AMUSE Walter Damrosch Recital. Tho last of the series of ‘three ex- planatory racitals on the Nibelungen Trilogy was given by Walter Dam- rosoh, under the auspices of the Washington Soclety of the Fine Arts, Jast evening in the auditorium of the Central High Sohool. The sub- Ject was “Siegfried,” to many the most fascinating of the RIng operas. Mr. Damrosch was at lis best. Seated at the plano, he told in in- imitable manner the story of the opera, taking first the part of the ugly dwarf, then that of the youth who knew no fear and other ohar- ecters successively, bringing them vividly before his audience. intro- ducing now and then a bit of humor or a fiash of pathos, and as he talk- od ha played the themes, each as it occurred. Thus he wove together song. poetry and narrative into a musical tapestry of beautiful design. His rendering of the score was mas- terly. The plano was indeed an Instru- ment in his hand, and the ease with which he employed it to give ex- pression to the Wagnerian composi- tions was an extraordinary demon- stration of the art which conceals art. Ths music scemed like the songs of birds—to sing itself; the plano to be w living thing. capable of m moods and passions, jovous 2nd . menacing and gracious. triumphant, plaintive, impetuous. tender, speaking in terms which all could understand, as Mr. Damrosch himsalf put It, the Wagnerian musi- cal language. It was truly a re- bla performance, An exquisite- rtistie internretation. one which I long dwell in the minds of those who heard it. B. F.

It is rarely indeed that vaudeville presents a more delightfully artistic of- fering than that of the Bernicia Dancers, one of the leading features of an excel- lent bill at the Cosmos Theater this week. It consists of a series of varsing types of artistic dances, including toe and claseic dancing ; but its outstanding feature is the series of Tutankhamen eketches. graceful, original and beauti- ful. which held the ciose attention of large audlences last night and at the matinee, and was greeted with a big roar of applause. The dances are all beautifully staged and_costumed. The famous Petit Troupe are seen here for the first time In daring ath- letics and somersaults, including a human merry-go-round, which made a big popular hit. Goelet and Hall open with an alphabet song, which is quaint, and, after an artistic banjo selection by Goelet, Miss Hall shows some of the cleverest and classiest clog dancing seen anywhere this season. She is an artist in that line and part of her art Is de- voted to imitations of famous dancers. “A Golf Proposal,” presented by Jack Kennedy and company, is a_pleasant end enjoyable farce comedy that needs but little to make it a hit. A bit more of naturalness in the elder members of the company would help lots. Lillian Watson is a little genius.
