An expedition was all ready to

a number of months, and there was
a sizable staff of men, so they needed
a lot OF supplies. Among other
things they had 233 cases of canned
goods. When the expedition ar

In Brussels in May OF last year at
the Library of Congress, played Mar
tinu'S Concerto for String Quartet
and Orchestra" and Poot's "Ballade"
for the same combination with the
National Symphony.
Great interest attended the ap-
pearance Of the quartet composed of
Alphonse Onnou and Laurent Hal
leux. violins; German Provost, viola,
and Robert Mas, cello. Their choice
of the first concerto ever to be
written for quartet and orchestra
and Of work by the young Flem-
ish composer, Marcel Poot, was such
as to give the most comprehensive
idea Of the splendid unity in thought
and presentation which these artists
have arrived at after Is years of
ensemble playing.
The strength, vigor and original
ity of Martinus concerto colors the
work in all its three movements. In
the first movement there is rugged
ness and a boldness without subter-
fuge expressed harshly but with
vehemence in new harmonic form.
He employs, in the second move
ment, effective means of surround
ing the solo quartet with orchestral
sound that assists, but does not in
trude on the dreamy mood which
the string instruments create. A
theme is disclosed by the quartet
and echoed family by the orchestra
which. as 1t develops, is reduced
to a plucked string accompaniment
or barely audible chord now and
| then. The finale takes up once more
the more vigorous note OF the first
movement.
The charm of the concerto lies
in the skillful manner in which
the quartet is set, like jewel in
! the midst OF the orchestra, there
to keep its identity undisturbed by
the heavier voiced background.
While its language is modern in the
extreme, the concerto's finest mo-
ments are those where the quartet
predominates. So great was the re-
ception given the artists at the end
of the performance that they re-
turned for an encore selecting from
their chamber music repertoire the
lovely finale from Haydn's Quar-
tet in G Minor"
Yesterdays performance of the
Poot "Ballade" was its first in this
country. its premiere taking place
during the anniversary celebration
in Brussels. What strikes one at
once in this work is its virility and
its compactness. What the COM
poser has to say is Of positive quail
ity and clearly defined in his own
mind and under the spur of his con-
viction and with a technique of ex-
preston easily flowing through this
inspiration. he produces a COM
pleteness of form and idea in this
work. The Pro Arte members played
it with illnesses and if the work did
not receive the same recognition
given the concerto, it had its share
of success. The orchestra, in both
numbers, gave splendid perform
ances of its portion

tremendous success which the Pro

was a program which had variety
and life and it introduced new music
by three Washington composers.
OF the new compositions the di-

Robert G. Barrow seemed to us to
be the most interesting from every
standpoint. Mr.. Barrows music is

also gave opportunities to three of
the groups best artists-Tatiana

Mary Day-to shine in solos and
they aquitted themselves nobly. We
do wish, though. that Miss Day could
find it in her heart to smile cheer
fully more often, because when she
isn't looking stern tmaybe even when
she Isl she is one of the best dancers
around these parts.
Other new music of note is that
Grace Shannon has contrived for

blends gracefully with the movement
of the dance Paris by Gaslight"

quaint and it did provide some ex-
ceedingly gay moments with Miss

In addition to the direction of the
group Miss Gardiner made two per-
sonal contributions to this third
program-in leading role in THE
Magic Flute" which she gave her
fine comedy touch. and in a Span
ish dance, which she did with con-
siderable spirit.
This latter number was one Of 4
group of national dances. another
of which permitted Baltimore's Will
lard Van Simons to score one of the
hits of the evening. And before
leaving we'd like to remark again
that Miss Gardiner is something of
wizard at handling large crowds
on that small King-Smith Playhouse
stage with a minimum of confusion.
