Symphony Gifts
OF u. :. Workers
Held Disappointing
A. E. Giegeneoek Urges
Them to Contribute
In Radio Appeal

Disappointment with the response
of Government workers to the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra sus-
tanning fund campaign was ex-
pressed yesterday by A. E. Giegen-
gack, public printer and chairman
of the campaigns Government Com
mittee, in a talk on the N. B. c.
Star Dollar Club program broadcast
by Station WRC.
Frankly, I am not satisfied with
our-meaning my fellow Govern
ment workers-response to the SYM
phony's appeal for funds" Mr.
Gigengack stated. 1T is true that
our committee has raised more now
than we had at the same time last
year, but the campaign is more than
half over and we have almost two
third of our quota yet to raise"
Declaring that this endangered
the future of the symphony, Mr.
Giegengack added: mo one in
Washington can honestly say thai
this danger doesn't concern him
least of all the Government worker
Answers to Problem.
Coming from all parts of the coun-
try. Government workers are often
without personal ties of any kind
to the city, he said, with the con-
sequence that the problem of leisure
time is of greater importance to
them than to those securely
anchored in setting of family and
friends"
He said the National Symphony
Orchestra provides a very real'
answer to this problem, IAN answer
that fits the average budget"
Mr.. Giegengack declared that the
low cost of admission to all the
Symphony'S performances was
musical philanthropy" adding: eve
must see that it continues"
Urges Greater Effort.
Chairman Earl A. Nash of the
campaigns Business and Profess
sional Committee also exhorted peo-
pie covered by his group to greater
efforts on behalf Of the sustaining
fund drive.
Mr.. Nash pointed out that latest
reports showed that the business
and professional workers had been
able to obtain pledges totaling only
1467 per cent of their quota ot
$4,000,
Mindful that the drive ends
Thursday, volunteer workers mean
while were canvassing the city for
new pledges to add TO the total of
s3996629 already promised. The
results of their efforts will be made
public at the third report lunch
con, scheduled for 1890 pm. to-
morrow at the Carlton Hotel.
To be known as musical re-
sources day" the meeting will
bring together a group of outstand-
ing personalities in the music field
Invitations have been sent to
such celebrities as John Erskine
author and head of the National
Committee for Music Appreciation;
Archibald MacLeish, librarian of
Congress; Mrs. Vincent H. Ober,
president of the National Fedora
ton Of Music Clubs; La Sale Spier,
noted Washington composer; Mrs
Eugent Byrnes, president of the
Friday Morning Music Club. and
Louis Potter, president of the WASH

Final Concert
In Brahms
Series Given
Playing of Artists
In Several Works
Draws Praise
Nv ALICE EVERSMAN.

The series OF concerts QeVoleQ eH-
clusively to the chamber music OF
Brahms which has been in prog
ress at the Library of Congress for
the last two weeks was completed
yesterday afternoon. The programs,
which were given by the Pro Arte
String Quartet, with assisting artists,
drew large crowds, of which yester-
days audience was one.
Presentation of the entire litera-
ture of Brahms chamber music was
arranged so as to stress his variety
as well as his periods Of develop
ment. Many of his compositions
for various combinations of instru-
ments were heard that are seldom
programmed by regular ensemble
groups.
Among these was the first number
of yesterdays program, the Trio in
E Flat Major, Op. 40" for horn, violin
and piano, played by Laurent Hal
leux, violin; Wendell Hoss, horn,
and Gunnar Johansen, piano. Mr..
HalleuX. second violinist of the Pro
Arte String Quartet. was heard also
in the Quartet in G Minor, Op. 25"
for violin, viola, cello and piano, the
other artists being Germain Provost,
violist. and C.. Warwick Evans, Gel
list of the Pro Arte group, and Mr.
Johansen, pianist. Mr.. Evans and
Mr.. Johansen also played the so
nata in F Major, Op. %" for piano
and cello
Horn Trio One of His Finest.
The horn trio is one of the finest
OF Brahms works, and in combin-
ing it with the piano he departed
from the customary use Of this in
strument in ensemble playing. The
affection which Brahms had for
the horn dated from his earliest
days, and in the trio he has given
voice to some of his most beau
tiful ideas.
The artists caught the spirit of
each movement, playing the lovely
Adagio with poetic feeling and the
charming Finale with appropriate
fire
The enthusiasm which Mr.. Jo-
hansen brought to his presenta-
ton in the trio. as in the other
works, tended to an overshadow-
ing Of the other instruments by the
sorority of his tone.
G Minor Quartet Well Done.
In the Sonata" the same defect
was to be noticed. for the piano
considerably overbalanced the cello
in volume. The style of Mr.. Evans
playing is refined and graceful. and
he did not draw enough depth or
resonance from his instrument to
dominate in the ensemble when it
was necessary. The atmosphere
Of stormy passion and of suffering
which is the keynote of this work
was we'll emphasized in general, yet
the interplay of the two instru-
ments was not sufficiently brought
out.
The &c Minor Quartet" formed a
fitting conclusion, not only for this
particular program, but for the fes-
tival as we'll 1t is the more ia
miliar of Brahms three piano
quartets and is full of vitality, grace
and beauty of theme.
The four artists were at their
best. and the demonstration at the
conclusion of the performance
showed the audiences reaction to
their mspirational Interpretation.

They had learned to feel that he

general satisfaction expressed when
in time, he did succeed his father.
After fifteen years the local folk
call him Harper, affectionately,
and permit no serious obstruction
to get in his way.
For a period of several years
during the early part of the
nationwide depression he was
forced to run his school on finan-
cial e-string''-often times not
able to guarantee his teachers the
bare necessities of life. However
they stayed, taught effectively and
smiled at their inconvenience. I
asked friend on the faculty the
reason for this and he replied
without hesitation" Harper is
Just fine fellow"
GREATEST HOBBY

citation. He got behind ii, worked

officer active in the affairs Of the

focus attention on it because it is
one of the best organized and most
effective organizations of its kind
in the country.
In the summer of 1889 I was at

the American Teachers Association
