Budapest Players
Delight With
The 'Septet'
W0rmly Abblanded
In Concert at
Library of Congress
By ELENA DE SAYN.

After hearing Beethoven's "Septet
In E Flat Maior, Op. 20' presented
at the Library of Congress last
night, 1t is easy to understand why
this work was so enthusiastically
welcomed at its first performance by
Beethovens contemporaries.
It's jolly rhythms, delightful
echerzo and brilliant finale account
for the instantaneous success scored
some 140 years ago. Recall after
recall rewarded the three Budapest
players, Josef Roismann, violin;
Boris Kroyt, viola; Mischa Schnei-
der, cello, and their assistant
artists, Ralph MacLean, clarinet;
Fred Klein, horn; Elias Carmen,
bassoon, and Anton Torello, double
bass, for their splendid performance
given Beethoven's early opus.
Mr.. Roismann added to his tai
ents as a leader those of a sololst
last night, when he was heard in
the effective cadenza, to which he
lent a touch of brilliancy, while Mr..
Schneider gave an inimitable read
ING to the charming variation in
rocco style in the "Tema con Varl-
azioni," altogether too short to sat-
isfy those who would have liked to
hear more of his playing.
Other short soil, given each OF the
seven participating instruments in
turn and forming individual bits OF
display to the accompaniment OF
one or more players, were presented
with care, proper accents and beauty
of tone. Mr.. Torello deserved spe-
cial praise for the ease and mastery
with which he handled the double
bass.
It is hard to conceive why mere
compliment shoWered on Beethoven
in connection with this particular
work should have provoked his ire.
Yet he was heard to say: The
Septet was written by Mozart" add
ing rather equivocal remark:
There is of course feeling in it.
but little art That Beethoven
placed feeling above form is quite
obvious and it is to his rebellion
against existing standards and tastes
that posterity owes greater freedom
of expression.
As an example of progress in this
direction can be cited Schubert's
"Octet in F ajor Op. 1867 for the
same combination of instruments,
with a violin by Alexander Schneider
added and performed after the in
termission The fullness of the en-
semble, reminiscent of an orchestra.
the richness of tone. overshadowing
the comparative shalloWness of
Beethoven's only work in this FORM
were rewarding.
Although long -winded, it would
have seemed a sacrilege to cut out
an iota of the flowing melodies or
to trim down some of the repeti-
tions. and it is to the credit of this
splendid group that compositions on
the program were presented as they
are, with all their good points and
weaknesses.

Beery winches. Fay thrusts pipe
into his mouth, nearly burning his

and daughter now leave the room.
With great relief. Beery puts down
the pipe. He fidgets; picks up
magazine. It's woman's periodical
and he drops it in disgust Glancing
around to make certain the way is
clear, he pulls plug of chewing to-

Suddenly he hears noise. 1t Is

He rushes to flower pot and
then changes his mind. Marilyn

It's stuck-and so is Beery. His
problem is now acute. He starts

Beery closes his eyes, heroically

"No, Ma ami" he says with effort,

HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY. Jan. q

In the horoscope for today are
signs Of great significance, since
they mingle warnings with fair
promises. Great national
strength will be revealed under
portents Of supreme test.
Heart and Home: Health
should be carefully safegusrded
under this CONFORMATION. Much
illness is presaged. Nerve strain
should be avoided as the winter
progresses. Approximations must
be prevented by a positive atti-
tude Of mind which declines to
accept anything disappointing
as actual. except what is hap
pening. The tagion of
thought will be apparent as a
tendency To dwell upon what is
threatening or proving unfor-
tunate increases. II Ia wise to
expect what Is good.
Business Affairs: Trade may
lag slightly. but prosperity will
con tinue for wage-earners.
There is a warning sign for
labor which continues under a
sinister direction of the stars.
Greed and selfish interests may
be prevalent among both en-
ployers and employees. while the
whole nation is daily more inn
perilled by war possibilities sf-
fecting the United States.
National Issues: Discussion OF
changes in educational systems
may be widespread as the vision
OF a changed world causes a
realization of the need of pre-
pairing for novel postwar condi-
tons. Banks and bankers are
to meet strange problems in in
ternationsl finance. The seers
emphasize the Importance of
learning something from the
first world war and its attend
ant money problems.
Persons whose birthdate il is

exciting events in which what
is most unexpected may prove
fortunate.

PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
MUST BE RECONCHED
To ETERNAL DISORDER

Editor. The Times: In a uni
verse where chaos Is ever ex-
istant II behooves rational hui
mans who cherish mental poise
to become reconciled to eternal
disorder. Corresponding to the
universal confusion is the con-
flict of ideas and forces by fell
low humans opposing each other
out of the same unfathomable
urges which cause planets to
clash in the starry heavens and
stars to burst into shimmering
dust. Here, on earth, untold
millions of creatures are disin-
tegrated by various destructive
means and countless humans de-
stroyed by drouth. pestilence
and a brothers hand.
AS light cannot be reconcilled
to darkness nor heat with cold,
so every thought and every mo-
ton in the universe is opposed.
As intelligence resembles light
and love seems akin to heat,
neither can merge, the one, in
telligence, with ignorant, brut-
ish passions. or darkness - the
other, love, with the cold indif-
ference of destructive selfish
ness. Many Christs have en-
deavored TO establish an order
Of love and its pleasing by
principles for the whole state
and themselves were swallowed
up by the armed opposing or
der. Lest our picture be too
gloomy we may observe that
GASES of order intermittently OBJ
tain in aggregations Of matter
and among humans Of humane
qualities.
Had mutual good will, which
is a quality of love, been the
general atmosphere of the ages
in which the noble martyrs of
history were sacrificed, inteli-
gent social and political ADJUST
ments in all matters would have
been possible - at least within
any given country for a time
The warmth of brotherly love
begets enlightenment and order.
However. creations scheme of
