There were many melodious pas- sages in the charming work that the listener, who had not heard the opera, recognized with delight. The instru- mental accompaniment was not so good, however. “ORTHOPHONIC” TEST. New Machine Has Mellower and Fuller Quality to Tone. The world has never secmed so full of unustal inventions or definite steps in progress mechanically as now. Last night at Rauscher’s a demonstration was made before a small-invited group of musiclans af the wonders of the newest achievement In phonographic art. The instrument is called “oftho- phonic,” as it is considered a remark- able improvement over all previous in- struments for giving true tone repro- duction tq its fullest extent. As Miss Grace Barr, head of the educational department of tke com- pany manufacturing it, stated: ‘“This instrument is the newest attempt to get eterything reproduced from the phonograph that goes into the record- ing_machine.” There i3 a mellow and more natural quality to the tone that comes from this orthophonic machine that was declared missing formerly. The vol- ume is also large. Particularly ef- fective was the contrasted playing of ol and new recordings of a famous operatic chorus on the new and an old instrument. Also the playing of “Danse Macabre” by the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra showed the great possibilities of the new instryment to best advantage. Paul Robeson’s negro spiritual record, “Bye and Bye,” was | equally natural in its tone. "A’ piano record by Alfred Cortot of Chopin's “C Sharp Minor Waltz” also was ex- cellent in the reproduction of feathery light runs. The violin selection was not so fortunate, and Miss Ponselle's recond of “A Perfect Day” was unin- teresting. The singer seemed to fail to bring her tones forward, which, of course, may have been no fault of the instrument. Tito Schipa sang an Italianized version of “Liebestraum” and a delightfully buoyant record of “Nola” was played.

The records look the same as the old style, but are made by a different process, Those present at the special demonstration showed marked enthusiasm and in- terest in the new production. LATIN-AMERICAN MUSICAL. Army Band snd Soloists Broadcast From Patio. A second concert in the series of Latin-American musicals planned by Franklin Adams was broadcast last night from the patio of the Pan-Amer- ican Unton Bullding. The Army Band, that sturdy and effective backbone of all these programs, played four groups of selections, including music from Haitl, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Para- guay, Peru, Ecuador, Cuba, Chile, Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. The soloists were Caroline Bender, planist; J. E. S. Kinsella, baritone, ac- companied by Mrs. Howard Blandy Senor Arsenio Ralon, accompanied by Senora Ralon, and Carolyn Manning, accompanied by Kurt Hetzel. Dr. L. S. Rowe introduced the speaker, Guy Despard Goff, United States Senator from West Virginia, who talked on *“South America, the Land of Opportunities,” A large audi- ence seated both around the patio and in balcony effects along the epacious stairways and on the floor above en- joyed the program as well as that in- visible audience which caught the Latin music “on the air.” Objects to Body’s Removal. Simon Sultan, an attorney of New York, has filed answer in the Dis- trict Supreme Court to the suit of Carl and Theodore Eiseman to require the District Commissioners to give a permit to remove the body of Joseph H. Sultan, brother of the lawver, trom the Eiseman family plot in the Hebrew Cemetery. Sultan says there is no cause to remove his brother’s re- mains and claims the Eisemans have no right to do so.” Formerly Egypt was practically rainless. Now, owing to irrigation and consequent increase of vegetation, there are about 18 days’ heavy rain yearly in the Nile delta. IE . Cunningbam €o 316 7th St.N.W.

I am chagrined to think that this did not occur to me before. I had long known that only the sweetest, mellowest cider came from the ripest apples with the core and stem removed. In time I began to see that it I believe women will appreciate my new methods of more care- ful selection and prep aration by which I produce what I prefer to call a proper balance of the natural sweet tomato sugars and the true appetizing tomato acids. large portion of the penetrating acrid parts of the tomato along I therefore began to experi- ment with the sweet, fully rip- ened, mellow part, leaving all of the green stem end out. I began then to reach a true blend of tomato goodness and richness. It is entirely free from the sharp acrid taste which comes from attempting to cook in with the ripe part of the tomato, the unripe, green and bitter parts. Write me after you try it.

The mellow, ripe parts of the tomato are richest in the healthful vit- amins; June butter is also rich in vit- amins and more nutritious than butter produced in other months of the year.
