Demand for Symphonies Great
With Second Week O Opening
1000 Sets of Records and 200 Players
Already Secured Through Stars Offer

Having already surpassed even the
highest expectations of its sponsors,
The Stars campaign to promote a
greater appreciation of the musical
masterpieces of the ages throughout
Washington and vicinity tomorrow
will enter its second week.
In literally thousands of homes in
Washington and nearby Maryland
and Virginia, countless music lovers
are able to enjoy--many for the first
time-one of the greatest musical
works in symphonic literature. Franz
Schubert's beloved Unfinished
Symphony by means of the record
ings being made available by The
Star.
The response to The Stars un-
usual offer during the last SIX days
has been Overwhelming, to say the
least. Public interest in the cam
paign has gained momentum with
each passing day.
The Schubert symphony. first of
10 symphonic works being made
available in the music appreciation
campaign. was offered to the public
Tor the first time only last Monday.
AT the same time, the electric record
players included in the offer were
made available for distribution.
1000 Sets Obtaiqed Already.
During the six days in which this
opportunity has been available more
than 1000 sets of the recordings of
the Unfinished" Symphony have
been obtained by music lovers. This
means a total distribution of more
than $4,000 records, since there are
three records to each set.
More than 1900 of those who
have obtained the recordings also
acquired the electric record players
to attach to their radios.
In addition, hundreds of reserva-
tions for the symphonies and the
record players keep coming in every
day and yesterday the number OF
reservations totaled more than $500.
The reservation forms are being
received not only from the District,
Virginia and Maryland, but from
practically every Eastern State,
many of the Southern States and
from as far away as Wyoming and
Montana. Readers of The Star in
many communities outside> of the
metropolitan area also have written
letters commenting The Stars un-
dertaking and expressing deep in
terest in the offer.
Schools Welcome Opportunity.
Although only a week old, the
campaign already has been made
part of the curriculum of one Of
the city's largest schools. Eastern
High School. and other schools have
started arrangements for actively
participating in the offer.
Most of the activity throughout
the week, however, was centered i'll
the special music appreciation booth
III the lobby of The Star Building,
where a corps Of clerks was kept On
the jump every day to handle the
avalanche of requests for the elec-
trio record players and the ''Unfin-
ished' symphony recordings.
The booth will be closed all day
today, but will reopen at ain. to-
morrow to continue the distribu-
ton of the Schubert symphony
Each week day clerks will be on
duty at the booth from am. to

cordlngs of the second symphonic
work in the music appreciation offer

May Wear koh-i-Noor
Diamond in Capital
Royal Couple Reported
Planning to Bring
.Crowns to u. S.

Washingtonians may have peek
at one Of the worlds most valuable
diamonds when King George vi and
Queen Elizabeth of England visit
here next June.
According to reports the Kings
Imperial State Crown land the
Queens platinum crown, both
"musts" on the lists of most London
sightseers, may leave their closely
guarded glass-inclosed case in the
Tower of London to make their first
transatlantic crossing with the
British royal pair.
The Kohi-Noor diamond sets
prominently in Queen Elizabeth's S
diadem. Since it is detachable, she
may pin the valuable gem on her
dress.
The famed jewel whose history
can be traced back to the 14th CEN
tury, became the property of the
British crown in 1850 through the
East India Co. 1t formerly belonged
to Nadir Shah, the Persian con-
queror in 1899, who gave it its name,
meaning mountain of light" Orig
inally the Koh-i-Noor weighed 1856
carats. Later after being recut in
London by Amsterdam workmen, its
weight was reduced to 1O6 carats. 1t
Is believed by some that the Kohl
Moor and the famed Orloff diamonds
are fragments of the Great Mogul
one OF the Russian Crown Jewels.
Crown Made for Victoria.
The Imperial State Crown, one of
the most beautiful and valuable in
the world, was made for Queen Vic
torla in 1888 and includes such gems
as the Black Princes ruby, Queen
Elizabeth's pearl ear-drops and the
Stuart sapphire taken from the
crown of Charles II.
Just when and where the King and
Queen will wear their crowns is a
matter of question since they are
generally worn only on state occa-
sions. However, should the King
assemble the Canadian Parliament
at Ottawa, it is reasonably certain
that crowns would be in order.
Needless to say the crowns would
certainly be carefully guarded in a
steel case during the journey.
Travel Wardrobe.
While little is known concerning
the Queens travel wardrobe, reports
indicate that there will be a marked
difference between her Canadian at
tire and that which she will wear
while in the United States. The diff
ference, it is said. lies in the fact
that Canadians want Queen Eliza
beth to look every inch a queen. :"
whereas during their American visit.
the King and Queen will be looked
upon as travelling rulers of friend
ly state rather than as making a
state visit.
The Queen has decided to give I'D
her mourning attire, according to
these reports, even though the first
anniversary of her mothers death
does not occur until after her re-
turn to England from the United
States.
Latest forecasts Of the general
character of the Quenes' travel
wardrobe indicate that the colors
of the so dresses it is said she will
bring will include black and white.
plain white. several shades of blue
and pastel hues. Her daytime wear
will be featured by snuglv-fit
waist lines. f1ared and shorter skirts.
Natural flower patterns will figure in
the Queens summer wear. These
reports also predict that her hats.
though fat, will be built up with
artificial flowers to give the effect
Of height.
