TODAY' MUSICAL TREAT BY SYMPHONY Stokowski Magnetic Conductor at Matinee Musicale at National Theater PILGRIM PROGRAM Immense Crowd Gathers For Second Appearance Of Phil&delphians. The second concert of this season by the Philadelphia Orchestra ?? given at the New National Theater yesterday afternoon under the local management of T. Arthur Smith. So great waa the demand for seats that extra rows were placed In the orchestra pit. Leopold Stokowski. that most magnetic of conductors, had selected "A Pilgrim Vision." by John Alden Carpenter, of Chicago, for the opening number. This orchestral number was composed especially for the Philadelphia celebration of the tercentenary of the Mayflower landing and had Its flrst performance at this orchestra's concerts last month in Philadelphia. Carpenter did not write to please the ear with melodic sensuoosnew. He waa writing to present the struggles of our ancestors with their brave little boat against the eea. The sentiment by which It waa permeated and characterised was appropriately expressed at the outset by the hymn tune "Old Han* dred." played on the organ without orchestral accompaniment. This theme is reiterated by the orchestra with thematic variations and harmonic developments. They indicate the dangers of the sea and express the feelings of the voyagers, and constitute a striking and recognisable picture of the episode to which it relates. Brahms- double concert for violin. cello and orchestra. Op. 102. was given with Thaddeus Rich, concert master, and Michel Penha. flrst 'cellist. In this composition Brahms reverts to something like the older type of concerto, in which several instruments, forming what was called the "concertino." were opposed to the full orchestra. The two solo Instruments are used for the most part in this way and the frequent use of double-stopping on both instruments produced an ellKl as if a string quartette were alternating with the orchestra. After the intermission Wagners prelude to "Lohengrin" and his overture and Venusburg music from "Tannhauser" (Paris version) were gfven. The former composition takes for its subject the descent of the Holy Grail, the mysterious symbol of the Christian faith, and the Grail motive is the key to the whole composition. Tannhauser-s love for Elisabeth and his yielding to the influences of \ enus are related .n the closing number the music of which, written by Wagner in Paris after the opera had been produced, is sometime* called the "Parisian Bacchanale. The entire program demonstrated again the wonderful control Stokowski has over his men and his ability as a program maker. RED^CROSSBRANCH TO CHANGE NAME In the closing session of a twoday conference 300 chapter delegates of the Red Cross passed a resolution yesterday asking that the central committee approve the retention of the present roll-call dates of the organisation?from Armistice Day to Thanksgiving. ? . , This resolution was the first ot seven, presented by the resolutions committee, following open discussion of policy in administration of the peace time program of the Ked ^^ther resolutions adopted provided for the changing of the name of Auxiliary Service to "Red Cross Volunteer Service."
