All the players started life in remote country dis- tricts as shepherds, farm hands, dairymen, etc. They appear in pic- turesque peasant attire. Their music is natlonalistic In scope and Includes works by composers who, like the Czechin master Leos Janace, having achieved most of their remown in their own land, are now to have an opportunity to be heard in the New World as well. Among these com- posers may be mentioned Nowelejski, Powiadomski, Nowkowski, Jotjeko, Lewandowski, Moniuszko, Rozycki nd both Namyslowskias. These men have drawn their inspiration princi- pally from the tuneful folk music of Poland. Chopin, Paderewski and some of the Russians will also be presented on the programs.

Frances Peralte, Jeanne Gordon, John Charles Thomas, Hunter Kim- night at 8 o'clock at the new Wash- ington Auditorium. “Alda” will mark the first appear- ance of John Charles Thomas In grand opera. It probably will be his last in Washington and one of his last in America for some time, inas- much as he is leaving for Belgium and other European countries soon after the “Aida” performance. A feature of the production will be the presentation by Edouard Albion, impresario, of Hunter Kimball, young American tenor discovered recently. The ballet, under the direction of | Paul Gardner Tchernikof, is expected to mark one of the high points in the performance. Careful study has been given to the history and cus- toms of ancient Egypt, the scene of the opera, to make certain that all of the ballet work conforms strictly to the letter and spirit of the occasions portrayed. Jacques Samossoud will conduct the performance. “The Impresario” Thursday “The Impresario,” by Mozart, will be presented at the National Theater on Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The production will be identical with that which aroused high, enthusiasm in New York. The opera will be sung in English, and none of its humor.and charm should be lost. This opera is one of several notable works pro- duced by Willlam Dade Hinshaw, who is convinced that there is a public demand in this country for opera comique in English. The company is one of uncommon distinction. Henri Scott is an Ameri- can basso. Prior to his appearance in opera, Mr. Scott achieved a reputa- tion as a concert and operatic singer. The part of Mme. Hofer will be sung by Hazel Huntington, a handsome and talented soprano. The other characters have been cast with great care by Mr. Hinshaw They include “Mozart,” impersonated by Harold Hansen; Dorothy Uhlic, Mme. Hofer's rival, sung b Lotice Howell, and Philip, nephew of Schichaneder, a baritone of exceptional attainment. and a graceful actor as impersonaged by Francis Tyler. Willard Sektberg is the pianist-musical director. opera will be artistically costumed and staged. Detailed information may be ob- tained from the T. Arthur Smith, Inc., Concert Bureau at 1306 G street. Geraldine Farrar in “Car- men" Friday. Geraldine Farrar, for many years prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera. will be presented in “Carmen” Friday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at Poli's Theater. Few women in any walk of life have as keen a mind as Geraldine Farrar, and few American . singers have had such a career on the stage, concert and screen drama as she has enjoyed. Like all artists who take thelr work seriously, she has little time to give to an®hing else. After glving a coast-to-coast tour last sea- son in concert Miss Farrar has re- turned to opera as star in her own company, and,will appear i her greatest roles, Blzet's with her own orchestra, supporting principals for the chief roles, and a small but well trained ballet. This special version of the opera should prove of unique interest. Seats are on sale at Mr: Greeno's Concert Bureau, and G streets. Wilson- hirteenth Marica Palesti—Friday. MARKCA PALESTI, Greek soprano, who gave an interesting recital at the Masonic Auditorium earlier this season, will give a second recital Friday afternoon at 4:15 o'clock at the National Theater. Mme. Palesti, who was prima donna of the Moscow Opera House, will sing in five lan- guages.

