First Candlelight
Concert Given.
THIS seasons first candlelight CO.

THIS seasons first candlelight con-
cert of the Washington Chamber
Music Society yesterday afternoon at
the Phillips Memorial Gallery, given
by the Pro Musica Quartet, marked
debut of three new members of that
organization: Frederick Dwonch, vio-
lin, concert master of the National
Symphony Orchestra; William Bren-
nand, cello, and Ralph Hersh, viola,
also members of the orchestra.
This new group. together with Jeno
Sevely, violinist, who has been with
the organization since it came into
existence, presented two string quar-
tets and gave performance distin-
guished by ease and finish most
pleasing to hear
The Allegro di motto" of the quar-
tet in D Major. Op. 20, No. 4, by Haydn
first number on the program, disclosed
new vibrancy of tone and a new
stability of ensemble. Mr.. Dwonch
has the talent of making the compo-
sitions alive and interesting. His tone
is warm and his readings show good
taste and authority.
In the finale, Presto Scherzando,"
as in the two last movements Of the
Dvorak's IF Major Quartet" the sec
ond number on the program, at no time
did the ensemble lose sight of clarity
and proper accentuation in spite of
the speed. This agility was the more
surprising in the viola, as q cer-
tain amount of placidity is always
associated with the playing of that
instrument. Mr.. Hersh. who draws a
beautiful tone from his instrument.
infused it with not a little point and
character, lending thereby a new as
pect to Dvorak's ever popular compo-
Sition
Mr.. Brennand and Mr.. Sevely, whose
splendid musicianship and skill are
we'll known, contributed their share to
the ensemble, the former being heard
to a good advantage in the "Lento"
Of the Dvorak's Quartet, the closing
bars Of which gave him an opportunity
to display the fine quality and the
sorority of his tone The players were
warmly applauded by an audience
which filled the small hall to capacity.

Hollywood has retained only the

battle to begin stage career has
blossomed forth. And every change

Hollywood was showing almost spec

Ginger Rogers and Katharine Hep

dolph Frimls operetta, The Firefly."
jeanette Macdonald and Allan Jones
are cast in the two leading roles, their
music including Love Is Like a Fire

There's more music in the offing,

on Thanksgiving Day with an opening
OF "Alcatraz Island" a drama of
prison life centered around the famous

VARIETY CHAINS
MAINTAIN GAINS
Sales Continue to Climb,
but Rising Costs Cut
Into Profits.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, October 4.-Sales
trends Of leading variety chains, so
far this year, have pursued the upward
trend in evidence during 1886, ac-
cording to Poor's Industry and Invest
ment Surveys. Aggregate volume of IL
typical units totaled s580,2l9,0O0 for
the seven months ended with July.
This represented an increase of rs
per cent over volume reported for the
corresponding 1886 months.
During August. however, a let-up in
retail buying cut into the rate of gain.
and sales registered a slight drop.
This unfavorable trend persisted until
Labor day; but since then, sales have
turned up.
Rising labor and merchandise
costs have been exerting adverse pres
sure generally on profit margins" says
the analysis. Where a chain has
enjoyed better than average sales
gains, earning power has expanded
However. those units reporting but
moderate increases in volume have
suffered earningswise.
Thus, companies in a position to
capitalize fully upon the profitable
high sales period ahead continue in a
relatively advantageous position. Mean
while. the industry as a whole should.
over the long term. be able to improve
profit margins through the process of
wedding out slow moving merchandise
and replacing with popular goods that
enjoy higher mark-up.
while variety chain stores have
never been so seriously affected by
chain store taxes as have units in the
grocery field, the rapidity with which
such laws were passed during the last
few years was becoming alarming
That such measures have reached a
| peak is now indicated bv several fac
tors. Foremost among these is an ap-
parent lessened enthusiasm on the
part OF legislators. Of nearly 100 new
| chain tax bills presented to legislatures
so far this year. only five have Deen
| enacted into law Chain stores have
been waging intensive educational
campaigns awakening the consumers
to the fact that such taxes must auto
matically be reflected in higher prices
Quite naturally an aroused body of
consumers is the chains most potent
weapon"

SLOWER PACE SET
AT STEEL PLANTS
Institute Finds Operations
Down 8.3 Points at
66.1 Per Cent.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. October 4.vOperations
in the steel industry for the current
week declined 8.3 points to 6e.l per
cent Of capacity. compared with IA
per cent last week. the American Iron
d Steel Institute estimated today.
A month ago operations averaged
7l.6 per cent while year ago the

The 83 points drop represented a
decline of 1l.2 per cent. the sharpest
in some time, and carried operations
TO the lowest level since the week be-
ginning April 6. 1886
The recession was attributed in steel
circles in part to delay in the placing
of orders by the automobile industry
for 1888 models It was also pointed
out that normal Fall buying by the
railroads has been deferred, in many
instances, pending outcome OF the
wage negotiations. concluded this past
week end. Railroad buying also has
been awaiting action of the Interstate
