Capacity Audience
Hears Lutte Recital
By EIeno de Soyn

Suzanne Bloch, one Of the few,
if not the only serious exponent OF
the ancient lutte, gave recital in
the Phillips Gallery last night be-
fore an audience which filled the
auditorium and its adjoining room
to capacity. A daughter OF the
famous composer, Ernest Bloch, the
artist had all the opportunities for
a thorough musical education which
eventually crystalized in her abb
sorption in the early forms OF
musical composition. She took up
the study of the lutte on finding a
19-string instrument Of the 17th
century, which she used in connec-
ton with her program.
Interspersing her performance
with comments, after an introduc-
tory talk, Miss Bloch covered
century of musical progress from
the 18th to the 17th centuries on
the lutte, which is not unlike the
Spanish guitar in tonal effect. The
eight selections played gave a good
idea of the gradual development OF
invention and the broadening OF
lines.
But it was her proficiency on the
virginals that infused her per-
Torrance with greater animation.
One does not expect to find virtuo-
sity when recitals are patterned
along educational lines, but when
lit is undeniable, it always comes as
an agreeable surprise. While her
efforts on the lutte were looked upon
In the light Of Illustration, her
playing on the small forerunners
Of the harpischord, the virginals.
gave real pleasure. Especially bril-
liant was her delivery Of Orlando
Gibbons Prelude" q favortte of
Queen Elizabeth, who, according to
Miss Bloch, was considered quite
an artist on this instrument in her
time. Besides the lutte and the vir-
ginals, Miss Bloch introduced Q
soprano and alto recorders, also
songs to the accompaniment of the
lutte touching on French, English,
German and italian musical litera-
lures.

Suddenly Bennie Griffin jammed
on his brakes. The tires squealed
and passersby on the street looked
up. The Ford. skidding on the wet
pavement, almost missed the shiny
black Chevy turning out OF North
Fillmore street. Almost, but not
quite.
According to one witness who ar
rived on the scene few seconds
later, the two drivers got out to look
at the damage. A crowd collected.
1T was a very minor accident,
the witness said. Both cars had
dented tenders, and the radiator of
the Chevy was leaking water onto
the street."
He could hear the drivers arguing
about it angrily as he came up. One
of them was calling the other
names. Suddenly fists few. One Of
the drivers fell to the street as the
crowd surged in.

was lying on the pavement near

and little blood was coming out
Of his mouth. The ambulance then
arrived and took the man away
to Arlington Hospital.
Five days later Audie Carroll was
dead. The charges Of felonious as
sault against Bennie Griffin were
dropped. He was charged with
murder instead.
His attorney, oren Lewis, told a
reporter: He didn't want to kill
Carroll any more than I want to
kill you. What happened to him
might happen to any one-a simple
argument over very trivial acci-
dent. You don't kill people over
a dented fender"
Commemorative Attorney Den
man T. Rucker said the charge
probably would be changed to in
voluntary granddaughter before the
case comes up for trial.
The house on Glebe road was de-
serted when a reporter called there
yesterday. The doors were locked
and the blinds were drawn. Neigh
bors said they had taken Mr.. Carroll
to Chatham, Va, for the funeral.
In the driveway beside the small
brick house stood the dead mans
car. The dent on the left front
fender scarcely had scratched the
shiny black paint.
