Tht orchestra j· played the motive. the lir~t ~en?n note . . and : Mr. DeLamarter put words to it. "\)"hen Haydn went to London." hecause the symphony was tirst played at the Oxford uni,·ersity. ,,·here Haydn had been summoned to rccciYc a high degree. The children had to sing the motive over several times. and then ~~ r. DeLamarter told them to count the number of times they heard it in the fe\\· measures the orchestra \\'oulcl play 1 of the Finale. ~lo:'t of thelll resorted 1 t(, counting on their lingers, the motin·~ appeared so fast . A iew guessed it had been played once. some heard it three times, and the majority put it I at four times. A few lone hands dared to venture a fiye or six.

It is the only playground band in this section of the country, and it does rather remarkable work. It gave four number ~. one very martial. one soothing, an Indian numher and a medley of patriotic songs. ~[ozart's F ~ - ) Little Theater Entertains Tht' Playground Little Theater, under the direction of Mrs. Joy Crawford, presented a pantomime, "Fancy Passes." by :NI iss Josephine Blackstock. It was the story of a modern boy and girl who are too busv with their own affairs and their jazz -to see the beauty of an old garden. into which they come. The Spirit of the Garden. the statues and the flowers mourn that the children no longer have children's magic thoughts. but arc silh· imitators of r rown-ups. \Vith grace{ul gestures and dainty dances, the flowers and the n~· moh s offer advice to the Spirit of the Garden, telling what they think should be done to take the jazz poison from the children's hearts.

Now it's yours to test-to drive -to compare-the New Six·60 -a "fundamentally bqtter" Six. And, lower in price than any car Peerless ever built. Yet, a car that looks, acts and is quality! This new Peerless has a wheel· base of 116 inches. Short enough to turn in a narrow street- to slip easily into a space along a crowded curb- to thread guickly through 5o' clock traffic. But spacious-with seats that are soft and pillowy-and more than ample leg room. Light enough to be thrifty of gas and oil. Yet heavy enough to be rugged a.~d strong. Lower than most cars you see, P E E R LESS M OT 0 R CAR with lines smart and clean-cut as a ·cameo. A .brilliant performer, too-with a motor that embodies all that's latest and best in $i'X cylinder construction. And the Ross cam and lever s 60 a steering makes the · ixwonderfully easy car to drive. From its first gentle glide in to action, back to the safe, sure stop of its hy· drau lie 4-wh·eel brakes, this"funda· mentally better" Six is a constant joy.
