Some of the why Pine county voters should
support the reelection of Gov Elmer Benson and the
state Farmer-Labor Ticket are:
1. Gov Benson has cooperated with President Roose-
welt in the New Deal program to aid the farmers
employed, home and business This has
helped to bring into Pine County more than million
dollars in 1887 alone to help fight the continued Hoover
depression. This has helped to save homes,
schools and business.
2. The 1888 state real estate tax levy property in
Pine County 1919 less than in 1887 and the lowest
since 1918 1t dropped $8605 in year. The state
of Minnesota in 1887 paid Pine County for Schools
in 1887. Compare this to oniy sIS8,617 received in
Pine County from the state in 1923.
g. The present administration has been successful in
tax program that is based the ability to pay and
thus help replace local property taxes on homes The
present income taxes amount to nearly $12 100000
annually of which Pine County citizens pay less than
$780, The home owners tax exemption has saved
home owners in Minnesota $80000OO Pine

gram. The mining companies and other corporations

Ormandy Conducts
At Constitution
Hall Nov. %

The Philadelphia Symphony Or
chestra, in giving its next concert
in Constitution Hall November 20,
Is we'll equipped to present an all
Wagner program from the Nibelun-
gen Ring. Eugene Ormandy, the
conductor and musical director, has
at his disposal one of the largest
and most complete orchestral or
CARNATIONS In existence today.
Although Wagner's music was
largely intended as a perfect weld
ing of music and the music-drama,
concert-goers are almost unanimous
in their desire to hear his music
alone. The infinite orchestral COL
grafton, the massive musical pic
lures, in fact the loveliest music
that man knows how to make, result
in the most powerful abstract music
ever conceived.
Mr.. Ormandy has chosen selec-
tions from the Ring that for the
most part have not been heard too
frequently. The program includes:
Invocation of Alberich" and En-
trance of the Gods Into Walhalla, !"
from "Rheingold";; Ride of the
Valkyries," Brunnhilde's Pleading"
and Wotan's Farewell and Fire
Music" from "Walkure";; "Waldwe-
ben" and Siegfried Ascending the
Mountain to Meet Brunnhilde" and
finale from "Siegfried";; Rhine
Journey" Funeral March," I'm
notation" and closing scene from
"Gotterdammerung."

The third movement returns to the
energetic sweep of the first, with
the full sorority of the orchestra

In his diary Sibelius wrote of this

HIS orchestra plays the fifth sym-

TINS work, which he revised pains

his own words imply.
The album also contains a re-

psychological analysis than in sem

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

One of the greatest contributions
to the recording repertoire is the
Victor Co.'S release this month of
Sibelius' Fifth Symphony" played
by the Boston Symphony, with Serge
Koussevitzky conducting.
If one we're to plan a technical
analysis of this superb symphony of
Sibelius 1t might be simple to find
adequate words to describe it, but
attempting to give some idea of its
emotional appeal leaves one almost
at loss for words. Yet the effect
cannot be truthfully called an emo
tional appeal. for it is so grandiose
and powerful that the reaction
tranScends all of the simpler feeling
that music can draw forth from the
listener. In Sibelius' music one is
faced with something so titanic that
1t awakens a sensation of awe Of
mightier dimensions than anything
the genius Of Wagner in his super
lative music drama has ever &C
complished.
The enormous musical reach Of
Sibelius which, while not disdain-
ing glance from time to time at
the gentle beauty around him, grasps
with firm and sure hold the essence
of cosmic worlds is what startles one
preoccupied with mundane cir
cumstances. His music is clarion
call to lift the eyes and see the
grandeur of creation and feel the
strength of which humanity is ca
pable but which it allows to lie
fallow.
This but feebly describes the leap
Of the. spirit as the symphony un-
folds. The music is uncompromis-
ing, raw and bold. The first move
ment, after strong and forceful
measures, becomes restless, which
is sometimes loudly proclaimed and
again softly intoned, as when the
bassoon has a quiet phrase against
the agitated fluttering of the
strings, which then take on a pc
culiarly accented rhythm. A re-
turn to earth is noted in the few
gay passages which suddenly are
brought in.
The second movement is calm

Tipica Tour
Has Mexican
Native Spirit
Mercado Concert
In Continental
Hall Offered

The third national tour of Mer-
cado's Mexican Tipica Orchestra,
which will appear here on Monday
evening, November 81, in the D. A.
R. Continental Hall, Seventeenth
and D streets. has created great
deal of interest in musical circles
throughout the country.
The Tipica brings to the concert
stage an Interpretation of the beau
tiful rhythmic music of Mexico that
no other organization can offer. Ma
i've Mexican instruments provide
much of the flavor of the orchestra
Probably the most unusual of
these Is the salterio, which greatly
resembles the either and has soft
and peculiar sweetness of tone which
has been handed down from the time
Of the poet-king, David; few changes
have been made in the construction
OF the salterio since those long ago
days. It has over 100 strings and
the scales are arranged in a very
complicated manner, making it very
difficult to play.
Many unique instruments of the
percussion type are also employed.
Ell quiro is a very popular one, made
of dried pumpkin. 1t is several feet
long with number of grooves on
its surface. A weed stick about the
size of a pencil is used to rub over
the grooves, producing rhythmic
and peculiar sounds; the toponaztli,
similar in size and shape to water
melon, is made of wood, followed
and with two long, narrow openings
at the top and another across, leav-
ing shape of two large organ reeds
facing one another. and is played
with two sticks
These and many other unusual
instruments will feature the orches-
trail program of the Tipica, which
also includes brilliant tenor and So
prano; Arturo Cortes and Lolita VAL
dez, and the colorful Mexican dane
ers. Luis and Josefina Ojeda.
The concert is presented by Cont
Berenguer management as a benefit
for the Mount Holyoke College Clubs
scholarship fund. Tickets are avail
able at kits, 1880 G street.

