THE EVENING ' STAR, WASHINGTON, AMUSEMENTS POLI'S—Geraldine Farrar. The lovely Geraldine Farrar, dress- ed in a beautiful blue and purple gown and carrying a gorgeous pur- ple fan, was as fascinating as ever when she appeared in concert recital at Poll's Theater yesterday afternoon. The house was filled to capacity and many seminary flappers, quite evi- dently intense admirers of “Gerry’ were among those present. Miss F' rar's voice was beautiful, especially n the softer high notes and in the nezzo range. She rather disappointed her audience, however, by giving se- ections of a ballad rather than a srand opera type. Miss Farrar is noted for her fire and lramatic charm as well as for her ‘olce itself. She displayed these qual- ties to their full only in one number, :nd that the very last. This was her Grand Opera Company last night at Poli’s Theater. If the decision be left to the judg- ment of the audience, the greatest|® honors of the evening fell to Richard Bonelli for his wonderfully well done prologue to “Pagliaccl.” =~ He easily conveyed his meanings to his au- dlence, and sang words and not a suc cession of tones. His voice is beau. tiful, rich, resonant and under per- fect control. The audience was so thrilled when he reached his climax that the applause broke out and in- terrupted him for a time. Sofla Charlebois proved herself a regular “iron man” by singing her third opera in two days, and she gain- ed another triumph. The same viva ity that characterized her other pe formances entranced her audience last night and seemed to inspire th ‘amous interpretation of the “Ha-ft ‘anera’ from Bizel's opera “Carmen. With her vivid shawl and her may ittle laugh as well as with her art ic singing of this selection, Miss Far ar more than compensated. her audi- nce for its patient wait while she rilled dainty and more polite little ongs. Her other numbers were equal- 7 difficult, but not so showy. Always cr technique was faultless. The first two numbers, Haydn's “My fother Bids Me Bind My Halr" and ‘ranz's “Lassle With the Rosy Cheeks" ere charming, but the next two songs, ¢ Schumann, “Roses Red” and “The were among the most ghtful and most appreciated num- ers’ of the program. air Cheeks,” Brahns, was sung exquisitely, and © next group of French songs quite darmed the audience.
