Turntoble Talk

Eighty-two years ago an
event called the Worlds Peace
Jubilee and dInternational I
Musical Festival was held in
Boston allegedly to celebrate
the end Of the Franco-Prussian
War. and among the features
was a performance of the
Anvil Chorus" by an orchestra
of 1000. a chorus of 10000,
military bands, bells. cannons
and 100 anvils hammered by
100 members of the Boston
fire department.
A new record from Victor
commentaries this incredible
occasion. Fortunately, though,
it omits the anvil chorus and
concentrates on another aspect
of the festival. which was the
presence of Johann Strauss
to conduct some of his own
music. Rather than such
monstrosities as 100 anvils, it
was repeatedly the Viennese
waltz king who captivated the
Bostonians. and one can only
wish such an experience could
be duplicated today. But. even
though it can't do that, Vic
tors record is a sparkling af-
fair. Arthur Fielder and the
Boston Pops, who devote much
of their energies to Strauss,
have revived some of the pieces
Strauss himself led in Boston,
and they make delightful
listening, especially those one
doesn't often hear such as the
"Bijouterie" and Bouquet"
quadrilles, the ''Kreuz Fidel"
and "Freikugeln" polkas and
another polka called IS giebt
nur elm Kaiserstadt."
What makes this disc, called
"Mr. Strauss Goes to Boston,"
more particularly worthy of
mention is Victor's truly strik-
ing engineering work, which
probably will make this ebull-
lent music seem more alive
in any ones living room than
you have ever thought it could
be. The bass drum ins the
Bouquet Quadrille," at high
volume, is enough to take your
breath away. Victor's claims
of high fidelity are no longer
just ballyhoo.
Spirited Cote
The Fielder forces give SINH
lar high-spirited treatment to
Offenbach's familiar "Gaite
Parisienne" on another new
Victor disc. which also includes
Meyerbeer's Lies Patineurs." a
piece in much the same gay
vein.

Paul Galloway spent last
week in New York in charge of
the initial rehearsals Of Mo-
zart's "Cosi fan tutte," which
will be presented January IL
In the regular Even Series of
the National Symphony in
Constitution Hall, and the next
afternoon in a special concert
in Lisner Auditorium. Soloists
are Phyllis Curtin and Bar
bara Gibson, sopranos; Jane
bson. contralto; David
Lloyd, tenor; and Kenneth
Smith and Mac Morgan, BARI
tones. The chorus is the Wash
ington Chamber Chorus.
Public acceptance of the Ma
tional Symphony's simple but
perhaps unique novelty is
awaited by musicians and
opera lovers alike, for if it is
a success there seems no good
reason why the symphony will
not continue the production of
opera. I call this presentation
Of "Cosi fan lutte" unique, be-
cause while concert versions of
opera are not unusual in the
repertoire of symphony or
chestras, I have heard of no
other instance where the roles
were sung from memory, and
acted in costume, and the
production staged with the
requisite props.
The Galloway production
will differ from the conven-
tional opera house staging in
two particulars: The orchestra
will be not in the pit but on
the stage, and there will be no
scenery. as distinct from stage
props. The plan is to move
the orchestra diagonally to
one side Of the large stage to
allow room for an acting
stage. Anticipation of the per-
Torrance is whetted by the
reflection that although there
are other symphony orchestras
the equal of the National
Symphony, 1t would be impos-
sible to find in this country a
pit opera orchestra equally
capable OF the brilliancies and
delicacies of the Mozart score.
Scenery Unimportont
Scenery is of less Importance
in "Cosi" than in other major
Mozart works. The festival
production at Salzburg this
year used only a single stylized
set of a stairway, benches and
tables. There was no curtain.
The action of the first scene
OF the opera takes place in a
tavern; the other scenes are
In the villa of the ladies, and
while it is possible to imagine
different, rooms, a garden.
and so on, such differentia-
tion is by no means necessary.
The management of the Ma
tional Symphony, in trying
something new, and sensing
that if there is a genuine en-
thusiasm for opera in WASH.
1ngton, it is one that has in
frequent opportunity to effer-
Vesce, has spared neither ex-
Spense nor trouble in making
its experiment one that will
require no apology. It would
be difficult to select a better
cast to measure up to the de-
mands not only of the arias
but of the concerted numbers
which require the presence of

