Famous Russian
Male Chorus
On Annual Visit

The Don CoSsack Russian Male
Chorus-"the singing horsemen of
the steppes made their first
concert appearance in Washington
in 1880, the year Constitution Hall
opened its doors, and who have ap-
peared here each year since then
under the leadership of Serge Jaroff.
comes to Constitution Hall this aft
ernoon at o'clock under the man.
agement of Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey,
who has sponsored every appearance
of the Cossacks in Washington since
1898.
Consisting of some three dozen
former Cossack officers of the Rus
sian Imperial Army, the Don Cossack
Chorus was organized by its leader,
Jaroff, in q Turkish prison camp in
1920, following the defeat of Gen.
Wrangels White Russian Army, of
which the original Cossacks were a
part. Since then they have made
more than a dozen tours of the
United States alone and have sung
nearly 5000 concerts in various parts
of the world.
This years program, though con-
tanning number of compositions
new to the Cossack repertoire, will
follow the traditional Cossack pat
tern of devoting the first part to
Russian church liturgies, the second
part to Russian folk tunes and the
third and final portion to CosSack
soldier songs and dances. 1t is in
their soldier songs that the Cossacks
attain their most electrifying effects.

Review of Recordings

one many conductors are unable
to attain.
Several recordings of Sibelius'
Symphony No. 5" have come from
the various phonograph companies
and that of the Cleveland Orches-
ira, Artur Rodinski, conductor, is
the latest from Columbia. In many
instances, particularly where VOL
ume is needed, Mr.. Rodinski has
done a good job but on the whole
he misses that indescribable some
thing that makes Sibelius unique in
his line. Finesse and poetry are
not strong points of the Cleveland
Orchestra and they are noticeably
missing in this recording.
Columbia has for single records
a series of Strauss marches includ-
ing Egyptian March," Persian
March," Indigo March" and the
Gypsy Baron March, all on 10
inch discs, played by the Boston
Pops Orchestra, Arthur Fielder
conducting. On the 12-inch disc
is also a recording of Strauss
Emperor Waltz" by the Philhar-
monic Symphony Orchestra of New
York, Bruno Walter conducting.
Evening star., 1942-11-01
By Alice EucySman.

Columbia has continued its re-
leases through the last months al
though the number has been con-
siderably reduced in size. Among its
latest albums are two especially that
should be best sellers. Edward
Kilenyi's performance of Chopin S
Concerto No. /" with the assistance
of the Minneapolis Symphony Or
chestra under Dmitri Mitropoulos
leads the list closely followed by
Barbirolli's Interpretation of Tschai-
kowskys Theme and Variations
from Suite No. 8 in G" played by
the New York Philharmonic SYM
phony Orchestra.
Mr.. Kilenyi, who halls from Phil
adelphia, is intrenching himself
more and more in artistic ranks
and his brilliant playing of the first
and last movements of the concerto
proves his right to such distinction.
The second movement is not so we'll
portrayed for technical fireworks
and temperamental feeling are Mr..
Kilenyi's forte more than romantic
expression.
Conductor Barbirolli has grasped
to the fullest the real Russian flavor
of the popular portion of Tschai-
kowsky's suite and, while the per-
formance has fire and abandon, it
does not lack in delicacy of delivery
as we'll. In fact, the right restraint
on Russian boisterousness is the
great charm of this recording and

civilian life many of them bringing
masters and bachelor degrees from
outstanding universities. In many
cases officer rank has been sacrificed
so that the men may study at the
school. The instructors are pro-
fessional musicians, graduates of
prominent music schools and experts
on their instruments. The officer
in charge, Ensign Thurmond, is a
graduate of Curtis Institute where
he won a scholarship and was for

than 13 great composers. The range

lude and Fugue in c Minor" and

nade) to the sparkling Polka" CThe
Golden Age) by the brilliant Rus
sian contemporary, Shostakovitch
The good neighbor is represented
also with piece by Brazirs Villa
Lobos, identified as "Polichinelle
The arrangements for the entire
program is the work of the quar-
tet itself as virtually no music has
been written for the four-piano
combination.
The technique Of making the ar
rangements is explained by Henry
Holt, a member of the quartet, in
these words: mo single one of us
does the arranging. Once we decide
upon a particular selection each of
us makes four-piano arrangement.
Then we play and discuss them and
usually end by combining the best
parts of all four" The other quar-
tet members, Adam Garner, Vladi-
mir Padwa and George Robert, nod
their approval and add "We have
no conductor, nor have we ever had
one. We just know each other
so we'll that it's now almost impos-
sible for use to get out of time.
We've often experimental by play
ing in four separate rooms, hearing
but not seeing each other, and even
then we seldom miss"
The First Piano Quartet, as it's
name implies. is the first such unit
and it Is believed to be the only
piano quartet in the world. The
quartet made its debut as a radio
feature in 1910.

