9 AMUSEEMENTS., THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHIL iTON, D. C. MARCH 4, 1928-PART 4. Elisabeth RethbergtoCreate “The Egyptian Eielen.” i NEGOTIATIONS for the world pre- ; miere of Richard Strauss’ new opera, *The Egvptian Helen,” which have pro- gressed under the most difficult cir- cumstances since last Summer, are finally settled. The world premiere of the opera will take place at Dresden June 6, 1928. Mme. Elisabeth Reth- berg will be the prima donna. Strauss being director of the Vienna opera, and his home being in that city, which has done so much for him, the compeser felt constrained to allow the world premtere of his latest opera there, Strongly expressed desire on_part of Strauss, however, that Mme. Rethberg sing the title role in “The Egyptian Helen,” gave the world premiere to Dresden. Strauss had asked Mme. Reth- borg to create the prima donna role in s preceding opera, “Intermeszo.” At that time she was obliged to refuse the honor, a contract requiring her at the Afetropolitan. This definite decision on Dresden as the scene of the world premiere of “The Egyptian Helen” was made by Strauss on’condition that Mme. Rethberg sing the title role. One copy of the manu- script of the work was sent by its com- poser to the Dresden Opera, the other was forwarded to Mme. Rethberg ta this country with strict injunction that its contents be seen by none, but the Opera set its schedule of the world pre- micre from June 23 to June 6, in order to comply with Mme. Rethberg's Amer- fcan contracts. Sailing for Europe in May, on closing her concert el ment here, the singer will be obliged to return at once, following “The Egyptian Helen" performances, to sing during the Ra- vinia Park Opera season; directly it ends. she appears with the San Fran- cisco Opera Co. in that city and Los Angeles, only reaching New York in | time to brgi;x l\rrae&aonlgt 12 weeks at | the Metropolitan Opera House. “The Egyptian Helen” is the ninth work of Richard Strauss. As most of the famous composers did not bring out more than nine symphonies or operas, the forthcoming work is looked for- ward to with special interest. The music is said to be unusually melodious, demanding pure bel canto singing and the libretto is said to provide vivid ac- tion and colorful scenes. On her arrival in Dresden in May, Mme. Rethberg begins rehearsals at | the opera house, where she began her carcer and was the leading “star. A series of performances will follow th- world premiere of “The Egyptian Helen,” arrangements having been made for ¢ festival week, during which musical celebrities from all sections will be in sine~r herself.

Dept. Comdr. Albert Michaud has called a meeting of the Council of Ad- ministration for Tucsday night at de- partment headquarters, 921 Pennsylva- nia avenue southeast. Col. Rice W. Means, chairman of the national legislative committee, in a re- cent report to Commander-in-Chief Garrity, stated that among legislation receiving the active support of the or- ganization beforc the national Congress are the following measures: A bill by Representative Fitzgerald granting the rights and privileges of soldiers’ homes to Spanish War nurses. This bill has passed the House of Repre- committec. It will be enacted into law in sufficient time to protect the nurses now in those homes. A subcommittee of the veterans' com- mittee of the House of Representatives recently conducted hearings upon the necessary appropriations for construc- tion of Government hospitals, and the Spanish War Veterans' committee pre- sented evidence supporting a request for an appropriation of at least $14,000,- 000 and for a provision of law extending full rights of hospitalization to all vet- erans. making it the duty of the direc- tor of the Veterans' Bureau to hospital- ize the veterans of all wars, campaigns and expeditions when thoss veterans are in need of the same, and the furnishing of necessary traveling expenses. This bill will include all Spanish War nurses, and it is‘belicved that it will be en- acted into law at the presont session of Congress. Chairman Means has been edvised that the Navy Department will propose a bill which they can indorse in brhll; I the terms of that proposal are unsatis- | factory to the warrant officers an en- deavor will be made to amend it. i Gen.

Representatives of several countries, | members of the diplomatic corps and soclety will add by their presence to the brilliency of the occasfon.

The dates are March 12, 19 and 26. The festival will open with a Schu- bert program, at which two novelties will be presented: The guitar quartet, with Mr. Papas as the fourth link of the organization, and Schubert's last quartet, known as Opus 161, published after his death. The numbers are very different in character. The guitar quartet is rich in exquisite melodies, The first part of it, suggesting Mozart in style, is very | romantic; the sccond, tema con varia- | zioni, delicate and poetic, is built on a well known German folk song, “Macdchen Schlummere doch nichi A menuetto, in which the guitar is especially prominent; a lento patetico, giving opportunities for the first violin and cello to be heard above other instruments, and a fantastic “Zingara,” a Hungarian gypsy dance, with its variety of moods and time, are included. The string quartet is very dramatic and scmewhat somber in mood. The last movement, a tarantelle, sparkles with good humor. The “Nocturne for Violin, Cello and Plano” with Malton Boyce, pianist, has been heard in Washington before, As the capacity of the Du Barry hall is lmited tickets will not be sold at the dcor on the afternoon of the con- certs.
