BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

A FTER a lapse of 10 days the

~ series of chamber music
n programs yesterday afternoon
at the Library of Congress. Again
a Beethoven quartet opened the con-
cert, followed by the "Adagio and
Fugue in c Minor. K. v. 546," by
Mozart, and concluding with quartet
written in 1885 by Darius Milhaud
With this final number. the policy OF
the concerts under the Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge Foundation of en-
couraging modern writers to compose
in chamber music form was again in
operation.
And once more the choice of pro-
gram proved a delight to the patrons
Of these inspiring concerts. The
Coolidge Quartet, William Kroll and
Nicolai Berezowsky, violins; Nicolas
Moldavan, viola, and Victor Gottlieb
cellist, are splendid interpreters and
finely adjusted musicians Not only
does the tonal quality of the four
players blend we'll. but their ideas are
completely worked out on the same
line No matter which instrument
develops the theme further, it is
perfectly in the same vein of thought,
directed by the individuality of the

main roles and it is coming to Keith's

Yet here are the two of them with

gesture, however, this venture of
R-K-O's already is a success. Especial

voice and manner are two of heavens

Can it be that Hollywood is abating

THIS is no place to review The Last

up in Saturdays paper despite the fact
that Loews local staff screened the
picture for critics yesterday.
Perhaps, however, it will not dis
close any secret of state to say that
the suave sophistication of the original
stage play has been preserved intact
The dialogue of Frederic Lonsdale's
play has been brought up to date, but
the essential idea is quite the same as
when Ina Claire and A. E. Matthews
made it one of their best stage pres
entations.
M-G-M, of course, may have count
ed upon the names of Miss Crawford,
Robert Montgomery and William
Powell to carry the thing for all its
subtle pleasantness. 1t is nicer, how
ever, to believe that the company re-
CARDS the play as the thing, in part,
at least.
THE attitude currently exciting the
admiration of press representa-
tives of coming shows for local drama
reporters is two-edged affair. The
one edge Is that made of the ready
acquiescence of so many of the latter
to act as jurors at the Belasco next
Sunday night when "The Night Of

Embargo On
Arms Pushed
By Congress

Washington Jan. 6-(AP)-Con-
gress rushed action today on Span
ish arms embargo, but turned aside
first to hear an optimistic report by
President Roosevelt on the state of
the union.
Differences over spending, none
tary and other policies were forgotten
in general desire TO speed the ban
after the State Department reluctant
ly issued permits to export $2,784,O0O
in munitions and airplanes to bleeding
Spain.
Since the neutrality task will carry
into the weekend, the Democratic
majority gave enthusiasm the ascen-
dency for a final celebration of the
November landslide.
The coun ing of the electoral vote
before the Senate and House in joint
session provided the opportunity.
From the way Democrats and Re-
publicans jollied each on returning to
work it was hard to believe the cleo
ton had aroused any feelings
All space in the House chamber had
been spoken for in advance amid sus-
pense over the projected embargo and
uncertainty about what the President
would say.
