Blumenau, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Blumenau of 2222 Newkirk Ave. at the Ambassador Hotel. The Rev.

Dr. Alexander Lyons and the Rev. Dr. Sidney Tedesche performed the ceremony. Miss Rosenberg had her sister, Mrs.

Benjamin Eis, as matron of honor and Mrs. Rica Levy of Brooklyn and Miss Doris Saxe of Brookline, as bridesmaids. The bride wore an ivory satin gown, made with halter sleeves banded at the armholes by seed pearls. It had a train from the waist. She wee a coronet hat with a diadem of lace and had earrings of real or nge blossoms.

To some extent, from the fact that I had not heard it had not been mounted at the conductor had a share in producing Schorr, the Sachs, the audience, reason to be grateful, for, a conscientious occasions, on this he' surpassed himself. Does one forget, and was Mr. Schorr's Sachs always not only so splendidly sung, but so subtly and securely characterized? I rather think not. As for Mr.

Lorenz, his Walther yesterday was a revelation--not of perfection, certainly, but of the immense distance he has covered in his admirable pursuit of that perhaps unattainable goal since he last sang the role here. That I still prefer Mr. Laubenthal's Walther is irrelevant-Mr. Lorenz's is as good, if not better, in many 'essential respects. Eva yesterday was familiarly represented by Mme.

Rethberg, whose voice at least evokes ideal; the Brangaena was Miss Doe--too young for the part, and making too much of it in her the most of it. Mr. Schuetzendorf, of course, sang Beckmesser, if the term is applicable to his efforts to articulate the part, and the Pogner was Mr. Hofmann, in whose voice richness was wanting, and who sang too often to the audience in the auditorium rather than to his audience on the stage, whom he was presumably addressing. Mr.

Bodanzky conducted earnestly, and the orchestra misbehaved itself flagrantly only once. The sum of all these factors was, as I have said, a performance that was more than the mere approximation of the work that, remembering the past, one expected. And what a work it is-the ripest and most nourishing of all the fruits of Wagner's incredible genius, unsurpassed and perhaps unequaled among all the products of the creative spirit of man. The Philharmonic Concert by the Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra, Arturo Toscanini conducting. Yehudi Menuhin, violinist, 50- loist.

At Carnegie Hall last night. BEETHOVEN PROGRAM Overture to Violin Concerto. "Eroica" Symphony, Yehudi Menuhin played the soms and miltona orchids. The matron of honor wore a brocaded blue satin gown; Mrs. Levy wore light blue satin and Miss Saxe heather blue lace.

The attendants carried loops of delphinium and African daisies. Ann Eis, niece of the bride, was flower girl and wore an old-fashioned dress of pink silk trimmed with blue and carried a colonial bouquet. Stanley S. Wasserman was best man and the ushers were Milton Berlfein, Dr. Benjamin Eis, Monroe Flegerheimer, Julian Kugel, Alvin Rosenberg and Jerome Weinburg.

The bride, whose father is honorary director of the Brooklyn Hebrew Orphan Asylum, attended Manual Training and the New York School of Design.

To Mr. regrettably a small one, had special and dependable artist on all thoven concerto at Carnegie Hall last night after an interval of six years. He was 10 when he played it here first, in 1927, with the New York Orchestra under Fritz Busch; he was 16, playing it last night with the Philharmonic under Toscanini.

But there was less than the difference this would mean in the case of any ordinarily gifted young man noticeable in his performance; what difference there was was slight, and could be accounted for by the simple fact that Menuhin no longer plays by instinct alone, as he must have a half dozen years ago. An element of self -consciousness has entered his playing, and a time will prove an obstacle for him to overcome. If always succeeds in this well he did last night, he will be all right, for by the time he had encompassed the cadenzza at the conclusion of the first movement he had forgotten himself and lost the nervousness which impeded him earlier; the coda to the first movement, a few measures, was beautifully played; the slow movement was masterly, the finale a brilliant accomplishment. One's astonishment persists that a boy should outstrip artists SO much more experienced than he not only in art but in life. Mr.

Toscanini's accompaniment was not the ideal accompaniment the listener anticipated. There was a discrepancy between the essentially of the concerto young solopresenteonception ist and the more vigorously phrased and -too vigorously accented-orchestral background. But the performance of the "Eroica" following was another matter. Mr. Toscanini has said the last word on the subject of many a masterpiece, but none more definitely than on the "Eroica." Mrs.

Em-4 erson, president of Philomela; Mrs. 9 Million Along Borough Waterfront Tied Up by Action of Taxpayers The Board of Assessors is moving, under impetus supplied by Controller Cunningham, to collect some of the $28,000,000 tied up in "pigeon-holed" assessments, it was learned today. Thomas W. Whittle, chairman of the board, has notified Borough President Ingersoll that he will advertise shortly the dates for hearings to precede the confirmation of approximately $9,000,000 in sewer assessments for the oceanfront area. Brooklyn's assessment arrears total slightly more than $11,000,000.

This extensive drainage system, comprising both sanitary and storm sewers in an area stretching from Marine Park to Brighton Beach, south of Kings Highway, is practically completed. The levy was to have been confirmed in May, 1932, but a concerted drive by taxpayers' organizations, banded together as the League for the Reduction of Sewer Assessments, averted the entering of the assessment on the books. Confiscation Charged The league, under guidance of John J. Ott, is due to press for a 50 percent reduction in the levy on the ground that the 17,000 low owners in the area of assessment face virtual confiscation of their property if the full cost of the sewers is placed on the local sector. Inasmuch as the new dual sewers are intended to separate the sanitary flow from storm water, to safeguard the beaches from polution by sending all sewage through purification stations, the civic organizatons are urging city to assume at; least half of the expense.

They contend that the city as a whole receives half of the benefit. Imminence of the burdensome sewer assessments was a major topic of discussion at Wednesday's local board meeting in Borough Helene Palferay Sampson to Philadelphia, has been anand Mrs. Edgar Sampson of Sherrill.)
