MUSIC HENRIETTE LE MENAGER. A young soprano, a Washington girl, with a fine voice of velvety qual- ity, charming personality and stage presence and the power of making her audience share her evident joy in_ her singing, made a successful debut in recital at the Willard Hotel last night. The young lady was Hen- riette Le Menager and, if she fulfills | the rich promise of this recital, she | will shortly be a professional singer of whom this city can well be proud. Although she is & slender, fair young person, her voice already is big, with a mature sweep in many of her tones and excellent placement of her higher notes. She sings, apparently, without effort, and her expressive face and graceful gestures help her consider- ably in telling the story of her song with fine interpretation of its mood. Miss Le Menager's lower tones seemed a trifle uncertain, but that was doubt- less due to the mervousness always present in one's first recital. The first group of songs suited the singer's voice admirably, especially “Spirate pur Spirate,” by Donaudy, and the encore, Tostl's “La Sere. nata.” Her phrasing was smooth and her tones were well shaded. She has no tremulo. $360 $450 $550 $150 $195 Sohmer Weber A. B.

W. “Everything Musical” In the group of German lieder she showed great possibilities for interpre- tation, but the subtleties of the lieder style and the German language for the song diction are not yet hers. She will doubtless grow up to them in time. Perhaps the most amazing and il luminating number on the program to show the beauty and power of her voice and dramatic gifts was the scene and air from Gounod’s “Faust,” “Le Rol de Thule” and “Air des Bi- joux" (Jewel Song). Miss Le Menager wang both unusuall well, with some lovely coloratura work in the latter. Physically, too, she suggested a_beau. tiful Marguerite with her wealth of blonde hair and her slimness of figure. “Cherry Ripe” was a gay, light encore. Miss Le Menager showed distinc. tive style and comprehension of the modern music in Debussy’s “Ro- mance,” Georges’ “Hymn au Soleil” and Winter Watts’ “The Little Shep- herd's song.” She has a real flare for comedy which came to the surface especially in Hageman's “At the Well” and an core, omin’ Through the Rye.” “Nancy Lee” was much enjoyed by the audience, as was her last encore, “O Sole Mio,” in which she showed good tone, although it is not yet quite her own for dic- tion and reading. Miss Le Menager will sail next month for Europe for a Summer of intensive work at the Conservatory in Fountainbleau. It will be interesting to watch her de- velopment after her return next Fall, Durward. Bowersox, young violinist, and George Wilson, accompanist, as. sisted the singer. HF. INQUIRY BOARD SILENT.

Three words which ring ever youthful throughout our lives. Three words which—alone of all words of which man is master—hold that sovereign magic to mock the slow ebbings of the days, the turnings of the seasons, the endless circlings of the years. And so it was that at the words, “I'm in love with you, Callista Bayne,” everything — pride, hunger, vanity, and fear —was forgotten in the sheltering harbor of a splendid love. BRAMBLE BUSH, by Stacey Hutchings, is a glorious story of love and youth that calls to the eternal youth that lies in every one of us. Complete in the May Journal, NOW ON SALE, ten cents.
