THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1925. e e N RN RN & B bk b bt BB iAo e B B A e s TR i v R I O R S B S S RUBINSTENCLLB *SCORESINGHORUS Werrenrath Is Guest Artist on Program of Washing- ton Women. The Rubinstein Club of Washington women is a choral organization of sreat possibllities. Last night, when they sung another of the usual type of ‘program at the Willard, they in- spired speculation as to what they could do toward furthering the Inter- est§ of American composers of large choral works by presenting works like Harriet Ware's “Undine” and some of Mrs. Beach's longer and more ous choral works, as well as many by leading American man composers. The two pretentious numbers of the program were Rublinstein's Wanderer's Lvening Song,” sung especially well, and Frederick Stev- enson’s “Viennese Sercnade,” with violin and cello obbligates and bari- tope solo work by Reinald Werren- rath, rmer and in “Pleading,” by the chorus achieved some pianissimo work, and Claude Robeson, director, brought the cliorus to a fine cresendo in the quaint little song of Mrs. Beach's “Wouldn't That Be Queer.” “Snowflakes,” writ- ten by Erl Beatty, accompanlst for Kathryn Meisle at two appearances with the club; “Far Awa'" and “Shena Van,” both earlier works by Mrs. Beach, were interesting light numbers, but seemed more worthy of a high school club than an adult or- Zanization of the ability of these Wome, many of whom are sololsts avith other musical organizations and churches in the city. The Bliss arrangement of the virile “Volga Boatmen's Song” was a dainty, ladylike version entirely out of the mi00d of the song and its inspiration. Mr. Warrenrath seemed in increas- ingly good voice during the evening. This genial young American baritone is a great favorite with local audi- ences. He is especially popular for his artistic singing of what might be called “John McCormack songs.” Among his best numbers last night vere the old Irish “Would Geod I Were the Apple Blossom” (encore to his first group of German lleder), It's Quiet Down Here,” and the last group, including Fletcher's enture,” such “On the Road to b y,* “Sml Through,” by Arthur Penn, and “Homing,” by Del Riego. The last-mentioned was sung to the club. “Lone Doz by Rupert Friebach, Is a new and interesting song. Mr. W ath filled it with dramatic coloring. It should be a favorite soon on baritone programs. Of the songs In German der Welt” was artistically sung. arla was th from Verdi Warrenrath “Othello,” eemed to which ort interpretation in English before | e sang it. Herbert Carrick accompanied Mr. Werrenrath; Pauline Knoeller and Mrs. Howard Blandy played for the club; Elsie Raner, violinist, and Mabel Duncan, cellist, gave string obbligatos in the last number. The ballroom was filled an enthusiastic audience. with CHILDREN ARE FETED. Seniors of Tidelis Camp Tender Party to Juveniles.

Metcalf, noted artist, who died Mon- day from a sudden heart attack, will be held in New York City late this afternoon. Pallhearers will include C. Powell Minnigerode, director of the Corcoran Art Gallery, at which institution a special exhibit of Met- calf's paintings was recently This retrospéctive display, gathered through the personal efforts of the artist, included the best examples of his work. Mr. Metcalf, who was ranked b most critics as the leading American landscape painter and as an outstand- ing figurc in the art world of today was born in Mmssachusetts in 1858. He was thoroughly grounded in ‘art fundamentals and during his life did magazine and hook fllustrating, but most of his later work depicted his native rugged New England. His early professional life was marked by hardships, but toward the end of his work Among the imteresting experiences of the st was his adoption into the Zuni tribe of Indians while en- gaged in special work for the Smith- sonlan Institution in the Southwest |in 1881, He stmdied at the Lowell | Institute, Boston Normal Art School | and the Boston Art Museum School in this country, and under Boulanger and LeFebvre and at the Academie Julien in Paris. | Awards won by Mr. Motcalf were both numerous and important, and began as far back as the Paris salon of 1888. He wom the first Willlam A. Clark prize, with gold medal, at the Corcoran Gallery biennial exhibi 1907, h a painting which is no a part of the permanent collection there. He was a member of <he National Academy of Arts and Letters, the American Painters’ Society, the Water Color Soclety and the Players and Lambs Clubs. He is survived by two young children.

The question of the boundary line be- tween the new Burleith Citizens’ As- sociation and the Georgetown Citi- zens' Association will be discussed at a meeting tomorrow night, at the Potomac Savings Bank, Georgetown, of commiitiees from the two assocla- tions. The committee appointed from the Burleith Citizens’ Association last night at Mount Tabor M. P. Church consists of Henry B. Robinson, Capt. W. B. Lowery and R. M. Taylor. The invitation to discuss the matter was extended by the Georgetown associa- tion. Maj. John B. Richardson, first presi- dent of the Burleith Citizens' Associa- tion, resigned last night, announcing he was moving to another section of the city. Maj. Richardson was given a unanimous vote of thanks for his services, on motion of W. A. Maidens, secretary pro tem. Vice President John D. Battle took the chalr and assumed the presidency, stating, however, he might not have time to continue In the post. Capt. E. H. Inmon, chalrman of a special committe: reported that the request of the Burleith association to the Board of Education, asking re- opening of the question of introduc- ing a commerclal course at Western High School, had been presented, but that at suggestion of Supt. of Schools Ballou the association had been asked to submit its reasons In writing. Capt. Inmon said the association, in his opinion, should not be forced to sub- mit its case in writing, “to be read in a monotone, and then ditched to one side by recommendation of the su- perintendent.” The association {s on record against introduction of the ) course, and Capt. Inmon was author- terest in the children of Burleith in establishment of a basket ball court. Much time was devoted to discus- slon of the action of Shannon & Luchs in starting a new row bof houses on Thirty-seventh street be- houses on S and T streets. By unan mous vote of the assoclation a com- mittee consisting of H. L. Parkinson, Norman R. Pond, R. E. Conner and H. B. Rogers was appointed to call upon the firm and discuss the matter. WANTS EXTRA SESSION. The Farmers' National Council an- nounced today that it had requested the co-operation of several members of the President's Agricultural Con- ference in seeking to have President Coolidge call an immediate extra ses- sion of Congress to enact farm relief legislation. Unless this i{s done, sald the council's statement, legislative relief probably will come too late for next year's crops.

Stop and think —that’s true, isn’t it? The successes in life enjoy life. . But here is something you may not know . . . the difference between success and failure is often the con- dition of your blood. Vitality — your energy — depends upon your blood condition. Rich, full lives need rich, red, energy-building blood. For thirty-two years, Gude's Pepto-Mangan has been prescribed by thousands of physicians as the safe way and the quick way to en- rich the blood — give it those qual- ities it needs for producing power. It is the sure way to combat Anemia —that disease which thousands have and only hundreds know about. Yet it is Anemia — impoverished blood — that is usually responsible for lack of energy and ambition. The iron and manganese content of Gude's Pepto-Mangan is easily assimilated by the blood and carried to every cell of the body, rebuilding its latent power.
