Last Monday night the Houston
Symphony proved that it has the
right sort of blood i its veins after
all. The program was half sweet
and half bitter for the pure classic-
ist, but one must admit that the
program as a whole was far super-
ior to that awful one with which
the Symphony launched this season.
The latter half of the program,
while quite light in nature, was an
approach to the type of program
which will please all—it contained
the lightness which is necessary to
offset the weight of the rest of the
program just as a light sherbet goes
well with a heavy meal. The preview
of the next symphony (March 15,)
proved even more interesting, and
it is believed that if the trend con-
tinues, the type of program we have
all wanted will be in the offing to-
ward the end of the season. It is too
bad that we will have to wait so
long!
The orchestra's rendition of the
Brahams Second Symphony was
very good with the glaring excep-
tions of the brasses (I do not count
the horns here because they gave
a good account of themselves
throughout the evening). Mr. Hoff-
man interpreted the symphony in a
pleasing manner and seemed to get
all from the smphony that was real-
ly necessary. The string section was
very clear and brought out the va-
rious melodies and undercux'rents
of tone quite well. The balance of
the orchestra was exceptionally
i|| 1
good in the last movemen, and sincer
the percussion section had been dis-
missed for the entire symphony, all
went very well. Balance means a
lot to a proper rendition, and one
section stands out too much, as for
instance the brasses, the entire ef-
fect is ruined.
The Bach three piano Concerto
was very pleasing and the technique
of the three pianists was good. The
clarity of the presentation allowed
the listener to concentrate on the
music itself rather than the per-
formers. The fact that the concerto
was played in such manner as to call
no attention to any one performer
proved that the individual artistry
was as it should have been. The
three pianists were Miriam F. Lurie,
Virginia Jean, and Mr. Hoffman.
After the intermission, we were
treated to some of Mozart's usual
flowing melody. The three dances
played were very light and in the
true Mozartian style and should
have pleased everyone. Strauss had
his lion's share of glory along with
the brass section which came into
its own in "The Bat," the Artist Life
Waltzes, and the Annen Polka. The
whole series was interpreted in such
a manner as to transplant us to the
Gay Nineties with its concerts in
the park and brass bands, gingham
table cloths and mustached dandies.
Von Suppe's Light Cavalry Overture
gave a stirring, though raucous note
to the conclusion of the evening and
seemed to be well accepted by the
whole audience.
Club flewA.
The Canterbury Club entertained
with a tea dance for a group of El-
lington Field Cadets, Sunday after-
noon frob 3 to 6 at Autry House. A
Valentine decoration scheme was
carried out, and music was fur-
nished by Ken Kridner and his or-
chestra.
The Rice Christian Science Or-
ganization will hold its second meet-
ing of the month Thursday, Febru-
ary 25. Meetings'are held regular-
ly on the second and fourth Thurs-
days of every month. This meeting
as other will be held at Alutry
House, beginning at 7:30 p.m. All
interested are invited.

A Mark of True Sincerity
This mark has become a symbol of the
one ideal—the one dominating creed of
this organization. Sincerity in our efforts
to obtain the finest products our manu-
facturers can produce. And sincerity in
all our dealings with the public. Now
more than evet before, the price on each
piece of Sweeney merchandise must
measure up to that fine standard, "sin-
cere value."
