Ab a matter of faet, the composition') for viola nnd orchestra nilclit almost L counted en the fuiKerH of one hauii. First of all en general fuipllinrit.

Hut In this work the lela nlse Is niore in the nature of an obbligute thau u pure sole. Only a few composers liave written for the ieln as a sole instrument, with the nntural result that there is today no outstanding work for the instrument with orchestra. Ferdinand Invid wrote a roMcrtine, Hans Witt, viola pluyer of the Hredsky Quartet, compestd a con certo and ii "concert piece." none of ulilcli . is ever heard, and Mezurt wrote a symphonic ceneertantc for Violin, viola and ercliestia, piebabiy the best work ever written in which the lulu stands as a sole instrument. As the title Indicates, the viola part Is en an exact equality with that of the Molln. T."

"DFT these detects, or, rather, lliuita--LJfiens, of tene have become the M'hlelc of iieculiar beauties, hut they are beauties which show te better ad vantage in ensemble work than in soles. The place where the viola shows at its eest is in clianiber music. Since the days of llujdn there has been but little ndvance in tlie writing for tlie violins and since Hcetlieven iiiiiin at nil either for the violin or for tlie cello. There lias been u tremendous change in style, of course, but the model ns make practically no demands UK)ii these instruments which de net appear in tlie last Ileelheven quartets. Hut the position of tlie iela bus been one of constantly increasing importance. It was Mozart who first assigned te tin' viola a part in ills chamber com positions of equality with that of tins violins or cello. Ileferc his day tlie part of the viola was u r-ither insignificant one as cempnred witli the violin, and melodic passages except In contrapuntal work were extremely rare, ltnt Mozart brought the viola into Its own in or chestral as well as in chamber intwlc, as for cinmple the iel.i figure in tlie first theme of the first movement of the (j ininrii symphenj . Hcetheven went even further in both, although he did net go se far as te give the vieln the mnlu theme of u movement, ns did Dvorak in the first meveinent of th F major quartet or the slew niovo nievo niove ment of the piano quintet. its highest point ns n sole instrument In ensemble, for every resource of the instrument, both alone and in com bination, is used in the most effective way. Nevertheless, the tone which is se beautiful in combination with the oilier strings for short sole passages is net adapted te a long sole either with or chestral or piano accompaniment. COURBOIN GIVES FIRST WANAMAKER RECITAL Armistice Day Marks Opening of Four Great Organ Concerts Charles Courbeln. the Itclginii or ganist, gave tlie fiist of n series of four great organ rccitnls at the Wnnn maker store last evening before an audience which filled nil the available seating capacity of the store. The date hail been set for Armistice Uny, te commemorate the third anni versary of tlie signing of tlie armistice, of the opening of the Ouifi rence for the 1. imitation of Armament and in honor of America's unknown soldier buried In Arlington. Accordingly, Mr. Courbeln selected his program fiem composers of the allied nations and concluded with an improvizntlen of the national nirs of the Allies, ending with the American national anthem. The composers cheen by Mr. Cour Ceur Cour eoln were Cesar l'ranek and Alphense Mnlllj for Helgiuin: Henry S. Frv, of I'hiladelphia. for the 1'nitetl States; Alexandre (Juilinniit, France; William Fuulkes, Kiiglund, und Den I'lig.-lle, Italy.

"Tote" Is n French comedy adapted by Achmcd Abdullah from the original. Ditrichstcin played It all last season In New Yerk and opened tins year in Chicago. He has since been presenting It through the Middle AVest. Tils ether piny, "Face Value," Is n comedy from the Itallnn. He tried it out last summer in Atlantic City. Leng rtmncli.

QUESTIONING a statement made here a few weeks age that "The Hat" expected te break Philadelphia's long-run record of twenty -one weeks. 11 correspondent wants te knew what show hung this record tip. It was William Hedge in "The Man Frem Heme." by Heeth Tnrkingten and Hnrrv I.een Wilsen. It played nt the Adelplil some ten op eleven years age I I'm net sure of the year), running for eighteen weeks, then being forced out for two weeks by another show which had the house booked, and re turning for three weeks. This run was also made at the Adelphi. where "The Hat" ls playing nnrl tlmt eiiciiifement. with "Experi ence" nnd this present rim has earned for tlie Adelphi the title of "The Heuse of Leng Uuns" In the profes sion. "Kxpcrionce" played nineteen weeks. Next week will be the eighth for "The Hat," and It is still crowd ing 'cm in.
