Symphony Observes
Birthday Wednesday;
Concert Today
BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

The National Symphony Orches-
ira will celebrate its 18th ami
versary on Wednesday with con-
cert for the members of the Orches-
ira Association. No tickets will be
sold for this event, it being the
extra dividend" promised the
members during the sustaining
fund drive last February. Fritz
Kreisler, the generally beloved
violinist, will be the soloist, playing
the Beethoven concerto, and for the
orchestra DR.. Kinder has pro-
grammed the Sibelius Symphony
No. l." Weinberger's Czech Rhap-
sody" and Frescobaldi's "Toccata."
Today the symphony takes its
place among the six leading or
chestras of this country. But its
fame is spreading beyond our
boundaries, as shown in the fol-
lowing excerpt from letter of a
local serviceman sent from Japan.
He was one of party sent to in
terview the president of the Sinwa
Bank, the official representative of
the Bank of Japan in Sasebo.
Arriving at the presidents luxu-
rious home, the writer adds: "A
grand piano stood in one corner,
combination radio phonograph in
another and between were five full
cases of classical records. 1t was
explained that the piano and the
collection of records belonged to
his son who would be along in a
moment, which he did I collared
him, figuratively of course, and we
looked over his collection. Every
sonata Beethoven wrote, all of
Brahms symphonies, most of
Chopin's works, Handel, Schubert,
Schumann, Bach. The son asked
me where I was from in America
When I told him Washington he
went to a file, pulled out an album,
extracted a record and slipped it
on the turntable. I thought that
this ought to be good but I wasn't
prepared for what came forth-the
unmistakable tones of Frescobaldi's
'Toccata" played by Hans Kinder
and the National Symphony Or
chestra."
The Washington music lovers
who have helped build up the
symphony by their support can be
proud of their accomplishment. In
1881 when the depression was at
its height 81 civic-minded citizens
needed DR.. Kindler's appeal for an
orchestra in the Nations Capital
and began working toward that
end. The fund raised at the first
annual campaign was S57 SIT. This
years contributors reached 10000
in numbers and donations amount
ed to S147O00. The first year 72
musicians formed the ensemble and
played 26 concerts. This season 1O8
concerts were given by an orchestra
numbering 80 players.
The regular Sunday concert today
will have the Metropolitan Opera
tenor, Emery Darcy, as soloist, who
is already known from his appear
ance with the Symphony at the
Water Gate. Mr.. Darcy will sing
"Ombra mai fu" from HandelS
"XerXes," Rossini's La Danza,"
Rachmaninoff' "Oh Thou Billowy
Harvest Field" and THE Floods of
Spring" and two songs by the
Washington composer, Mary Howe,
ITO the Unknown Soldier" and
'Liebeslied."
Besides Tschaikowsky's PA
thetique" Symphony, DR.. Kinder
will conduct Handels "Tesseo Suite"
and Kennan's Night Soliloquy."
The concert will be at o'clock in
Constitution Hall.

Don't BE a Sucker"
Sidesteps Race Issue
California Writer Says
By Almena Davis in
The Los Angeles Tribune


Every once in u while someone
talks Hollywood into doing its duty
by the race question, and the re-
suit is as shoddy as most things
performed in that spirit usually
are. PaTamount's latest contribu-
ton stars Paul Lukas and sucks
In your interest with a misleading
title, Don't Be a Sucker" It's
no expose Of confidence games,
however, but n preachment against
intolerance, an attempt to wise up
the gullible on the suckers game
they're playing when they listen
to race hate orations against mi
nOTities.
Like its predecessors, however,
the film has no punch because il
eonspicuOusly sidesteps the real
race issue in the United States,
the Negro-white problem. That
particular issue is shuffled among
a lot Of minor league scapegoats
like Jews, Catholics, and Free
maSons. All Of them get to carry
as heavy a cross as the Negro.
As result, everybody In the
audience, knowing that Jews,
Catholics, and Frecmasons don't
really have as hard a time Of il
in the United States as the Jews
did In Germany, goes to sleep on
the film, when he might have been
awakened and made to sit bolt up
right by hard hitting exposition
Of the inhuman prejudices levelled
against the Negro.
