News Of Music
By Alice Eversmon

About a year-and-a-half be-
fore he died, George Gershwin
was soloist with the National
Symphony Orchestra, playing
his Concerto in F Major" Last
night, his great friend and inter-
prefer, Oscar Levant, gave the
Concerto as his first solo on
the National Symphony program
with Howard Mitchell conduct
ing. Mr.. Levant is one of the
most popular soloists the Sym
phony ever had. and his frequent
appearances have guaranteed al
ways the capacity audience that
filled Constitution Hall last night.
Levant has never played better.
There were fewer manneriSmS
than usual and the performance
of the Concerto" and later the
Rhapsody in Blue" was suave
and finely nuanced. Other pian-
lists, such as Granger and San
roma, have polished these works
up with artistic touches. but Mr..
Levant's presentation must rank
as the most authentic, following
the composers exact ideas as
he heard them given out many
times.

output remains the opera, "Porgy

picture" made from it by Robert
Russell Bennett is a valuable
contribution to the orchestral
literature. DR.. Mitchell gave II
a wealth of effects and the tone
of the orchestra, the elasticity
and fire in the performance, has

ACC May Include Virginia
In Basketball Season
By the Associoted Pres.

CHARLOTTE. N. c., Nov. g.
Virginia may become a playing
member of the Atlantic Coast
Conference with the start of the
basketball season next month.
When the ACC met last Au-
gust it ruled that it would op-
crate as a Seven-member or
ganization until the annual
spring meeting in May. This
left the door open for an eighth
school to be brought into the
conference, but meant it would
not be an active member this
year. Virginia became tn e
eighth school on October 9.
Faced with the undesirable
prospect of a seven-team bas-
ketball tournament next March.
some conference members are
considering resembling that Au-
gust action at the December 4
Greensboro meeting. Virginia
could be made an active member
as of that date and be eligible
for the basketball tournament.