MILIO DE GOGORZA, famous bari- tone, appeared in - Washington last Monday, quite unostentatiously, and took a leading part in the music of the big community celebration in henor of George Washington's birth- day at the Washington Auditorium. Because of his artistry as a singer of Spanish songs and of “certain other selections that audiences alwavs call for on his concert programs, Mr. de Gogorza did not sing patriotic num- bers, as had been his original inten- tion. At the request of an old friend Wwho is in local music circles, he sang these other numbers instead. His songs included “Mother o' Mine,” by Tours; “Invictus,” by Bruno Huhn, | who Wil himself appear here in re cital March 21; “The Toreador Song, | from Bizet's “Carmen,” and “La Palo- |ma,” by Yradier, with Valverde's pi- | quant “Clavellitos” as encore. The Yradier song was probably never {sung, even by Mr. de Gogorza, with greater artistry and beauty Heien M. Winslow, his sympathetic accompanist, celebrated the tenth an- niversary of her work with Mr. de Gogorza last week: Reinald Werrenrath March 10. EINALD WERRENRATH, popular voung American baritone, who delighted local music lovers with a program at Central High School last Fall, will make his second appear- ance here this season March 10, when he will be guest soloist of the Rubin- stein Club in a concert at the Wil. lard Mr. Werrenrath, born in this coun- try, and owing much of shis musical as well as general educational train- ing to the United States, has done a great deal to foster the cause of the American song writer and American music in general. However, he never chooses any song for his program simply because it is American, but rather for its value as a musical com- position. Mr. Werrenrath is an ardent advocate of singing songs in English for American audiences and devotes much study to perfecting his enunciation in every song he adopts for his recitals. De Reszke Singers March 11 The De Resake Singers will make their first and only appearance in ‘Washington this season at Poli's Theater Wednesday afternoon, March 11, at 4:30 o'clock. After two successful seasons in England and the Continent this un- usual ensemble of four voices, two tenors, baritone and basso, is mak- ing a successful tour in this country. These four singers, trained by Oscar Seegle, star pupil of Jean De Reszke, and by the great Frenchman himself, are native-born Americans. The qual- ity of their. voices is fine, and they have been trained in a way which makes one marvel at the varifety of sound and color. ¢ Seats are on sale at Mrs. Wilson- Greene's Concert Bureau, in Droop's, Thirteenth and G streets.

PALESTI~Friday A delightful musical event that has [become an institution was a feature | of last week's music calendar, when the Chaminade Glee Club second annual banquet at This club, named for the famous French composer, has made admir- able progress. A letter of warm com mendation . and encouragement from Mme. Chaminade was read by Esther Linkins during the evening. Ma! Cryder, a personal friend of ths club namesake and May Brookes dell, musician and teacher, bot known for many Years as in local music circles, were honor guests, introduced by Katharine Eckloff, club president, godmothers of the club. 3 Foster, another prominent musician, gave the principal address, dwelling upon highlights in the history of musle, tracing the influence of music on human existence from Biblical times to the present day. Homer L. Kitt, another honor guest, was given special weicome by the club. Ruth L. Jeffers gave a short address en- titled “Sharps and Flats” that won laughter with its staccato notes. Music was given by two singers, |a violinist. and -three pianists, all active in local music circles. Ruby Potter, soprano, sang a charming, quaint song, “The Love Pirate,” with musical _setting by her Thusband, Louis A. Potteér, who accompanied her. She also sang Terry's “The Answe: and the ol@ song “Go Down to Kew Fred Schaefer, bass, sang “The Two Grenadiers,” by Schumann; Nevins' “Last Night,” and Rosbeck’s “Trees.” Helen Belt, violinist, played Men- delssohn’s “On Wings of Song,” d'Am brosio’s “Serenade,” and Saint-Saens “The Swan.” Gertrude Walter, who accompanied Miss Belt and Mr. Schaefer, proved a delightful young | ptanist, making the difficult arpeggio | passages of both the Mendelssohn and | Saint-Saens numbers excellent back- ground for the violin melodies. Edith B. Athey, whose name is synonymous with community and school music in ‘Washington, played for the club and guests, who sang popular favorites under the skillful direction of Miss Linkihs.. Although the soloists had considerable noise outside the ban- quet hall to compete with, they proved their sportsmanship by giving their numbers anghow, and their ef- forts were doubly appreclated. The Friday Morning Club program this week includes: “Prelude and Fugue, A Major” (Bach), Katherine Ellis: songs for soprano, Mrs. Wayne B. Wheeler; “La Tendre. Lanette” (Couperin), “Pagodes” (Debussy), “Perpetual Motfon” (Von Weber), Katherine Ellis; songs for contralto, “Elegle” (Campbell-Tipton), “My Na- tive Land” (Kaun), “The Moon Path” Beach), = “Farewell” (Gabrilowitch), Thelma Smith. Mary Cryder presented Georgia B. (GPN1 SADERO, brillant Italian ‘woman composer, especially noted for hef songs based upon the old Ttalian folk music, was presented in a charming informal recital by Au- gusto Rosso, charge d'affaires of Italy, in the old Italian embassy, 1400 New Hampshire avenue, last Sunday afternoon. Signorina Sadero was as- sisted in delightful fashion by Si- gnora Calderara of the embassy, who gave piquant translations into Eng- lish of the composer's notes before playing and singing each song. As Signor Rosso remarked in in- troducing the composer: “Geni Sa- dero takes her audience through a mausical tour of Italy. She does not claim a great name as a cantatrice, but she gives her songs great dra- matic - Interpretation and _careful shading of mood and tone, until you feel she is even more than a wonder- ful singer—she represents the mu- | sical soul of Italy.” Venice, Siclly, Tuscany, Lombardy and many other parts of that land of sunshine and melody were represent- ed in the basic themes of her songs Coquetry of courting youths and maldens and tender mother love in lullables vied with the sturdy meas- ured melodies of carters and grain reapers in providing inspiration for the songs. All were unique and in- teresting.

