An inter- American program fea-
turing two world premieres and the
second orchestral appearance in this
country of Arnaldo Estrella, Brazil
ian pianist who has come here as
the winner of the Columbia Con-
certs Award, has been scheduled by
Conductor Hans Kinder for this
afternoons National Symphony Or
chestra concert beginning at
o'clock in Constitution Hall.
But for its all-subscription concert
on Wednesday evening, when Jose
Iturbi appears as soloist in the
Beethoven piano Concerto No. 3 in
G Minor" the National Symphony
will return to the European roper
tory, at the same time enlarging its
own roster of compositions played by
the inclusion on the program of the
Glazounov Symphony No. in E
Flat"
For his appearance with the Ma
tional Symphony this afternoon
Estrella has chosen to play, for the
first time anywhere, the Piano
Concerto No. 2" by his compatriot,
Radames Gnattan, which the COM
poser has dedicated to the pianist
Mr.. Estrella will also be heard with
out orchestral accompaniment in
two piano solos by South Americas
greatest composer. Heitor Villa
Lobos. The third Brazilian number
programmed for today Is the excit-
ing "Batuque," by Oscar Lorenzo
Fernandez, which the orchestra in

half ago.
OF particular interest, since it is

name a household word in musical
America, and has continued in the
top ranks of pianists ever since

pianist, almost 200 concerts each
year. At the present time he is

Record Reviews
By Alice Eversman.

<APsSS - SSS cF"ebs
The recording companies con-
fined themselves the past two
months to supplying the public
with depressing of familiar num-
bers for the holiday season sale.
Now they are releasing a limited
list of fine albums and single discs
for general consumption. The Vic
tor and Columbia companies,
whether by design or accident fea-
ture symphony by Sibelius, the
former offering his Symphony No.
7" played by the st. Louis SYM
phony, Vladimir Golschmann, di-
recting and the latter the Sym
phony No. /" as performed by the
New York Philharmonic with John
Barbirolle conducting.
1t is extremely interesting to
have at hand for comparison the
first and last symphonic work of
such a master composer as Sibelius.
His initial effort in that line bear
ing unconsciously, perhaps, the in
f1uence of his forerunners in that
field is thus placed in juxtaposition
to his last writing wherein his
command of style and form reaches
a greater perfection. What is still
more interesting is the way in
which his individuality has never
changed or his tonal concept
waivered.
The Seventh Symphony" is as
truly Sibelius as his first and cas-
lily recognized as such. The work is
in one movement and it is said to
Illustrate a new plan of compost
ton standing between the SYM
phony and the tone poem. The
First" on the contrary, represents
Sibelius with his attachment of
European idiom plainly evident but
with positive inclusion of his own
broad, primeval utterances like
that of no other writer.
Golschmann has succeeded admi-
rably in bringing out the strong
character Of the moods of the
Seventh Symphony" which served
to divide it into sections ordinarily
covered by the regulation form OF
symphony writing. In it the detached
sentiment which is deep but not
personal Is more sober reflection
of the same emotion more simply
expressed in his first symphonic
work. But the tremendous cosmic
spirit permeates both and remains
for this generation one of the mar
vels of national composition.
Accompanying the Sibelius "Sev-
enth" on the Victor list is a splendid
recording of Smetana's THE Mol
dau" by the National Symphony
Orchestra. In quite an unbiased
sense, the tonal quality of the Capt.
tails orchestra is more pliable and
more appealing than that Of either
the two older organizations repre-
sented this month. DR.. Kindler's
reading of this beautifully descrip-
tive music, full of deep love OF coun-
try, is inspiring and he has succeed
ed In making 1t emotionally appeal
ing. 1t can be predicted that this
recording will be popular one fol
it is clean cut, vital In spirit and ar
tistically delivered.
Among the single discs are record
ings by John Charles Thomas OF the
familiar where My Caravan Ha,
Rested" and Fosters Gentle An.
ME-" Kreisler's playing Of his Ron
dino on a Theme by Beethoven" anc
his arrangement of the Bach Ga
Vote" and Miliza Korjus' dazzling
singing of "Funiculi Funicula" anc
Rossini'S La DANA"

