GRUBER'S JOB. The members of the Garden Club Cincinnati, and all other citizens of this "Queen City of the rejoice that a new Smoke Inspector Mr. Charles W. Gruber has been appointed to that office. His job of course is to see that there are no more smoking chimneys and other such nuisances, similar to those which this city has for generations endured, and whose "garlands dressed," long sung in song and story, are no longer soiled by endless soot as they have been for generations.

The Garden Clubs of this vicinity have long fought, until now, a losing fight for a Smoke Inspector that is one in very truth. Mr. Gruber is an engineer, a Cincinnatian, and an alumnus of the University of Cincinnati. He thus has been well prepared to make of his job of Smoke Inspector, say these expert civic spirits, something which will really rid this "fair city" of its greatest blemish A smoke-filled air which, so say the medics, leave the lungs in a softa coal-blackened condition which, in this day and generation, SO say these wiseacres, appears unnecessary, to say the least! So in anticipation of doing away with "the smoke nuisance" in this part of the lovely Ohio Valley, the Garden Club, and all citizens, rejoice in the prospect of something being done to do away with present smoke conditions. IN HONOR OF FIANCES.

Mr. and Mrs. Edward Weil entertained cocktail Marry, party for their son, Mr. Robert Weil, in honor of Miss Jean Madden and Mr. Jay Carlisle, whose wedding will take place the latter part of this month.

The hospitable Weil house on Dana Avenue was gay with flowers, Mrs. Weil also entertaining later in the evening with a delectable buffet supper for these two popular young people and a group of very close friends who were associated with them in the recent wedding of Miss Erna Huenefeld and Mr. Don Fraser, now on their honeymoon in the Bermudas.

HE Garden Club of Cin cinnati and other important organizations are eagerly awaiting the address on the "Smoke Nuisance' which the new Smoke Inspector, Mr. Charles W. Gruber, is scheduled to give on the radio at 2:45 o'clock tomorrow (Sunday). Mr. Gruber is not only the new appointee to that post, but he is especially fitted, so say the experts in such matters, to fill the role which he has accepted in the civic life of this city.

He is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati and in addition to his other gifts in this connection, is a wellknown civil engineer a fact that makes him doubly efficient in this matter.

Symphony Orchestra in company manner rise to greet the shortish man with bushy hair as he makes his way across the stage of Music Hall. This is Hans Lange, the second guest conductor of the season. He begins the Overture to "Der Freischutz." Soon it becomes evident by his well-regulated, tacular approach to his task that his primary interest lies in the music on the stand before him rather than in the man on the podium. Perhaps his willingness to let Weber, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky speak for themselves supplies the indefinable element which makes this concert so satisfactory on the whole. Here I should like to report in passing that Mr.

Lange has rearranged the seating of the orchestra. The second violin and viola sections have swapped places. All the strings in fact have been men brought do not forward sit so on the closely gether as they did under Jose Iturbi or so far apart as Eugene Goossens places them. Mr. Lange, too, has had some of the platforms reinstalled.

These various seating arrangements produce results which vary little one from another, however. Listing only three items AS It does, the program looks shorter than it is. The Tchaikovsky "Trio to the Memory of a Great Artist," however, which monopolizes the second half of the program runs for 50 minutes or more. It is this work that lends to the concert greatest point of big, interest-and I say this with no intent to belittle either "Der Freischutz" Overture or Beethoven's First Symphony, both of which are more perfect musical creations than Tchaikovsky's. But opportunities of hearing this piece either its original form as a trio or in its arrangement for orchestra seldom come along.

As I have intimated above, Mr. Lange lets the music play, consequently his interpretation Overture to "Der Freischutz" differs in no marked degree from most others that have been handled with intelligence and taste. It is plain, though, that he makes no compromises with the adagio marking of the introduction inasmuch as he takes it very slowly indeed. One of the greatest of living writers about music, and one of the entertaining, Donald Francis Tovey by name, describes Beethoven's First Symphony as a "small and comic sonata for orchestra." This fits so weil that I shall refrain from further descriptive com. ment.

Almost perfectly formed, it consists mainly of an exchange of compliments between the strings and wind instruments. Mr. Lange choses to do with two fewer first violinists than make up the complete section. On principle, this strikes me as a little strange in view of the fact that Beethoven scores rather heavily and in great detail for the winds. Actually, however, Mr.

Lange maintains a balance between these choirs and strings, which seem to make most of their comments in scales. In the third movement, which Beethoven calls a minuet, but which is more like a scherzo, Mr. Lange repeats the first eight Symphony Program The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, with Hans Lange as guest conductor, will present the following program in Music Hall at 8:30 this evening: Overture, Der Freischutz. Weber Symphony No. 1 in Major Beethoven Intermission.

Trio for Pianoforte, Violin. and Violoncello Tchaikovsky (Transcribed for orchestra by Frederick Stock.) HE reunion of the English-Speaking Union on November 21 is looked forward to with special interest, Mr. Mark Haight's presentation of "English Inns" being a notable contribution to the information, as well as to the experience of viewing by means of many photographs, the details and charm of this ingratiating subject. Announcements to this effect will be in the mails on Saturday next. ALREADY a very vivid and wide-spread interest has been aroused in the WelD lesley Club's gala theatre party which has been set for Monday evening, November 28, the Cincinnati premiere at the Cox Theatre, of that much-discussed Broadway success "The Women." Mrs.

