RACHM ANIN0FF.
Third SYMPHONY.
is HAILED HERE.
New Work on Program
Of PhiIa. Orchestra
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

Rachmaninoff's T hird SYM
phony, finished last August at his
home in Switzerland, had its
first Washington performance last
night in Constitution Hall at the
opening concert of the Philadel-
phia Orchestra's series.
The audience gave the new work
an excited welcome, though much
of the applause seemed to be in
spired by a natural desire to bring
the composer to the stage. He was
present, of course, having accepted
the assignment as soloist in the
first performance here of his first
piano concerto, heard later on the
program.
Rachmaninoff did not acknoWl-
edge the tributes of the public
eliciated by the new symphony
This hardly could have been occa-
stoned by any dissatisfaction on
his part with the quality OF the
performance, which, under Or
mandy's newly resumed baton, was
remarkable for its clarity, beauty
and sympathy.
NOT EASY TO READ
The new symphony, however, is
not an easy page to read at first
contact. Like all Rachmaninoft's
later compositions it develops an
involved idiom. The frank, urgent
song of the second symphony is
not heard in this work. There
are acoustic complications sur
rounding an intricate interweav-
ing of melodies that BATTLE and be-
muse the listener.
However, the new work is con-
else, compact, concentrated, beau
tifully logical; and to these tech
nical virtues it adds a flaming
imagination for rhythmical i'm
pulse for orchestral color, for
climax and anticlimax, so that
the whole expression beats upon
the senses with a thousand de-
mands for attention and response.
CEASED TO WEEP
It will be liked at once. In time
It may be loved as is the sad,
wistful, and finally rebellious sec
ond symphony. Surely it will be
respected more for its virtues Of
technic and design. That it will
tug at the heart strings with that
same curious blend of tenderness
and despair does not seem prob
able. Rachmaninoff has ceased
to weep for the Russia that
banished him.
The concerto is the product of
youthful genius retouched by the
hand of age and experience.
Rachmaninoff wrote it at 18, re-
wrote it at A and now revives it
again at IS to make of it superb
pianistic display. He has every
right to look upon it with affec-
tion for it has many beauties. Nor
does he intend to impute to it
the possession of such startling
powers of feeling or of invention
as have been realized in the Sec
ond and third piano concertos or
even in the "Paganini" rhapsody.

the post-debs. Nevertheless the
debut, as such, fingers on add
ing much-needed color to the
social scene.
Huston is not a mere social
butterfly who fits from party to
party but is seriously at work at
a domestic science course at
Kink Smith-and liking it no

cluster of white orchids pinned
to the decolletage will be her
only ornament. Mrs. Miller has
chosen a gown of clear purple
crepe with an accordian pleated
skirt. With this she will wear
corSage of purple orchids.
Assisting this afternoon are a
group of debS who are all max
ing their curtsies in the very
near future. They are Betty
Meyer, Nancy HoskinSon, Betty
Fischer, Kitty Bradley, who will
bow to Baltimore society; Doris
Becker, of Warrenton, and Elise

MEMPHIS PARTY
Just as her mother before her
did, Miss Huston will make her
bow to Memphis society with
the Debutante Club at the Mem
phis Country Club. Miss Miller
leaves on November 10 for Mem
phis, where she will be the guest
of her cousin, Mrs. Chapman
Dewey, of that city.
Returning to the party to-
day-russet baby chrysanthe-
NUNS and orange-yellow roses
will adorn the tea table. Mrs.
Miller has asked a group of her
friends-all formerly of At
lanta, where the Nillers lived
for some time-to pour tea.
They include Mrs. C. H. Becker,
Doris's mother; Mrs. Allen
Krebes, Miss Dana Belser, Mrs.
Richard Dunn, Mrs. John Nc

Driver Raymond Heintz jounced
over Pittsburgh's hilly streets for
II years was in new hands today.
And for Heintz, the goal to
which he consecrated himself IT
years ago, was in sight. Within
few weeks, he will be ordained
into the priesthood.
The smiling cabby was honored
yesterday by the mayor and other

ever staged in the city. It was
arranged by Heintz' fellow cab

BOARDING HOUSE
zON|NG is 'DUD'

Petitions for two dozen changes
in zoning were taken under advise
ment today by the District zoning
Commission following an allday
hearing yesterday in the District
Building board room.
The much-ballyhooed Sheridan
Circle boarding house case turned
out to be a "dud" and disap'
pointed the throng of curiosity
seekers, who gathered to listen to
the cases.
Although the commission heard
the case, the "big names" Of the
neighborhood, such as Secretary
of Navy Claude Swanson, former
Secretary of war Dwight Davis
and others, who were slated to
p1 otest against invasion of the
boarding houses in the area, die
not appear personally.
Opponents of the boarding
houses urged the commission tc
change the circle area coming to
restricted residential, while pro
ponentS of the boarding houses as
sured the commission if the board
ing houses were tabooed, the
many-roomed houses of the neigh
boz hood would be left vacant and
property would depreciate.

new and boldly dramatic plan for
bringing peace to Spain through
the formation Of q Spanish fed
Grated government guaranteed by
Britain, France. Italy and Ger
many has been decided upon by
the British government.
The Ego ahead" signal for the
far-reaching plan was given Prime
Minister Chamberlain by his cabi-
net while Britain's foreign office
drafted a virtual ultimatum to
Gen. Francisco Franco warning
that further attacks on British
ships will result in drastic" re-
taliatory measures.
WILL SEIZE FLEET
Unless Spanish insurgent planes
cease Immediately their bombing
Of British-owned cargo vessels IN
SPANS territorial waters Great
Britain will act to seize ships Of

Lord Halifax, British foreign
secretary, acted Immediately to
forestan future destruction OF
British vessels since, despite pre-
vious warnings to Franco, three
ships of British registry have been
bombed and sunk by inSurgent
planes in the last 10 days.

depends for it's success upon aid
of Premier Mussolini and Chan

pressure on Franco to agree co
