KINDLER HEARD
IN MOVING PLEA
FOR ORCHESTRA
Music Lovers Support
Seen in Applause
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN


DR.. Hans Kinder is the most
gifted commentator on the SYM
phony orchestra and its litera-
ture that I have heard in a
long contact with the art and
the 1900 or 1,400 music
lovers who have attended his
Children's Concerts for Adults"
in the Roosevelt High School
will agree with this statement.
He ended the series last night,
rather dramatically, with a
plea that the National Sym.
phony Orchestra, which he
founded and which he has de-
veloped to make Washington a
better city in which to live, be
given the funds wherewith to
continue its service to the COM
munity.
BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED
This appeal he prefaced with
an unprogrammed performance
OF the introduction to the last
movement OF Brahms C major
symphony, one of the great
pages in the literature, beauti-
fully played on this occasion,
and he told how the orchestra
members gladly continued re-
hearsing it even though there
was no money to pay them
overtime.
There followed an analysis
and performance of the prelude
to Die MeiStersinger," another
illuminating and inspiring mo-
ment; and when the audience
burst into extraVagant tribute
he asked them, quite simply, to
do everything in their power to
keep the orchestra. If their ap-
plauSe was accurate measure of
their response the orchestra is
saved.
DR.. Kindler's theme last night
was form in music" He man
aged to make his discourse en-
tertaining as well as informa-
tive, selecting his illustrations
with skill, playing not too much,
but everything exceptionally.
The program covered a great
range of literature beginning
with Frescobaldi and ending
with Wagner, and taking in Mo-
zart, as of the A major SYM
phony, the finale of Beethoven's
seventh symphony, Jarnefelt's
Praeludium, Mosslov's cacopho-
nous picture of an Iron Foun-
dry" and Die Meistersinger
Vorspiel.

When jobs are hard to get, don't
let cold interfere with your en-

workers lose a total of 108 million
working days. This runs into a
staggering cost of five hundred

large home to manage and several
mouths to feed-as we'll as a hand
some young movie actor to impress.
What happened when she tries to
make fluffy lemon meringue pie or
a marshmallow chocolate cake? What
drops in for dinner?
To unravel the mystery in advance
would be to rob this clever tale of it's
novel approach. rHowevr, the au-
dience is due to share in a rollicking
good story and to learn much about
home-making at the same time.
Every listener will find harvest
of practical ideas among the sugges-
tions for more efficient home-making,
covering such daily problems as laund
dry, refrigeration, up-to-date enter
tanning, beauty secrets, news of mod
ernized home equipment and tips on
making these mechanical servants
yield the highest degree of usefulness.
1t will be real cooking class, just
as though the model kitchens were

clever shortcuts, and the distribution
of daily gifts and real surprises.
