matter at his command, yet his
sparse themes have a potency that
is gripping in unique manner.
The Quintet, Op. ST. composed
last year, consists of five movements,
the first OF which is a prelude and
the other four alternating between
melancholy and riotous gaiety. 1t
might almost be divided into two
moods. one OF which is nostalgia
in character as if yearning for past
beauty, and the other a flinging of
OF all troubled thought for a down
to-earth peasantlike enjoyment. 1t
rarely scars, but hovers around one
point with an infinity Of variations.
The suave balance Of melody against
melody that is Schumann's forte Is
absent, yet the genuineness and
forcefulness Of the writing is present
powerfully In every measure.
The effects which Shostakovich
achieves is in q mastery handline
of the instruments, as in the lonely
duet between the two violins in the
second movement, later Joined by
the cello; the equally haunting song
Of the violin in the fourth move
ment, to which is added the voice
of the other violin and the viola.
and the brilliant and striking writ
ing for the piano in the scherzo.
There are few climaxes and the end
ing is a nonchalant and charming
f1nis to The emotional revelations
of the other movements. 1t is
modern music with backward
glance, strongly written and tersely
stated without any of the uplifted
sentiment of Schumann or his
reveling in beauty of sound.
The Tanglewood Quartet and Mr..
Sanroma form as superb a COM
bination as could be wished for.
They think and feel alike in all
musical matters but Mr.. Sanroma
adds the spark of brilliancy by his
exceptional pianistic powers. He
has snap and drive to his tone
that gave fire and elan to the
scherzos of both opuses and a crisp
delivery that sparkles in all passage
work. Yet in ensemble he is one
of group submitting the piano to
the requirements Of the others and
rounding out their musical inten-
tions.
The artists Of the quartet, ROLAND
Tapley and Malcolm Holmes, vio-
lins; George Humphrey, viola. and
Karl Zeise, cellist, are well matched
as to tone quality and musicianship.
Their playing has imagination and
style and their sincerity makes
them strive for a special uniformity

July is and touched of at least nVe
days of terror during which many

reprinted in the newspaper Berner

In all, $1,000 were arrested and
sent to concentration camps as pre-
viously reported in brief dispatches:

Taswacht with the editorial COM
ment that I'VE cannot keep silent"
The writer OF the letter said that,
although the arrests were begun
July Is, they still were continuing
on the date of the writing, July Il,
with Jews being picked up on the
streets.
I'VE passed many terrible hours"
the writer said, citing several In
stances Of women who jumped out
Of windows with their children
rather than submit to arrest.
Women were interned in the Paris
Hippodrome, while girls and women
without children were taken to
Drancy to await final determination
of their cases. Some deaths were
reported among those arrested, along
with many cases Of scarlet fever and
measles.
Tho Hippodrome was filled with
20 many people that there was room
for them to sleep only in a sitting
position.
The writer Of the letter said that
many Parisians extended sympathy
to the Jews, warning them not TO

cellars and vacant apartments were
given Jews so that they could escape
the Gestapo. Children left behind
were quickly adopted.
There were a few cases of apart
ments left behind by Jews being
plundered. the writer said, but ne
added that these were few.
Up to the time of writing no d.
rect word had been received from
the arrested Jews, the writer said
It has been reported that Jews flrst

eellmate of John Eugene Eklund
and a Government witness at Elk

to from two to siy years on his plea
of guilty to six charges OF house
breaking and larceny.
Justice James w. Morris, who pre-

1t Is rather a coincidence that
almost = century separated the
birth dates of Schumann and Shos-
takovich and the first public per-
formance of the quintets pro-
grammed yesterday. That space OF
time and all that happened between
in musical composition is bridged,
in a way, for the two composers
meet on a common plane of genius.
Schumann's is an expression OF his
own serene nature and the uncom-
pncated way Of life of his era. while
In the same way Shostakovich re-
fleets his environment and the way
Of thinking of the present day.
The exquisite quintet in E Flat
Major, Op. A" Of Schumann scars
continuously even with the somber
tinee the second movement gives.
Its happiness. vitality and melodic
beauty are interviewer with the
matchless skill Of a craftsman whose

 Gomez and Moore battled to a draw in a thrilling exhibition of body punching here two weeks ago, with neither fighter having enough edge to speak of at the finish. It was all Gomez in the early rounds but Moore came back with enough booming left hooks in the middle Stanzas to even things up.
 Both Moore and Gomez take and deliver a good punch and in their first meeting absorbed haymakerS that would have f1attened many scrappers. Long sessions in the gym for the past 10 days should find both boys better Friday night.
