Starting today, let us look at

has been. There are interesting
things about the colony, and it has
q story going back more than D.
700 years.
Tunisia is in Northern Africa,
across the sea from Italy. Be-
tween Tunisia and the toe of the
Italian boot" is the island of
Sicily, which belongs to Italy.
Tunisla has been a part of the
French Empire for more than half
a century. 1t has an area of 49,
600 square miles, which means it

Some of those on the vessels were
colonists looking for places where
they could build homes for them
selves. Here and there, a stop was
made. We are told that people were
left at six places, but do not have
an account Of what happened to
their settlements.
In one place the vessels went up
q river and entered large lake.
AT the end Of the lake." says the
old record, were high mountains,
and In the mountains lived savage
men dressed in the skins of ami
mails. They kept us from landing
by throwing stones at U.s."
A few years later, the explorers
reached point near the Equator.
Going ashore they saw Savage
people whose bodies were hairy"
The Savage people" probably were
gorillas. Three of them were killed.
and their skins were taken aboard
the vessels. That was the end of
the southwark trip. Hanno and his
men turned about, and sailed safely
back to Carthage.

Great Stars
Tossing With
Symphony
Instrumentalists
Also Presented
In Fine Array

OF the truly great singers in the
world today, probably the best
known three to the public at large
will appear as soloists with the
National Symphony Orchestra dur
ing the coming season, which opens
Sunday, october %, at Constitution
Hall. They are Kristen Flagstad,
greatest of Wagnerian sopranos;
Marjorie Lawrence, one Of the most
versatile of Metropolitan Opera So
pranos, and Nino Martini, leading
Metropolitan tepor, star of radio,
concert stage and screen. OF the
instrumentalists on this seasons
roster are two who in their re-
spective fields have achieved con-
siderable distinction: Rene LIE Roy
stands among the first concert
flutists while Maurice Marechal,
cellist, is famous in Europe.
Nine. Flagstad has been heard in
Washington before; however, her
appearance here on February IA will
be her first with the National SYM
phony Orchestra and will give an
opportunity to hear her with the
background of a symphony orches-
ira.
Strangely enough, the only other
soprano to appear as soloist with
the National Symphony Orchestra
this season is also leading men,
ber of the Wagnerian wing of the
Metropolitan. Marjorie Lawrence,
making her second appearance with
the orchestra on March 6, frequent
ly alternates with Nine. Flagstad
in some of her roles, and, in fact,
made her Metropolitan debut the
year following Flagstad's in the
same opera.
Nino Martini, soloist on Novem-
ber 10, is known wherever there is
a radio, movie house or a concert
platform. The Italian American
tenor has a voice of such quality
that he would still be pre- eminent
in his field if he had none of his
other attributes.
Nine. Flagstad and Miss Law
renee will appear on the midweek
series; Martini, LIE Roy and Mare
chal on the first Sunday series.
Other soloists appearing on the mid
week series include Luboshutz and
Nemenoff, duo pianists; Albert
Spalding, violinist; Myra Hess, Percy
Granger, Moritz Rosenthal and
Marcel Mas, pianists. and Ossy
Renardy, violinist, will be heard on
the first Sunday series. Season tick

Review Of Recordings

Schubert's particularly in the Sec
ond Andantino. Utterly simple, with
only q grace note now and then to
give variety, it Is the purest music
rejecting an unusual serenity of
thought.
The Don Juan Fantasy" Is work
to appeal to any audience and be-
cause of Liszt, a tour de force for
pianist. List began to improvise on
operatic themes during his tour Of
Italy, and purely to catch the pub
lies fancy, but these improvisations
became so popular that he was forced
to write them down. Simon Barer,
the Russian pianist, has prodig-
ious technique and fiery delivery
we'll adapted for show pieces. But
his touch is hard and inflexible and
one has no feeling Of an emotional
depth. For work Of this type he
is a splendid interpreter and the
fantasy is interesting to hear, espe-
cially the lovely piano arrangement
Of the aria from Don Giovanni" La
Ct darem la mano."

The NikadO'
Offered at
Water Gate
Children's Hospital
To Have Proceeds
This Week

Changes in plans will bring the
"Mikado," popular Gilbert and Sui
livan opera, to the Water Gate on
Tuesday and Wednesday, for what
is expected to be the final event of
the season at this popular amuse-
ment center. The entire net proceeds
Of the two performances will be
turned over to Childrens Hospital
for the care of crippled children.
First plans called for the presenta-
ton of The Chocolate Soldier" by
the National Capital Opera Co.
When these plans failed to ma
terialize. Renoux Smith of the T.
Arthur Smith Concert Bureau agreed
to bring an all-New York cast here
in THE Mikado." He was able to
obtain a company. practically intact,
of the all-star variety, and was
fortunate in obtaining Ruth Altman
and Ray Heatherton as stars.
Miss Altman enjoys a wide popu-
larlty as singer of leading roles
in light opera She comes to Wash
ington with long record of successes
to introduce her to the Capitals mu-
sic lovers. Mr.. Heatherton is widely
known on stage and radio, and Mr..
Smith feels fortunate in obtaining
him to star in this popular opera.
Gilbert and Sullivan have ALWAYS
been popular in Washington, and
it is probable that if the engagement
for these two nigths proves a success,
efforts will be made to bring COM
panies here again next year.
Use of the Water Gate was OBJ
tanned through the courtesy of Frank
T. Gartside, acting superintendent
of National Capital Parks. 1t was
explined that any profits would have
to go to charity and Children's Hos
pital was selected as beneficiary.
