BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The Victor Co. comes forward this
month with several interesting re-
cordings, some of them works you
have not had an opportunity to hear
often. all of them outstanding from
the point of performance Among
these are the Brahms Sonata in
E Minor, OPP. 38" for cello and
piano, played by Gregor Piatigorsky
and Arthur Rubinstein: Schubert S
Symphony No in C Minor" other
wise known as the Tragic" SYM
phony. here recorded by the Phil
harmonic Orchestra of New York,
directed by John Barbirolle a per-
Torrance of Mozart's Sonata in F.
Major" and on the last disc Flip
LaZar's "Marche Funebre," by Jose
Iturbi and Ernest Bloch's Con-
certo Crosse for String Orchestra
and Piano Obbligato" and Sibelius'
"Canzonetta for String Orchestra,
OPP. 62A,' with Louis Bailly direct
ing the Curtis Chamber Music En-
semble.
OF these our choice falls on the
Brahms sonata for sheer beauty of
treatment. Piatigorskys exquisitely
velvet tone and his superb interpre-
tive powers draw out every bit of the
marvels of this notable work of the
cello literature. Rubinstein matches
the famous cellist in his handling
of the piano, never intruding too
much but supplementing every effect
the darker-t toned instrument at
tains Only in the third movement
does he somewhat emulate the COM
poser when he played it for the
first time with the cellist, Gaens-
bacher. who complained that
Brahms played so loudly he could
not hear himself, bringing forth the
famous answer, you're lucky"
The lovely, soulful beginning is
given with a caressing tonal quail
ity especially marked in the cello,
and the underlying tenderness in
approach is sustained also through
the second movement. Considered
one of the greater sonatas in the
limited cello repertoire of ensemble
music. its chief demands are not
technical but rather tonal and in
terpretive The final movement,
which was added three years after
the first were completed, is ex-
tremely brilliant, in fugue form,
wherein authorities have found a
resemblance to "Contrapunctus
Thirteen" from Bach's Art of the
Fugue."
Schubert's Tragic" symphony was
written about the same time as his
Fifth, but the impelling inspiration
and the style are entirely different
Here he is the composer who glories
in his strength and feels the rush
of his ideas. He himself named it

Freund Frolics

Credit Chorus and the United States
Department of Agriculture Chorus
and will devote his time in the flu

meet the needs of the community
for an organization between the am
ateur and the professional classes

encourage talented individuals to
develop their talents and to secure
opportunities for them and some
remuneration for their efforts.
Mr.. Freund returned to Wash
ington, the place of his birth, from
Palm Beach, Fla, in 1888, and i'm
mediately organized the Gypsy
Chorus, which has become famous
for its colorful performances This
chorus has appeared a number of
times in local theaters, hotels and
night clubs. In 1884 Mr.. Freund or
gained the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture Chorus and be-
came its first director. This chorus
has gained an enviable reputation
for its highly professional presenta-
tons, which include The Seven
Last Words of Christ, " 1.-THE Stephen
Foster Program" "A Gay Nineties
Picnic and "A Nightmare After the
Opera" The last two performances
were original creations of Mr.. Freund
and became popular throughout the
city.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 8.-The Citi-
zens' League joined city officials to-
day in accusing the State of Sinking
its responsibility in meeting the
Cleveland relief crisis.
A league report said the State had
failed to cooperate with the city
and Federal governments in han
ding the problem.
The groups action came after Gin
cinnati's City Council called upon
Gov. John w. Bricker to "see to 1t
that the State of Ohio lives up to
its moral obligation to match neces-
sary local relief money $780,"
Pointing out Ohio had paid "only
an average of 80 per cent this year, "
the Council declared in a resolution
that unless the State "lives up to
its obligation" a relief shortage Of
mot less than $400,0 900" would de-
velop in Cincinnati in 1910.
Thus far Cincinnati has been COM
paratively free Of the relief woes of
Cleveland, Toledo ana some other
Ohio cities.
The leagues report stressed the
need for "a single and direct stand
ard of eligibility for relief"
THE w. P. A. rolls have had
thousands of employables who did
not urgently need relief" the report
stated, "and thus prevented thou
sands on direct city relief rolls from
being transferred to w. P. A."
Morris J. Schwartz, county w. p.
A. employment supervisor, admitted
that non-relief cases were among
those being assigned to the 5000
new w. P. A. jobs here.
"The present State administration
is striving for a balanced budget,
which is highly commendable," the
report states. But the relief of
those who are cold, hungry and
shelterless is far more commenda-
ble"
