Three Changes Asked
In Liquor Regulations
By Association
Rhode Island Avenue
Citizens Urge Ban on
Telephone Orders

The Rhode Island Avenue Citi-
zen's Association last night advo-
Gated that liquor sales in stores
selling such commodities as drugs
and groceries be prohibited along
with the ordering of alcoholic bev-
erages over the telephone, and re-
quested that liquor stores at present
within the 600-foot radius of public
| institutions be denied license re-
newalS upon expiration of their pres
ent permits. Henry Spitsbergen,
acting chairman of the Legislative
Committee, offered the proposals.
c. R. Whyte, District engineer of
bridges, spoke describing specifica-
tions of the proposed bridge SPAN
ming the B. & o. and Pennsylvania
railroad tracks to connect Ninth
street with New York avenue NE.
Mr.. Whyte said the structure, con-
struction of which is scheduled to
start early next month, will be
approximately 1000 feet long, sup
ported by seven spans, with a curb
to-curb width of Al feet and pc
destrian walks on either side. Plans
for the bridge also call for two one
way ramps joining New York ave-
nue. and continuation over that
thoroughfare to connect with Mount
Olivet road in Brentwood Park.
Alfred D. Calvert, president of the
Lincoln Park Citizens Association,
who was present last night, voiced
his objection to the location of the
bridge. since necessary extension of
roadways through Brentwood Park
would mar the natural beauty of
one of the two natural parks in
East Washington"
John L. Fowler was elected presi-
dent of the Rhode Island avenue
group, succeeding Henry J. Clay, who
ended his second term last night.
w. L. Howenstein was chosen first
vice president, Mrs. Adaline Heath,
second vice president; Wallace E.
Perry again was chosen secretary;
Charles F. Greene, financial secre-
tary: Mrs. Matte A. Williams, as
sistant secretary; j. A. Duerksen

of Tschaikowsky's symphony No.
in C Minor" the program featured
his compositions which represented
pronounced stages of his develop
ment in the creative line.
Slight and alert, Mr.. Stravinsky
wore a serious mien as he appeared
on the podium but as the program
progressed it gave way to a happier
mood as the success of his appear
ance was apparent. He applauded
the orchestra, which was energetic
ally applauding him, and insisted
that it take its share of the honors
of the evening. BY the time the
concert was finished the enthuSi-
astic reception given him showed
how he had won his listeners to
his very special art.
Yet there was little analogy be-
tween the man who could write
such original, colorful and charm
ing works as "Scherzo Fantastique, ;"
"Jeu de CarteS" and "L'Oiseau de
Feu' and the man who beat time
with such unflagging regularity
Mr.. Stravinsky's baton moved with
the ineXorable rhythm of a metro
nome, never faltering and never a
fraction behind in whatever tempo
was necessary. The precision of
his directing was like an essay on
rhythm with its revelation of form
and effect through eXactness of
beat. There was no wasted effort
and no display, and except for a
movement of the shoulders when
an entrance was on the off beat and
an accentuation of the rhythm by
a continuous slight bending of the
knees, it was his right arm that
lorded it over the orchestra with
quick, decisive movements.
1t was in this manner that Mr..
Stravinsky directed the Tschai-
koWsky Symphony. He made no
attempt to get soulful effects from
the violins or to urge the orchestra
as a whole to more dramatic or
poetic utterance. All the climaxes
and Shadings were arrived at by
the dynamicS which could be at
tained exactly within the bound
aries of the rhythm, following, in all
probability, Tschaikowsky's nota-
tions with fidelity.
The result was an extraordinary
clarity of form and a logicalness
that was beauty in itself. At the
same time, the charm of this sec
ond symphony by Stravinsky's great
countryman warrants certain
amount of emotional cooperation on
the part of an interpreter. 1t is far
finer in inspirational content and
construction than his Third SYM
phony played not so long ago by
the National Symphony. There is

a conciSenesS in its form that is
engaging of itself for its workman
ship is smooth and polished. The
simplicity of its basic folk melodies
is preserved while being utilized
with the skill of master musician
for varied effects. The candor of
this symphony is great contrast
to the composers later works in this
style as is also its gay and fluent
character.
The great distance in idea, in Or
cheStral expressiveness and in har-
monization between Tschaikowsky
and Stravinsky was apparent even
in the latter's early work, "Scherzo
Fantastique. 1t reached its heighth
in Il 'Oiseau de Feu" with a lessen
ing of driving inspiration in "Jeu de
Cartes" Mr.. Stravinsky's unusual
feeling for the power of rhythm is
to be found in all three works. The
changes are many and sudden and
coupled with the strange and rich
harmonies of his melodic fabric
form a type of their own.
The Scherzo is full of buoyancy,
expressed with the originality that
presaged the composers overWhelm-
ing success with his later works.
Separated from its choreographic
presentation, "Jeu de Cartes" is less
convincing as an orchestral number
although the fascination of its
rhythm is great with its syncopation
Evening star., 1941-01-09

and touch of more popular appeal.
There is humor in it, although just
what the connection is when the
composer borrows a melody from
The Barber of Seville" to insert
into this work is not clear from one
hearing. It's chief charm lies in its
eXuberance and clevernesS.
Whatever Mr.. Stravinsky may
think to the contrary, it will be his
81 Oiseau de Feu" by which he will
be longest remembered. This lovely,
poetic musical perturbation of the
fairy tale has a spontaneity and a

way. However, they went several
steps further in defying "old man
