CIVIC THEATER
LISTS PLAY

Marking the thirtieth ami.
versary of the establishment Of
the Petrified Forest National
Monument in Arizona, the Wash
ington Civic Theater today noti'
fled the Department Of the In.
terror that for the first time in
washington it will present next
week the Robert E. Sherwood play,
"The Petrified Forest" stage and
screen success.
The fallen tree trunks Of stone
in northeastern Arizona, according
to the Department Of Interior,
grew in a prehistoric forest 16O,'
100000 years ago.
Grouped in five areas within the
reservation, the petrified growths
are believed by some to have
grown in their present locations,
while another theory sets forth
that they drifted to new sites on
the surface Of ancient rivers.
The scenes Of the play center
about the locality of these ancient
woods which turned to stone dur
ing centuries of chemical action.
It will be presented at the Ward
man Park Theater.

so feet below. They appear to
be greatly interested in the per-
formance going on above, on the
castle roof, but their real interest
may be in the coins and other
knicknacks which are apt to fall
from the pockets of the believer,
suspended in midair.
Keepers of tradition differ as
to the powers conferred by the
Blarney Stone. In the south OF
Ireland, it is said that it gives
the kisser "a faculty Of deviating
from veracity with an unblushing
countenance whenever it may be
convenient" The gift Of blarney,
they say, is what it really gives
you, and the word has passed
into the English language as
synonymous Of the sweet, per.
suasive eloquence so perceptible in
the speech Of the people Of Cork.
But the true believer Indignantly
denies that version. "Suave
speech, intended to save time," is
how he defines it.
The origin Of the belief Is
traced back to the early years of
the Seventeenth century when one
of the MacCarthys, whose ances-
tor, Cormac, built the castle way
back in 1446, was defying the
enemy to take it. MacCarthy, so
it seems, had agreed to surrender
RIorneV h1lt he never named the
day. He kept on postponing it,
greeting every emissary with
grandiloquent speech, and send
ing him away each time with
new promises. So much so, in
fact that the Lord President, who
was to occupy the castle, became
the laughing stock of the court.

phony No. 2. in D Major" This
work, filled with tender sentiments
ranging from playful Joy to mo-
mentS Of sombernesS, was pre-
sented in tone and rhythm that
matched the various moods with
high fidelity.
Ormondy carried the orchestra
through these moods with con-
traSting dynamics and shading of
tone that placed it high above the
conventional reading. The artis-
tic virtuosity Of each section Of
the orchestra, the unity Of pur-
pose of the numerous members Of
the string sections, and the total
ensemble tone quality Is indeed a
miracle Of modern musicianship
that grows on one with each ad-
ditional hearing.
Ormondy Is fully aware Of the
greatness Of this notable instru-
ment upon which he has the honor
to play his interpretations Of the
master works Of music. He ap-
proaches this high responsibility
with a thoroughness Of prepare
ton and q humble attitude that
at once enlistS the fullest SYM
pathy Of his musicians as we'll as

ances evident at the beginning of

HARD TO REACH
The stone itself Is fixed high
in the battlementS of Blarney
Castle, reached by a long stair
way. When the seeker of the gift
of eloquence reaches the summit,
he must lie down flat on his back
and be lowered gently through a
hole in the wall. Two convent

to steady himself as he is lowered,
head down, until he can kiss the
stone.

