side. Victor Herbert got him his
first job in New York, at the old
Century Theater, where George
Gershwin was rehearsal pianist. DR..
Black thinks no professional mu-
sician gets more fun from music
than Physicist A. Einstein, who likes
to fiddle in informal groups at the
homes OF famous violinists. Ac4
cording to DR.. Black:
Hes not too good. but he gets a
great kick, and so should any anna

With DR.. Black on tonight's con-

Dr.. Black Arrives by Plane
To Conduct National Symphony
Seating Of Audience
Is Controversy
At Present, He Says

Frank Black, q movie.ho mu-
sician Of silent days who has risen
to be musical director OF the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co.. new into
Washington from New York yes
terday. fresh from an exhilarating
chamber music jam session" with
Albert Einstein. DR.. Black will di-
rect the Sunset Symphony at S
o'clock tonight at the Water Gate.
There hasn't been much news
from the world of music, the con-
ductor announced to reporters, since
definite settlement of the historic
debate over whether the saxophone
Is a musical instrument.
"The sax is," he said, richly
musical This horn is no longer
an illegitimate instrument"
Hot discussion among America S
leading maestros now revolves about
two other problems, he revealed.
The first worry Is: How should
q symphony audience be seated?
Some conductors hold that when
comfortable chairs are provided the
crowds Of music lovers snooze. On
the other handt there is opinion
that uncomfortable chairs cut down
gate receipts. DR.. Black apparently
holds with both.
At his New York broadcasting
studios he provides disagreeable
aluminium chairs of folding con-
struction type. he reported. But
he himself likes to sink into some
thing soft.
The easiest seats In the world, by
the way, are found in airplanes, he
feels. One time an airline COM
pany, knowing his enthusiasm, sent
a publicity man and photographer
down to the airport to get an en-
dorsement. They picked the wrong
day, though.
DR.. Black stepped out of his plane
with wound, a bandage and an ice
bag ranged in layers upon his head
he had forgotten to fasten his
safety belt on "bumpy" day.

The other worry is whether to play
music by German composers, DR..
Black declared. He said one of the

era is terrified lest no Wagner will
be sung a year from now.
= German music on the air waves
has indeed dropped noticeably in
audience demand, Mr.. Black COM

and other great Germans will hold
their own. Modern German music
is no worry, because nothing out

Everything in it will be minia-

International concessions like
wise will be pared down. Japan,
for instance, is planning a miniature
sunken garden, with dwarf plants.
A troupe of midgets has been sug-

The theme of smallness is car
ried down to the fair headquarters,
which have been set up in a one
room storefront formerly used as
the main street of this little fish
and cranberry center.
Began as a Gag.
All this should make excellent
