picture, no matter
what else may be happening when he
is around. Mr.. Calleia makes all the
screens other vipers seem like pet
garden snakes. There is some grim
dialogue scattered here and there
through this story, but it seemed to us
more truth than bad writing yesterday
when Mr.. Tone told Joe Calleia that
II was a wonder he didn't "bite himself
and die in convulsions." And wait
until you hear Joe threaten Madge
Evans during a confession scene. He
sounds precisely like rattlesnake that
has learned the language.
