manner difficult to equal, besides a.
new composition featuring the two
piano artists, Jeanne Behrend and
Alexander Kelberine, and music from
the third act of Wagner's "Parsifal"
After superb rendition Of Bach's
greater "Fugue in G Minor" in which
the sorority of the orchestra was fully
akin to that of An organ of magnifi-
cent power. the conductor had pro-
grammed the Symphony No l in c
Minor" by Brahms. Expert creator OF
moods as he is, Mr.. Stokowski. by
placing these two works one after the
other gave his audience much the
effect Of climbing a mountain where
marvellous views could be had from
every side until one reached the sum-
init and came upon the glorious pano-
rama Of nature spread around.
For in this symphony Brahms has
progressed from movement to move
ment with a sureness Of concept that
still grips the listener after the end
has been attained And the end Is a
magnificent climax of feeling, an out
burst of spiritual exaltation so great
as to leave one In wonder at the genius
who conceived 1t in musical terms.
The entire drama of the work was
superbly enacted by the orchestra
under the guidance of the conductors
master mind, with the ebb and flow of
emotion never ceasing, rising to small
heights and dropping again to add yet
another bit of architectural beauty to
the structure. 1t was magnificent
playing, rife with vitality and glowing
with fire that thrilled the listener.
In a modern mode and feeling was
the new concerto for two pianos, writ
ten last Summer by Harl Mcdonald,
which was given it's premiere yester-
day. Mr.. Mcdonald has written with
great originality and with an author
itative command Of the orchestra's re-
sources, into which he has woven the
pianos, sometimes as completing the
theme, again as solo instruments and,
in the finale, blending smoothly into
the orchestral whole. The basis Of
this last movement is the "Juarezca,"
a Northern Mexico dance Of pro-
nounced rhythm, in which novel use
Of instruments adds brilliant effect.
Throughout Mr.. Mcdonald has
maintained sweeping style keyed
to tempo that only occasionally re-
LAKES for melodic passage 1t is
pulsing music, demanding vigor and
breadth from orchestra and soloists.
The two young soloists, Miss Behrend
and Mr.. Kelberine, were ideal inter-
prefers, splendidly equipped techni-
cally and temperamentally attuned to
the swift pace and scintillating now Of
ths music. Their duo playing is
smooth and marked by a real union
Of spirit. The artists were given an
ovation and for one recall brought out

China's Envoy Here
Praises Artistry of
Film on Homeland

In the fllm "The Good Earth"
are exhibited certain OF the fun
damental characteristics Of age
old China. Chief among these
characteristics Is the deep love
which the Chinese have for the
lands which, for 40 centuries,
they have 50 patiently and Ia
boriously cultivated. It will be
recognized by the discerning that
the film gives q picture OF the
period, rs years ago, when, politi-
cally, China was passing through
the revolutionary change from
monarchy to democracy, and,
therefore, they will appreciate
that certain Of the scenes portray
happenings which are not charac-
teristic Of the present day. Re-
cent years have witnessed pro-
found changes in China-social
and economic as well as political.
The film GOOD Earth" impresses
me as fine piece Of artistic work,

markable acting OF Miss Luise

Rests After
80 Years

Ninety-nine years is long time
even for an elephant.
Babe, the Washington Zoos
centenarian candidate, today bore
out the truth of the above state
ment as she lay prone on the
floor of her abode for the first
time in nine years.
Babe, known to thousands who
have never been near the local
ZOO, but who have watched her
lead Barnum and Bailey's ele-
plant parade through Main
Streets from Hardwick, Mass. to
Rock Springs, Wyo., has spent
the past decade on her pilar-like
legs because she feared her wan
ing strength would not be able
to raise her If she slept as others
do.
She fell while backing from her
cage yesterday and it took a block
and tackle to remove her from
the doorway in which she became
wedged as Babe weighs four and
one-quarter tons.
William H. Blackburne, head
keeper, said Babe had been under
treatment for overweight and an
ingrown toenail, brought on by
her excessive poundage. She may
never rise again, he said.

Ignores Threats Against Life
The speed of automobiles and safe driving is
agitating Salt Lake City generally.
A tall, blonde girl, Riva Beck Bosone, new
Judge of the City Court, is the center of the
citys Safety First Driving Campaign. Judge
Bosone doesn't believe in fast driving. Certainly
not within the city limits Nor does she ap-
prove of dashing past stop" signs.
She is making her opinions felt by imposing
on certain carefree citizens bigger fines than
Utah and most other States have had the cour.
age to demand before.
Her average fast driving fine is between $25
and SIS. Repeating offenders she charges more.
often she permanently suspends driving licenses,
Some of the rash motorists she has punished
are threatening her life in anonymous letters.
But Judge Bosone goes cheerfully on. She has
no intention of backing down. She means to
cut the accident rate in Salt Lake City. And
she has, amazingly, and to the Joy of most Of
its people

D. C. BILLS Get
RIGHT OF WAY

District legislation is scheduled
to have the right of way when the
House of Representatives meets to-
day.
Three bills will come up for con-
sideration if the usual revolt
against the city does not material
ize and the city's time is not lost
in discussion of national matters.
The adoption bill, which re-
Gently passed the Senate and is de-
signed to tighten the law in the
District concerning the legal pro-
cedure in adopting cases is the
most controversial on the list.
Three amendments to the present
law governing the sale and distri-
button of alcoholic beverages are
on the program.
These would permit drinking
while patrons are seated on stools
or benches before counters in res
taurants; stop the loophole which
permits the importation of large
quantities Of tax-free liquor, and
would allow licensees whose per-
mits have been suspended or re-
voked by the A. B. C. board to APP
peal to the courts instead of to
the District Commissioners.
The remaining bill concerns the
setting up of board to regulate
barber shops.
Meantime the District tax bill is
at the White House awaiting the
Presidents signature.
