Evening star., 1948-07-17
By Elena de Soyn

There were not many empty seats
last night at the Water Gate, where
the National Symphony Orchestra
gave one of its most satisfying pro-
grams of the Summer season. The
colorful throng which occupied the
steps and filled the chairs down to
the waterfront spoke well for the
financial success of the evening.
But it is Howard Mitchell, the di-
rector, and Earl Wild, soloist, who
should be thanked for providing an
artistic treat by the selection of the
program and by its performance.
Mr.. Wild established and MAIN
tanned from the first to the last note
the poetic mood which permeates
Rachmaninoff' second concerto
The lovely quality and vibrancy of
his touch, whether leading or SUBJ
siding in a soulful obbligato played
to themes carried by various instru-
ments in the orchestra, made the
printed pages of the concerto glow
with a personal and intimate mean
ing. In the pianist's Interpretation,
the well-remembered austere and
reticent personality of Rachmanin-
of loomed behind the notes, tender
and human. The virtuosity and dash
with which Mr.. Wild brought the
work to close called forth an ova-
ton and demands for encores which
the artist satisfied after many re-
calls.
The pure melodies of Wagner
paved the way to the concerto and
filled the air with gorgeous music.
The operate overture to "Rienzi"
served as a brilliant introduction to
the program dedicated to Wagner
and Rachmaninoff. Written on an
Italian subject, the opera glorifies
the last of the Roman tribunes,
Rienzi, defender of the lowly against
the overbearing aristocracy. In this
work, contrary to his methods,
Wagner subordinates the orchestra
to the singers in the stage perform
ance However, the overture is or
chestrated in his best style and con-
tains the finest vocal excerpts of the
opera. Mr.. Mitchell gave it a
rhythmically expressive and tonally
effective reading. The overture was
followed by "Preludes to Acts I and
III" of "Lohengrin," "Traeme" and
"Vorspiel and Liebestod" from
Tristan and Isolde" and the "Ride
Of the Valkyries" from die
Walkuere."
There was less coordination be-
tween the amplification and the
performance than noticed on previ-

ous occasions. 1t does not take
much to spoil effects If not closely
following or knowing the intentions
Of the conductor. How successful
assistance can be lent an orchestra
without score or minute instruc-
tions on paper is not quite clear. 1t
would take an unusually efficient
and sensitive person to know pre-
cisely what is in the conductor S
mind Subtle effects, the mere
breath of sound in the opening
measures of "Lohengrin, the rise
and fall in the excerpts from
Tristan and Isolde" and many
other instances were marred either
by too much volume, the careless
blurring of the middle voices or not
enough amplification given orches-

500 New Homes Each Hour
lis Building Industry's Goal

Six hundred new homes each hour
is the production goal of the build
ing industry by September 5. when
National Home Week will be OBJ
served throughout the country.
Frank w. Cortright, executive
vice president of the National Asso-
citation of Home Builders, estimated
that more than 19O, 900 homes were
started during May and June.
Based on a 40-hour week, this
means nearly $50 homes per hour,
considerably above the 401 per hour
average last year, Mr.. Cortright de-
clared.

Two Housing Projects

A subcommittee Of the Senate
Committee on Banking and Cur
rency today was considering the fate
of slowe and Carver Halls, defense
housing projects, which are being
sought by Howard University and
the Booker T. Washington Birth
place Memorial.
At q hearing yesterday, the Hous-
ing and Rents Subcommittee also
heard request that the two build
ings-Slowe at 1919 Third street
NV. and Carver at 211 Elm street
N.W.-be combined into a perma-
nent residence for colored Govern
ment girls.
Legislation introduced by Senator
Barley, Democrat. of Kentucky,
would convey the halls to Howard,
and bill by Senator Capper. Re-
publican, of Kansas, would turn
them over to the memorial for use
as a national institute Of industrial
training for Negro youth. including
Negro veterans Of the last war, who
because of limited education are not
eligible for college training benefits
under the CT Bill.
Need For Space Cited.
Dr.. Mordecai w. johnson, presi-
dent Of Howard University, cited
the university's distressing" need
of additional dormitory space in
urging the transfer to Howard.
He said If the two halls, where 100
Howard students now live, were
disposed of otherwise, Howard would
have 2,400 out-of- town students who
could not be accommodated in
dormitories under university SUPER
vision.
DR.. johnson pointed out the dor

modate 504 students under desirable
