COLUMBIA—"The Black Pirate.” At Loew’s Columbia Theater next week, beginning Sunday afternoon, Douglas Fairbanks' dramatic and ro- ntic sensation, “The Black Pirate,” will be shown. Perhaps the most remarkable fea- ture of “The Black Pirate” is the fact that it has been made entirely in technicolor, the first picture of such magnitude to be photographed entire- ly in that medium.

Y. PHILHARMONIC’S CONCERT. The great Teutonic writers Rich- ard Wagner and Ludwig von Bee- thoven provided the rich musical feast that Willem Mengelberg, the Dutch conductor, and his orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, placed be- fore a large and unusually apprecia- tive audience at the National Theater yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Calvin Cool- 1dge attended this, the second in the series of three concerts to be given here this year by the oldest Ameri- can orchestra, which, while it may not have quite established itself in Wash- ington to the popularity enjoyed here by the Philadelphia Orchestra, is cer- tainly rapidly doing so. Three preludes from operas by the master of Bayreuth were given the first part of the program. They are all musical gems and surely never found more sympathetic reading than in the hands of Mr. Mengelberg. The beauties of the triplet of preludes as glven brought to mind a comparison with the three marvelously wrought caskets which Portia in the Shake- spearean play is given from which to choose. “Die Meistersinger” has all the fascinating qualities that are defl- nitely human; “Lohengrin” is domi- nated by an esthetic atmosphere, fanatical in its inevitability; “Tristan and Isolde” has the qualities of the truly divine, showing the hope of hu- mans to attain the ideal through suf- fering. It was quite the logical order in_which to arrange the three pre- ludes, and approval rang forth in the applavse that, as usual in a Mengel- berg concert in Washington, amounted to_ovation proportions. ‘While there were times in “Die Meistersinger” when the brasses seemed to overbalance a bit toward the end and there were those who in the “Tristan” recalled Mr. Stokow- ski’s presentation of that same music last month, there was no one who did not applaud vigorously and at length and feel especlally the remarkable power in the string section of the orchestra. The nearing centenary of the death of Beethoven was appropriately cele- brated in the playing of his famous “Fifth S8ymphony in C minor.” It is a work that impresses primarily with its herolc stature, sweep of melodies and preciseness of balance in con- trapuntal effects. Full of beauty and strength, even so, it seemed bolsterous, over-garrulous and very earthy after the more- ethereal charms of “Tris- tan.” The symphony might have seemed much more beautiful if given first on the program. As it was, Mr. Mengelberg gave it loving care, coax- ing the blossoming melodies forth with fresh meanings.

H THE DUDLEY BUCK SINGERS. A special concert in compliment to the members of Congress and the cabinet was given at the Library of Congress Chamber of Music Audi- torfum _yesterday afternoon. _The Dudley Buck Singers, including Milli- cent Robinson, Alma Milstead, Ade- laide De Loca, Georgla Graves, Board- man_Sanchez, Henry Moeller, Frank . Forbes and Leslie Arnold, with Elsio T. Cowen as accompanist, ren- dered a_delightful and varied pro- gram. Nine of the 15 numbers on this program were obtained by Dudley Buck, son of the noted composer and himself a fine musician, through the division of music of the Library of The idea of “The Dudley Buck Singers,” who devote them- selves to the gems of vocal ensemble music not so often heard, originated with Martin H. Hanson of New York, and the singers were trained by Dud- ley Buck. he three 1. F. ansion of Peac s com 33 29¢ Curtain Rods 2 Sets for 35¢ Double,» curved end, flat rods that extend to 50 inches.

Correct modes for $2 Satin ‘Charmeuse Tt is indeed 'a satisfaction that Washington music evers oad have i posed by Samuel Webbe (1740-1816) and was very popular in America during the latter part of the elght. eenth and the arly part of the nineteenth century. The air, “Tell Me. Lovely Shepherd,” was aiso ex- tremely popular, and Francls Hop- kinson, first American composer and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, copied it in his own hand in his book of manuseript music, which is now in the Library of Con: gress. The composer was Dr. Willlam Boyce (17101779), who was buried in the crypt of St. Paul's Cathedral. The evolution of the “Star Spangled Banner,” which was well sung, is particularly interesting. According to 0. G. Sonneck, former chief of division of music, the air “To Anz Heaven,” to which the words b cis Scott Key are sung, was composed by John Stafford Smith (17 0-18836). The words and musi later became “The Anacreontick Son, (4 arrangement as s the program was made by Smith him- known as A Group of 300 Featured at 14, when Key wrote the words of “The Star Spangled Banner, there were at least 30 adaptations of the melody to different sets of verses. All selections given during the after- noon weré admirably sung, and the dominating features of the concert was the informal grouping of the singers, a bit reminiscent perhaps of the methods of the English singers, who sing their numbers while seated ibout a table. The Dudley Buck !ingers sometimes sit and sometimes atand, with a graceful picture for the audience to look upon. THE DAVISON GLEE CLUB. Bringing the holiday season to a fit- ting close, the Davison Male Glee | Club presented its Christmas concert last night in Plerce Hall, All Souls Unitarian Church, to a large audience. The chorus, under the able leader- ship of John R. Monroe, proved to be well trained in the art of choral sing- ing, Its planissimo work deserving especial praise, while its tone quali : gmzmwzuamuwmmzum KING’S PALACE Satisfaction Since 1859 810-818 Seventh Street was much better than that of the age glee club. The two principal soloists were Wii llam Beli, tenor, and John Lachowicz baritone. Their rendition of the solo« in the French carol, “Le Miracle d- St. Nicolas,” left nothing to be desired both exhibiting good voices. The other incldental solos to the chorus alse were sung well. The guest artist of the concert was Adolt Torovsky, planist and organist of Epiphany Church of this city. He played without apparent effort, his technic being unusually free from the exaggerated mannerisms which so many planists display.
