Carrying with him airplane propellers, with
the machinery for manipulating them, two oc-
taves of electrical bells and other mechanical
devices, instead of the ordinary orchestra in-
struments, George Antheil, the twenty-six-year-
okl American composer who has been called by
foreign critics a creator of new forms, arrived
recently on the Cunard liner "Ascania" to show
his countrymen what their civilization sounds
like when translated into modernistic music.
He was accompanied by his wife, who is a
niece of Arthur Schnitzler, the Viennese writer.
He will play in Carnegie Hall on April 10.