National Symphony
Presents Victory
Program Wednesday

On wednesday the National SYM
phony will give . special preseason
victory program with entire pro-
ceeds to the Washington Community
War Fund. Gladys Swarthout will
be the soloist for this occasion, and
DR.. Hans Kinder will conduct. The
orchestra Is also giving its second
concert in four months at Fort
George G. Meade, Nd, on Friday.
Miss Swarthout, who is donating
her services at the victory program,
is the only woman to have sung for
the entire assembled Congress of the
United States, the diplomatic corps,
Supreme Court and the President.
This occurred in the Senate at the
150th anniversary exercises cele-
brating the founding Of Congress.
Miss Swarthout's appearance with
the orchestra Wednesday should not
be confused with her subsequent
appearance In recital under Mrs.
Dorsey's management at Constitu-
ton Hall on Sunday, February 81,
at 4 o'clock.
Announcement that the first re-
hearsal of the National Symphony's
18th season was called by Conductor
DR.. Hans Kinder for last Thursday
morning at Constitution Hall does
not reveal the dramatic story in
volved.
For years right here in WASH
1ngton young graduates from Amer
ican conservatories of music were
accepted In the National Symphony
Orchestra by DR.. Kinder until the
Nations Capital could boast of a
nearly all-youth orchestra long be-
fore those much-vaunted organiza-
tions officially sprang into being.
On tour, the National Symphony
became famous for its youthful vi
tality and its exuberant freshness.
Quite recently, however, came the
acid test. Due to his youthful per-
sonnel, DR.. Kinder lost over ~ of
his youngest and best men to the
armed forces within year. Disaster
seemed to face the orchestra. The
efforts of II years seemed doomed.
Without hesitation, DR.. Kinder
made up his mind to scour the
country. He went to Philadelphia,
New York, Toronto, Chicago, st.
Louis and as far West as Los An
geles, returning by San Francisco to
Chicago. Just over week ago he
arrived back in Washington from
this months trip. He came back to
announce that he had found every
necessary man for the missing
players, only to be told that during
his absence four more players had
gone to the wars. So he started out
again.
At the first rehearsal last Thurs
day, 80 men of the National SYM
phony Orchestra were in their places
at $50 am. Five of the 80 men"
were women. The assistant concert
master was young woman, Mar
guerite Kuehne, newcomer this sea-
son. Sylvia Meyer, harpist; Louise
Ehrman, cellist; Kay Rickert, violin
ist, and Nathalie Hollern, oboe play
er, doubling in the English horn,
have all been with the orchestra in
previous seasons.

Gouernment Posters
At Public Library.

Only few days remain to see
the posters on view at the Public
Library. main building, which were
designed and executed by artists
employed by the War Services Pro-
gram, WPA. This recently created
program combines the former art
projects as graphic service projects
of the WPA under one grouping for
efficient cooperation with agencies
engaged in carrying on the war and
allied activities. Forty of the States
have graphic service units devot-
ing all their time to making war
and patriotic posters, as well as
models, maps, charts and diagrams
for use in defense and military train
ing. Many of the States, including
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and Illinois, are producing more
than 100000 posters monthly. They
range in size from car cards to a.
sheet billboards such as that of
Gen. Macarthur for the Phila-
delphia Office of Civilian Defense, by
the Pennsylvania Art Unit. Ten
designers are represented in the
Library exhibition; three groups
from Michigan, and others from
California, Alabama and New York
City
These posters cover a wide range
of subject matter; they appeal for
volunteers in civilian defense, give
AFRAID instructions, recreation
services for men in the armed forces,

Spaulding reported that they were
very effective.
The posters are produced by the
silk screen method, now widely used
by artists. One of it's advantages is
that it requires a minimum outlay
for equipment and material.

Narratives of Pious Children" :"
which is opened at the story of
William Quayle, lad who seemed
to have the fear of God from his
infancy" When children distin-
guished themselves in some fashion,
they received rewards of merit"
examples of which on display, are
about the size and shape of bank
checks and much less impressive.
Birth certificates and pages from
family records, on the other hand,
were very ornate-true examples of
folk art.
Toy furniture, of which numerous
items are shown, is particularly in
teresting today because it reflects
groWn-up styles. A doll cart, for
instance, aEout 1858. marks the
change from the two wheeled chaise
to the three wheeled cart. Several
doll beds and chests of drawers are
covetable antiques, the former strung
with cord and outfitted with linen
sheets and pillow slips and minia-
tu1e tufted coverlets; the latter are
equipped with lustre wash bowls and
pitchers. Many other quaint OBJ
Jects are to be seen in this display,
which will convince the visitor that
children did not fare so badly in the
old days, even though they had
more chores to perform, suffered
more illness and grew up under the
discipline of the rod instead of under
modern psychology The exhibi-
ton will remain at the OAR
Museum until February, 1943.
