After DR.. Moore had pralsec
the caLber of the members OF
the New Hanover board and
pointed out that they had kept

don't for one moment reflect on
the caliber of the men on the

~ think we should meet again

which was later carried, to have

three county boards with the
ABC administrators to discuss
the operation Of the stores.

Playing Its last sunday program
before setting out on another con-
cert tour. the National Symphony
Orchestra gave concert in Consti-
tuition Hall yesterday afternoon,
dedicated to compositions by Bach,
Brahms and Beethoven. Less aus
tere in character than the two SYM
phonies on the program, Bach's
Suite In B Minor" served as q
fitting preamble. Intended to pro-
vide entertainment, this work be-
longs to a period when circum-
stances permitted Bach to enrich
the files of chamber and orchestral
music and to depart from the re-
ligious type of music.
In the suites dance forms Of
French, Spanish and Polish origin,
as interpreted by DR.. Hans Kinder,
the orchestra gave fine indication
OF continued progress made In the
direction Of greater coordination
and artistic discipline. The crisp
effects in the string section, off,
setting the florid passages Of the
flute, played by Wallace Mann, first
futist of the orchestra, the singing
quality of the tone in the Sara
bande" and the touch of pleasantly
added to the "Badinerie" disclosed
greater concentration on detail and
phrasing, later confirmed in the
execution of the larger works.
The presentation of Brahms
Symphony No. 3, in F Major" at
this time was the first tribute paid
by DR. Kinder to the composer the
50th anniversary of whose death is
observed universally this year. AS
the original manuscript now reposes
on the shelves of the Library Of
Congress, purchased by the Gertrude
Clarke Whittall Foundation, and
currently exhibited, the hearing Of
this work had added interest. Monu-
mental in design and scope the
work offered many opportunities
for forceful expression and delicate
nuance In which the woodwind ex-
celled.
The program closed with Beet
hoven's symphony No. 7" which
seems symbolically descriptive Of
human life with its aspiration and
fulfllment, the march Of time, its
gravity, the Joy of living and the
triumph of right over wrong. It
was in this that DR.. Kinder rose
to new heights in his concept.
The "Andante," where perfect bal
ance between solemnity and rhythm
spoke of inspiration, presented an
artistic contrast to the exuberance
of the "Scherzo" and the ponder

Makovsky Plays at Gallery.
The violin recital by Paul Makov-
sky in the National Gallery of Art
last night marks the second appear
anoe of this violinist here. He was
heard with the National Symphony
at the Water Gate last June as
soloist In the Mendelssohn's
concerto.
With the exception OF Bach's
"Adagio and Presto" his program
yesterday was devoted to lighter
type of music. Unquestionably Mr..
Makovsky has the talent to lend dis
tinction to such numbers as Vivaldi's
Suite in A Major" and Schubert's
"Sonat.na in A minor, op. 1877, No.
O." He took infinite care in per-
fecting details of shading. effect,
accent and style in compositions of
an era long past. Interpreters of
Mr.. Makovsky's perceptions would
be welcome in the field Of a later
period which has not been overly
exploited and has much more to
offer.
