Rumors came to Washington from New York concerning the silver hair and the gracious dignity of mien marking visibly the recent return of Geraldine Farrar to a concert stage which she left several seasons ago. en g0, a wave of surprise coupled with renewed admiration for this gifted woman swept over the audi- ence, together with a lengthy greet- ing of applause, to indicate that the large audience at Poli's Theater yes- terday afternoon was warmly welcom- ing their “Gerry.” however different she might be, back to the National Capital. The program began quite formally with a group by the ancient masters, Haendel, Quagliati, Beethoven and Gluck. The second group decorously followed with Schumann, Schubert and Franz setting the keynote and maintaining all the beauties of the German lieder in their best traditions. In hoth these groups Miss Farrar's carefully polished consideration of every phrase was the ou pressio The English v lovely sbaum,” an_encore, gave the first signs of the old individuality and natural charm which is the real Geraldine Farrar.

In her French group Miss Farrar| peeped through more sh. perhay than of old, but she was decided THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D..C, THURSDAY, there in human, laughing fashlon, The exquisiteness of her phrasing, her wonderful French, the delicacy of her suggestion of action—the art of the supreme diseuse—that was the revelation yesterday afternoon. There were members of the audience who felt that a successor to Yvette Guil- bert had come to the concert stage. The e es, especially the old Eng- lish “When Love Is Xind,” em- phasized this. Claude Gonvierra was an excep- tionaliy fine accompanist for the singer. He also presented a group of short solo selections. H. F. BORI-KOCHANSKI RECITAL. The famous Spanish soprano, Lucre- ia Bori, of the Metropolitan Opera Co., and’ Paul Kochanski, Polish vio- linist, gave one of the most success ful joint recitals heard in Washington in some time, at the Mayflower Hotel vesterday morning, as the fourth in the series under Mrs. Townsend's auspices before a capacity audience that was unusually enthuslastic over the entire program. This was the first time that Miss Rori has been heard here this season. and she was in exceptionally good voice, with color and freshness as well as thorough artistry of interpre- tation. In her first group she sa two operratic airs, “Voi che sapete from Mozart's “Marriage of Figaro and “Mi Chiamano Mimi.” from Puc- cini’s “La Boheme" (the latter by spe- cial request). She won her audience completely with these airs and gave still a third operatic selection in her second group, “Connaistu le Pays,” from “Mignon.” In the latter she fused, as in the other two, all the dramatic fervor of which she is such a complete mistress, yet she main- tained the restrained dignity of atti- tude which belongs to the concert stage. Her songs were equally charm- ingly delivercd and included *Prima- vera d'Or,” hy Glazounow: *“Jota.” by de Falla: “Malaquen Ia,” a Sp as an_interpreter of the songs by Spanish composers. Mr. Kochanski, long a favorite wit! audlences in the National Capital, opened the program with the exacting and brilliant “Concerto in A Minor," by Vivaldi, in which the long, flowing line of melodic beauty in the “ada- glo,” was, perhaps, the high point for admiration. He also won prolonged applause after his two groups of short- er numbers wlllil (::dsr:nlzh group, articularly applauded, the two num- gern by Nin showing Mr. Koghanskl's skijl as an arranger of music for his instrument, and the de Falla “Danse du Feu,” which Miss Hess played in plano form last week 8o inapiringly, leaping even more colorfully in its original medium under the rgmnrknblv gifted fingers of Mr, Kochansl Kreisler’s arrangement of Lehal “Fasquita” was a well chosen col trast for the encore. Plerre Luboschutz was the prefect accompanist for the violinist, and Frederic Bristol also was able in a simflar role for Miss Bori. H. F. DISCUSSES NEWS FIELD. Elements of psycholo gathering were discussed by Avery C. Marks, jr., editor of the Washington Times, in an address yesterday after- noon before the class in journalism at George Washingion University. Mr. Marks also spoke of th pendence of the modern new s In connection with this phase of journalism he took up the question of treedom from political and partisan considerations, and quoted from John Delane, famous editor of the Lon- don Times, who made that publication the most widely read paper in the world. Delane told protesting mem- bers of the British government that “the functions of the government and of the press are entircly separate, frequently divergent, and sometimes t ' diametrically, opposite.” REPAIR OF BENNING SCHOOL IS URGED Citizens Appoint Committee to Seek Improvements—Association Vetoes Ballot.
