 MT. Kettleson visited Hoonah the day after the fire, taking supplies with him, and found a committee in charge which was looking after the needs of the people. Besides the work of the Red Cross n Indian Bureau, many other organi- cations and individuals contributed to relieving the plight of the townspeople.

The fact that Vladimir Horowitz
provided his listeners with program
notes Of the recital he gave yester-
day in Constitution Hall and that
the program itself contained new
and rarely heard numbers was
factor in making the appearance of
the Russian pianist more than ordi-
narily interesting. Ranking above
these material pleasures was, of
course, his playing, which places
him as an individualist among eX-
ponents of the keyboard. The Gus
tomary capacity audience which Is
the rule for Dorothy Hodgkin Dor
sey's series. has not listened to such
a superlative performance in some
time.
1t was an intellectual experience
shared by audience and artist alike.
Mr.. Horowitz has put the search
light Of his musical intelligence so
thoroughly on the music that not
the smallest fragment of its mean
ing has escaped him. With the aid
of his astounding technique, he can
reproduce 1t so that all its varie-
gated colors glisten as he sketches
their mlnuteSt shadows. His play
ing contained everything; dazzling
virtuosity, exquisite pianissimi, pow
erful climatic effects; everything,
that is, except sentiment.
Mr.. Horowitz may be considered
poet of the piano insofar as his de-
light in and understanding of the
beauty of sound and of line shows
but with all the wealth of tonal
loveliness at his command and the
clairvoyance he exercises in his use
of it, one can listen, admire and
remain unmoved He does not let
the music flow through the perfect
mechanism he supplies but creates
it at every moment. Even in the
familiar Chopin number, the Etudes
in E major and F major of opus 10
and the Waltz in A minor, op. "a, |
No. D. performed with the greatest
delicacy and utterly lovely in effect, |
his absorption in the process of
creation was not to be overlooked. |

Vladimir HOrOwitz Hailed
In Constitution Hall Recital

Undoubtedly, no finer interpreter
of the Prokofief Sonata No. Z, op.
83" and Samuel BARRIERS 'Excur-
sions. op. 20," both played for the
first time here, could be had. From
the riot of harmonic material,
changing rhythmS and musical ideas
that Prokofieff has incorporated in
his sonata, Mr.. Horowitz drew a
clear picture with equal respect for
its harsh outlines and for its many
Subtleties. The Prokofieff who
wrote this work Is an unfamiliar
person. Either he has been shocked
out of his gay acceptance of life by
the war in his homeland or he has
fallen under the spell of the Shosta-
kovich of the Seventh Symphony. j"
The writing Is much alike, begin
ming with a martial atmosphere
followed by a stretch of idyllic calm
and ending with a powerful decla-
nation Of the future.
1t is the type of music born in
Russia during these war years. 1t
is pity, however, that Prokofieff
who could be modern, old-fashioned
and thoroughly Russian all at once
and with the greatest charm. has
caught the fever of the time. True,
hint of the composer of Lieu
tenant XIII is visible. but without
any fun. The sonata is deadly
earnest, disturbing and unreward-
ing.
Hearing the Barber work was
return to normalcy. This gifted
American composer has dressed up
selected folk themes of this coun-
try with such skill that these SIM
pie tunes take on a glitter that is
of today. The effect is charming
and stimulating and in the super

TenO Lener Four
Give Recital in
National Gallery
BY ELENA de SAYN.

