Younq Pianist Credits Success
To Fairy Godmother'
Mariana Sorricu, l9,
Will Appear Tonight
With Grace Moore

The story of 19-year-old Mariana
Sarrica's rise as pianist reads like
a fairy tale. In fact, she even has
a fairy godmother.
Here to appear with Grace Moore
tonight in Constitution Hall, Miss
Sarrica last night laid the credit for
most of her training as concert
pianist at the door of Mrs. Jessie
Donahue. Woolworth heiress.
She explained that the heiress
first met her at a recital in New
York when Miss Sarrica was 10
years old. Two years later, Mrs.
Donahue sent her to the Royal
Conservatory of Music in Brussels,
Belgium, where she won a scholar
ship and was the youngest American
ever to graduate from that institu-
ton. In 1884 she was presented
with a gold medal by the late King
Albert of Belgium for her excel
lence on the piano.
Mrs. Donahue has done every
thing for me-" she declared. "and
I'm going to do my best to justify
her faith"
II always wanted to be con
certist,'" Miss Sarrica recalled, and
when I was about 8, I asked my
father for piano lessons"
She said when her first teacher
died, and there was q short period
when she had no instruction, she
used 10 drum on the tableswith her
fingers to keep in practice.
Explaining that she's not in

Business Urged 10 Seek
Wage Hour Act Repeal

BY the Associated Press.
The United States Chamber OF
Commerce urged businessmen to
vigorous action" for repeal OF the
wage-hour law yesterday, asserting
that "few legislative enactments
have produced greater confusion"
The chambers view was expressed
in a report by the Committee on
Manufacture, headed by B. c. Hes-
cock of Peoria, ILL.,
Noting that more than 40 propos-
ais for amending the law were pend
ing in Congress, the committee said
it believed that the problems created
by the act could not be solved "by
any means short of outright repeal
of the act itself"
The report said there was little in
dication that the act had done any
thing to eliminate cut-throat COM
petition.
