MU THE SU NDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FEBRUARY 6, 1927—PART 3. SIC BY HELEN FETTER. ITH all the stir that is be- 7 mg kept at the boiling pomnt in New regarding possible amai- amati-n ot symphonic organiza- tions and general, country-wide dis- cpssion of the symphony orchestra problem. including mention of the wonderful gift of one patroness which helped the St. Louis Sym- phony Orchestra to “carry on, Vashington. D. €. goes on—three conductors in her midst. no sym phony orchestra she can really claim as her own yet, and with still another visiting orchestra receiving an unusu ally hearty welcome tonight. Both the New York Symphony Orchestra in its last concert of the scason here and the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the first warmly welcomed and their efforts keenly appreciated by Washingtonians last week In the ncar future the Cincinnati or ganization. the Philadelphia and the New York Philharmonic are listed for programs in this citv. Tonight it i the Minneapolis Symphony Or chestra which holds the boards Henri Verbrugghen, the Belgian con ductor, was a favorite violn pupil of Ysaye and has achicved briliiant triumphs as a conductor in the capi- tals of Europe as well as having re- ceived unusual honors in Sydney, Australia, for his practical help in building up musical organizations in that city were * LTHOUGH such world-renowned artistS as Mme.

Another local musical group which will make a public appearance this seek is the Junior Opera Players' ub of Immaculate Conception Church, which will present the ninth semi-annual production three nights this week. The work chosen is the operetta “Fra Diavolo,” to bhe direct- ed, -as usual, by Harry Wheaton Howard. Mr. Howard's own' oper- citas, “Prairie Rose” and “The Can- nibal King.” will be produced Febru- ary 18 and 25, respectively. Last Monday night one of the fine uartet organizations of the city, tne olumbian Male Quartet, sang as * he principal feature of the Roval Arch Masons’ entertainment, which was attended by hundreds of Washing- tonians, at the Willard. The members of this quartet, which won the prize as the best par- taking in a competition held about two vears ago, are Paul G. Ledig, first tenor; W. E. Braithwaite, sec- ond tenor; Raymond G. Moore, bari- tone, and John C. Smith, basso, with Thomas Moss, a_prominent organist, as the accompanist. Since they won the contest the boys have worked hard and steadily, and their ensemble numbers, especially the capella work, which is a severe test, are admirably done. They show fine sense of shad- ing in tone, clean-cut attack, clear enunciation and generally high stand- ard of work. Their opening yimber, Morley’s “Now Is the Month of May,” was especially effecfive. The quartet arrangement of Brahms’ “Lullaby” is beautifully handled and showed the quartet’s ability in pianis- simo work to advantage. In the Sul- livan-Brewer * “Lost Chord” Mr. Moore’s solo part was well done, yet blended into the ensemble work with good taste and discrimination. The quartet also showed the knack of singing negro spirituals in their sing- ing of “Scandalize My Name.” * % * % I\ fields outside of Washington | (apl.fl artists are “making | good.” Charlotte Klein, long an ac- tive figure in local organ circles, whe is now organist of Trinity Parish, St. Augustine, Fla. recently made her debut in a recital on the John Wana- maker organ, in New York, presented | under the auspices of the American Guild of Organists.

R The compahy will visit 17_cities during this month and next, after its {home season. The railroad fares alone for the orchestra, chorus, bal- let, principals and technical staff amount to $80.000 for the seven weeks of the tour. One thousand | trunks are required to carry the cos- tumes of the singers and ballet These trunks are in addition to the other 300 in which the artists carry their own costumes. There are over 1250 persons in the personnel of the company The figures for excess baggage are staggering. The com- pany pavs $43.000 to the railroads fc excess haggage carried beyond the amount allowed by the fares. The opera company travels in three special trains. The first train carries the baggage. The chorus. ballet and technical staff go in the second, while the third carries the orchestra and the principals. One crew is always ahead of the company preparing the theater and getting the into position where it can be put up with the least possible loss of time. preparing the electric lighting facilities and cxpediting the prompt rise of the curtain for the opening night in the next city. As soon as one scene is finished. the scenery and properties are imme- diately packed and loaded in the cars ready for shipment to the next city on_the tour. The company uses 32 full-size box cars to transport the scenery. clec- trical effects, armor and wardrobe. It carries all .of its own parapher- nalia, even to the electric lights for the stage effects. To insure the on tour with the same gorgeousness that the productions receive in Chi cago. a technical staff of 35 experts goes with the Aompfin\ under the | direction of Harry W. Beatty, tech- ‘l\u’al director. “Vh “daff includes |carpenters, clectricians, armorers, \\\ardrnhc experts, wig makers and | others. | Each of the three | carries six Pullman cars, ‘rar and an observation car. a dining Not one | thing is left to chance, but every de- | tail for every performance is charted in advance. so that the moving of the opera company and its proper- ties among the 17 cities from Boston to San Antonio goes like clockwork. The Story of HEN the Chicago Civic Opero Co. makes its annual visit to Wash- ington, February 16 and 17. it will present Verdi's “Masked Ball” on the former night and Alfano's “Resurrec tion” at the matinee of the second day, with the principal roles sung by Mary Garden and Theodore Ritch “Resurrection” was sung by a company for the first time last sea in Chicago, with it scoring an unqu fied success and with Mary Garden showing the bhest singing and acting of her career The opera big m is based upon the story of the same name by Leo Tolstoi, the great Russian writer. althouzh many of the horrors depicted by Tolstoi have bheen smoothed down ronly sug gested. The main e¢haracters are Prince Dimitri Ivanovitch Nekludoff and Caterina Mikailowna. known in the opera ase Katiusha There are two lesser characters of importanc Matrena, the housekeeper aunt, and Anne, an old peasant serv ant There are several minor roles, including monson, who appears in the last a possible lover of K tiusha The first act takes place home of Dimitri’s aunt, on the eve of Easter. The servants are prepar ing tea for Dimitri and his aunt upon their arrival from church. not long after they return that all ex cept Dimitri leave. He hears Katiu sha and calls her.

He is expected to recuperate at his aunt’s home, but an urgent message calls him back to duty. Katiusha and Anne are shown walting at the station, hoping to see Dimitri in the train. She is anxious about the reception of the news that he is soon to be a father. Suddenly she hears his voice outside and sees him with another gjrl. She tries to rush past the gate, but is prevented by the train gatekeeper. The train leaves and Katiusha is in deepest de- spair. The third act is in a large room in the prison for women.
