BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

The National Symphony Orchestra
honored its patrons among the Fed
eral employees by dedicating yester-
days concert to them and their
friends. 1t was the fourth of such
concerts and the program was
planned in accordance with the
groups wishes. The popular Glenn
Darwin, baritone, was soloist, sing
ing two sets of numbers to the
orchestra's accompaniment.
Mr.. Darwin has such fine control
of the mechanism of singing that
the audience is Immediately put into
a receptive mood, needing only to
listen and enjoy the beautiful quail
ity of his voice Handels Thanks
Be To God" was an immediate H.
lustration of his splendid skill in
long sustained passages, where the
breath was supported with unwaver-
ing f1rmness. The well-focused tones
made much of the appealing melody
of the Evening Star" from Wagner's
"Tannhauser" and of Tschaikowsky's
THE Pilgrims Song"
The gay Mon Piu Andrai" from
Mozart's THE Marriage of Figaro"
formed such pleasing climax for
his first group that Mr.. Darwin re-
peated it after being recalled several
times. His singing of Moussorgsky's
The Flea" was also excellently done,
with just little difference in flavor
from the customary. The conclud-
ing number was to have been Rach-
maninoff's Floods of Spring." but
the artist explained that the orches-
tration that was sent might have
been suitable in key to Lily Pons but
was certainly not for him, and in
It's place he sang Drink To Me Only
With Thine Eyes" Following this,
in response to the audiences insis-
tent demand, he gave "Quand la
Flamme d'Amour" from Bizet's La
Jolie File de Perth"
Grieg's peer Gynt Suite No. 1"
and Schubert's Unfinished" SYM
phony' were the high lights of the
orchestral portions of the program,
both numbers being directed by DR..
Hans Kinder with reverential con-
sideration for the beauty of their
melodic lines. The Schubert SYM
phony has no finer interpreter than
DR.. Kinder, and the orchestra men,
berS were inspired in the finish and
depth of their playing. Autheil's
''Pizzicato Polka" and Tales From
the Vienna Woods" brought a gay
mood into the varied program that
opened with the Prelude to Act I
from Wagner's Die Meistersinger.
Dvorine Gives Program.
The gifted young pianist, Shura
Dvorine, played again last night at
the National Gallery of Art, giving
a program that allowed full percep-
ton of his highly developed pianistic
powers. Not only is he virtuoso as
far as keyboard mastery is con-
cerned, but he has a fire and elan
that lifts his performance to high
level and gives it particularly
dashing sweep.
He has also ripe musical feeling
for shadings, needing only more
personal conviction to make 1t COM

Samuel Marti Gives
Observation-Disclosures at
PanAmeriCanUniOn
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

1t is not often that one hears a re-
cital in which the artist, through
sheer interpretative gifts, becomes
so convincingly the bearer of al
composers message and serves as
his best spokesman. This was the
case yesterday afternoon, when
Samuel Marti, Mexican violinist,
made his debut in the Pan American
Union, assisted by his talented
wife, Gunhild Nilsson, pianist. The
program, consisting of numbers by
composers of several countries,
including Mexico, unquestionably
ranked among the most represent
ative and distinctive ones heard in
the Pan American Union.
Prefacing his performance by
Few comments, the violinist opened
with Villa-Lobos' Sonata Fantasia
No. l." in which he disclosed a
musical and sympathetic tone, al
technique equal to all demands the
music presented, and an intelligent
penetration into the composers
aims, back of odd harmonic struc-
lures.
The work of Villa-Lobos abounds
In short melodious phrases which
needs a skillful hand to weld them
together. Heard here before on
several occasions, the composition
gained greatly by his sympathetic
and understanding treatment of the
themes and especially of the Ca
denza at the end, making the whole
logical and the details intelligible.
Instead of Kostakowsky's Con-
certo for Violin and Orchestra" Mr..
Marti played five selections from
the Suite Populaire Espagnole" by
de Falla, arranged for the violin
by Kochanski: Eel Pano Moruno,"
Mana" Polo" "Asturiana" and
"Jota," followed by Rogue Cordero's
romantic "Evocacion" and clever
DANA Grotesca," which received
their world premiere on this occa-
sion, and were enthusiastically
applauded.
Warming up more and more as
the recital progressed, the artist
gave an individual reading to
Bloch's "Nigun," one of the three
pictures of "Chassidic Life" from
the suite "Baal Shem," which i'm
pressed by its poetry and refinement.
The recital closed with four sue
cessful transcriptions made by Mr..
Marti of Ponce's tuneful "Serenata
Mexicana," Cardenas' Indian
Chant" representative of Inca
aboriginal culture; Revueltas'
'Duelo por Garcia Lorca," written
In memory of the great poet, whose
loss, during the recent Spanish
revolution, was mourned by many
nations, and de Falla's "Danza del
Fuego," which was followed by sew
eral effective encores.
