KINDER COVERS
WIDE RANCE IN
Third MATINEE
Miss Manners Unable
To Sing at Concert
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

The third Sunday matinee by
the National Symphony escaped
the designation popular" only by
the choice of its first and last
numbers.
The opening prelude and fugue
by Handel in the recent Kinder
transcription, made known at the
beginning of the season, is serious
music in the best sense of the
word and also a highly successful
example of the arranger'S art, and
the "Pathetique" symphony OF
Tschaikowsky, though once quite
generally popular, has proven too
lugubrious in content, too de-
pressed and hysterical in feeling
to win the wide approval enjoyed
by the same masters fourth and
fifth symphonies.
BRIDGES THESIS
Frank Bridge, the distinguished
English composer, has a thesis
concerning the immediate rise to
popularity of TSchaikowskyS sym
phonies as contrasted with the
slow apprehension on the part of
the public of the enduring beauty
of the four Brahms masterpieces.
He contends that Tschaikowsky
still is loved by those who loved
him first, or by their spiritual
descendants, and has lost nothing
by reason of the universal regard
now bestowed upon Brahms.
STUNT IN DISPLAY
It seems more probable that
each music lover passes through
a Tschaikowsky phase and ar
rives in due time at the higher
standards of appreciation de-
manded by the music of Brahms.
This explains the success of such
a revival as DR.. Kinder staged
yesterday; this and the growing
VirtuoSity of his orchestra, which
becomes more and more manifest
as the season progresses.
The number belonging def
nitely in the popular" class
heard yesterday Schoenherr'S
setting for the modern orchestra
of the Kreutzer etude in C, known
as Perpetual Motion" This is
Q stunt in technical display.
DR.. Kinder substituted Mo-
Zart's A Major symphony at the
last moment when it was learned
that Lucille Manners, popular
radio soprano, could not appear
because of illness.
One of the most delightful COM
positions that ever came from the
pen of a composer who died trag-
ically in the thirty-fifth year, the
symphony was recreated yeSter-
day with all the charm displayed
when it was first heard in this
city in last seasons concerts.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-06-23
Delays Disastrous

It required the efforts of two Connecti- cut legislators one of them from our own city, to straighten out Waterbury's PWA difficulties this week. Thanks to the speedy intervention of Senator Augustine Lonergan and Rep. J. Joseph Smith the city's contemplated program of public works projects were included among those approved and sent to President Roosevelt for approval Just when this is forthcoming is conjectural inasmuch as the President is faced with gigantic task in passing judgment on multitude of spend-lend jobs covering the entire na- tion.
 That this state should not suffer from lack of attention is seen already in the opening days approvals. These included the necessary funds for the new home for the Predetermined at Southbury The grant was the largest of the initial ones announced yesterday Waterbury will be vitally concerned in this as it falls in this district and most of the workers engaged at the project are from this city. We mere ly mention this as an indication that per haps early forgetfulness may not work against later participation in more funds locally
 Failure of the city to get it's project outlines in official hands on time is blamed for the near-disaster. This should persuade officials here that only the ut most coordination will make it possible for an extensive public works program to be carried on here during the next year or so Conditions demand that every effort be made to have the city included in fed eral grants under the plans to unloose billion-dollar flood on the nation. There are many projects possible; we must do our best to make them available.

Lehman For Senator

New York is pivotal state in presiden- tial elections. It has become all the more so since President Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected and reelected to the presl- dency. The fact that the Democratic Ma tional Committee Chairman, James A. Farley, is also from New York State adds to the importance of all political parties making it battlefield. The announce ment from Governor Herbert H. Lehman that he will seek the office vacated by the death of Royal s. Copeland is simply pouring oil on sloW-burning fire.
 The voters of New York this fall will get chance to elect two U. S. Senators, an unusual procedure under our method of electing members of the upper branch of Congress. We don't see how anyone in the Democratic party can dispute Gov. Lehman's right to run if he is in the mood to do so. He has obeyed injunctions from national Democratic headquarters for several years now. He didn't want to run for governor in 1886; he undoubtedly would not have been candidate this fall.
 While Lehman was valuable to the na tional Democratic cause in 1886, so much so that personal plea to run was ad- dressed to him by the President, there's no doubt he's not the fair-haired boy with the administration since he opposed sev- eral choice New Deal measures But there might be some hesitation about opposing Lehman on the part of the administra- tion in view of his reputed vote-getting ability and general favor among New York State voters.
 We can view one possibility of pushing Lehman out of the senatorial race and perhaps right out of politics, too. That would be decision by Postmaster Gen. eral Farley to seek the senatorship, which many political writers have cited as his ultimate objective Such a maneuver might spell success or victory for the Democratic party in both 1888 and 1940, which may seem far distant but which is figuring very prominently in all the 1888 plans of major political parties.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-06-23
Houses

Better houses must be built in future subdivisions, says a speaker at real estate convention. And selling must go along different lines The realtor should stress location and usefulness for family living instead of orchid bathrooms. Use less ornamentation of houses adds greatly to the first cost, adds an unexpected amount to the upkeep and does no good on the outside, where it's bad taste soon becomes manifest, and no good on the inside, where it usually cuts some of the rooms into queer shapes, declared this speaker
 Houses should be built from the inside and not from the outside, said another They should be functional Instead of setting an outside shape to be stylish, let ting the rooms fall where they may, with consequent inefficiency of housekeeping, weariness to the housewife and an effect of restlessness on everyone who enters them, the rooms should be laid out for simple, effective and pleasant living When this is done. the outside usually
