ALTERNATE CAST SINGS CARMENCITA Moscow Art Group, Over- shadowed by Baklanova, Wins Commendation. Due to the great art that is Olga Baklanova's, the alternate cast of ®oloists for Washington's perform- ances of “Carmencita and the Hol- dier” by the Musical Studio of the Moscow Art Theater. has been a bit velegated to the rear in the public attentfon. As a matter of fact, how- ever, these singers who made their initial appearance locally in that production last night at Poli's The- ater, and who will sing the roles again | tonight. deserve the highest commendution. To one who has seen both caste of principals there is little v choice between the two. Mme. lanova would seem to have one advantage over her rival Carmen- cita, Yevgenia Abamelik, but it is merely that nature endowed her with stronger features for expression. Mme. Abameiik has what is gener- ally termed a “doll-ltke" countenance, with rounded lines. Yet it is marvel- ous the manner in which she geis the flerce, tigery Carmen's feelings through with this handicap. Vocally and dramatically, the two singers meem on a par. The dramatic color that quivers in every mood in their volces s a thing to wonder at. Sergei Ostroumoff. as the Jose, also followed close’y the characteri- zatlon as given that peasant hero by Tvan Velikanoff. Krutova and Liset. skaya were fine singers und actresses in the roles of the two gypsy women. known in the customary Bizet score as Mercedes and F quita, and the other smaller roles were equally high keyed in their readings. Misall Spe- ransky sings the matador's role of Lucas (generally kunown as Esci millo) in both casts. Shvedoff proved a fine conductor whose quaintly notated and patched scores was ap- parently an adjunct, not a necessity. It is certainly a rare musical op- portunity to hear the intelligent, well knit Russian conception of Bi- zet's score, much revised but not mutllated. as played by an excellent though small orchestra, and sung by a cast of principals and chorus, each ©f whom is a sololst and knows the art of taking pains so completely that every gesture of every person on the stage s fraught with definite, recognizable meaning to make a vivid, powerful whole of the picture meant to portray. MARGARET WILSON FLAT IN NEW YORK ROBBED Daughter of Former President Re- covers Property—Two Youths Arrested in Burglary. By the Associatad Press NEW YORK, March —The | apartment of Miss Margaret Woodrow | Wilson, daughter of the late Presi- dent, at 134 West Fourth street, was robbed during her absence last night. Two 15-yeur-old youths, charged with the burglary, were arrested on the street shortly afterward by two detectives. The pr.soners described | themselves us Joseph Miriglia and Anthony Nunzlato. i} The detectives said the youths had & package containing a typewriter, a $200 beaded mesh baw, a wrist watch and a quantity of jewelry, the prop- erty of Miss Wilson. e COUNT AND WIFE APPEAR IN TRIAL OF SERVANT | Negro Butler Given 60-Day Sen- | tence for Thefts While in Employ of Nobleman. Count and Countess Dutar de Ben- que’ were principal witnesses in Po- lice Court today, when they appeared before Judge John P. McMahon to aid in the prosecution of their colored butler, Watt E. Eason, charged with petit larceny. As a result the de- fendant was convicted and sentenced to jail for 60 days on the larceny charge. His personal bond was taken on a charge of taking personal proper- ty without permission. On two pre- vieus cases of larceny, that occurred before he entered the employ of the count and countess. the judge revoked his probation and gave him an addi- tional sentence of 45 days. The French nobleman and his Amer- ican wife reside at 2480 Wyoming avenue. According to the testimony in court Eason was employed by them last August. Since that time several mrticles of wearing aparel were missed, including hoslery owned by the count and lingerie of the countess. Eason in sald to have admitted to taking these, but was forgiven on the prom- ime of future good behavior. On February 24 the count missed his savings bank, said to have contain- ed about $20. Last Sunday an over- eoat valued at $126 was taken. Eason admitted taking the coat, but said that he had been given permission to do so, and accused the count of absent-mindedness. He returned the coat the following morning, but not until the count had put Detective James E. Lowry of the eighth pre- einct on lookout for it. Lowry arest- ed Eaeon upon his return. In court today both the count and countess appeared very nervous. His name on the information read only “‘Joseph de Benqu House Damaged by Fire. Fire was discovered this morning in the three.story frame house of Mrs. L. A. Harvey, at 406 H street. No. 6 engine company responded and called out additional companies. The fire was confined to the rear portion of the house. Damage was estimated at $1,000. SIGRID ONEGIN'S RECITAL. Sigrid Onegin, Scandinavian con- tralto, proved the sensation so far in a brilllant music season in her debut yesterday at Poli's Theater be- fore an enthusiastic audience. This singer has a marvelous voice of mel- low, velvety quality and remarkably high range for a genuine contralto voice. She also_seems to have per- fect placement her tones and ar- tistic ability at interpretation with vivid, dramatic fire. Although Wash- ington has heard (iadskl, Schumann- Helnk, and even Gerhardt, sing Schu- bert's “Erikoenig,” never has such a splendid complete dramatization of the song been given along with the vocal counterpart. It was quite the feature of the afternoon. The entire group of German lleder inating. [t included Schu- bert’s “Der Musensohn,” *Rastlose Liebe” and “IErlkoenig,” with Schu- mann's “Fruehlingsnacht” as the encore. The opening group was composed of two old Italian songs, St ella’s “Pieta Signore' and Haendel's “Furi- bondo Spira I Vento.” beuutifully sung. Mozart's “Alleluia” was the encore, with the high note in the final phrase excellently struck and sustained. ! 7 A group of old nglish songs fol- lowed and was well sung, but was most notable for the two delightful folk songs glven as encores, one an old Swiss song and the other a Swedish song of the eighteenth cen ury. The lust group of modern kEnglish songs showed originality of interpre- tatfon and emphasized especially the innate charm of the singer's perzmnal- ity. They were Cyril Scott's lovely setting of Rossetti's “Lulaby,” Brew- er's “Tairy I’ipert (the last verse 0. which had to be repeated), lhl Shaw's setting of Henley’s “Invictus, rge's “Song of the were the bril from the opera * and the dashing ) Song” {rom Bizet's “*Carmen,’ both sung with verve and color that won the warmest applause from the udience.
