Walter T. Holt, who has been es- tablished here for some time as an authority on the fretted instrument, and who presented a group of about 100 students in three distinct clubs in his twenty-seventh annual recital, is a musician who has done’ much in a comparatively untried field in Washington.

There was a delightful harpsichord quality that suggested that Mozart and Bach should be composers whose works could be used to advantage by these instrumentalists. A theme of hymn- like chant quality also was emphasized in the Verdi work that usually escapes the casual ear in the orchestral ver- sion. . Another beautiful work that lent itself graciously to adaptation for fretted instruments was Tschaikow- ski's “Andante Cantabile,” from “String Quartet, Opus 11.” This num- ber as presented by Mr. De Loss and R. A. Koontz, mandolin players; Philip Florfa, tenor mandola, and Raymond A. Hart, mando-cello, was the high light of the evening, judging both from mugle, interpretation and the apprecia- tion of the audience. Boisdefire’s “At the Brook,” was the other attractive quartet number. The Banjo Club played a “Popu- lar Medley” as arranged by Mr. De Loss, and Fred J. Bacon, played his own “Silver Bell March,” his arrange- ment_of a medley of Southern afrs, and Beethoven Minuet in G.” He | was enthusiastically received. | Another soloist was Annabel Bird, who played two Hawallan guitar numbers with accompaniment by Mr. Holt. She scemed quite dexterous and got some lovely rounded notes from her instrument. Alice 1. Hill and Charles A. Conrard gave a Drdla duet and encore. Elizabeth Stewart, soprano, accompanied at the piano by Burrus Willlams, was the only vocal- st. She has a sweet lyric voice with pleasing planissimo tones, but not yet sure In some of her louder high final group of the evening was the Nordica Guitar and Ukulele Club, which numbered several youngsters who seemed hardly in their teens. Their group of three selections was heartily received and seemed well done, with clean, decisive attacks, zood rhythm and fine “teamwork 17 17N\ 1) N B Mr. Holt directed all group numbers, using a mandolin as his instrument most of the time. F. ‘H. M. S. PINAFORE” PRESENTED With High Success by Children of Immaculate Conception School. That vessel of comic opera fame, “H. M. S. Pinafore,” designed and equipped melodiously and cleverly by those master craftsmen, Gilbert and Sullivan, set sail with great success at the Immaculate Conception School last night to the enthusiastic cheers of a large audience. Harry Wheaton Howard was the guiding spirit of the occasion and the cholr boys and girls sang well and seemed to get the spirit of the work remarkably well. Especially good was Florence Yo- cum, the youthful prima donna of this ‘group of ambitious young ama; teurs. In the role of the charming Josephine, Miss Yocum was particular- ly pleasing. Her voice is naturally lovely and seems to be constantly im- proving. Frederick Nolan, perhaps the most gifted dramatically of the youthful group, was another outstand- ing character as Dick Deadeye. Irene Bontz, the leading dancer of the organization, gave a fine sallor's hornpipe that was received with hearty applause. The chorus of uncle and cousins and aunts sang the old music in delightful fresh voices. All the roles were well taken, and it is anticipated that an- other large audience will gather for the second performance of this work by the boys and girls at the school to- night at 8 o'clock. Thursday and Friday nights, Mr. Howard's own operetta, “Rose of the Prairie,” will be presented. Fire Hits Armour London Plant.
