Performance With Phi|odeIphions

Although the ensemble was I'M

seem somewhat heavy. Nor did

to it that could make it completely
part of the instrumental whole.
The musicians under Mr.. Or

in every instance. One of the
finest moments was the playing
of first cellist, Elsa Hilger, of the
cello solo in the Andante. She

The gem of the program. how

The conductor outdid himself in
the beauty of his Interpretation

splendid group of musicians re-
sponded to the finese of his plan
with superior artistry. They stood

Solomon, one of Britain's fore
most pianists, played the Brahms
Concerto No. 2 in B fat Major"
with the Philadelphia Orchestra
last night and won an ovation for
performance that was execp-
tional. The local debut of this
artist, whose intriguing use of a
single name aroused curiosity as
to what the rest might be, proved
to be one of the most important
of the season. for his is a rare
musical personality. The first ap-
pearance of an artist or the pre-
miere of a composition are high
lights of any program but Eugene
Ormandy, the Philadelphians' re-
nowned conductor, presented both
to his Constitution Hall audience.
Besides introducing Solomon, he
gave first local hearing to Will
liam Schuman's Symphony No. g."
The Symphony" is one of the
most notable to come from the pen
of a contemporary composer. 1t
is austere but not angular. The
wealth of ideas move forward in
straight line and with an unre-
lenting urge. The remarkable
fact about this symphony is that
the structure never weakens and,
at many points, the individuality
of treatment is bold and imagina-
tive. The first movement is mill
tant, closing with a complicated
land original Fugue. An example
of the several striking sections is
the violin theme over a running
figure in the celli.
The beginning of the Chorale is
somewhat monastic in character,
given a more worldly guise in the
melodic passages by the flute, and
the work ends with a brilliant
Toccata. thoroughly modernistic
in style. The clarity of Mr.. Or
mandy's reading and the varia-
tons of standings and tempt were
superb mediums of embellishments
and if the full content of the
symphony is not grasped easily,
| it's strength and worth was i'm
pressed on the audience.
The pianists who understand the
Iinnermost depths of Brahms ma
ture are few and far between.
Solomon is one of the few. Seldom
has so much melting tenderness
been made to run through the diff
ficult Concerto No. g." or such
bright touches been applied to its
robustness. The pianist's feather
light fingers produce tone con-
stantly arresting for its eloquence
and in passage work. IS liquid a
sound as running water. All this
applied to the expression of
Brahms himself in this compost
ton revealed the full measure Of
the composers poetic soul.
solomon's magnificent technique
is secondary to his sensitivity in
performance. It seems as If he
plays more for himself than for
the audience and his facial ex-
preston reflects his own enjoy
ment. Perhaps, because he is an
artist who inmerses himself in the
sentiment of a composition. he
falls somewhat short in the eli
mactic moments. There was plenty
of power sprinkled through the
first movement. yet 1t had a vel
vetiness in it that somehow soft
ened the effect. The Andante was
exquisite in its lyric reflection and
the final Allegretto utterly charm
ing in the swift, lightness of the
pianist's execution. Solomon is a

|rate Ship Radiomen
AGAIN Threaten Tieup
On Wage Board Issue

The Wage Sterilization Board
has turned down two motions to
let 1850 ship radio operators have
a pay raise of $50 to $50 monthly
but says the action is not final.
Angered by these actions. the
radio operators. members of the
CIO American Radio Association,
have threatened a walkout on all
coasts. The union says this would
tie UP 10 per cent of United States
merchant shipping, except for
critical military and defense car
goes.
Emil Rieve, labor member of
the Wage Board. told reporters he
moved last night that the board
allow the increase but that his
motion lost, 8-4.
{The board has 18 members
six representing labor. six indus
try and six the public-but usually
only II votes are recorded.
Second Motion Lost.
:. Mr.. Rieve said second motion
by the public members lost on a
vote with labor members in oppo-
sition because the proposal was
to approve the increase as of Oc-
tober 10, rather than as of last
June Is. when the contract ex-
pired.
Earlier, board spokesman
had told reporters the board had
taken no final action. Asked
about that, Mr.. Rieve said the ac-
tion was not necessarily final but
"as OF right now the increase has
been rejected"
The proposed boost is on top of
a 60 per cent wage increase al
ready okayed by the board to
make up for living costs advances.
With that increase, the ship radio
officers average 1852 monthly.
Ship owners agreed to the $39-
a-month increase but, under the
stabilization program. it cannot
be made effective without Wage
Board approval.
Renewed Tieup Threat.
Even before Mr.. Rieve told of
the rejected motions. reports of
them had circulated and brought
talk from union Vice President
Philip O'Rourke in San Francisco
OF nationwide tieup.
Mr., O'Rourke said his report on
the WSB attitude came from
Bernard Smith, ARA secretary
treasurer in New York. who quoted
ARA President William Steinberg
and shipowners.
In view of the WSB's action. 1"
Mr.. ORourke said, I'VE might as
well negotiate ourselves into the
bay and tie stones around our
necks.
There's something rotten +.
someplace."
If tieup does occur, Mr..
O'Rourke promised it wouldn't t
affect vessels carrying military

had a similar severe attack two
years ago. He was brought to
South Highland Infirmary for
treatment about 10 days ago.
A star quarterback under Knute
