Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York, who kept a President and three capi- net officers waiting to see him yester- day, concluded his flying visit to Wash- ington with perfect consistency by keep- ing his train walting late yesterday afternoon. Dashing into Union Sta- tion after a visit to the Capitol, he found the train snorting to go and Statlonmaster Harry Marks waving him on. He rushed aboard. heaved a sigh of relief, and that was the last Washington saw of him.

The beautiful blonde prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera House, Maria Jeritza, brought all the charm of her personality and the gayety that Is truly Viennese to an appreciative audience which packed Poll's Theater to hear the soprano’s nual Washington recital yesterday afternoon. Although her group of German selecti probabl, March 8 MARCH 8. 1928. touched the highest mark demonstrat- ing her artistry yesterd: it was cer- tainly the group of songs in English, es- peclally the quaint, almost comical, little songs that made up the five encores, which won Mme. Jeritza the heartiest admiration and enjoyment from her audience. She has a remarkable sense of humor and a frank pleasure in dramatizing the amusing points of these songs that 1s not unlike the art of Chaliapin. Immediately, with such tac- tics, she won her audience completely. Among the most enjoyed of the Eng- lish group were Rasbach's ‘“Trees.” “When Love Is Kind,” by Moore; “Love Has Eyes,” by Bishop, and “The Cuckoo” stiffness and also some deviation from key, ir. her final acia, “Suicidio,” from Ponchielli’s “La Gloconda,” the soprano seemed much more at east and gave a dramatic rendition. She followed this number with Augustus Holmes' “Au Pays” and Mrs. Beach's “The Year's at_the Spring.” Quite the loveliest numbers of the aft- | ernoon were Schumann's “Widmung,” | “8ong of the Lute,” from Korngold's| opera, “Die Tote Stadt”; Rlchlrdi ‘;Slrluu' “Cacille,” and the encore for| { that grou, Elsa’s Traum,” from | “Lohengrin.” Emil Polak was, as aiways, a remark- ably fine accompanist, equal to the —the one that everybody knows, the slightest emergency and equally skill- cuckoo who “is his father's only son.” | ful when accompanying John coé,u.m, ‘There is not a little Viennese dialect |8 young violinist, with fine technique, clinging o Mme.
