UNCLE RAYS CORNER

If you had lived in ancient Car
thage, you probably would have
heard a legend like this:
, Carthage was started by the good
Queen Dido, who had been ruler of
Phoenicia. Her husband was killed
and the ueen fled from her native
country. taking feet to Libya IAN
cient name for Northern Africa.
The ruler of this region was asked
to give land where she could start
colony. Yes he replied. You
can have as much land as you can
put; a bulls hide aroundr
That did not seem much land
but the Queen was clever woman.
Very WELL she said. That will be
the bargain With great care she
cut a bulls hide into thin strips. By
her skill she was able to take hun
dreds of strips from the hide. Then
she, tied the strips together and nut
them around the land in the CITY of
Carthage"
Like most other legends, that story
probably has little or no truth in it
Dido, however, was worshiped as a
goddess by the people of Carthage.
After Carthage had grown to great
size, another city rose to power. II
was the city of Rome, and it be-
came mistress of a mighty empire

Tunis has population of more than
100000 and is the most important
city in Tunisia.
The present-day visitor to Tunis
can make a short trip to the place
where the remains of Carthage are
to be seen. There are parts of an
cient walls and of an open-air
theater. Small stretches of Roman
roads and a Roman circus ground
also have been laid bare by men
who have dug down to find Car
thage during the past half century.
Yet the glory of Carthage has
passed away, and the city is little
more than memory. Rome, on the
other hand, is a living city.
Mussolini has read the history of
the Roman empire, and knows that
long ago Carthage was won by the
Romans. 1t may be that this knowl.
edge has led him to turn his eyes
toward Tunis, and the region for
which it is the chief seaport.

Quoted the National Symphony Or
chestra in concert. Russian-born
Mr.. Kurtz owes his close association
with the ballet form to q visit the
late Anna Pavlowa paid in 1927 to
Stuttgart, where Kurtz was con-
Quoting the Philharmonic. So i'm
pressed was the great ballerina with
Kurtz's musicianship that she Ell
gagged him to conduct her London
season and subsequently her South
American tour. In South America
Kurtz conducted symphony concerts
in Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires,
which led to his engagement by the
TAFT management for an Australian
tour. Hardly had he arrived back In
Stuttgart when he received three
more offers to return to Australia,
but his European contracts pre-
vented.
Mr.. Kurtz's 80 years have been full
OF dramatic accidents. His first en-
gagement in 1920 was an almost
melodramatic last-minute substi-
tuition for the famous Artur Nikisch,
when he conducted for Isadora Dun
can, followed by three concerts with
the Berlin Philharmonic. Again in
Paris, in 1888, he met Col. de Basil,
who asked him if he would help out
in an emergency and conduct Bal
let Russo concert without a re-
hearsal. He did. and has been mu-
sical director of the Ballet Russo
ever since. He has also done copsid-
erable recording with the London
Philharmonic. Last week Mr.. Kurtz
made his debut at the LeWisohn
Stadium, New York, conducting the
fourth week of the stadium concerts.
On Wednesday Mr.. Kurtz will con-
duct the National Symphony Or
chestra in Berlioz's Symphonic Fan
tastique": Sibelius' "Canzonetta,"
Schuberts allegro" and "Minuet"
from the Third Symphony" and
Wagner's Overture to the Flying
Dutchman."
Appears as SOlOist.
Appearing as soloist with Mr..
Kurtz on Wednesday will be the dy-
manic and versatile young Ameri-
can baritone, Robert Crawford.
known as "Alaskas favorite son."
because of his origin in the boom
town of Dawson, Mr.. Crawford had
made enough as surveyor at the
age of 16 to send himself through
Princeton. There followed fellow
ships to the American Conserva-
tory at Fontainebleu and to the
Juilliard Graduate School. A men,
Der of the faculty at Juilliard, a So
loist at New York's ST.. Thomas
Church and distinguished COM
poser, Mr.. Crawford has made many
notable appearances in opera, con-
cert and radio.
With Mr.. Kurtz and the National
Symphony Orchestra Mr.. Crawford
will sing two groups of two numbers
each on Wednesday nights program.
The first group consists of "Solilo-
quy," from "Caponsacchi," by Hage-
man, and "The Buzzard Song" from
"Porgy and Bess," by George Gersh-
win; the second is composed of
"Toreador Song" from Carmen"
by Bizet, and "Caliban In the Coal
Mines" by Lewis Raymond.

Amazed Public as Child.
Gloria Perkins returns tonight to
the conductor and orchestra with
whom she made her debut. That was
in 1888, when Miss Perkins had
achieved the ripe age of IL. The
complete mastery of the instrument
which she exhibited upon that occa-
sion amazed and delighted the crit
icaI fraternity and laymen alike.
So successful was her debut that
she was re-engaged as soloist for
the National Symphony Orchestra's
next season. Since then she has ap-
peared with other of the countrys
distinguished symphony orchestras
and has given two Town Hall re-
citals which brought forth superla-
tives from the New York critics.
An artist-pupil of the renowned
Louis Persinger, Miss Perkins has
been playing the violin five hours
daily since she was so young that
q special violin had to be made that
would accommodate her tiny fingers.
