Miss Nash
And Quartet
Win Praise
String Four Upholds
Standard in Fine
Program.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

TRANCES NASH. who has often
- been heard as soloist with the
National Symphony Orchestra,
L yesterday was the assisting
artist on the program given by the
Washington String Quartet at the
Sulgrave Club. For this ensemble ap-
pearance the Cesar Franck Quintet
in F Minor" was chosen, which,
together with the Quartet in D Ma
jor" by Respighi, were the only num-
bers offered. The second Of the quar-
tets Holinists, Paul Brightenburg,
was Ill. and his place was taken by
Jeno Sevely. The original program
was too long, 50 the second number,
Turina's la Oracion del Torero," was
omitted.
The two compositions, however.
proved amply compensating for the
change and together they formed a
delightful hour Of music in quiet,
softly lighted surroundings. All the
players were in splendid form ard
the entire program was infused with
a special verve that made much Of
the many occasions for artistic effects.
The quartet's progress in tonal purity
was marked, even in the absence Of
one Of its most valuable members,
and the players attained fine inter-
lacing Of volume with smoothness
and finish.
If q spur to still greater artistic
effort were necessary, Miss Nash pro-
vided that extra inspiration and one

"EIGHT AT TILLUMCOT"
BASED ON FIXER PLOT
Hugh NJ. Smythe II Excellently
Cast as Uncle Jerry in Little
Theater Play.

"EIGHT at Tillumcot." wherein q
jolly old fellow spends Q blustery
Winters evening Strengthening out
the lives Of several other persons, was
presented last night by the Little
Theater Of Takoma Park, with Author
z. Francis McDevitt directing. The
suburban group offered . nicely exc
cuted production and succeeded in
minimizing the dramaturgic Short
comings Of the piece.
At Tillumcot Is Publisher Tillum, his
wife and male secretary and Traveller
Author Howard Needham, who wants
to get his forthcoming work printed.
To Tillumcot q bit later come q re-
porter and his big moment, who have
experienced transportation difficulties
IN the snow outside. Then Uncle
Jerry" arrives. convinces the secretary
that he shouldn't steal jewelry on the
side, reveals that Needham has never
authored book, gets the news-hawk
job Of "ghosting" for him; in short,
plays the "flxer" all around-a basicly
proven pattern, but people are con.
tinually passing on and of without
much Of anything happening, motiva-
tion is accorded too many minutes.
Hugh M. Smythe played Jerry in
superb fashion, catching the spirit OF
his role to the full-excellent casting.
The socially prominent Mrs Tillum,
less supercilious and caustic when the
globe-girdler recognizes her as the
daughter of a Utica laundress, was
accounted for capably by Edith Oriani,
with the henpecked and otherwise
troubled husband limned acceptably
by the dependable Will Carleton.
Jerry's fluttery wife furnished a we'll
handled opportunity for Agnes Carle-
ton, while other adequate portrayals
were those Of Ralph Edmonds as the
peregrinator, Paul F. Grove, jr., play
ing the bauble -fancier; Gainor Bentz
in the role Of the reporter and Char
lotte Knott as his heart-throb.

many times in graceful or accentuated

the other players.
Cesar Franck has left an imperish-
able and idealistic record of his hu-
manism in his symphony. quartet and
sonata and again in the quintet the
same unforgettable and sublime mel
odies are to be heard. The rich en-
broidery with which he has surround
ed them is given still more varied and
glowing hues in the arrangement for
five instruments. In the first move
ment the music swells into a veritable
paean Of fervor, rushing into more
and more glorious sound under the
irresistible force Of feeling and
again, in the second. takes on the
poetic cadence Of quiet, sun-stirred
waters. The same impetuosity Of feel
ing Of the first movement bursts forth
once more for the magnificent finale,
q fiery exurberance which the quintet
of players matched with their tonal
power.
In the same poetic vein. yet with .
touch of more sophistication, was the
quartet of Respighi. Of which .he
string players gave beautifully bal.
anced performance. In no other com.
poser's works can one so clearly sense
the combining Of human sentiment
with nature as in Respighi's. What
ever the theme 1t Is surrounded by an
atmosphere of moonlight, Of the soft
murmuring of trees or the stirring Of
the wind. He has caught these ex-
ternal sounds and woven them into
his music so that whatever else Is said
the frame of nature is ever present.
Thus in this quartet. whether he elab-
crates a theme, recreates a mood or
expands in jubilant harmony. there is
never absent the small voicings Of
nature.
The artists played to a deeply at
tentive audience, which listened with
understanding and appreciation and
warmly applauded at the end.

the presence in the cast of eight
youngsters. All were ineligible to per-
form here under the law which bans
actors under 18 years.
The happy combination Of proviso
in the law and the idea for an 3
O'Clock curtain finally offered Solu-
ton of an apparently insoluble prob
lem. Before it was discovered pens
were poised a dozen times for the
quick movement of the hand that
would have Cancelled the local en-
gagement.

ever, who simply would not have 1t so.
Among them were Frank r. JelleH,
Corporation Counsel Elwood Seal. As
sistant Corporation Counsel Willever,
Sidney Hechinger and Herbert L. Will
lett, director of the Community Chest.
It was the idea of this group, rep
tesenting different viewpoints though
they do, that Sidney Kingsley's play
should be must on the list of every
city with an underprivlleged child
problem. That. of course, includes
every city in the country even though
most of them will not have an oppor-
tunity to see Dead End"
The o'clock curtain will permit
the play to come into town without
running afoul of the law in that it
will clear the stage of its child actors
by 10 pm. The youngsters. all of
them 1e or over, will simply be given
permits which will authorize their
appearance until the 10 o'clock dead
line. The play, compact piece, will
be over by that time, setting new

to bed after an evening at the legiti-
mate theater.
