News of Music Book of Kindler Programs Recounts 18 Seasons of Musical Progress

By Alice Eversman The volume containing the pro-

grams the late Hans Kindler gave during his years as conductor of the National Symphony, recently put out, represents one of the finest records of cultural progress in this city. The book lists only the programs of the regular se-

ries given in Constitution Hall and covers the period from the crea- tion of the orchestra in 1931 to the end of the 1949 season. There were many more, designed to reach various groups, and some that stimulated in a special way interest in contemporary music, but these are not included in this compilation, made by Prances Nash Watson, Harold A. Brooks and John Russell Mason.

At first glance the pages may seem rather a staid listing of works, old and new, played during 18 seasons with the participation of guest artists and guest conduc- tors. But underneath, and through them, runs a stoiy, re- markable in its revealing quali- ties, that has to do with a leader and a public that longed for the finest music. Sometimes opti- mism can be felt as clearly as If put into words, and again, the pe- riods of hard going are poignantly evident. There is still a stir of ex- citement as to what some season offered and the traces are there of the effect of changing values and the trend of the times. But in the cold print that records these labors of many years, there is al- ways a forward movement toward bigger ends. The human interest angle stands out prominently.

First Program Prophetic. In a way, the first program on

Monday afternoon, November 2, 1931, Is both pathetic and pro- phetic. It was simple, listing as

major work the Beethoven “Sym- phony No. 5.” There stands also Hans Kindler's first of many musi- cal donations to the symphony he founded; the “Three Dutch Tunes of the 16th Century,” which were “arranged for and dedicated to the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington, D. C.” With that bold gesture, he placed the sym- phony on the musical map. Con- certs in those early years were held on Sunday afternoons at 4 and on Thursdays at 4:45 p.m.

The symphony had really ar- rived as a cultural and social force in the 1936-37 season when the Wednesday night series was inaugurated. In previous years, an evening concert was given oc- casionally, as the first of the sec- ond season when John Powell’s “Natchez on the Hill” had its local premiere, and the program on December 29, 1932, when the Music Teachers’ National Asso- ciation, in convention here, was

| honored. During that season, the public had its first taste of Soviet

| music when Mossolov’s noisy “Iron Foundry” was played twice.

1934-35 saw the beginning of the all-Wagner and all-American programs and a significant para- graph on the final page reads: “Next Concert—Probably June 16 at the Water Gate on Potomac River. Watch newspapers for defi- nite annpuncement.” One of the most important events of the fol- lowing season was the appearance of George Gershwin as soloist in his “Concerto” and as conductor of his “Porgy and Bess” Suite. Shostakovich came into the reper- toire then with his "Symphony No. 1.”

Paul Whiteman in 1937. More innovations than the

transfer of concerts to Wednesday night took place in 1936-7. That

year the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo started the long participa- tion of ballet in the orchestra’s seasons. Paul Whiteman, as guest conductor, presented one of the merriest programs that year with Deems Taylor providing live pro- gram notes in his inimitable man- ner. All-Beethoven, all-Mozart, all-Russian. all-American and all- French programs spread through the series.

A Beethoven festival of three concerts, ending with the perform- ance of the “Ninth Symphony,” highlighted 1937-8. It was the first of several, the great com-

poser’s name sometimes linked with Bach, Brahms and Sibelius. By this time, half of the Sunday series was called “Beloved Sym- phonic Masterpieces” and in 1941- 2, it became “Great Masterworks Series,” featuring some great sym- phonic work. In that season also, are to be found the first asterisks denoting the Victor recording of Chadwick’s “Noel” and Brahms’ “Symphony No. 3” and from Feb- ruary on the important announce- ment: “The National Symphony records exclusively for Victor.”

In 1942-3 the first air-raid and blackout rules took prominent place in the programs and the following year, new war-inspired works featured at many concerts. A gala occasion was the 1,000th j concert on March 4, 1945, when Grace Moore was soloist and that year records, as well, Dr. Kindler’s first Latin American tour as guest conductor. The ominous an-1 nouncement in 1940 that “The Board of Directors regrets that it is unable to announce an orchestral season for 1940-1” was one of the rough spots that fortu- nately led to nothing. From that time on, the National Symphony blossomed out as a real protagonist of contemporary music and a

guardian of the old. riayea Nearly suu composers. Close to 300 composers are rep-

resented in this registry of mu- sical achievement and nearly 175 soloists of various kinds assisted the orchestra in their presenta- tion. During the years, 37 con- ductors wielded the baton in major or minor assignments. Wagner leads the composers in frequency of performance, the 145 appearances of his name out- ranking the 99 of Beethoven, the 90 of Mozart, 82 of Tschaikowsky, 64 of Brahms, 61 of Bach with Strauss reaching the half-hun- dred mark, closely followed by Sibelius at 40. There were around 85 Washington premieres of works and nearly 60 world premieres in the 18 seasons.

The last concerts of the 1946-7 season were directed by How- ard Mitchell, due to Dr. Kindler’s illness. The end of the next year finds Dr. Kindler’s name heading the programs as musical director and that of Mr. Mitchell who made his debut as cello soloist with the orchestra in 1937, as associate conductor. This was the end of the long, rugged road Dr. Kindler started on in 1931. Aside from the human factors that make the reading of the programs an engrossing affair, there is the splendid record of constant prog- ress, alertness as to what is new in music and the development of the ensemble as a means of pre- senting it. During those 18 sea- sons, Dr. Kindler saw to it that the American composer was rec- ognized and that the classics were made known fully. How brilliant and broad these aims were could only be completely revealed in another volume.