The Washington times., 1936-12-09

BY CARL L. DENIES
The echoes of Constitution Hall
were awakened in q series Of pro-
longed demonstrations last night
when the Philadelphia Symphony
Orchestra, under the leadership Of
Eugene Ormondy, and Mischa FL
man, violin wizard, gave a notable
concert.
Elman was recalled time and
again to the platform at the con-
clusion of TschaikowSky's Con
certo in D Major" and Ormondy
was compelled to return to take
numerous bows together with the
orchestra at the end Of the con-
cert; the audience, evidently hope
full Of encores, persisted in the
demonstration Of homage to one
of the worlds greatest orcheStras.
Opening the concert with Wag-
ner's "a Faust Overture" the
Philadelphia Orchestra produced
masterpiece of dramatic moods set
ting forth with intense feeling the
despair, impatience, spiritual dis
turbances and the dissatiSfactions
of FauSt's spent youth. On hear
ing this work-Wagner's nearest
approach to a symphony-one
could wish sincerely that the COM
poser had devoted some Of his et-
forts to this form Of writing.
Leopold Auer, who taught so
many violinists to do the impos-
sible, and to whom the Tschaikow-
sky Concerto was dedicated, de-
clared the technical difficulties in
surmountable when first he saw
the work. He lived to see the day
when this Concerto had become
popular and even edited his own
arrangement Of 1t.
This Auer arrangement was used
by Mischa Elman last night. In
his attempt to make it more play
able, Auer missed some Of the
virility of the original. Elman
carried the solo part with a tone
of velvet SmoothneSS especially
noticeable in the flowing melody
of the first movement and the
Canzonetta movement.
The clean staccato double-stops,
the rapid legato scales in the first
movement were only excelled by
the wide range arpeggios, and diff
ficult passages in sixths of the
cadenza. This cadenza ended with
a remarkably smooth trill as the
orchestra entered softly.
The brilliance of the third move
ment was played in a vivacity of
spirit that pictured the wild un-
restrained gaiety of a Russian
peasant dance. and, at the end, a
climax of scintillating scales
dashed precipitously downward
with a speed that seemed to be
the utmost limit of which human
fingers are capable.

SLASH FACING
RFC ST AFF,
JONES SAYS

Heu0cC1on OF HeconSCrucIlon RI
nance Corporation personnel hung
over Washington today following
the warning issued yesterday by
Chairman Jesse Jones that taper
tng-off process will naturally" be
launched If legislation is not forth
coming to extend the corporations
lending powers beyond January 81,
1897.
The tapering-off of personnel,
Jones explained, would probably go
on over a 5-year period. This rep
resents the balance of existence al
1oted the corporation on it's Gre
alton in 1882 and would be devoted
to efforts to collect the 1000 mil
lion dollar in loans still outstand'
ing.
1880 Face Ak
To be affected in the event the
reduction gets under way, RFC rec
ords show, would be 1000 employees
IN Washington and another 1,50O
in the field.
At the same time, Chairman
Jones extended a measure Of re
assurance to RFC workers with
an expression of confidence that
necessary legislation would be en-.
acted to give loaning powers OF
the corporation an additional
lease on life.
Jones declared he doubted that
the country would allow RIGS
lending functions to lapse. EStab'
liShed. February 2, 1882, the cor.
poration was set up for a 10-year
period. For only five years, how
ever, is it allowed to engage in
landing activities, according to
its certificate of incorporation.
Sure of Profit
Jones bolstered his conviction
with the statement that he is
more sure than before" that the
RFC won't lose a single dollar in
its operations. He said:
"There is no doubt about our
coming out without a net loss.
We're proving it every day in
our collections"
From the time of its inception
in 1882 to November 80 last, Jones
said, authorizations and commit
mentS Of the corporation amounted
to $11, 1857 $685. ,397. OF this sum,
$500 million dollars was in loans,
1900 million for relief and $780,

governmental agencies.

some 1926 million dollars, or about
68 per cent of this, has been re-
paid.
Some of the 80 per cent balance
still outstanding may not be col.

individual losses will be "infinitesi.

SCHOOL ACQUIRES
OLD CLARK HOME

The w. A. Clark residence at Butte,

considered the finest home in the city
at that time, has been purchased by
the Catholic bishop of Helena, to be
made a residence hall for the faculty
nuns Of Butte's Girls Central high.
Part Of the building may also be
used for classrooms, it is stated, due
to overcrowdedness at the school.
The home Is of brick construction
and has % rooms.
