Patrons Of the National Symphony
have been waiting for the oppor-
tunity given them last night at
the Water Gate to welcome back DR..
Hans Kinder at the head OF the
orchestra he founded. The con-
Germ felt during his recent illness
and convalescence was dissipated
completely when he appeared with
all his oId-time yigor, springing on
to the raised conductors platform
es lightly as ever. The second con-
cert of the summer series was the
only one he will conduct, and the
special nature of this event crowded
the site on the Potomac with his
many friends. He was warmly
greeted and his conducting brought
the same appreciative applause that
his knowledge, style and author
ity command.
It was a pity that Mozart "Haff-
ner" Symphony was played to many
empty seats. After this perform
ance the people came in such num-
bers that the business Of seating
them continued through the next
two selections. Besides disturbing
the pleasure of those already as
sembled the late comers missed the
beauty that attends the close OF
day and which is one of the par
ticular attractions of the summer
concerts. So much music can be
enioyed in the winter with nothing
especially to look at that 1t seems
more advantage would be taken Of
the occasion to hear 1t while the
panorama of sunset Is unfolded
True, the night was lovely, with a
crescent moon poised directly over
the barge In clear sky, but this
was after one Of natures most
gorgeous displays.
The program climaxed with the
performance of Rachmaninof1 S

the celebrated Puerto Rican plan
ist. JeSus Maria Sanroma. This
was Mr.. Sanroma's fourth appear
ance with the symphony at the
Water Gate, on two OF which he
was heard in the Gershwin works.
The Rachmaninof concerto Is a
favorite number with Water Gate
soloists, but Mr.. Sanroma brings a
special flavor to his Interpretation
of it. He has a distinctive style,
filed with brilliant, nervous dash
that give sparkle to passage work,
and a subtle sense of the high point
