Yesterdays concert Dy Une Nd-
tional Symphony rivaled those Of
the Wednesday series in several
points of interest. There was the
appearance of Blanche Thebom as
soloist who proved to be. a singer of
exceptional endowment. Howard
Mitchell, first cellist of the orches-
ira and its assistant conductor, took
the baton for one of his rare per-
formances as director of the group
and made a deep impression by his
talent in this line especially In the
directing of the new works, Ibert's
"Escales" and the accompaniment
of Mahler's "Lieder eines fahrenden
Gesellen"
Miss Thebomb has a regal car
riage in keeping with her type Of
voice and manner of singing and
her attractive appearance imme-
diately won the audience. Hers is
a mezzo-soprano of even quality,
the lower portion being full with
out being heavy and graduating
logically to the power found in the
middle register and, to lesser de-
gree, in the higher. But it's charm
lies in its fexibility in nuance and
easy agility in passage work as
shown in Cara Speme" from
Haydn's "Orpheus," her first num-
Der. The aria was sung in broad
style, opulent tone and a depth of
feeling that disclosed her as an ar
tist of rich perception.
Her singing of the Mailer lieder,
however, evoked one of those ova-
tions accorded artists only OCCASION
ally. -Four of the cycle of six songs
were programmed. Dating from the
composers 23d year they are set
apart by the more than Is years
separating them from his Lied Won
der Erde." There is the natural
sympathy between text and music
that comes from both stemming
from the same pen. The woe and
sorrow of parting from his first love
is the theme dwelt upon with
youthful tragedy.
"Wenn mein Schatz Hochzeit
macht" and "Die Zwei Blauen Augen
Won meinem Schatz" are somewhat
in the Brahmsian style. the former
Offering the best opportunity to hear
the singers fine low tones. More
drama is reached in "Ich hab' elm
gluehend Messer" which Miss The
bonn underscored with effect.
Throughout there was wealth of
tonal coloring in her delivery al
though some of the finest pianissimi
passages had little carrying power,
for the singers voice lacked reson-
ance at these moments. But the
art of her presentation and its
emotional sincerity stirred the audi
ence to great applause that brought
the artist out again and again.
Mr.. Mitchell provided a mastery
accompaniment that completed the
singers intentions. He has a keen
sense for picturesque details and
each of the orchestra numbers held
the imprint of his artistic analysis.
Ibert's "Escales" is a delightful work
strongly marked by the characters
tics of life in the ports visited by
the composer during his life in the
Navy. His preference for the wind
instruments is shown again here
for some of the most effective writ
ing is put into that section of the
orchestra. An economy of orches-
trail means is used in the first move

Nefta," but is expanded to rich
color for the gay and vivid "Valen-

quality even in more contemplative
moments. It was fine, crisp play
ing, embellished by virtuoso skill
on the technical side but also re-
warding from the interpretive
angle.
The pliability of his style was
visible-with particular effect in
the Haydn Sonata in E minor
which was charmingly played, the
brilliant setting forth Of Chopin's
"Scherzo in G sharp minor" and
the delicate handling of Debussy's
"Rondo in G major, op. 81, No. 2"

Thousands Watch Parade,
Welcome Mr.. Christmas
AT Postoffice

Throngs of thousands of chill
dren and grown-ups lined Front
street in downtown Wilmington
to watch Santa Claus in his Of
ficial arrival in the city by the
ACL's North Pole special and
his parade down Front to the
post office.
The radiant faced young
sters took advantage of every
vantage point, including second
story windows and balconies of
business establishments, to watch
Miss Micky Hartis, Miss Whining
ton of 1947," present the key of
the city to St. Nicholas and make
their own roaring welcome Of
ficial.
"What do you say, kids?" Kris
Kringle asked the assembly It's
the first time I've been here in
about year, and Pm glad to
be back in your city"
Santa Claus question, "Are
you glad to see me?" was greet
ed with a shouted chorus of
"yes" from the children.
For a full hour before Santa
arrived in the parade sponsored
by the Wilmington Junior
Chamber of Commerce the
crowds lined the sidewalks
in anticipation. Many of the
smaller Wilmingtonians sat as
tride the shoulders of their
mothers and fathers.
Christmas Music
At the corner of Chestnut and
Front, where Santa made his
speech, the Salvation Army's
loud speaker system connected
with their Christmas donation
booth, was stepped up to play
Christmas music louder than
usual and to add spirit to the
