Fred Wolle, who is probably the greatest interpreter of Bach's choral music today. - The instrumental music was played by 50 members of the Phil adelphia Symphony Orchestra, with Ruth Becker at the piano and T, Edgar Shields at the organ A unique feature of this work is the active participation demanded of the audience itself, as 11 of the 15 chorals in the work are sung by au- dience and choir. The four -other chorals and short passuges here and there were omitted, s0 as to make the performance come within an or- dinary evening’s concert space of time. After the opening number, “Come, Ye Daughters,” during which the special choir of sopranos, men: bers of the Friday Morning Music Club and the Tuesday Evening Music Club, Lucy Brickenstein, director, sang from the -orchestra pit, these members dispersed to places in the audience, and with the other singers from local church choirs who had {been drilled in these chorals by Adolf Torovsky of Epiphany Church, led the audience Symphony of Volces. A musical authority has stated u “the Bach Cholr is the finest thing musically that the United States has developed to date.” Born lin the Moravian settlement of Beth- { lehem, and constantly brought to increasing state bordering on per- fection under Dr. Wolle’s careful during a_quarter of a cen- this choir affords the listener a inspiration above and be- vond orchestra or organ efforts, for it is a symphony of human voices marvelously controlled. The work of the chorus in the *“Pas- sion” - the greatest thing. With the tance of full orchestral group and or sage following » “Christ Is Bound and Led Away,” the chorus gave one of the climaxes a vividly dramatic in- terpretation. _Another passage which showed that ‘Bach possessed a genius for interpreting in music what in this day would be called ‘“mob psvchol ogyv'"" was that of “The Crucifixion.” Ciosely following on iis last note was the most beautiful phrase that Charles rowbridge Tittmann, Washington bas- who sang the solo part of the Christ, had in. his entire part—"Eli, Ell, lama Sabachthani?’ = Mr. Titt- mann sang this so beautifully that it was almost a regret that the tenor recitative took up the same phrase with English translation. It is so written in the score, yet it seems an anticlimax Mr. Tittmann was in good volce last night. It was only to be regretted that frequently hls passages started with a note in his higher register that made it dificult always to get an ac- curate tone. His enunclation, how- ever, and deeper tones, were, as al- ways. excellent. “The work of the strings in aecompanying the Christ's music was another thing at which to { marvel. ter work, Patton Wins Laurels. Fred Patton, the New York bari tone, who created a sensation with his splendid reading of the role of the high - priest in the performance of amson and Delilah” given here ear- | 1icr in the season by the Washington Opera Co., won the supreme solo | laurels last night when he. sang all | the villainous roles of Peter, Judas, | Pilate and everything, in fact, except | the robbers, that was villainous. His | tones were firm and true and his ring- |ing, big voice showed to marked ad- vantage. His diction, too, was beyond reproach. It is interesting to note here that the last time Mr. Patton and Mr. Tittmann sang this work together, the PArts were reversed, Mr. Patton singing the music of the Christ and Mr. Tittmann singing the other role. ¥ Nicholas Douty, the tenor, who long ago established his reputation firmly as a master singer of Bach, substi- tuted at a day's notice for Arthur Kraft, undertaking the longest and most trying role in the entire work, that of the Evamgelist. As ever, Mr. Douty’s style was superb. He is a true artist and gives in this role his own personal conception of accent and phrasing. The two | Stokes Hager. woman singers, Emily soprano, and Mabel Beddoe, contraito, are constantly call- ed upon .to sing -these roles and others in Bach Choir performances. They accomplish the difficult feat of { the tricky, florid passages admirably, {but compared to the male voic their tones appeared thin and weak. Chorus Is Thing. The chorus, however, is the thing! A wonderful organization managed by a sunny-tempered, - magnetic Bach wizard. The bringing of this great music by a great body of American- trained American singers to Washing- ton is an achievement for which all Washington should offer a vote of hearty thanks to that far-sighted and sincere group known as “The Friends jof Music in Washington,” whose lead- ing committee is composed