knowing about it and knowing also
that they may be turning down a
fully acknowledged performer in
favor of what may be second rate.
All this will undoubtedly seem
very complicated and difficult to
control, but it should be given seri-
Gus consideration by those whose
voices carry weight in such matters.
There is more and more a tendency
to work out some plan by which
the deserving may be favored and
the undeserving eliminated. For
there are quacks in the musical pro-
fession as well as in any other, and
the harm they do is responsible for
much of the lack of interest in
music by laymen.
Surely there could be some plan
worked out to help the musician
who is ready to earn his living by
music. This country is increasing
its amount and type of artists to
a surprising extent, and must now
turn its attention to how to pro-
vide for them. It has become the
custom to inquire into the condi-
ton of farmers and laborers and
assist them to q livelihood, but the
musician, who asks only to be in
dependent in order to work out his
own destiny, receives little encour-
agement. If it were mutually agreed
upon by organizations and musi-
clans, who do not belong to union.
that services rendered will be paid
for, then an advance will have been
made.
And while on the subject Of seek
ing means by which musicians can
earn a living, why is not more done
to fit pianists to become accom-
panists? Here is a field of accomp-
lishment that is very empty, yet one
that could bring fine financial re-
turns to those who specialize in 1t.
Every singer and every string in
strumentalist needs an accompanist
for his work, but there are very few
pianists who can meet this need.
For some reason, pianists seem to
think it beneath them to be known
as an accompanist, yet it is a really
great art, and one that will help a
solo pianist to greater perfection in
his own work.
To be a good acocmpanist, a pianist
must read music easily, know its
fundamentals, be able to transpose
and know the literature of singers
and instrumentalists. He must un-
derstand the style of the music and
the demands of the soloist. This is
an education in itself and rounds out
that of pianist to an extraordinary
degree. Nothing is so terrifying to
violinist or a singer as to hear an
accompanist stumbling through the
piano score. No matter how much
practice is devoted to bettering 1t,
a soloist is never at ease with an
accompanist who has shown his lack
of knowledge at the first rehearsal.
Here then is a field OF musical en-
deavor that is not crowded and for
which fee is gladly and adequately
paid. If pianist cannot earn money
as solo artist, why not become an
accompanist sought after eagerly,
once it is known that he understands
his business?

Tibbett Here Next
Sunday, Kreisler.
To Follow Him

Lawrence Tibbett. renowned Amer
lean baritone of the Metropolitan
Opera Association, and Fritz Kreis-
Ter, world-famous violinist, are both
announced for recitals at Consti-
tuition Hall next week under the
management of Dorothy Hodgkin
Dorsey.
Mr.. Tibbett, who will make his
only recital appearance of the sea-
son at Constitution Hall next Sum-
day afternoon, November 20, at 4
O'Clock, has recently returned from
memorable six-month tour of
Australia and New Zealand, where
he covered $4,000 miles by boat,
plane, rail and motor to sing a
total of SIS concerts and established
a new record of concerts given in
the antipodes within that period of
time.
A curious and delightful feature
of a concert thur of this region,
says Mr.. Tibbett, is the ability of
an artist to give a veritable series
of concerts in one city before NOV
ing on to the next. Instead of play
ing concert in Sydney, for instance,
and then moving on to another
city, Mr.. Tibbett gave no less than
13 performances in the city of Sgd
ney between April q and May Is,
virtually concert every other day.
Melbourne heard him II consecu-
tive times between May % and June
%, while Brisbane, Adelaide. Perth
and Auckland heard him three times
or more.
Already Mr.. Tibbett has opened
his latest concert tour of the United
States at Los Angeles and his op-
cratic season at Chicago. where ne
appeared on October % with the
Chicago Opera in "Otello," "Rigo-
letto" and Tales of Hoffman" The
baritone returns to the Metropolitan
Opera late this month for the OPEN
ing of his Eastern operatic season,
during the course of which Tibbett
will appear in the title role of
much-heralded revival of "Falstaff,"
in which the singer made his Met
ropolitan debut under sensational
circumstances in 1925 in the role
of Ford.
Seats for the Tibbett recital may
be obtained at Mrs. Dorsey's con-
cert bureau, in Droop's, 1900 G
street NV.
Fritz Kreisler will make his only
recital appearance in Washington
this year at Constitution Hall on
Tuesday evening, November %, at
$50. He will play Viotti's A minor
concerto, No. %; the Bach Cha
come" (unaccompaniedD, Tartini's
Devils Trill" and other compost
tions by Beethoven, Mozart, De-
bussy-Hartman, Rimsky- -Korsakoff
and De Falla, as we'll as the always
charming group of Kreisler encores.
AS usual. Carl Lamson will accom-
pany him.
Kreisler, who is almost as we'll
known as composer as he is as a
violinist, believes the world is too
turbulent at the present time for
effective artistic creation He HIM
self finds this turbulence almost
prohibitory when he attempts to
compose.
"The longer my work lasts the
less I like it," he says. Did you
ever dream that you had performed
something marvellous, only to awake
and learn it was all a dream?
Most artistic creation is like that"
For this reason, says Kreisler. he
never could listen to recordings OF
his own works because their made
quacy annoyed him.
