Orchestra to Play American Numbers

     Featuring Bruckner's seventh symphony in commemoration of the centenary of his birth, the Philadelphia Orchestra, under the leadership of Leopold Stokowski, has a purely orchestral programme for its thirteenth pair of concerts on Friday afternoon and Saturday evening. Two American numbers and one French work constitute the remainder of the offerings, the native composers being Henry Joslyn and Henri Eichheim, and the French composer, Gabriel Pierne.

     Anton Bruckner was an imposing figure in nineteenth century music, and the hundredth anniversary of his birth, which occurred last September, has been widely celebrated abroad. The dirge contained in the adagio of his seventh symphony is his most celebrated page. Written in 1883, shortly after the death of Richard Wagner, it was intended by the composer to honor the master whom he idolized. The full score is dedicated to Wagner's patron, King Ludwig II of Bavaria. The first performance took place a little more than forty years ago, on December 30, 1884, under the baton of Nikisch. The performance at these concerts is the first by the Philadelphia Orchestra.

     continues its return engagement here. While the character of Moses has appeared before in Bible films, this is the first depiction on an elaborate scale, of dramatic events leading up to the founding of the Hebrew nation and the giving of the Law from Mount Sinai. The Bible scenes are a one-hour introduction to a dramatic tale of the application of the Ten Commandments to modern life. Scenes of the Exodus show the freed Israelites pouring out the city of Rameses with their flocks and herds. Led by Moses and Joshua, they cross the Egyption desert to the Red Sea. Pharaoh's chariots and fighting men are shown in parallel action, pursuing. Though the murmurers say: "Hast thou brought us out of Egypt to die in the Wilderness?" Moses points the path of deliverance where the Lord has swept back the waters by an East wind, permitting the Israelites to pass through dryshod. The sequence and the subsequent one of the engulfing of Pharaoh's host are shown in natural colors by the technicolor process. [... drei weitere Kinos ...]." (°°).