Madeira Artists In Gallery Program

T elevision—Radio By Wallace E. Clayton

wun "Kuicia, Fran ana ume back with further adventures of all the wonderful Kuklapolltans, it would seem appropriate to pass along a little background on the show which attracts as many adults as children to the TV screen around 7 o’clock of a week- day evening.

The man behind the show, of course, is Burr Tillstrom, a pup- peteer who made Kukla for a friend several years ago. Came time to mail the little puppet, and Tillstrom found he just couldn’t part with the wistful lit- tle figure. This was surely the smartest thing he ever did. *

To keep Kukla company, Till- strom created Ollie the dragon, and Mme. Ophelia Ooglepuss, the faded opera star. Soon the three —or four, if you want to count Tillstrom—were doing shows at the New York World's Fair.

After the war, and a rapid de- velopment of television which caught the networks with very lit- tle in the way of entertainment lined up for the new medium, Till- strom was asked to do a show for a new Chicago TV station. That was about the time—1947, re- member? — when almost every other TV program was a puppet show.

But Tillstrom and Executive Producer Beulah Zachary, were

trying to build a puppet show which would be a permanent TV attraction, not something just to fill in time until top stars of radio became convinced video was here to stay, and sponsors could be convinced it was worth paying the costs of said top stars.

Their success, of course, can best be measured by their high ratings in audience surveys.

Fran, who has been with the show from the outset, is Fran Allison, who you may have heard in years past on such Chicago- originated radio shows as the Breakfast Club.

The scattered laughter you hear on the shows comes from the technical crews, who are as enter- tained as any one else by the un- rehearsed remarks made by the

i Kuklapolitans. * * * *

The latest attempt by a self- appointed censor to' blacklist a

radio star because of purported Red sympathies has met with little success to date.

This time, the criticism was leveled at Gypsy Rose Lee, some- time strip tease artist and detec- tive story author. Monday, the chairman of the Illinois American Legion’s Anti-Subserversive Com- mittee wired officials of the Amer- ican Broadcasting Co. that Miss Lee, about to start a new radio show, was a “close associate of traitors of our country,” and added, “What are you going to do about it?”

In effect, ABC replied, “Noth- ing—without proof.” Officials said Miss Lee signed a sworn affidavit denying any Red sympa- thies. They invited the Legion official to submit proof of his charges. At this writing, he had not been heard from.

The council of the AFL Actors Equity Association, meanwhile, has denounced “irresponsible smearing of actors’ reputations to an extent which is becoming alarmingly dangerous.”

The witch hunt of the air waves started a couple of weeks ago, when a big food corporation bowed to a handful of telegrams and letters and ordered actress Jean Muir off the “Aldrich Fam- ily” television show. The critics of both Miss Muir and Miss Lee quoted as their authority a pri- vate publication, “Red Channels” which lists 150 stars as being Communist sympathizers.

Some praise for Charlie and Gene Jones, 25-year-old twins who left local papers to become TV photographers for the Na- tional Broadcasting Co. in Korea, comes from the network.

Pointing out that TV photog- raphers have to get very close to their subjects lest the resulting picture will look like nothing more than a wide-angle shot of space on the video screen, NBC says the Jones boys have been getting

closer tnan would be considered comfortable to several battles.

They recently took the first news films ever shot from jet fighters in combat.

Gene describes the last few sec- onds of a rocket run like this;

“As you pull up, the camera is knocked back in your lap, your head falls between your knees, everything goes gray-black and you weigh about 600 pounds. You manage to push into an upright position and you find you’re at 8,000 feet, have gone another 20 miles and the pilot’s voice is yell- ing to get set for aonther run.”

You Washington residents who witnessed the Columbia Broad- casting System’s public color TV demonstrations here last year have become the basis of a report put out by the network boasting of its achievements.

According to the question- naire filled in by 12,000 of you, 85 per cent found the over-afl quality “excellent” or “very good”; an- other 13 per cent said the color- casts were “good,” and only 2 per cent termed them “fair” or “poor.”

A plea—or rather a demand— for more religious programs on TV has been made by the Rev. Everett C. Parker, director of the Protestant Radio Commission.

"The churches will not be de- nied access to the people of Amer- ica through this medium of tele- vision which is, in truth, a gift of God,” he said in a recent speech at the Fifth Annual Re-

ligious Radio Workshop at Tem- ple University. “We will not bow before the demands that soap and cigarettes be first in people’s thinking.”

WWDC unveils a satirical gag tomorrow whirh sounds like it might be amusing.

The station, which depends on lecorded music, news and spots results during most of its 24 hours of daily operation, is planning to take a few slaps at the soap operas and impossible whodunits heard on some other stations.

Utilizing the time given “sta- tion breaks,” WWDC will present brief recordings with typical soap- opera introductions, sound effects and dramatic background music. With the listener’s expectation built up to hearing another pro- gram about a “typical” family with nothing more than a murder, two cases of arson and one bank robbery to contend with, an an- nouncer will break in with, “You won't hear it on WWDC.”
