The presentation of Mozart's light | opera, “The Impresario,” by a small | ast of artists at the National Theater vesterday afternoon was a unique | event in local musical entertainment. | 1t offered proof that opera, when given intelligent, careful transla tion, may be most enjoyable to an American audience when sung in the English language. There are those who say that this concerted effort in America to have opera sung in the native tongue is futile, as many sing- ers make their English as unintelli- gible to an audience as the foreign languages. The five singers yester- day gave remarkably fine enuncia- tion and dramatic shading that added much to the emphasis of the words themselves and to the enjoyment of l}‘\e subtleties of Mozart's piquant plot. The music of Mozart is always ex- quisite in finish and in the delicately . | florid embroidering of the melodious themes. To be able to sing Mozart well is the ultimate aim of musicianly singers. The English translation pro- vided “The Impresario,” by the late Henry Edward Krehbiel, is Shavian in tone and a perfect lyri parallel for Mozart's amiably sarcastic plot and music. The dainty perfection of text and music were admirably com- plemented by setting and costumes. The plot is of universal appeal. ‘Tt has poignancy for the American au- dience of today, with its underl laughter at managers who ins | employing only foreign artists. as they | feel their audiences will not appre- ciate native talent. Henri Scott, famous bass of the Metropolitan opera company, showed finished artistry and a big, mellow oice in the role of Emanuel Schikaneder, the harassed and diplo- | matic impresario. | Hazel Huntington and Lottice How~ | ell, both possessing well trained, bell- | like voices of coloratura quality, were charming personalities in their rol as well as excelient singers, de’ ing with their skillful breath control and rippling cadenzas. Added interest was given Miss Huntington's appear- ance, as she is a Washington girl. Harold Hansen was that rara avis, a fine tenor with natural tenor qual- ity, tather than a high baritone. He made the part of Mozart realistic and charming. Francis Tyler, a good baritone, was a delightful lover in the little play. All the singers showed dramatic talent and clever restraint of gesture in portraying their roles. Willard Sektberg, in the unobtrusive role of the pianist-director, was more than adequate in completing the well chpsen cast. His accompaniment was sympathetic and easy at all times. T. Arthur Smith Co. is to be congratu- lated upon bringing so rare a treat to Washington music lovers.

Disagrees With Program. Gen. Mitchell, as chief exponent of the independent air force theory of national defense, disclosed himself during the recent congressional in- vestigation to be completely out of harmony with War Department and administration policy on nearly all matters affecting the Air Service In the course of his testimon sharply criticized both the War Navy Departments with relation air service matters and Secretary Weeks and his advisers have taken the position that he could hardly be in his present position, wher: he would be required to operat under policies which he had openly and emphatically challenged. Col. Fechet's nomination is ex pected to be sent to the Senate soon by President Coolidge, Secretary Weeks having recommended him for the post after examination of the records of all officers of suitable rank Fechet Native of Texas.
