Pro MuSiCa
String Four
In Concert
Second Presented at
Phillips Memorial
Gallery.
TINE second candlelight concert
of the Washington Chamber
Music Society at the Phillips

THE second candlelight concert
of the Washington Chamber
Music Society at the Phillips
u Memorial Gallery brought to-
gether once more the group of warm
admirers of the Pro Musica String
Quartet, the members of which are:
Bernhard Robbins and Jeno Sevely,
violins; Hendrick Essers, viola, and
Sidney Hamer, violincello.
The program yesterday was made up
Of two classic and one modern COM
position, the latter being Weiner's
'Quartet in E Flat, Op. f." Mr.. We1ner
Is successful in suggesting a definite
idea and clothing this with peculiar
coloring of tone through harmony,
aptly suggestive of the mood. The
best work done by the group yesterday
afternoon was in Andante expressive
OF the Quartet" composed a quarter
Of q century ago and not too modern
in idiom to be followed with interest.
Each of the four instr1lmentalists in
turn had an opportunity for display
OF a cantabile tone and individualism.
The players availed themselves of this
opportunity to good advantage.
Mozart's limpid Quartet in D" for
flute, violin, viola and cello, with the
assistance of Harold Bennett, 1utist,
acquainted one with work rarely
performed. The clear tone Of the flute,
while not very flexible for the require
ments Of Mozart's style, blended well
with the other instruments.
The effect Of the performance yes
terday was, on the whole, less satisfy
ing than that of the first concert this
season. It seemed to lack sufficient
preparation. True it Is. the players
evidenced fire and abandon as here
tofore, too recklessly, perhaps, this
time, and too roughly to be always
watchful of the esthetic side OF the
music and Of the nuance.
The artists deserve great deal OF
credit, however, for introducing
variety of chamber music works ana
found their reward in the generous ap-
plause of the audience. The concert
opened with Haydn's Quartet in F
Minor, Op. 20, No. S." and gave one
more evidence Of good ensemble.

SAV0YARDS DELIGHT
IN 1.-THE GONDOLIERS'
Another Polished Performance
Played by D'oyly Carte
Company.

THE savoyards continue to delight
audiences and at the same time
amaze them bit with the verve and
life and brightness with which they
adorn the famed Gilbert and Sulli-
van operas. Every time the members
of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Co. step
upon the stage the turn in a per-
formance so fresh and enthusiastic
it's hard to believe they have played
the same piece many times before in
exactly the same way down to the last
word and gesture.
Last night at the National they
again occupied themselves with The
Gondoliers," that sprightly tale of a
pair Of lads who almost became a
king and a bigamist until the right
king was discovered. THE Condo.
liers" may not be the best known of
the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, but
it certainly is one of the pleasantest.
Its libretto is rich with good hu-
mor-good humor that is broad and
patent nonsense and good humor that
is keen satire. The wit Of "The
S1OAlNO1lClos 1lhC tllC "AL VI OIlICI SA-
bert and Sullivan works in the Savoy
ard repertoire, is comedy that is as
timely today as it ever was, because
Gilbert wrote timeless humor. for any
day and not just for his own. The
music of Sullivan, too, is timeless and
timely. It's lifting and pleasant and
in just the proper gay mood to make
1.-THE Gondoliers" the bright frolic
1t is.
The Savoyards perform it, Of course,
tn esame way they perform every
thing else they do-just about as
near perfectly as Gilbert and Sulli-
van can be performed. The individual
hits of 1.-The Gondoliers" seem to be
Sydney Granville, the pompous grand
inquisitor, and Martyr Green, who
has as gay time playing his roles
as the audience does watching him.
Brenda Bennett, Sylvia Cecil, Mar
jorie Eyre, Evelyn Gardiner. John
Dean, Derek Oldham and Leslie Rands
are others who contribute much that
is all to the good. H. M.

The strangers spoke repeatedly
to him. Some of them, he noted,
held weapons; rather well made
weapons Of natural sticks and
stones. They wore scant clothing,
mostly loin cloths and crude
sort of sandals. They were mus
cular men, and they were grace
full, but they were not menacing.
They tried time and again to
communicate with Bob and Me-
lisa, one man especially doing the
talking. Bob talked back, in all
the dialects he knew, but in vain.
Then he motioned for water
and got it.
Some man had brought skin
container, from which LISA then
Bob drank and asked no ques-

swallow at a time, with long waits
between, lest she suffer spaSms of
sickness and pain. Somewhere he
had fortunately heard this warn
ing, probably from old Hades.
They got food, too, a dried
meat. 1t was hard, and unsalted,
but it was as ambrosia. Bob then
thought to divide the last small
piece of chocolate candy with
LISA, but suddenly thrust it at
the man who appeared to be

tasted it, ate it then with childish
glee. All the brown men had been
