Soucek Exceeds 17,- 000-Foot Altitude in Loaded Seaplane at Philadelphia. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, May 29.—A new American record for seaplanes carrying | useful loads of 1,000 kilograms was ' established by Lieut. Zeus Soucek, U. S. Navy pilot, vester- i day when he flew the Navy plane PN-12 to an alti- tude of more than 17,000 feet. The American record 7.979 ing boat. The exact height reached by the plane, which al-| ready this month has broken three world’s records for | seaplanes of its| type, will not bei known, Navy officials say, until the offi- cial barographs carried in the plape are calibrated at Washington. In his flight of two hours, 48 minutes | and 10 seconds, Lieut. Soucek hoped to better the world's altitude record for | seaplanes carrying 1,000 kilograms, buti f:?:d by approximately 2,000 feet. The | world's record in this class is 19,196 feet, established at Altenheim, Switeer- land, on July 18, 1927, by Richard Wagner in a Dernier “Merkur.” The world's record for land planes Is 38,792 feet, held by Renate Donati of Ttaly. Lx’eut, Soucek declared that he could have stayed aloft longer, but because of the cold at 17.000 feet he was unable to | get sufficient revo;gn:m out of higut)w Wright Cyclone 525-horsepower motors. %‘m lieutenant said he used his oxy- gen flask but once, but only as a pre- caution and not of necessity.

Ave. NEW CHORAL GROUP MAKES DEBUT HERE Society Artistically Presents Gounod’s “Redemption” at Washington Auditorium. A new choral organization that pro- mises to fill the place in time that for- | merly was held by the now inactive | Washington Choral Society—the Na- | tional Capital Oratorio Association— made its debut most auspiciously at the | Washington Auditorium last night. 'AM W. Harned, director, has been engaged in musical activities here for some time, but in the direction of Gounod's “Redemption,” the work chosen for presentation last night, Mr. Harned showed his capacities more fully than previously here. He not only has | energy and musicianship, but the ability | to get from a chorus such as he had | last night, of 250 Washington voices, | results that are admirable both as to diction and tonal volume. With the exception of John Pinley Williamson, visiting directors have not won as | satisfactory results with large groups of | local singers. Greeted by Large Audience. |, A large audlence, filling at least two- | thirds of the orchestra seats and a fair portion of the balcony of the huge | suditorium, showed muck enthusiasm | over the event. In many of the boxes | were representatives of social, diplo- matic and civic groups as well as lead- | ers in music circles, The Gounod work has not been given in Washington, so far as could be | learned, since the end of the nineteenth century. It is a work with brilliant movements and many passages that are | reminiscent to opera lovers of the com- poser’s most famous opera, “Faust.” There are moments that suggest the tone poem in quality and others that are decidedly operatic. It is far from the patterns of religious works such as Bach and Handel made dominant ex- amples of the art of oratorio. There is little counterpoint, practically none, un- til the final chorus. The orchestra in its most effective purely instrumental selection, “The Darkness,” brought to mind the rhythms and construction of Debussy’s “La Mer.” solo passages were largely written with long phrases to be sung on one note, rising or falling from one-half to a whole tone. This | recitative effect .might have been | helghtened in dramatic quality con- siderably had the singers speeded their | tempos up a bit. Fine Precision a Feature. The chorus sang with fine precision |and usually good attack. They seemed to gain in confidence and sense of the underlying rhythms as the work pro- | gressed and were at thefr best in “Un- |fold, Ye Portals Everlasting,” “Lovely | Appear” and the final, “The Word is | Flesh Become.” | Of the soloists John Marville, basso, | walked away with first honors from every point of view. Mr. Marville has | & beautiful, full voice which he con- trols with artistic restraint; his dietion is easy and without localisms in pro- nunciation; he put more of the dra- | matic feeling into his singing of the { beautiful words that he. as one of the | narrators, had to sing. than any of the | others in the event. He also sang one | of the tenor recitatives in “The Ascen- sion.” Dr. Dudley, barmone, showed dignity and appreciation of the role of Jesus, which he sang. Eugene Dahl, tenor, sang very well as the other nar- rator, wi a voice quality that was of crystalline clarity. Jessie Masters, noted for her enunciation. sang the | role of Mary pleasingly. She is listed | as a contralto, but the quality of her | |vo)ce as shown last night would seem | rather of soprano range. i Florence Sindell Wins Applause. Florence Sindell, whose very high so- prano voice was at its best last night, sang her two short solos and her high part in the choral work with splendid effect. Mrs. Sindell showed nice legato style and excellent judgment in the S Save unnecessary ex- renewals. The loan can be repajd in DIRECTORS: JOHN B. GEIER ADOLPH LEVY the U. £ Southmen !
