Deems Taylor, the American Pro-
kofeff, has added another charm
ing and clever work to his long
list with his Marco Takes Walk" :"
Having something of the same quail
ity that is found in Peter and the
Wolf" he has written of a childs
experiences with a like fantasy
sympathy and humor. One listens
with smile to the amusing uses
to which he puts different instru-
ments- and the business of their
descriptive duties and at the same
time appreciates the unobtrusive
skill that weaves together in a work
of value this light subject matter.
The impression which Kent Ken
mans Might Soliloquy" made at

enhanced by the performance last

gems that evoke special mood

The programming of the Kaba-
levsky symphony No. 2" for the
midweek concert Of the National
Symphony provided those who had
attended its first performance on
the Sunday series with an oppor-
tunity for fresh appraisal while
making known the work of an
other contemporary Russian COM
poser to the Wednesday patrons.
The major number on last nights
program, it had rivals for favor in
Deems Taylor's Marco Takes a
Walk" a novelty for this city, and
Kennan's Night Soliloquy," which
completed the list of selections
commencing with the overture to
Gluck's 'Iphigenia in Aulis" and
ending with Liszt's "Mephisto
Waltz"
The genuineness of the Soviet
composers talent is indisputable,
yet its complete fruition cannot be
found in his second effort in SYM
phonic form. It CLEANS strongly
in portions of the work and these
moments are arresting for what
they have of originality and in
spiration. The rather confused
wanderings that occur intermit-
tently retard both the idea and its
expression. Kabalevsky's earnest
ness is convincing and he does not
rely on any spectacular effects for
rousing his audience. The clarity
of his themes, which many times
have rare beauty, and his orches-
trail treatment bear the stamp of

SAN JUAN Puerto Rico. Mar.
9.-Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, tour
ing United States military posts in
the Caribbean, yesterday praised
the men in this theater "for what
you have done" in keeping sea lanes
open from the United States.
The Presidents wife said that
here, as in some isolated parts of
the Southwest Pacific, she found
the men more homesick than those
in active battle areas because the
latter primarily are concerned with
remaining alive"
Mrs. Roosevelt, who arrived here
yesterday after visiting posts at
Jamaica and Guantanamo, Cuba
said her whole reason for making
the trip was to bring a message
from the President. He really does
watch what they do"
