Clelia Fioravanti, a young Wash- ington singer, and Vasa Prihoda, vio- | |} | 1inist, gave a concert yesterday after- noon in the Belasco Theater. Both soloists have been heard here before, Miss Fioravanti in her debut with the | Washington Opera Compny as men” a season or so ago. und Mr. Prihoda as soloist_with the Chicago Orchestr: Miss Fiora- vanti has a voice of wide range and sweetness, more of a mezzo in quality than contralto. and she has much italent. She shows marked improve- ce her first appearance here, cks t tone production, s wavered from the || pitch in her high tones. In the songs her phrasing was unusually good for | || 0 younz a singer, and always her enunciation is excellent, enhancing *| particularly the charm of the Englis songs. M Fioravanti was accom- panied by Claude Robeson, who played | { beautifuily, never obtruding the piano, }bul al giving ample support. Mr. Prihoda played with big tone of good quality, and his numbers gave him opportunity to disp! his brilliant technic, in double stops, harmonics and sparkling scales and denzas. Corel- Ii's “La Follia” was one of the most difficult of his numbers, in which he played the intricate candenza with ease and amazing tempo. He was vel generous with encores, and at the c of the program received a veritable ovation.” Asta Doubrov: was his accompanist. and played excellently. “Maytime.” | “Maytime.” which is playing a re- turn engagement at Pol Theater, to an ap- nce last night.

The two comedy roles of Teddy Webb, as a cockney auction- eer, and Henry Norman. as T Barnum” in his most bombas give much pleasure. There are a number of catchy pe- riod songs and dances that carry one back to the earlier day: The love story is that of an heir- ess, who, at sixteen years of age, has plighted her troth to a handsome ap- prentice in her father's barrel fac- tory. The father. designing to keep the “family fortunes intuct. decrees that she shall wed her cous the apprentice lover is disc and banished. He swears to earn his way to her and return, and she prom- ises to “wait” After an absence of fitteen vears, during which he has become a millionaire in South Africa, he returns to find her unhappily mar- ried to her cousin. The husband finds them in a compromising position and threat. to “drag her name in the gutter,” and to protect her the mil- lionaire lover marries her chum. The play closes with their grand children living out the romance they started. from a vi- days, “Way Down East.” Way Down E: David Wark Griffith's film masterpicce, yesterday went into the seventh week of its, Washington engagement and pl large audiences at both afternoon and | evening exhibitions at the Shubert-| Garrick.

The story concerns a good-looking music teacher and an impressionable wife, who, while the husband, a ph: sician, is attending to his patients, in- dulges in soul mating. The story is dramatic throughout, but there is a vein of humor running through it that carried it into the realm of comedy. Lewis Stone and Myrtle Stedman are admirable in the leading roles, and Raymond Hatton, Mabel Julienne Scott, Gertrude Astor, Russ Powell and Lydia See Announcement HEIFETZ “The Wizard 12-inch $1.75—Ave Mari 12-inch 12-inch 10-inch 10-inch 12-inch 10-inch 12-inch 12-inch 74563 74626 74583 64770 64917 74570 64823 74581 74635 $1.75—On Wings $1.25—Sicilienne $1.75—Ronde des $1.25—Guitarre.

As pi tured it is replete with wholesome humor and romance, and offers pleas- ing entertainment. concerns a girl whose in- pades are magnified out of all_proportion. The early scenes are laid in a fashionable boarding school. where Daphne Bretton (Miss Harris) ceeds in drawing a superfluity of reprimands, for no reason except that appearances seemed to be against her. She is expelled and sent home to a father whose life h; ben crushed by the rashness of his wife. and who is not well acquainted with his motherless daughter. After a series of situations that are by turns amus- ing, whimsical. pathetic and dramat Daphne restores happiness to her “01a Dad.” wins back the affection of ker mother for both, and escapes the clutches of a scheming million; rogue who was almost successful in his plan to thwart the only true love of her life. A new Toonerville comedy, based on Fontaine Fox's cartoons, and a spe- cial overture by the orchestra are additions to the program. “Godless Men,” “Godiess Men, the photoplay shown at Moore's Garden Theater yesterday. is based upon an_old-time seafaring thriller that delights lovers of the adventurous. The picture, an adaptation of the stirring tale by Ben Ames Williams, is laid on a tramp sailing ship, home- ward bound from a long voyage, and tells the story of a man hated and feared “in all the seven seas, the hardest _skipper that ever trod a deck.” The hard skipper's first mate is his son, Red Pawl, reared in hatred and bitterness, and like a wolf await- ing his chance to overpower his si on the first sign of weakness, in order to lead the pack himself.

At Loew's Columbia Theater this week is shown “What Kvery Woman Knows.” a picture based on the famous | play by Sir Jemes M. been Willian DeMille, and much of its suc- cess is due to the excellent work of arles Nagle.

Th. hair-raising stunts for which Fairbank: is noted were not so much in evidence, and the picture is too long drawn out in spots. The story gives Fairbanks opportunity for comedy and the audience found amusement in this at times. The story deals with an eccentric young men in love with a wealthy youns womun who, in his effort to win her b, aiding in her pet charity schemes, sc bungles his plans that for a time he seems likely to lose her. The girl, how- ever, falls into the clutches of a gam- bler. The timely arrival of the hero (Fairbanks) brings everything to a happy ending in a police court.