Of . chamber music player.
Popularity Is Recent
Until the past 20 or 80 years
"Cosi fan lutte" has not had
the popularity enjoyed by the
other principle Mozart operas.
The story lacks the tragic
grandeur of "Idomeneo," the
folksy charm Of die Entfuh-
rung," the social iconoclasm
of lie Nozze di Figaro the
romantic appeal of Don Gio-
vanni," and the religious
fervour and pageantry of die
zauberfiote." Even La Gle
menza di Tito" now staged
only infrequently, at one time
was a great favorite, perhaps
because of its formal restraint
dIlQ CldSSlClSI1.
The libretto of Cost is itself
a frivolous satire on the ten
der passion of love and the
ravages of jealousy. It gives
Mozart at the end Of his
career as a composer; of opera
buffa an opportunity to create
a series of characters with at
the same time all the conven-
tional foibles and graces Of
the characters in La Fontaine
and the human earthiness' of
Balzac. It is perhaps well that
popular recognition came late,
after the other operas were a
part Of the music lovers frame
OF reference, since allusion
and parody are nowhere more
skillfully used by Mozart than
here.
Glyndebourne-Inspired
Though the opera was by no
means unknown at the time,
it was doubtless the unparal-
leled performances of the
Glyndebourne Opera Company
starting in the middle 30s
that is the source of the pres
ent high esteem in which the
work is held. Glyndebourne
was the happy fusion of the
talents of a millionaire by the
name of Christie with a beau
tiful country estate 40 or SO
miles south of London, q pen
chant for Wagner, a wife,
Audrey Mildmay, with a stun
ming soprano voice, and a
friend. Fritz Busch, the con-
ductor. Busch tried, with COM
plete success, to supplant Wag-
ner by Mozart in his patrons
affections. The result was an
annual series of five Mozart
operas (works by other COM
posers were added later) that
has set the standard of per-
formance in our day.
The last time Washington
heard "Cosi fan tutte"-and
it is possible that it was the
only time-was in 1896 or
1887. when a company whose
name I can neither remember
nor discover brought a New
York production to Constitu-
tion Hall for several perform
ances.

feed efficiency are equally as good
or better. The beaks grow back
but are still blunt at eleven
weeks of age when the broilers
are sold.
'Rough-looking" cocks of broil-
ers resulting from feather-picking
are usually sold at a lower price
and are down-graded in the pro-
cessing plant. Poor ventilation,
poor feeding practices, unbalanc-
ed rations, and crowding are all
factors that contribute to feather
pulling. While debeaking cannot
take the place of good manage
ment, it will help.
Debeaking of laying hens and
turkeys has been common prac-
tice for years; but debeaking of
baby chicks was started in this
area less than a year ago.

Broiler strain Tests
On Display at Field Day

A new efficiency yard stick for
the broiler industry broiler
strain testing experiment-will be
on display August A during Farm
Field Day at the University of
Delaware Agricultural Substation,
Georgetown.
The experiment is designed to
bring all broiler strains together
for comparison. Birds on test will
be 10 weeks old at the time OF
Field Day. The tests will show
gross weight and feed efficiency.
There are 5000 birds in 20
pens from 10 breeders, mostly
from Delaware. Each breeder
supplied three cases of eggs, all
of which were Matched in the
same incubator. From these eggs
SIG chicks were used in duplicate
pens of 408 each. Chicks were
banded and reared under identical
conditions. The broilers are fed
the Delaware Nutrition Council
formula and each bird is given
three-quarters square foot of floor
space.
The broilers now on test are
the first of three trials. The Sec
ond trial begins in September and
the third in December. The birds
are weighed every two weeks and
feed conversion figures are COM
piled. Sample birds from each
pen will be dressed and graded at
the end of each trial.
Strains now on test, to be
shown at Field Day, are as fol-
lows: Indian River-Lancaster, Ar
Dor Acre White Rocks from Sag
lilo, Nichols Cross No. 412, Stur-
tevant's White Cross, Cobb's

ant. If the pasture does not have
running water it may be neces-
sary to pipe it to the pasture.
Otherwise, the cows should be
brought to the barn or other
source for water during the mid
die of the day.
Hot, muggy weather is hard on
cows, especially if they have to
lie in an open field in the hot sun
during the heat of the day. If the
pasture does not have shade it is
advisable to bring the cows into
the barn during the heat of the
day or turn into another lot that

ting their bills clipped before
leaving the hatchery, according to
Silas McHenry, assistant Exten-
sion poultry specialist at the Uni
versity of Delaware. "Debeaking''
as it is called, has reduced the
amount of feather-picking and
cannibalism, thereby improving
the quality and appearance of the
birds when marketed.
An electric debeaker with a
special attachment is used to re-
move about one-third of both
beaks. The operation is painless,
since the tip of the beak is made
of the same material as a per-