of Mrs. W. Sinclair Bowen, Miss Lucy Bricken- stein, Rev. Dr. W. L. Darby, Carl {Engel. Dr. Alexander Hennemann, Mrs. Walter Bruce Howe, Mrs. Adolph 1('. Miller, Mrs. Edwin B. Parker, Rev. {Dr. Z. B. Phillips, Miss Ell Powell, Right Rev. Mgr. C. F. Thbmas, Mrs. Lawrence Townsend, Rev. Dr. Jason Noble Pierce, Rev. jDr. Abram Simon and T. Arthur | Smith. Also the guarantors for the choir, { which, besides many outstanding in- | dividuals of official, musical and res dent soclety, included significantly such organizations as the Chamber Music Society and the Friday Morn- ing Music Club. Additional local credit should be extended to the members of the fol- lowing ‘choirs. which, with the Fri- day Morning Music Club Chorus and the Tuesday Evening Music Club, - Mrs. Howard, director, gave valuable assistance in the success of the antiphonal choral singing: the First Congregational,. Advent Epis- copal, Epiphany Episcopal, Immanuel Baj tist, Petworth M. E. and St. Alban’s Episcopal. H. F. SHIP’S LOSS IS FEARED. Freighter, Carrying Crew of 26, Overdue Two Days.

Main 5280 THOMPSON TAKES UP ISLAND STUDY Talks With President on Plans for Philippine Trip, Which Will Start in June. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. It has been decided that Col. Carmi A. Thompson of Ohlo, who was recently named by President Coolidge to make a survey of the economic and all other internal conditions in the Philippine Islands, will start on this mission early in June and wili return to Washingion some time mext No- vember. The President has made it clear to Col. Thompson that he is anxious to have the latter's report of his findings in ample time for him to study before preparing his next annual message to Congress. s Tffln was made known at the White House toduy following @ visit made by Col. Thompson, who called to con- fer regarding details intimate to the work the President has turned over to_him. The White House is now pre- paring for Col. Thompson what he described as his assignment. Assist- ants to the President are mapping out the nature and the scope of the inves- tigetion the President expects Col. Thompson to make, as well as other details incident to this. Experts to Make Trip. Col. Thompson will be accompanied a dozen or more Government ex- perts, as well as a small clerical persorinel. These experts will be se- lected from the Government depart- ments. 1t s the intention of the White House to have their expenses paid out of appropriations of their respective departments, inasmuch as the President has no special appro- priation for this purpose. Col. Thompson, while discussing his mission at the White House today, said that thus far he only knows in a very general way just what his work will be. He realizes that the scope of his activities will be large and that a variety of subjects and activif will be covered. In his opinion, the survey is primarily for the purpose of determining the eco- nomic and industrial situation in the islands and to report on these, as well as to make report regarding the pos- sibilities for futuye development in the Philippines. _Although his mis- sion is not intended to have any po- litical _significance or ramifications, Col. Thompson is of the opinion that it would be very natural for him to make a report to the President re- garding the island policies. He ex- pects also to touch upon the question of self-government for the Filipinos. Holds Motive Impersonal. It was made very clear by Col. Thompson that this survey was pro- posed by the President from a purely impersonal motive, for the purpose of obtaining enlightenment for himself and Congress with a view to assist- ing in the promotion and development of the Philippines in the future. Col. Thompson said that his mission has no connection with the administration of Gov. Gen. Wood in the Philippines, and that the fact that he is being sent to make this survey should not be interpreted as a reflection upon Gen. Wood. In working out the details for Col. Thompson's survey the White House thus far has specified that it wants investigated the following: Education, health and sanitation; the housing sit- uation, agricultural and industtial de- velopment, the possibility of promot- ing the, growing of rubben trees, the coffee and sugar industries, and ship- ping. The President has told Col. Thomp- son that he wants him to include visits to other possessioms in the Pa- by El Senador Bingham Da La Bienvenida A Los Delegados Senores de la Prensa America del Norte y del Sur, os saludo cordial mente.
