moon hung solemnly overhead in an.
aura of tiny clouds, but the rest Of the
sky was a deep blue canopy with only
q star here and there. Around the
barge. watercraft Of every kind rocked
gently and silently, and even the pass
ing airplanes respectfully held down
their motors so that nothing disturbed
the serenity and beauty Of the scene.
And so music lovers of the Nations
Capital enjoyed their first outdoor
concert by their own symphony once
again after lapse Of two years. It
was estimated that 1000 people gath
cred at the site below the Lincoln
Memorial. the seating capacity of the
Water Gate itself taxed to the limit,
and the overflow crowding the bridge
and the causeway and every available
point Of advantage. There were few
late coners and long before the hour
set for the beginning of the concerts
the seats were already filled.
A little ceremony Of presenting the
concert stage to the Department of
the Interior formed q short prologue.
Miss E. s. Woodward Of the Works
Progress Administration made the
presentation speech, which was replied
to by John Herrick Of the Interior De-
partment. Both departments have
worked with enthusiasm for the sue
cess Of the undertaking, overcoming
obstacles with zeal and giving to the
symphony patrons shell in which the
improvements over the former ones
were usually and aurally apparent.
The shell sets high on the barge,
which is moored a greater distance
from the shore. The shape and size
of the symphony's new stage is better
adapted for music, and other welcome
innovations are the lighting, the color
scheme and the amplifying system.
From where this reviewer was seated,
there was no inequality Of sound evil
dent and the balance Of the orchestral
voices was well distributed.
The startling statement Of the mas
ter Of ceremonies that he would now
introduce 1.-The great DR.. Fritz Kreis-
Ter" and his quick substitution OF Dr.
Kindlers name when he discovered
his error. gave the audience a good
laugh and brought a rousing welcome
to the popular conductor OF the Ma
tional Symphony when he appeared.
Full Of energy, he swung into Beet
hoven's overture to "Egmont" with
spirit and led the orchestra in one Of
its finest presentations Some new
faces are to be seen among the per-
sonnel, including the new concert
master, Marshall Moss. But the spirit
Of the orchestra is unchanged and its
work throughout the program was
clean-cut, polished and full of vitality.
Following the overture was the
lovely New World symphony by
Dvorak. Written in this country and
inspired by native melodies, it is q
symphony particularly dear to Ameri-
cans, and DR.. Kindler's Interpretation
Of it used every artistic device to ac-
centuate its haunting themes and its
rhythms The well-known largo and
the lively scherzo were well defined
