District suffrage should he made into | a national issue rather than a purely { local movement, the club decided. ~ In | the resolution introduced by Mrs. Mari- ette Hawkins it was pointed out that the District has a greater population than six States ncw represented in Con- gress.

STAR., WASHING MUSIC ' The group of Washington musiclans iwio have felt the urge of the creative instinct to a marked degreerand formed the Washington Composers' Club, with Dorothy DeMuth Watson as chajrman, presented thelr second concert of the season last night. The audience, made up of friends and fellow musiclans, filled the lounge of the clubhouse of the American Association of University Women. It showed by keen attention and applause a warm interest in and appreciation of the efforts of those who composed and presented the works last 1 night. The first public concert given by the Composers’ Club of this city & year ago this Spring was a very lengthy affair, prosenting many types of compositions This year the club has managed differ- ently and arranged three programs, of which this was the second. The first | presented choral works, principally, and | also featured piano selcctions. Chamber music was featured last night.. The third program to be given later this ‘Sm'h\x will present works of orchestral type. | “"The guest of the club last night was | John Prindle Scott of New York, whose | songs have found wide acceptance by singers on the concert stage and in the | choir loft. Herman Fakler, Washington Yaritone, sang the three Scott songs |last night, accompanied at the plano bv the composer. The songs were not new. They were “Revelation.” “The Old Road" and “Romeo in Georgia.” the last mentioned being an excellent en- core song with a comical turn in its last verse. The other song group was presented by Alexander Hennemann, a member of the club, who played the accompan!- ment for his two numbers, “God Is Nigh” and “Jewel of Joys, Arise.”” A last-minute change in singer had to be made, as Harry Maycock, tenor. origi- nally scheduled. was called out of town and Mr. Gumbrecht played the flute obbligato for the second song, which was (he more interesting of the two and showed that Mrs. Sinclair has some lovely high notes. La Salle Spler opened the program with “Sonata for Violin and Piano,” with Henri Sokolov playing the violin part. It is really difficult to comment upon this work. It had its folk tune in the background, moments of pizzi~ cato charm, a chime-like melody in the second movement, described as “With Warmth and Ardor”; irritating dis- sonances and apparently meaningless meanderings in the piano part of the third movement, which was titled, “Fast, But Not Too Jolly,” and a final return to the folk melody and its con- trapunatal tappings ‘at a breakneck speed in the finale. It seems to be one of those new works that might benefit by an immediate second hearing. The hit of the evening musically was Mary Howe's “Fantasque for Cello and Plano.” Here was a definite, musi- clanly plece of writing, unified, original and charming. Mrs. Howe, who played the piano part. also has excellent sup- port in Bart Wirtz, first violoncellist of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. The work is concisely written, was well played and held the interest every mo- ment. It would seem to be a real addi- tion to chamber music literature, H. F OFFICERS SHIFTED.