When the National Gallery of
Art was opened a little less than a
year ago one of the most charming
of all the rooms was that chiefly de-
voted to paintings of the Flemish
school derived from the Mellon
collection.
These are supplemented this
month by the group of paintings of
the same school lent by the Belgian
government and reviewed on this
page.
No longer can we go abroad for
recreation and pleasure but with
delightful generosity some Of the
masterpieces of European painting
have been sent to us as messengers
of good will. The mountain has
come to Mohammed.
And what do we find on the
mountain? In the present instance
just this-a very little country
which has made a very large con-
tribution to the art of the world.
Belgium on the map today covers
a little over 1000 square miles,
which is approximately 1000 miles
less than the State of Maryland
yet in this little country during the
14th, 18th, 18th and 18th Centuries
arose an art of the finest character,
representative of the high culture to
which those of this Nation had
attained.
Indeed 1t may be safely said that
nowhere in the world are so many
and such superb examples of art
to be found as within the narrow
boundaries of Belgium.
The cities of France have their
magnificent cathedrals but the cities
of Flanders have these with their
slender towers but also municipal
buildings, city halls, guild halls and
the like, to say nothing of libraries
and universities, all of which were
built beautifully and as none had
been built before.
Take for example the Town Hall
OF Brussels and the Cloth Hall of
BRUCE, to say nothing of the palace
OF the bishops at Liege or the library
at Louyain-the last of which was
but Is no more-the victim of
two wars. These are all Gothic
but designed with such keen under
standing Of fitness and beauty that
they seem to have naturally evolved
from the consciousness of an art
loving people rather than the crea-
ton, IN any instance, of single
mind.
Shared by All Glasses.
To an extent this was true, for
the Flemish people during that era
were possessed by love of art
a love which was shared by all
classes. The minor arts-engrav-
ing, tapestry, goldsmith's work
typography-as Max Rooses, for
merly director of the Antwerp Mu-
scum, has said, f1ourished then In

Phillips Gallery Shou'
Dralcs to Close.

Today is the last opportunity to
see the six exhibitions at the Phil
| lips Memorial Gallery. Among them
is a one-man show of Is oils and
water oolors by John Gernand, who
was born in Washington and has
always made his home here. He is
now acting curator of the Phillips
| Gallery.
There is a quality of gentleness
about his work, which is done in a
| close harmony of soft grayed COL
ors. His subjects are mostly land
scapes, and he seems to be at his
best in the oil medium Early
| Morning" Hill and Garden" and
Spring Sky" are outstanding in the
! present group.
! Milton Avery's oil paintings, ex-
| hibited in three galleries, have in
! spired an enthusiastic essay by C.
/ Law Watkins in the catalogue. He
/ says in part, The familiar world
and its occupants undergo a coher-
/ ent metamorphosis into Avery's own
/ world of invented forms This world
adheres primarily to its own
/ realities-the relations of color
shapes on a fiat rectangle of can
vas"
I However, Mr. Avery's inventions"
are recognizable In consequence,
the average visitor cannot avoid
comparing them with the natural
forms which inspired them and will
probably feel that despite the fresh
color used, the large size of the
paintings Gin most instances) and
their scanty subject matter make
them esthetic deserts. Those who
have a taste for Mr.. Avery's work
must have had to cultivate it as
siduouSly.
Paul Wieghardt, a German refu-
gee artist who came to this country
IN 1910, has one-man show of
water colors, pen and crayon draw
ings. He displays an expressive
line in such drawings as those of
cats and in the characterize head of
an elderly woman. His water colors,
however, are not so well articulated.
He uses high-keyed colors on wet
paper, which gives them a blurred,
misty effect. AND he fortifies his
forms with pen = crayon outlines.

Days of Minidturisfs

What, may We ask, are we in
America doing toward such accom-
plishment today-in time OF war
which threatens not only comfort
but civilization itself? Are We de-
manding beauty and are we cherish
ing 1t? Are we creating beauty for
the sheer love of it? Or are we seek
ing novelty and feeding on the
husks Of shock and excitement? The
art Of Belgium-its architecture,
sculpture, weaving, lacemaking-is
essentially beautiful, and for this
reason has endured up to these
later days. But the spark by which
1t was lighted no longer is to be seen.
In more than 100 years no great
artist has arisen in Belgium, unless
it is Meunier, the sculptor OF toiling
men and women.
Is this symptomatic OF the world
at large? If so, how great is our re-
sponsibility to rekindle the flame
and keep it burning. These visitors
from Flanders, now under the roof
OF our National Gallery of Art, bring
us a message from the Old World,
from which our civilization is de-
rived, which may have deeper i'm
plication than we realize. Let us
give them heed.

Officers and Members,
Greetings:
l am writing to express my
heartfelt appreciation for the aid
that you have all so kindly and
considerably accorded me in my
hours of dire need. Without that
kind aid life under the present
circumstances would have been
intolerable.
/ desire to extend my particular
obligations to Brothers West, 10
gan, Huneley and Brother fill
yard, who came to visit me, and
rendered greatly needed financial
assistance.
The date of my trial has been
set for the 21st day of Septem-
Der, 1913, in the Superior Court,
King County. Because of the fact
that my former attorney, Mr..
Ringold has been indicted into
the Armed Services, I have been
compelled to retain the counsel OF
another attorney, Mr.. Ralph
Hoar. Therefore, 1 respectfully
request that as many of the bro
theirs as possible be present at
my trial, to lend me moral aid
and consolation in this hour OF
need. AS undoubtedly fate has
dealt me a cruel blow and my
destiny is uncertain, leaving me |
tottering on the brink of disaster.
Most of the members are ia
miliar with the circumstances |
my case as the pre-
vailing situation affect us all di-
rectly or indirectly in some man
ner or other. They therefore real
ize how difficult my position is.
So that l implore that you be
present in as large a body as
possible, in order to ascertain
that receive a fair and impartial
trial. My fate and future destiny
may depend upon your attendance
more so than upon the integrity
Of the court.
Enclosed will be found $500.

odge and council dues, $500
