the age of 16; winner of a gold med-

al for musicianship and ‘possessor | . of an Amati violin presented by an}

‘admiring faculty. Affer several concert tours, she won first place in a - competition which enabled her to study for three years with Ysaye. Later she appeared in. several sonata with the master pianist, Josef Hof-

i Curtis Faculty Member Mme. United States in 1925. Since that time she has appeared as soloist four - times with the Philadelphia Orchestra, three times with the. Cincinnati Symphony, and also has played with the orchestras in Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and Cleveland. - She has the added distinction of being the only woman on the Curtis Institute violin faculty. For her Indianapolis appearance at the concerts tomorrow afternoon and Saturday evening; she has chosen the G Minor Concerto by Bruch. Not the least of the coming program’s attractions will be the first Beethoven symphony of the season. Mr. Sevitzky has chosen the Symphony No. 8 to begin the concert.This work stands between the Seventh and Ninth. Symphonies as the Fourth stands between the “Eroica” and ‘the Fifth. - Both are rather quiet. episodes in ‘the course of ep- . ochal musical achievements.

~~ American Composition The Eighth also is set apart from . the other symphonies by the un- ~ troubled good humor of the entire composition. 2 The -allegretto, of course, is interesting because of the story that it is based 1 upon-a. canon. {All by Maelzel, and; that: its: steady rhythm: is an imitation of Maelzel's metronome. And it ‘is interesting further to note that this is the only symphony in which Beethoven replaced the Scherzo with the classic Minuet of Mozart and Haydn. The new American composition’ will be a movement from Arthur Shepherd’s suite, “Horizons,” called “The "Lone Prairee.” ' The movement’s theme is based. upon. - the g usually ‘called

on‘an older ballad called’ “The Sea Burial.” = Mr. Shepherd also made use of frontier songs in the suite's third movement, which contains “The Old Chisholm Trail’ and “The Dogie Song.”

Members of "Cafe Society"

Have Replaced

Four Hundred as Elite of City.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6—~The social hierarchy now is stuck with the pat

phrase, “Cafe Society.”

Those who sit at tables and sip vintage wines,

‘take precedence in the breezy columns over those who endow nursing homes and christen yachts at Newport News. And if you rate a ringside table

at El Morocco, you have won your letter on Park Avenue, And never

mind about your pilgrim ancestors having come over on the Mayflower. The term, “Cafe Society” has come to embrace all those reveling sons and daughters who prowl about after dark in El Morocco, the Stork Club, La Conga and the “21” Club. In all, this cavorting set: numbers about 500. And alas, the 500 have replaced “The Four Hundred” in ‘the new social scheme of things. The truth is that “Cafe Society” is concentrated only in the quartet of night clubs aforementioned. They are the four temples of ‘the “elite” and those who recline in them either have entered (or want to enter) ‘Upper Crust Heaven. Of course, not. all the habitues of these night clubs belong to “Cafe Society.” For interlopers, alas, are bound to sneak past any barrier. But ‘headwaiters do ' what. they:

can fo keep “the wheat and: chaff’

‘apart. Sometimes they are helpless against conditions. For example,
