(1) "You state that stocks which will bene-
fit by initiation have not yet reached their
peaks. Will You please name the groups which,
in your opinion, they comprise"
Answer: Something depends upon the brand
Of initiation that is administered. In general,
however the outstanding benefciaries have
always been the producers of raw or semi
finished materials such as the metals "copper",
lead. zinc etc. and petroleum. Probably steel
and leather may he added.
The general idea is that initiation makes
prices of products rise. If expenses are not af-
fected much, the net earnings rise, and there

WRITING, TOPIC
OF LEWIS0HN

When contemporary novelists
realize that all myth is literature
and that all literature is myth,
their works will take the form OF
real artistic literature, Ludwig
Lewisohn, famed novelist himself,
last night told a capacity audience
at the Jewish Community Center.
In his lecture, sponsored by the
Jewish National Forum, Lewisohn
roved through masterpieces Of
world literature and then decided
that the great novel of the Western
language must bring forth a le-
gend and that it should be written,
preferably, by an American.
Thomas Mann, author Of the
Magic Mountain" was hailed by
Lewisohn as the greatest contem-
porary novelist. Sinclair Lewis, &C
cording to LewiSohn, since his
Main Street." has become reitera-
tive in theme and formula. The
lecturer concluded that the modern
novel, as a whole, lacked creative
spark,

RICCI DELIGHTS

One Of the major satisfactions

Hall by Ruggiero Ricci Of Cali.
fornia.
The concert opened the Beeth-
oven Festival of the National Sym
phony, and it is gratifying to oh.
serve that the most difficult, as
well as the most grateful number
on the program, was entrusted to
a native artist whose gifts and at
tatnments were more than equal
to the assignment. Ricci was q
prodigy 10 years ago when Louis
PerSinger introduced him. He is
a mature artist today.
DECLINES ENCORE
The famous difficulties Of this
great work were only so many
opportunities to him, not for tech
nical display which was purely
incidental, but for a poised and
authoritative musical address that
rested its argument on tone of
rare beauty and style Of unblem-
1shed purity. The audience gave
him an ovation; but with a real
feeling for the seriousness Of the
occasion he declined to add an
encore after the concerto.
Anta1 Dorati appeared as guest
conductor and 1t is greatly to his
credit that the accompaniment
given Ricci was a model of style
and sympathy. Unhappily as
much cannot be said of his inter.
pretat1ons Of the eighth and sixth
symphonies. Tempos that were
too quick destroyed the "Gemueth-
nchke1t" of the cheerful eighth,
which suffered further from some
moments Of badly adjusted or
chestral balance.
@~O 1@oVO404 WhS even less
successful, being too lyric, If that
reproach seems credible. The fact
was that Mr.. Dorati constantly
stressed the melody Of the first
violinS and repressed the deeper
strings SO that the richness of
orchestral texture was seriously
affected. On the other hand one
must credit the visitor with a
careful effort to realize the tradi-
tlonal dynamics Of Beethoven.
ELSIE CRAFT SINGS
Elsie Craft. charming and dis
eliminating interpreter of songs,
offered a delightful program, last
night, In the Roosevelt Hotel. Her
voice is a light, lyric soprano, but
she stays well within its limita-
tions, displaying it's color-varia-
tioEs effectively, and able to de-
fine the style Of an italian aria,
a French chanSon, a German Lied
or an American song with that
measure Of understanding that
only an intimate knowledge of
the languages can accomplish.
Ethel Blackwell, pianist, shared
the program. She, too, has a nice
sense Of style and a pleasant
habit of accuracy.
CHAYELE GROBER PLEASES
Songs of Palestine and Arabia,
and brief readings describing the
life of the Palestine Jew made
up the program offered in the
Washington Hotel last night by
Chayele Grober. Appearing under
auspices Of local Zionist organi-
cations, she sang songs in Yiddish
and Arabic and danced some Of
the traditional dances to the COM
plete satisfaction Of a large audi
ence. A. PresSman played her ac-
compartments and added num-

Finally they came filing out in
