offered to lease him the lot at
Fenton street and Roeder road at

ton.

have contained stores on the first
floor and offices on the second
floor.
Neither Mr.. Beck nor his wife
could be reached for comment.

BY Alice Eversmon

The concert by the. National
Symphony Orchestra in Constitu-
ton Hall last night was high
lighted by the Washington pre-
miere of John Powell's Symphony
In A." The program contained
but two works, the Symphony"
which was played first, and the
Beethoven violin concerto in
which Szymon Goldberg was the
SoloiSt. With the concerto, the
Beethoven series in this form,
which Howard Mitchell arranged
to be heard for the first time in
its entirety here, came to an end.
With his latest composition, Mr.
Powell has given a masterpiece to
symphonic literature. There are
several points by which he has
shown the way to enrich the Gre
ative output of native composers.
His choice of folk material as
basic subjects for each movement
is the first point. AS he uses it
in the Symphony" the first sec
ton depicts the spirit of the coun-
try dance, the second. the lyricism
of the folk song. the third the
descriptive qualities of the ballad,
and the fourth, the ritual dance.
His themes are expanded with
magnificent design so that a flow
ering of the simplicity of folk
lore into the complexities of the
symphonic pattern comes about
easily and convincingly.
His material required the en-
ployment of various modes which
he has combined and interviewer
with extraordinary skill. The re-
suit, which can make another
point, is one of great freshness
and vitality proving how mex
haustible are the .life-giving
qualities of folk music. The
symphony" is very long, too long
in some sections. Yet the amazing
part is that never does the lis
tener's interest flag, nor do the
composers creative powers weaken.
The symphony has its mildly dis
sonant passages but the whole is
soft and rounded in contour, rich
ly harmonious to the ear and con-
stantly arresting for its workman
ship.
Mr.. Mitchell led his men with
unabating zeal in the hour-long
performance and they responded
to his directions with a wealth of
finely wrought detail that left
nothing undone to bring out the
beauty of the Symphony" IT
opens with a lavishly planned
Allegro that is followed by a ten
derby conceived Allegretto soste-
nuto. The Adagio is of great and
noble breadth, perhaps too length
lily outlined, although sustaining
its idea logically to the end. The
chorale of the final movement Isl
the most impressive portion Of
the work.
The audience liked it to the ex-i
tent OF applaudlng at the close OF
each division and giving ovational
acclaim at the Symptoms" end.
Mr.. Powell followed the perform
ance absorbedly from a box. then
ran down to the stage to felicitate
the conductor and musicians and
acknowledge the audiences recep-
ton.
Mr.. Goldberg's playing of the
Beethoven Concerto in D Ma
jor." in spite of many excellent
qualities, was uneven. His tone
is pure, steady and refined, and
ne has all the virtuoso's command
Of bow and fingers. The inter-
probation was thought-out, but
its general scheme missed the no.
bility inherent in the concerto.

News of Music
Washington Premiere of Powell Work
Is Presented by National Symphony

The violinist chose cratic tempt,
slowing down unnecessarily at
one moment and speeding up at
another. In melodic phrases he
was inclined to sentimentalize and
took plenty of time to do so. The
opening measures were taken
more swiftly than is customary,
as. were others, where velocity was
called for. Not all of these were
clearly defined either as to pitch,
which frequently was low, or as
to notes. It was a Beethoven per-
Torrance without the vigor and
the largeness Of conception that
an artist Of Mr.. Goldberg's pow
erS should be able to give.
The cold weather did not deter
a good-sized audience from at
tending.

Second Win Over GU
Leaves CIV Happy
with 500 Record
By MerreIl WhittIesey

George Washington has known
for almost month that it had
little chance of qualifying for the
Southern Conference tournament
and when the Colonials were
counted out last week there wasn't
too much disappointment.
In fact, that was a happy bunch
that concluded the season last
night with 74-47 humping of
Georgetown. After all, the Co.
lonials beat Georgetown twice In
one season for the first time in
almost 20 years of a twice-yearly
series. They ran up the biggest
margin they've ever counted over
the Hoyas, and by winning their
last three games they finished the
season with 1912 mark.
Georgetown turned in another
miserable performanace-granted
