It was not the statuesque Mary Garden of operatic fame who stepped upon the little stage of the ballroom in the Mayflower Hotel yesterday morning and charmed an audience of several hundred distinguished folk of Washington with her songs. Rather, it was Mary Garden, flapper model, 1926. Slimmer and more vivacious than Washington has seen her in some time, Miss Garden swung out on the stage. She wore an abbrevi- ated black velvet costume with a “sprinkled rose pattern,” as our grandmothers would have called it (vet at a distance-it looked very much like a perky bungalow apron) and her head was swathed in a cerise scarf decorated in front with a huge ~ | rhinestone brilliant. With the buoyant self-assurance of a clever jeune fille, Miss Garden launched briskly upon the songs of her program and won her audience completely. She seemed to have pick- ed the numbers of her second group The two lit- tle songs by that tuneful Venezuelan composer, Reynaldo Hahn, were among her most effective selections. They were “My Ship and I” and “The Swing."” The first .group was inevitably of French songs, the loveliest of which was Debussy’s “Beau Soir.” Of course. M Garden’s French is perfect, and also is her feeling for the subtle moods of these songs. But her Scotch came through in the encore, ‘“‘Comin’ Through the Rye,” and also in the en core to her second group, “My Heart's Sailr for Somebody.” In this group he substituted Tosti’s “La Serenata” for Gretchaninoff’s “Le Ross'gnol.” | She gave the Tosti definite CGarden | treatment and the way in which she senl its undulating phrases out to all | corners of the room gave it somewhat the same effect as the popular “In- (dlan Love Call.” Also, she didn't bother with many of the alternative | high notes in her numbers, even in | the- “Louise” “Depuis le jour.” After | all, morning is a trying time to sing. Always Mary Garden is the singing actress and it is the dramatic quality with which she blows life into her | songs that is so fascinating to her au- | ditors. She chose “As We Part” by |Rogers for her final encore, and although the audience accepted her suggestion without undue protest they lingered, rather hoping for *just one more,” but Mary did not appear. Listed jointly on the program with Miss Garden was Jean Hector Dan- A young French pianist, who is typically national in his treatment of piano compositions. He proved an exquisite accompanist for Miss Garden. His Chopin was not at all individual. The Ravel “Jeux d’Eau’ was well done and Granados’' *“Danse Espagnole” was given good interpre- tation. The Liszt “Liebestraume’ was well played as the encore to his second group. M. Danseueau has light, delicate grace in his touch and seems inclined to give all his music, even the boisterous “Eleventh Rhap- sody” of Liszt, pastel qualities, The program was an unusually uspicious opening for Mrs. Lawrence Townsend's newest series of morning musicals and was well attended. Next week Maria Mueller and Frederic Schorr of the Metropolitan Opera Company will give the program.

MARGARET DENEKE'S RECITAL. | To even the most jaded and sophis- ticated ingividual the colorful vari- ance in personalities is a subject that never tires. To go to Mary Garden's recital in the morning yesterday and then, a few hours later, ‘to hear the delightful lecture-recital on “Dance Rhythms in Classical Music" present- ed by another dstinct but different personality at the Library of Con- gress in the afternoon was a real ex- perience in contrasts. Miss Margaret Deneke is an intellectual, precise En- glishwoman. Behind the reserve and almost shyness, Miss Deneke has aj marvelous sense of humor, which she never lets run away with her, but pulls up short the second she thinks her audience has had enough. Miss Deneke is choir master of Lady Margaret Hall in Oxford, Eng- land. She is-not a graduate of the school, but an honorary member. First and foremost she is a remark- ably talented pianist; there were times yesterday when her hearers wished she would not'be quite so systematic in following her definitely planned talk schedule and linger longer at the piano, especially in the Bach numbers. Secondly, Miss Deneke is a conscientious, thorough musician. She studied piano with Eugenia Schumann, the youngest daughter of Robert and Clara Schumann. She re- members as a very small child having played for the great Mme. Schumann, and she tells of how madame’s bright eyes and wonderful smile are among her earliest memories. Twice she played for/Clara Schumann, once in London and once in Switzerland. Miss Deneke, prior to the war, made a pumber of concert tours with the Austrian violinist, Mme. Marie Solidat (a pupil of Joseph Joachim), who has one of the most beautiful violins in the world, a Guarnerius del Gesu, which belonged to Bazzini. Miss Deneke became associated with Oxford and her work with the choir there. She found her lecture-recitals, such as the one she gave yesterday at the library, were popular. The col- lege needed, and still needs, funds to carry on its activities, so Miss Deneke set forth, donating her services to this cause. For three years she has done this kind "of concert work in England, and finally the college asked her to come to America and carry on the work. Miss Deneke says she is charmed with the hospitality and en- thusiasm of her audiences over here. She goes home, sailing on the Beren- garia December 15, after completing a tour of 45 concerts. Miss Deneke’s work over here has been primarily in large colleges and universities. Her first American concert was given in the home of Miss Nevins, sister of Mrs. Edward . MacDowell, at Shaw Farms, Waterford, Conn, The Library concert was her fortieth.