Anthony D. Bullock the General Chairman of this event in aid of the Wellesley Club's Scholarship Fund, has appointed Mrs. Stuart Hilton Smith, the treasurer of the Theatre Party. Advance tickets may be secured of any member of this alumnal organization, these cards being later exchanged for reserved seats at the box office at the Cox Theatre. Club, made for the thirty-fifth anniversary.

The compilation and arrangement of the book, its editing and, truly, its very existence due to Miss Florence Murdoch who has labored lovingly and patiently to bring together various tributes from every source and to compress them within the compass of this slender volume: "Fragmentary records," as she says in the foreword, "of 8. woman much loved, who left the impress of her warm and eager personality upon every movement with which she came in contact; whose vision of their possibilties was equalled only by her earnestness in working towards their fulfillment; whose enthusiasm was seasoned with the saving grace of humor; whose courage in overcoming handicaps and obstacles was a high thing, a thing of faith; whose initiative was derived perhaps from her pioneering ancestors who came early to the New World from Ergland, and followed the course of empire westward." The texts which Miss, Murdoch has selected include official memorials of the Cincinnati Woman's Club, Society of Mayflower Descendents, Colonial Dames, Cincinnati Chapter of the D. A. and the Woman's Art Club. There are also delightful memories of a number of her friends and interesting records by various coworkers of her connections with the Cincinnati Pottery Club, Rookwood Pottery, Chicago World's Fair, Porcelain League, Handicraft Exhibition League, Crafters Company, Windham County Historical Society and Newfane Garden Club (in her ancestral Vermont), and her church affiliations.

The appearance of the booklet would delight Miss Newton's fine aesthetic sense--the blue cover on which her monogram in silver looks so lovely, mellow-toned, handmade paper on which the delicate text is 80 beautifully composed, the fine proportions the whole thing as well as the craftsmanship of its execution. The technical perfection of the typography, printing and binding is due to the taste and skill of Mr. Elmer Frank Gleason, who set the type and printed it by hand on his private press--the Stratford Press in his charming home. THE second in its series of Sunday Evening lecturers, the Entertainment Committee of the Cincinnati Country Club is presenting on November 13, none other than Mr. George Sokolsky, a noted author, columnist, and lecturer on topics of industrial relations.

Mr. Sokolsky is much in the public eye at present, one of his articles having appeared in the October issue of the Commentator, while another series of talks is appearing in the current issues of Liberty Magazine. Under the topic of "Stability vs. Progress," Mr. Sokolsky will present a resume of the capitalistic system which is now in operation.

The hour for Mr. Sokolsky's address on Sunday, November 13, is 8:30 o'clock, following a buffet supper at 7 o'clock. Reservations should be made as soon as possible at the Country Club, East 2282. visit to the Cincinnati Art Museum where the great exhibition of "Wood Sculpture-Primitive and Contemporary" which the Cincinnati Crafters Company has organized is on exhibition in Galleries 30 and 31. The exhibition will be on display only through the teenth of this month.

Concat: measures on the second time around, after trio, instead of playing straight through. On acthen count of the brevity of this passage, the repetition appears to be one of the sanctioned breaches of tradition and as such has itself become a tradition. The manner in which Mr.

Lange treats the short introduction of the first movement, as though he were drawing a cork champagne bottle, remains quite" in keeping with the lighthanded and crisp performance of the rest of the symphony. Tchaikovsky's own admission of having written music of symphonic character as a trio justifies an arrangement for orchestra. Except in those, places where it loses by thick orchestration and a piling on of effects, Frederick Stock's transcription enhances the comof poser's ideas and enlarges the scope the medium of expression so as to allow his original conception to have freer play. Strangely enough, Tchaikovsky a appears to have forgotten his own troubles while paying this tribute to his friend, Nicholas Rubinstein. During the course of composing long stretches of the second movement, he also evidently forgot that he was writing an elegy.

One of the variations, for example, has a waltz in his best "Sleeping Beauty" vein, the last part of which Stock has orchestrated rather a la Rosenkavalier. There is also a charming mazurka. Now and again Tchaikovsky remembered as in the lamentoso variation and of course in the overwhelming finale and coda, where he reverted to his oroginal theme and worked it into a lugubrious and impressive ending. Its looseness of and fickleness of mood notwithstanding, this trio belongs in the top drawer alongside the best of Tchaikovsky's music, thanks largely to the superiority of its thematic material. Some of those sweeping melodies rank with his best and only he could write them in just that way.

Stock's arrangement and a difficult one it is, too -attempts to preserve the chamber character of the work wherever it can. As a consequence no small amount of ensemble playing falls to Emil and Walter Heermann, violinist and 'cellist, respectively, and to John Quincy Bass, the pianist, who yesterday shared a well-deserved ovation with Mr. Lange. Tchaikovsky-ists would do well not to pass this concert by. Or are they Tchaikovsky-ites? NOT YET, FISHERMEN! For hopeful fishermen of 1940 or thereafter, 10,000 fish from the Newtown hatchery will be placed in Sharon Woods lake this after.

noon by the State Conservation Commission, Albert M. Husted, Director of the Hamilton County Board of Park Commissioners, said last night. The fish are blue gills. More than 6,000 bass and blue gills already have been put into the new lake. Ten thousand more, in addition to those today, are expected to be placed in the lake.
