First Student
Concert Is
Held
Pupils Follow
Symphony With
Attention.

TN HE first Of the students con-
certs by the National SYM
phony Orchestra, DR.. Hans
L Kinder, conductor, took place
yesterday afternoon at Central High
School, the subject being From Shep-
herds Song to Symphony" By way
Of illustration, on the inside page of
the program, few bars of a simple
shepherds melody we're given, con-
trasted with a page from a modern
orchestra score.
A salvo of applause greeted Dr.
Kinder, who through the years has
endeared himself to his youthful fol-
lowers. An exemplary silence reigned
throughout the performance - even
during the execution of the "Allegretto
From the Seventh Symphony" q
movement built along solemn lines
and IL minutes in duration. DR..
Kinder stressed the length of this
movement and complimented his audi
ence on its good behavior. Judging
from the interested faces, the melodic
strains in which this part of the SYM
phony abounds were followed with rev.
erence and attention. However, the
most popular number on the program
proved to be the Mosquito Dance" by
Paul White, the young American COM
poser from Bangor, Me. This COM
position had to be repeated.
AS is his custom, DR.. Kinder gave
preliminary explanations before each
number, with a few words about the
era in which the music was written
and the characteristic traits of each
composer. Further, he called on sew
eral musicians individually to illustrate
their part in the orchestra. Among
those called upon were players of the
bassoon, the piccolo, the flute, the dou-
ble bass, the cello, viola and the violin.
The Carnival Overture" by Dvor-
ak, first number on the program, was
followed by Bach's Air for Strings"
and Gluck's Procession of the Blessed
Spirits" with its ever-appealing Mel
ode" played by the flute. In con-
nection with Haydn's "Rondo," DR..
Kinder bade the assembly to note and
to count the recurrence of the round, ,
the number of which was finally estab-
lished as being nine to the satisfac-
ton of everybody.
Before the last selection on the pro-

The characters of Miss Dayton's
play are persons with practically
enormous resources for merriment.
They have been properly developed
however. in an insufficient number of
cases. Leo G.. Carroll, as the King,
we'll rid of his throne if he can only
have his cows. Sears -Roebuck cata-
logue and his fascination for Ameri-
can slang. would make any monarch
satisfied to be deposed. Mady Chris
tians as the beautiful, imperious
Queen, who wants to go back to the
town palace because it was a mag
nificent stage for her magnificent
acting, matches the playing Of Car
roll virtually every step of the way.
Laura Hope Crews as former ballet
dancer who acquired wisdom and
realism with her greatly advanced
years and increased weight is cast in
one of the richest comedy parts in
months. She does a great deal with
it, as Miss Crews would. but there is
more to be extracted from it when
she gets back in the form which
seems to have been affected by long
years in Hollywood.
Jane Wyatt makes the princess OF
the deposed royal house one of the
most altogether charming persons you
ever have met. 1t is delight to re-
port that no reading Of speeches in
snatches before the cameras has
touched Miss Wyatts ability to re-
member them and give them intelli-
gently pointed expression.
Mr.. Emory's dictator, already listed
here as the most imposing looking
fellow in the three year plan business,
will emerge as something less con-
fused than his reading of the role
last night indicated His speeches,
not always of the demagogue type,
are more numerous than any dictator
before him ever had to memorize The
sheer weight of the part at times seems
the most discouraging phase of being
a dictator
A number of the smaller roles of
Save Me the Waltz" are capably
played, the most notable of them
Reginald Bach's Interpretation OF the
dictator's right-hand man whose
valiant efforts constantly are being
fouled (not merely foiled) by the
Queen.

but there still is all that homework
to be done. Before tonight, what?

Uninhibited by the menace of musketry

BERLIN, Sept. 22.-Reichsfuehre
Adolf Hitler is meeting Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain at Godesberg to-
day with q new four-point ultimatum
and with the statement that the Reich
will enforce its terms within the next
few days whether England and France
accept them or not, it is understood

/. Dismemberment OF Czechoslo-
vakia. This dismemberment will
consist, at the very least, Of the
seizure Of the German, Polish and
Hungarian minorities by their re-
spective mother countries. Hitler
may also demand the splitting of
OF the Ruthenian Slovaks and even
OF some Rumanians, which the

ROW HOUSE MOVE
HALTED BY BOARD
zoning Appeal Is Denied
in Arlington Following
Lengthy Dispute.

The spread Of row-house develop
ments in Arlington County, Va. again
was checked yesterday by action of
the County Board of Zoning Appeals
in denying applications for seven zones
for this type of dwelling.
The row-house issue has been prom
inent in county and civic discussions for
several months and has led to adoption
Of new ordinance and a proposed
amendment, as well as vigorous pro-
tests from civic associations. At yes
terday's Zoning Board meeting, held in
the courthouse. the row type of dwell
ing was variously described by pro-
ponents as an ideal dwelling, and
by opponents as q cancer that wifi
spread to other areas"
Civic Leaders Speak.
Among those voicing opposition to
\ the requests were j. Byron Brooks,
chairman Of the Arlington County
Civic Federation's Executive Commit
tee, and Julian D. Simpson, fedora
ton secretary. Attorneys representing
applicants for rezoning and who ar
gued the merits Of row houses included
Thomas w. Phillips and Frank L.
Ball.
Mr.. Ball, in arguing for the first-
row-house zone application, cited the
past history in which no provision for
this zone was made In the old county
ordinance. AS q result, he said, the
court, in four cases, recognized the
row house as habitable dwelling and
ruled that it could be constructed
under one Of the old ordinances classi-
hcations.
Mr.. Simpson argued that the courts
decision in these four cases was after
all, just one mans opinion and he
could be wrong" Mr.. Simpson scored
county officials for not appealing the
courts decision to obtain final au-
thority on the question.
Asks Delay in Action.
Mr.. Brooks made the comparison of
row house developments to "a cancer"
that would depreciate the attractive
ness of the county If allowed to get
a foothold there. He asked that the
Zoning Board defer action on the re-
quests until a special report from the
County Board and County Planning
Commission is made.
The applications denied yesterday
were made by Mabel Young Davis,
whose property is at North Twenty
first street and Old Dominion drive:
Frank Upman, Glebe road and
Lee Highway; William M Stone and
Ashton c. Jones, Hatfield area. about
500 feet from Lee boulevard; Harvey
Hatch, Glebe road and Four-Mile Run
area; Kenneth Livingstone, Colonial
Heights, Rosslyn; H. Herfurth, Jr.,
Inc, area in Arna Valley, on South
Glebe road; Richard N. and Roberta
Sutton, certain land in 1900 block
OF Wilson boulevard. Mr. Upman was
granted request to rezone another
tract at Lee highway and Glebe road
from residential A to local business.
Consideration Of an application by
Ora M. Omonhundro for rezoning of
property at North Washington boule-
ward and North Lincoln street was
postponed until the October meeting
of the board
Yesterdays action by the Zoning
Board will be sent as recommended
ton to the County Board, which meets
next Thursday and has final power to
act on the requests.
