The most popular group was of the Russian works, including Rachmani- noff’s beautiful song, “In the Silent Night,” exquisitely presented, and ! three Moussorgsky songs that were exceedingly dramatic, expressing def- infte moods—grim war, tragedy, poignant loneliness and biting satire, n turn. Mr. Tibbett's tone coloring in these songs was reminiscent of the great Chaliapin's, but his interpreta- tion of “The Soug of the Flea" was quite different, with deeper feeling in its sarcasm. He gave “Belleve Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms” as his one encore. - At-all times Mr. Tibbett's enunclation was excellent were “El Pano,” “Nana Berceuse” and “Jota,” all fascinating in rhythms and subtle treatment of melody. The first and third were gay, sensuous dance themes and the lullaby was given dreamy, soft interpretation. Similar was Mr. Kochanski's playing of Mrs. Townsend's “Berceuse,” which was the charming encore. Rachmani- noff’s arransement of Moussorgsky's ‘Hopak” w.: extremely interesting, glving the folk melody heavy but perfectly appropriate chord embroid- erles. Mr. Kochanski played it espe- clally well. The Logan-Krelsler Pale Moon,” that becomies common- place in the hands of amateurs, also was beautifully played. knowledge of music. They showed excellent co-operation and blending of tones in this melodious composition and the manner in which first the organ sounded the theme and then the plano took it up, tossing theme and its harmonic embroideries back and forth, one to the other, with some- times short passages of duet, was de- lightful to hear. Both Miss Fowler and Mr. Ruckman have studied with another Washingtonian—Edwin Hughes, now living in New York and well established as a writer of works on music as well as a planist and a teacher. Miss Fowler, alsc a pupil of Lynnwood Farnham, ganist, gave organ solos,that show New 'York or- i tizky, both showing light, ringing tones and beautifully balanced runs with chords of clear decisive attack without banging. Mr. Ruckman's wrists were limber and his whole attitude seemed conducive to giving his selections under favorable condi- tions. Both he and Miss Fowler are young instrumentalists that show promise of accon#plishing worth-while things, and Washington should tze proud of them. The one vocalist on the program was Wynema McKinley, contralto She sings with considerable styles Her ‘best numbers were Rasbach's “Trees” and Woodforde-Finden's “Till RNT T T ey % 1 Women’s Gift Slippers Colorful, dainty Christmas Slippers for women in a variety of styles that will certainly allow you to check many names from your list. —Quilted satin mules with ¥ ¥ I Wake.” The more colorful songs by Griffes, Rachmaninoff, Bohm and Rossl seem deficlent in interpretation.

The second half of the Cesar Franck “Chorale in ‘A Minor” was particularly well given. This work and the Delamarter “Carillon” and a charming “Scherzo” by Vierne were all played without notes. Because of her work as a teacher in the public schools here, Miss Fowler confessed to lack of time to memorize the Maquaire “Finale,”” which she played with colorful interpretation.