Miss Deneke begins with Willlam Byrd's Anglization of the Spanish ‘“Parvane” under the amusingly British title, “Earl of Salisbury.” THen come the old dances of the classical suite, the alle- mand, the German predecessor of the waltz; the courante, a quicker dance, “merrier in aspect”; the sarabande, from Seville, which was danced before the Queen of Austria by none other than Richelieu, the great cardinal; the “callanteries,” specified by a gavotte, with skip steps instead of sliding ges- tures, originally danced, as Miss De- neke tells, with much “kissing and capering,” and the gigue, which Sir Hubart Parry claims for England, and the Italians also claim. Bach, Brahms, Beethoven and Mozart provided beau- tiful examples of these dance rhythms, and Mozart and Haydn were -both brought into service to illustrate the more pompous minuet. Then came the walz, with Shubert and Schu- mann sketched in interesting portrait- ure by Miss Deneke's word-pictures as well as by their music.. Tschaikow- ski contributed the dominant polka illustration. As final encore, Miss Deneke played a little waltz by Gauby, an old Austrian composer, who dedi- cated this charming number to Miss Deneke.

Vast Smuggling of Gems and Drugs Stirs Quest for New Federal Curb By the Associated Press. Jewelry valued at more than $26,- 000,000 was smuggled into the United States from France alone last year, and the illegal entrance of narcotics has been large enough to cause the Government to consider steps for curbing the illicit drug trade at its source. This situation was revealed with publication of testimony before the House appropriation committee while it was considering the Treasury-Post Office bill. Ernest W. Camp, director of cus- toms, told the committee that smug- gling had developed .on. a gigantic scale, and while there was no way to compute the total value of smuggled goods, he said the figure undoubtedly woud be high in the millions. L. G. Nutt, chief of the narcotics division, informed the committee that he had recommended to the Treasury and State Departments that American agents be sent abroad to discover the source of opium and morphine which —You may not know her color choice, But you can select her gift at Nisley’s with the assurance that if it is not exactly the size, cdlor or style she desires we will exchange it for the correct size, anything in our store. color and style, or for Brilliant .lg.uckles for Her Slippers @Imported direct from Paris, Nisiefl themselves.

Poor Familles Receive Cards for Gift of George D. Horning. One hundred poor familles of Wash- ington are beginning already to feel the glowing warmth of Christmas cheer. They have recelved cards from Saks & Co. which entitle them to one pair of shoes each, the gift of George D. Horning. Each year abov* this time Mr. Horning has authorized John S. Ben- nett, superintendent of the Central Union Mission, to distribute 100 or more cards among poor familles for shoes. The mission takes care that the cards reach really needy homes. Upon presentation to Saks & Co. the possessor of the card is fitted with a pair of shoes at the expense of Mr. Horning. RABBIS TO SEE MEXICO, Pllgrimage Will Be Made Undes Church Ausploes.