Par- ticularly charming was the Leroux song, “Le NIL” with both instru- ments as accompaniment. LaForge ‘Expectancy” also was sung with ar- tistry. Miss Hazlett seems to have learned to use her rich natural voice effectively. Her tones have reso- nance, color and individuality. She has clean-cut enunciation and shows an absence of manuerisms. Mrs. Charles Cole presented a group in interesting plano recital at Emory M. E. Chugch recently.

The Orpheus Club has postponed its regular fortnightly meeting, falls on Tuesday evening, because of the performance of “Aida.” which will be glven by the Washington Opera Assoclation. The Rubinstein Club contest was held recently in the ballroom of the New Willard Hotel to select the soloist for. the third and last concert of the season. The idea was to select one of each voice from the club mem- bers. The judges were Eulalie Rheem Rowe, Nellls Wilson Shircliff, Eliza- beth Poe, Jessie McBride and T. Ar- thur Smith. The winners were Ger- trude Russel, soprano; Frances Cole, mezzo-soprano, and Cecile Sale, con- tralto. The Madrigal Quartet will sing at this concert. R The second concert of the Rubin- stein Club will be given March 10 in the Willard. The assisting artist will be Relnald Werrenrath. Tickets may be obtained at the New Willard ticket office. Claude Robeson, director of the club, announced there will be no ex- tra rehearsals for the second concert. Geni Sadero in Recital. by Sadero have been popularized in Washington by Dusolina Glannini, young soprano heard here the past two seasoms. Mabel Garrison sang this composer’s grain song on her program here last month. Signorina Sadero has been in this country only about three weeks, and confided the fact that most of that time has been spent in publishers’ offices. A prominent music house has just accepted 24 ,of her songs for publication. This will make about 50 songs written by her which will be available for concert artists looking for movel selections to add to their programs. In addition to being a fascinating interpreter of her compo- sitions, Sadero is a charming person- ality. She is a plump blonde, and until hearing her musical speech a casual observer would never imagine for a moment that she is an Itallan. st Philharmonic Orchestra The New York Philharmonic Or- chestra of 115 plavers, with Willem Mengelberg conducting. will be pre- sented at the National Theater Tues- day afternoon, March 10, by the T.
