THE ENGLISH SPARROW

To the English sparrow let me sing, That traduced, unwelcome thing Daring to invade nation, Waiting not for invitation. There's bounty your head, He's absolved who shoots you dead When other birds have flown away In winter, you decide to stay; With little left for you to eat, still we hear your "tweet," 'tweet," "tweet" While looking forward with faith to spring, And to reconditioning. Though you starve, today. tomorrow, You're a Sport-brave English sparrow!

A PROBLEM A DAY Every day brings forth a problem Something you can't ignore; Seems awfully hard at that
 For two and two to make four. We're deluged with new ideas,
 New plans for this and that, The social ills, youth and war,
 Everyone must go to bat. Committees have us dazzled,
 Drives, they come and go; Every day has its little problem, T1ey face us in a row.

Pro Arte Quartet
Begins Series
At the Library
By ALICE EVERSMAN.

Inc three concerts by the Pro
Arte Quartet, which will be a re-
view of the works of contemporary
composers commissioned by the
Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Founda-
tion in the Library of Congress or
by Mrs. Coolidge herself, began last
night with a program listing
Schoenberg and Malipiero. Each
concert. to be given on successive
Friday nights, will conclude with a
Mozart Quartet, that chosen for the
initial program being the Quartet
in D Major, K. V. 575."
The Pro Arte Quartet, originally
of Brussels but at present of the
University of Michigan, has only one
OF the members of the first group
German Provost, violist, in the
personnel of today. His associates
are Rudolf Kohsh and Albert Rahier
violins, and Ernst Friedlander, cello
Whatever changes the membership
has undergone, the quartet has ap-
peared frequently at the Library
of Congress.
Frequently also has been the in
clusion of chamber music works by
Clan Francesca Malipiero in the
programs given by the Coolidge
Foundation. The composer was
presented with the award bestowed
on outstanding contributors to the
advancement of this branch of
music in 1887 on Founders Day.
His "Rispetti Strambotti' played
last night was first heard in the
Library year earlier.
The work remains one full of
fire and beauty in its modern speech
which is bound together by exquisite
bits OF songlike passages. The en-
ployment of the four instruments
exploits their full capabilities, espe-
cially the viola to which is assigned
especially lovely solo measures. The
vigorous rhythms, strictly of the
people, and the sonorous power of
the music nevertheless has a refined
quality which its clarity of form
emphasizes.
Arnold Schoenberg' String Quar-
tet No. 3, op. 90" with which the
concert began, is drab writing beside
that of Malipiero and the ever
stimulating charm of Mozart. 1t is
difficult to be oblivious to the calcu-
lation exercised by the composer
and the nervous restlessness ex-
pressed in short, tense ideas. The
Pro Arte musicians did not give q
convincing performance, although
scrupulously observing dynamic
effects. In probable attempt to
avoid raucousness, the tone, in en-
semble and singly, was too limpid
but had the advantage of rounding
the contours of the work consider
ably.
The excellent and richly toned
sound the artists produced came
to the fore in Mozarts Quartet,
which was given vibrant reading
illumined with f1nesse of execution
and warmth of spirit. In the same
we'll -thought-ou manner, Mali
piero's work brought out resonant
and more dramatic tone and all
the artistry for which they are
Justly famous.
