Menuhin Gives Recital Today,
Plays Work by Accompanies

Yehud1 Menuhin, distinguished
American violinist, will return after
an absence of three years to give a
recital in Constitution Hall this aft
ernoon at 4 o'clock under the local
management of Dorothy Hodgkin
Dorsey. He will be assisted at the
piano by Adolph Baller.
Born in New York on April %.
1916, Menuhin is approaching his
18th birthday. He has fulfilled, in
abundant measure, the promise of
the great future he first gave as a
child of 8 at his New York debut.
Having begun the study of the vio-
lin at the age of 4, under Louis Per-
singer, then concertmaster of the
San Francisco Symphony, he /ap-
peared as soloist with that orchestra
under Alfred Hertz and at the age
of IL, played the Beethoven con-
certo with the New York Symphony
under Fritz Busch. 1t was about
that time that Washington first
heard Menuhin in a recital at the
old Polls Theater when he was &C
companied by Mr.. Persinger.
Since the war began, the famous
violinist has played at Army camps
and bases throughout the United
States and overseas to the great re-
striction of his American concert
activities. On one occasion, he flew
to and from England by bomber
plane at the invitation of the British
Government to play for American
and Allied troops and for war relief
organizations. He played 81 con-
certs in four weeks in England and
eight of these concerts, given in
Albert Hall, London. brought over
100000 for war charities.
The feature of Menuhins concert
this afternoon will be the perform
ance of "DanSe d'Alma by Mr..
Baller who dedicated his work to
the violinist. 1t is said to have ref
erence to his experiences in Vienna.
Mr.. Baller, who was imprisoned by
the Nazi at the time of the Vienna
occupation and suffered ill-treat-
ment at their hands, has been hailed
by the critics of San Francisco and
Los Angeles who heard his piano re-

Music
Serkin Returns
To Play Brahms
With Orchestra

For the fifth and last Philadelphia
Orchestra's regular subscription con.
cert in Constitution Hall on Tuesda,
evening at $3.50 o'clock, Eugene Or.
mandy has chosen an unusual pro-
gram. The novelty of the evening
is Louis Gesensway's Suite" ir
three movements for strings anC
percussion instruments. Rudolf Ser
kin, the eminent pianist, who has
been enthusiastically received ir
Washington a number of times, will
be heard in the Brahms Concerto
No. in B Flat Major"
Mr.. Gesensway, a violinist with
the Philadelphia Orchestra, is a
native of Latvia. He created q
furore in the musical world last
spring in a recital of his compost
lions, demonstrating his new color
in-music theory. He believes thai
each tone of the scale has five
Shades" and deals with 40 tones
in each octave instead of the regular
eight, attaining thereby a new
color" In his suite he gives the
percussion instruments a medolic
line, treating it as tonal instru-
ment and presents them in various
combinations with the strings.
Since string instruments by ma
ture have infinitessimal possibilities
as to pitch, their feXibility can be
exploited Indefinitely. The composer
refers to the results obtained as
absolute music" however not the
kind that will play to one" but a
new kind which must be listened to
attentively to be understood.
The concert will open with
Haydn's symphony No. 88 in G
Minor" to be followed by Gesen-
sway's suite and with Stravinsky S
Fireworks" completing the first half
of the program.

Concerning the photograph as
such, the Senator wrote to Kent
Cooper, executive director of the

"The raising of the flag on Mount

should never be forgotten. No war

certainly no news picture is to be
compared with it in dramatic APP
