KINDLER SCORES.
WITH STRAUSS.
POEM DON JUAN
Orchestra Again Proves
Value of Enlargement
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

DR.. Kinder and the recently en-
larged National Symphony Or.
chestra earned many tributes from
their listeners yesterday afternoon
in Constitution Hall with their &C.
count of the Strauss tone-poem,
Don Juan"
When soliciting an increased
sustaining fund last spring, the
gifted conductor promised that
many representative compositions
heretofore excluded from the rep
ertoire of the resident orchestra
by reason of its numerical limita-
tions would be included in this
seasons programs if he got the
additional 20 players for whom he
asked.
He set about keeping that prom
ise almost at once. Wednesday
night there were the important
Wagnerian excerpts, demanding
an orchestra of more than 80 men.
Yesterday came Strauss youthful
tour de force. Nowadays it is ad-
mired most often for its technical
mastery of orchestral SonoritieS
and of obvious but eloquent the
matte invention. To be convinc-
ing, the Sonorities must be made
so many studies in tonal beauty
and the themes must be abSolved
of their theatricalism through the
sincerity of the interpreter.
DEEP, FLEXIBLE TONES
DR.. Kinder accompanied these
necessary assignments with au-
thority. He evoked a rich, deep
and flexible tone-quality from his
enlarged string choir, colored it
skillfully with the tone of wood
winds and brasseS, marShaled the
cleaning pageantry of the COM
position with a fine feeling for
contrast and climax.
There was a sensitive reading
of the "Leonore" overture, No. !,
from Beethoven's opera "Fidelio," !"
to open the concert and the pub
lie derived great satisfaction from
the ancient dances by Corelli.
The Vienna Choir Boys, heard
last season with the National
Symphony, returned to assist at
this concert. The entire second
half of the program was allotted
to them. It must be admitted at
once that the large and not too
resonant spaces of Constitution
Hall again proved unfriendly to
their sweet but fragile tone. They
should be heard in an intimate
setting. So much Of their per
formance yesterday was inaudible
that derogation seems unfair and
praise an unnecessary hazard.
SINGER PROVES ART
Henriette Bagger Plum, resident
Danish mezzo-soprano with ample
European background, sang in
the attractive music room of the
Hotel Roosevelt, last night, and
persuaded a capacity audience of
the sincerity of her art and the
wide range of her repertoire.
She found English and Amer
ican songs by Dunn, Curran. Ban
took and Watts that extoled the
beauty of our language in song
and made convincing demonStra-
ton of the resource of these COM
posers. Her group of German
Lieder was less unusual, but she
revived TSchaikowsky's lovely and
forgotten Pendant el ball." re
captured its sad charm, restored
the same masters "Nur Wer die
Sehnsucht kennt" to its original
simplicity, represented the Italian
classicistS with taste and stepped
only once into the field of opera
with more musical than dramatic
success.
Her voice is smooth, warm, not
of great variety of color but used
with no fault of technical habit.

Retort to Mr.. WPA:

You didn't sign name, sir,
And don't knotD your makeup;
The ashes of pity, of enUy and hate, sir,
MethnkS, / am not one to rake up.
But thing is certain oh dear pal o. mine,
It's q toSS-up to toho is the goat"
I'm not to be enued, you're not to be ped,
For somehow tUe're "in the same boat"
You're struggling right but youUe consolation:
You haze four kids and 1Dtte.
And though it's fight to make both ends meet, sir,
You're at least getting SOMETHING from life.
You haze the loUe of your kids and your mate,
And to them, in your home, you're q KING;
Whilst 90 along Just "eriSttng," you see,
With thought whdt the future tDiH bring.
But let's keep chinS let's laugh at EN- aH
For this HteS Just roll OF the dice"
We're both gonna lick this old Dord and its strife yet

Two spills lent excitement to
the play when Cadet Milton was
knocked off his pony in a close en-
counter. Later Captain Sherburn
was thrown from his mount as the
latter slipped, but no injury re-
suited and Sherburn continued
play.
Besides Captain Sherburn
Major Mcclure played a sterling
game. Each member of the losing
team scored at least one goal.

SEABRIGHT, N. j., July %
U.N.S)-The tennis seasons most
important series of crises is about
to be .unfolded in the seabright
bowl mems quarter.flnals this
afternoon.
A major upset or two is ex-
pected to follow the surprising
eliminations yesterday when Will
mer Allison, of Austin, Tex, re-
peated last years Seabright his
tory over young Joe Hunt, Of Los
Angeles, and Bob Hartman, of Oak
land, put out Hal Surface, jr., Of
Kansas City.
The only three seeded players
remaining Bobby Riggs, Of Chi
cago; Frank Parker, of Beverly
Hills, Cal, and BitSy Grant, Of
Atlanta-are due for all sorts Of
trouble. The most promising
match, however, is the meeting Of
I1kC COLAACNdCh VCVCA o4AoS SAA1AG0OAA
and Sidney Wood, jr.
In the other matches, Riggs will
be pitted against Harman; Grant
against 19-year-old, lanky Frank
Kovacs, Oakland (Cal.) sensation,
and Parker against the rapidly i'm
proving Elwood T. Cooke, Of Port
land, Ore.
Cooke showed such skill in roust-
ing George Toley, Of Los Angeles,
in straight sets yesterday that he
is expected to carry Parker to the
limit.
Parker, on the other hand, ex.
hibited remarkable poise and skill
in the pinches against Frank
Guernsey, jr., of Orlando. Fla, the
intercollegiate C h m p ION, and
came from behind at IA to take
the first set.

WARRENTON'S
H HORSE S H OW
TO OPEN SEPT. 8
BY Lillian RIXEY

It isn't going to be continual
round Of up-and-over at Warren
toms horse show this year, accord
ing to F. D. Gaskins, manager,
who yesterday announced that the
thirty-ninth annual show will go
on September 9 and 10. For the
first time in the State of Virginia,
wings will be eliminated from the
open jumping class.
Another innovation will be a
change in the set-up of hunters
hurdles over the inside course.
Heretofore, the four jumps were
taken as they came around the
oval. This year, hunters will be
required to tackle them in a figure
eight.
These two changes will penalize
the flashy horseshow type whose
manners are poor and whose
mouth is hard. A change in EN-
phasis is seen which favors the
working hunter who will take any
obstacle at which he is put and
answers the bit with true tracta'
bility.
Thirty-eight classes in all are
scheduled for the two-day card,
which annually numbers among
its spectators the cream Of the
Northern Virginia horsey set
There will be seven breeding
classes and five children's events
as well as hunter divisions, open
jumping, hunt teams and the
Corinthian class.
Judges include Col. Wyndham
Torr, of the British Embassy
George McNary. Of Pittsburgh;
Sydney Waetrs, of Monkton, Md.
Mrs. James Guitar, Of Warrenton
and Walter L. Simpson, of Pur
cellville.
Something new in horse-shov
