however. was disclosed in all its
magnitude in the Wagner excerpt.
The dignity. the warmth and the
exaltation which she brought into
her singing and the gloriously ex-
panding quality of her tones, always
without nearing the border of her
power, so truly pictured the goddess
and her supreme sacrifice as to be
overwhelming in grandeur With
out striving for histrionic effect she
registered the intense drama of the
scene naturally yet with great poig-
nancy.
The orchestra, which had sup
ported her in every minute detail
continued on to the conclusion of
the scene. playing the magnificent
finale with rich sentiment and
sonorous tone. The effect was STIR

leave, applauded wildly. while Miss
Lawrence and DR.. Kinder came out
again and again and the orchestra
men rose to their feet repeatedly to

Climax to Concert
By ALICE EVERSMAN.

Marjorie LaWrence'S splendid sing
ing of "Bruennhildes Immolation, -
from "Goetterdaemmerung," was a
magnificent climax to the concert
given by the National Symphony
Orchestra yesterday afternoon at
Constitution Hall. The soloist Of
the program, Miss Lawrence also
sang the recitative and aria from
GluckS "Iphigenia in Tauris' and,
as encore to it, the when I Am Laid
in Earth" aria, from Purcell's Dido
and Aeneas." It was triumph for
the Australian soprano, now of the
Metropolitan Opera. and her many
recalls proved how much the audi
ence liked her.
The orchestral program which DR..
Kindler had chosen created proper
atmosphere around the two solo
numbers. The lovely Gluck- Motif
Suite" preceded the Gluck aria and
was mastery presentation. The
fine tone of the orchestra and the
varied shadings which resulted from
DR.. Kindler's analysis of the work
added to its nobility.
Quite in keeping with the classic
line of the opening number was
the Arensky Variations on Theme
by Tschaikowsky," the theme being
taken from his song Events in the
Garden of the Infant Christ" Ar
ranged for strings, it is charming
in the many developments which
Arensky has devised, all of which
are related in style to the character
of the initial theme.
Even Debussy's Clouds the first
of the two nocturnes played, did not
disturb the mood. Its exquisite mu-
sical photography of passing clouds
and the coloring in the sky was
delicately re-created by the orches-
ira with great hnesse. But at the
conclusion of the second nocturne,
Festivals" there was such pro-
longed applause that an encore
seemed Imminent. Gorgeous in its
abandon, its pronounced rhythm
and its sorority, it caught the fancy
of the audience, which showered
the conductor and the members of
the orchestra with applause to which
they had to respond four or five
times.
Program Stimulating.
The entire program was a stimu-
lating and an uplifting one. The
lovely music from the classic and
modern composers was restful and
conducive to a special responsive
ness, to deeper and finer apprecia-
ton, as it were. In this way it pre-
pared the listeners for Wagner's
great music, the long scene of
"Bruennhilda's Immolation," with
its orchestral climax, which took
up the greater part of the program
after the intermission.
Miss Lawrence had already ap-
peared, singing the Gluck aria with
tremendous effect. Her voice is DOW
erful, with great, ringing top notes,
and of beautiful quality. She handles
it with artistry, never forcing its
volume nor striving for special en-
phasis, and the character of her
musicianship was evidenced by her
sincere and stately presentation of
the Gluck and Purcell arias.
The full beauty of her voice and
the range of her artistic ability,

Times of grave crisis, history
teaches. are ideal intervals for level
heads. In this particular crisis, this
department goes on record as full
of determination to remain neutral.
1t promises to do nothing about
finding formula by which the issue
might be composed. It promises to
watch developments with a close
ness that approaches downright in
timacy with both sides to the mag
nificent issue. 1t does not promise
that it may not experience pro-
tracted pangs of amusement.
AS palliative for the approach
ing apoplexy Of the multitude lined
up against Mr.. Selznick, it might be
suggested that maybe his mind is
not closed on the subject. He sought
to close it once before when Norma
Shearer was chosen for the part.
Shearer fans by the millions stuck
their foot in the door and every one
knows what happened. The parade
of Scarletts started all over again,
taking year to pass the explosion
point represented by Miss Leigh.
Until the picture starts shooting
appropriate word there remains q
chance that Mr.. Selznick's mind can
be opened again.
Should he decide to defy the fu-
rious fans, he could find some sound
justifications for his position. After
all, he might reason, who was Scar
lett O'Hara beyond being the most
inflammatory flctional character in
current (almost) literature? Why
should any one object to her screen
portrait being created by any COM
petent actress? Especially when no
objection has been made to the in
depreciation of the truly great men
and women of American history?
What, indeed, is so sacred about the
woman to whom very little was sa-
cred? (That question, Mr.. Selznick,
may be one that answers itself.
Maybe it should not be asked, ac-
cordingly)
1t is a time, we say, for level heads.
They are the kind which seldom get
Dashed. They also are the kind
which are most likely to remember
that the whole thing started as a
publicity stunt, most amusing
thing to remember.

Is not old as human being, just as

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


An exchange tells of an editor
preparing for a sudden and per-
manent disappearance to an un-
named destination, who fulfilled
a hitherto frustrated desire to
write up a wedding concerning
the truth, the whole truth and
nothing bit the truth was told.
It was d surprised list of sub
scribers who read the following
report Of the wedding Of two well
known people III a certain little
community:
Jim Gateway and Miss Georg-
ianna Bentlow were married Mon
day at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Bent
low, the Rev. M. beckett officiat-
ing.
The groom is popular young
bum who hasn't done a lick of
work since he got expelled in his
junior year at college. He man
ages to dress well and keeps a
supply of spending money be-
cause his dad is a soft-hearted
lold fool who takes UP his scala
wag sons bad cheques instead OF
] letting him 60 to Jail where he
belongs.
soThe bride is a skinny, fast lit
| tie idiot. who has been run after
I by every boy in town since she
was twelve years old. She paints
like a Sioux Indian, sucks cigar
cites, and drinks mean corn
/ liquor when she is out joy-riding
! in her dads car at night. She
doesn't know how to cook, sew
or: keep house.
THE house was newly plaster
ed for the wedding and the ex-
/ terror newly painted, thus carry.
ing out the decorative scheme fo1
the groom was newly plastereo
and the. bride newly painted.
THE groom wore a rented din