Fresh from his recent successful
chamber music tour through Mexico
Jeno Lener, first violinist and leader
OF the Lener String Quartet, brought
his new group Of first-class players,
Max Weiser, second violin: Norman
Schoer, viola, and Leo Rostal, cello
for recital in the National Gallery
of Art last night.
Endowed with a pronounced gift
for leadership and dominating the
ensemble by resonant tone aided
by sonorous Guarnerius instru-
ment, Mr.. Lener presented a strictly
classical program consisting of
quartet in B fiat major. K. 458" by
Mozart, called '"The Hunt: Brahms
Quartet in A Minor, op. 81, No. q
and Haydn's Quartet in F major
op. 3, No. S."
The appealing qualities of Brahms
work with its czardas-like finale and
unsurpassed in its combination of
spontaneity and superb workman
ship gave the players many oppor-
tunities for displaying their tech
nical mastery in the development
of the elaborate pattern of the work
famous for its noble and expressive
"andante moderate" of the second
movement, the most serious of the
four. It's elegiac character of resig-
nation was reflected in the lovely
mezza-voce tones drawn from the
four Instruments, pleasing for its
fullness and mellowness of sound.
Taking into consideration the
popularity of the east garden court
acoustics, Mozart's Quartet was
somewhat too robust in effect, lean
ing rather toward Brahms sturdi-
ness and departing from Mozart's
familiar grace of line cherished for
its delcacy and refinement. The
program closed with Haydns Quar-
tet in F major, op. 8, No. 81
Marine Band Quartet
At Phillips Gallery.
The appearance of four young
musicians from the United States
Marine Band, who joined forces in
a strong quartet, drew full house
to the auditorium of the Phillips
Gallery yesterday afternoon.
Bringing youthful enthusiasm and
excellent individual training into
their ensemble, the players, Sergt
Ferdinand Pranzatelli and Sergt.
Robert Horak, violins; Sergt. Joseph
De Pasquale, viola, and Sergt. Will
liam Saputelli, cello, gave an un-
usually fine reading to Quincy
Porter's Quartet No. g." which was
preceded by Haydn's Quartet op
81, No. l., and followed by Dohnany's
Quartet in D fiat Major, op. Is"
Well matched in uniformity and
beauty Of tone, the performance by
the group was notable for smooth
ness and eoherence, leaving Porter's
work its inherent quality of natur-
alness and popularity of idiom. In
perfect accord with one another in
subtler passages and in quick
changes of tempt, they allowed emo
tional clinaxes to ring true. i'm
bued with proper regard for the
music, without ostentation Or ag-
gressiveness. The applause which
greeted each number on the pro-
gram was generous and rewarding.

scintinated with gayety.
Other novelties on this distinc-
tive program were Tschaikowsky's
''Dumka" and CZerny's Variations

Now the Maquis patriots--the French
Forces of the 1nterior-are striking.
I know them, and I know you have
only seen the beginning. There will
not be main highway in Central or
Southern France over which the Booches
can retreat without dynamited bridges,
distractions and serious losses. The
landing of French troops in the south
has had an enormous psychological
effect upon the resistance. There the
Rhone Valley is the only escape route
for the Germans. But the Rhone VAL
ley is very narrow around Lyons. The
large Maquis forces OF the Haute
Savoie are close at hand. I do not
believe that the Germans eight to
twelve divisions in Southern and South
western France can possibly escape,
except for stragglers. They will be
ambushed and harassed at every turn,
Events in France are going to march
terribly fast now. In very short time
the Germans situation everywhere
south of the Somme and the Aisne

FIJI is that everything in Underground
France is organized by radio. They re-
ceive their orders immediately-from
London, Allied headquarters and Algiers;
also from Allied and French command
ers on French soil. A message-"tonight
the nightingale sings at X'-means
blow up the bridge at x tonight" 1t is
done. That's happening all over France.
The Marquis was created-very con-
veniently-by the Germans. They gave
Vichy huge quotas to send Frenchmen
into Germany as forced laborers What
then happened explains why I say
there are more than 100000 in the
Maquis today. Rather than go to Ger
many Frenchmen everywhere went into
hiding. vichy only rounded up or 3
per cent of their quotas. We have the
figures on this. Scores of thousands of
Frenchmen simply disappeared. That's
why the FIJI exists today. And when the
Boches ordered all Frenchmen to turn
in their arms our men turned them in,
got their receipts-then, usually, the
arms were stolen the next night. This
is why reports mention patriots fighting
with strange weapons"
There's one more important thing
about the Maquis. All these men have
had military service. In a very few
weeks De Gaulle can have huge army
perhaps nearer 100000 than SOC, 900
men. All they'll need will be arms. If
the Allies vii arm them quickly, a
great many infantry divisions can be
organized in time to help invade Ger
many. All these patriots wish is to
chase the last Boche from France-and
to kill the greatest possible number of
Germans while doing it. And this time
it's entirely different from 1899. This
time every Frenchman will join the
army with Joy. If the Allies did not
permit the new French Army to play
its full part in the last week of the war,
1t would be . grave error. We live to
drive the Germans out.
The new French Army will be an army
OF volunteers-not Of conscripted men.
These men have only one obsession; to
drive out the hated Germans. This will
be the happiest day Of their lives. You
now see, in the making, an entirely new
army-inspired by new spirit and dedi-
Gated to the new French. The under
ground and the Maquis have laid the
foundations. Before September 10 you
will see what they have done.

in 1910, the Republicans held only %
seats in the Senate. Basing his predic-
ton Of Democratic control of the Sen

also on his own knowledge of political

"the Democrats need to win only IA of
