used on the Pied Piper program to-
morrow evening at o'clock over
radio station VOL. Young folks
who listen in are advised to have
the theme handy for reference
during the broadcast.
One can only hope that the day
might eventually come in Wash
ington when such an artist as
MiScha Elman will dare given a
concert consisting entirely of three
concertos with symphony orchestra
accompaniment such as he gave
recently in Minneapolis and New
York.
The physical demands of the
concerto exhausted the artist SO
much as to prevent his playing an
enCore"-iS the usual excuse given
when a violiniSt refuses to play an
encore in Constitution Hall. In
view of the fact that Elman has
played not one concerto but three
concertoS in succession on one pro
gram, one wonders whether it is
the Constitution Hall audience
that really becomes exhausted"
Myra Hess, the acknowledged
leader among women pianiStS,
who is soloist with the National
Symphony Orchestra Sunday aft
ernoon in Constitution Hall,
brings with her an honor belong
ing to no other woman in the
world.
Shortly before his death a
year ago, King George v of Eng
land bestowed upon his diStin-
guished countryWoman the dec
grafton of Commander Of the
British Empire in acknowledge
ment of her services to English
music. She is the only woman
to have received such an honor.
Miss Hess, who arrived in this
country only a few days ago, be-
gins her new concert tour Of this
country in washington. She will
be presented by DR.. Hans Kin
dler, conductor Of the orchestra,
in an all-Mozart program, and
will play the famous Mozart
Concerto in D Minor for Piano
and Orchestra"
/ This eminent artist has ap-
peared with the National Sym
phony Orchestra each season for
several years, and is by now
favorite in the Capital.
Born in Hampstead, London,
the childS exceptional talent was
quickly perceived by her parents
who permitted her to begin study
at the age of five. When Miss Hess
gave her first public recital in
London, it was such a marked sue
cess that she was engaged to play
at important orchestral concerts
in Royal Albert and Queens Halls
during the same year. Since then
her career has been a series of un-
interrupted triumphS in Europe,
while her complete capture of
America is now a matter of muSi-
cal history.

Given only an outside chance
to upset a strong San Diego high
school cage team, Brawley Wild
cats yesterday afternoon ran thru
a strenuous practice drill in prep
aration for their second rouno
CIF. playoff game
San Diego high, Brawley's Sec
ond round opponent, advanced to
the second round OF the playoff
when Point Iona of the Metropol-
itan league forfeited.
The Hilltoppers are defending
southern California champions and
are rated as heavy fayorites TO
again take playoff honors.
They finished in a three way tie
with Alhambra and Long Beach
in the coast league but beat both
clubs in playoffs for the loop title.
The only comparative scores
available are rather indirect but
indicate San Diego boasts much
stronger ball club. San Diego de-

Ell Centro j. c. walloped Brawley
