The President Theater was crowded to capacity yesterday afternoon with smart people and m ten to the real treat of an York Symphony Orehestra, under the direction of Walter Damrosch, master interpreter of music of the great German compo: The two first numbers on the pro- gram were the drefmy prelude from “Lohengrin” and the ever-popular in- troduction to act III of that opera, which includes the momentous wed- ding march that has become such an institution that it is a_wonder that people could ever have tralled to the hymeneal altar to. other strains. The march was exquisitely played. The two following numbers from the “Mastersingerf” hoth show the 8pirit of revolt and desire for freedom that is the basic motif of the entire composition. The Intreduction from act IIT of the “Mastersingers” was beautifully given, but did not seem | M to possess the charm for the audience that the previeus numbers from “Lohengrin” had. The “Prize Song” as sung by Mr. Richard Crooks was unusually fine. This young tenor has of wonderful sweetness and rable power, although that power would seem to be more of’a lyric than a dramatic quality. His “Walter” was splendid. On the other Fand, in his Siegfried In the famou: duet of the third act of “Siexfried.’ the final number on the program. his voice was hardly heavy enough to balance the “Brunnhilde” of Mme. Elsa Stralia, althouch the music was sung with great dwimatic fervor. It is possible that it was the unusually vivid spirit of the orchestral accom- paniment which rather overbalanced the vocal interpretations. Mme. Stralla, the Australlan so- prano. who also Is little known to Washington music circles, has a volce of great dramatic power and beauty, although rather explosive in attack and occaslonally her notes were in-|], clined to be n . however, her resonance of tone was excellent. Her voice seemed par- ticularly suited to the role of the ‘Wagnerian Amasen, Last but far from least in charm among the numbers on the program was the dainty “Dreams,” from “Tris- tan and Isolde.” Rarely is a compo- sition, originally written for the volce, Interpreted instrumentally with such complete retention of its charm and beauty. Yet Mr. Damrosch has preserved all the ldyllic qualities of the song in the version as played by his splendid orchestra. Mr. Gustav Tinlot, the first violinist of the or- chestra, plays the volce motif in a manner which suggests the fragility of a Dresden shepherdess and the almost cloying sweetne: of ado- lescent lov The entire program was received enthuslastically by the audience, even though many had some of their pleasure marred by large feather- trimmed hats in_ the front rows of the orchestra and by what seemed an unusual tendency to cough by the nervous auditor. Sophie Braslau Tomorrow. Sophie Braslau, eminent contralto, will appear in recital tomorrow after- noon at the President Theater at 4:30 o'clock under the management of Mrs. Wilson-Greene. - As an interpreter of songs she has few equdls. Miss Braslau's song re- citals have for several years past been among the most important fea- tures of the musical geason wherever On the whole, music in its higher forms is culti- vated. There is not to be heard today a volce more true to the classical type of contralto. Seats are on sale at Mrs. Greene's concert bureau, 12th and G streets. Victor Golibart Tomorrow. Victor Golibart, tenor, will be pre- l"l‘h‘ Guiding Stal nerian program given by the New | sented in a song recital tomorrow evening_at 8:15 o'clock by T. Arthur Smith, Inc, at the Masonic Audito- rium. Alberta Matthews will be the accompanist. Mr. Golibart has polise, intelli- gence, musicianship and a tenor voice of beautiful quality.
