THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SEPTEMB 8—~PART 11 Albion Plans to Increase DISTINGUISHED CONDUCTORS TO LEAD SYMPHONY ORCHESTRAS HERE THIS WINTER Second Co-Operative Series to Include Local Artists DOUARD ALBION, general di- rector of the Washington Na- tional Opera Company, has Scope of National Opera city working out plans for re- organization and enlarging the scope of the company. F “There are certain fundamental things which must be done before we pass into the next period of de- velopment of the Washington National Opera Company,” Mr. Albion said. “A national board of trustees 1s being | formed, of which Frederic A. Delano is | chairman. “Associated as Mr. Delano is with the plans for the building of a greater | Capital, there is no man who can bring | more insight to our present plans than | he. He sees the possibilities of Wash- | ington and the relation of the opera to | the future cultural growth of the cit; “In addition to the board of trustees, Mr. Albion further said. “I am bringing together a general council, which is to be made up of social, business and art leaders of the Nation. These men and women will act in advisory capacity. Several of them have functioned in this way privately in the past. “Then, too, I find that a differen: policy must be followed in the person- | nel of the company if the finer artistic | Tesults ere to be obtained. The ensem- | ble must_be made up of those who de- sire to advance to real careers. I have made a begliining toward the assem- bling of the greater national company. During the Summer I have held two voice trials in New York and have es- tablished a training unit there. Fur- ther auditions will be held in other sections of the country and the most promising student material of the Na- tion will be given place in the ranks of our_company. “The central unit- of the training groups will be in Washington. The New Yor™: unit has been made necessary be- cause so many of the most earnest stu- dents of the country are already there. They are sadly wasting time for lack of the proper direction. The mere vocal studio, however good it may be, cannot build an artist. | “Applications for places with us are coming in daily. Several such students have been accepted and are seeking po- sitions to maintain themselves her: while studying. It begins to look as if an employment office would have to become a part of our activities. limited field for remunerative activities for musicians is truly one of the seri- ous handicaps in developing the com- pany here in Washington. So many, with the best voices have no money to carry them forward, and we cannot as yet give enough performances to main- tain them. We do give a large part of the ‘ ~ining without fee as incidental to the opera performances. These op- Portunmes for public appearance, which in Europe are to be had only by paying a substantial fee, are afforded our younger student artists when they are Teady for them. “Dut season, for example, Rose Pollio, who has had a number of appearances, portrayed the major role of the mother in ‘Hansel and Cretel.” Many patrons commented on_her peise and beauty of tone. Miss Pollio has had her entire training and experience with our organization. “George Beuchler is another young ‘Washington singer who was taken from a position on the staff of station WRC, winning over 75 applicants. This was a real honor for so voung a lad. “Adolph Turner is another young member of the company who aiready has won his spurs and is receiving out- side approval. Wilfred Smith, John Paul Kvale. Russell Burroughs and Ed- ed from the ranks of the ensemble to season. “Charlotte Harriman Trowbridge Tittmann are two Washing- ton artists, not trained except in the dramatic department of our organiza- “It is hoped that this representation from Washington can be much enlarged as the work progresses. Any young | singers with real voices and ambition to achieve careers are invited to talk with | me at any time they wish to make ap- pointment. “We already have assembled the neu- cleus of cur truly national company. audience.

E. Christiani, president; B. Frank Gebest, vice presider will open its doors for its first season tomorrow in the new and spacious headquarters, 831 Eighteenth street northwest. This | { | q EDOUARD ALBION. —Harris-Ewing. John Charles Thomas and Sigurd Nils- sen, both of whom made their operatic debut with us; John Sample, Arthur Hackett, Paul Althouse, recently ac- claimed by Germany as perhaps the greatest exponent of Wagnerian roles; Howard Preston, Allen Hinckley, Mary Lewis, Luella Melius, Elda Vettori, Mil- dred Seeba, Rosa Low, Marie Montana, Dorothy Speare, Frances Peralta, Mar- jorie Maxwell, Madeleine Elba, Jeanne Gordon, May Barron, Grace Leslie, Ruth Macillwaine, all will be recalled and retained as a permanent part of our national opera company. ‘This is in accord with our consistent policy of discovering and developing a purely native operatic voice. “Further interesting developments and a more specific announcement of plans will be given at an early date. “Meantime, I would urge that as Washington is every citizens’ commu- the boy choir at St. Patrick’s at. the age of 16 and under careful supervision and training has been brought before the public and won approval from the nity, so the Wi National Opera C-~mpany is every citizens’ opera. It is the door of opportunity to the genius of the Nation.” MUSIG TI-IE First Congregational Choir will be called together for the first time this season next Saturday night by the director, Ruby Smith Stahl, who will be glad to hear new applicants by appoint- ment. While there is some thought of | enlarging all parts of the choir, it\isi known that there will be several vacan- cies in the alto, bass and second soprano sections. As in the past the choir will feature considerable eight-part “a cappella” singing—in fact, it already has engage- ments for three such concerts this Win- ter. For auditions, call Mrs. Stahl, De- catur 2721. Paul Tchernikoff of Washington is vacationing in Rockport, Mass., where he says “artists have taken over all the old wharfs and converted them into charming studios. It's a fine place to loaf and swim.” Willard Howe of the Music Leader is visiting in historic Boston and will be back in Washington shortly. Beatrice Seymour Goodwin, director and soprano soloist of St. Alban’s Choir, has returned from her vacation spent in western Maryland and will re- open her studio at 1406 H street north- west tomorrow, for the season. Maj. Charles J. Ferris, U. S. A, com- pleted a series of Sun®aer engagements with the Swarthmore Chautauqua last Monday and has returned to Washing- ton. Maj. Ferris will leave again in October to present programs of songs, readings with music and dialect char- acterizations at various educational in- stitutions in the East. Anna Sloan, cellist, has returned to Washington after a successful three- month tour in joInt recital programs. The Capital City Trio, of which Miss Sloan is founder, will be heard fre- quently this Winter in chamber music concerts presented via the radio. Mrs. Lawrence Townsend, whose musical morning programs have becomg a distinctive feature of Washington’s ‘Winter season, will return from her Summer home at Schroon Lake in the Adirondacks, where she has been rest- ing, September 17. Rosa Ponselle, who was injured by a golf ball which struck her on‘the fore- head recently, recovered sufficiently so that she was able to present her concert scheduled for that very night which was given for the purpose of raising a fund for tuberculosis patients. Miss Ponselle sang, though she had a lump as large as a walnut on her forehead, and a large sum was raised for the charity. Esther Prillik, her secretary, reported that, fortunately, no bones were broken. Miss Ponselle, a favorite in Washing- ton, will appear in two concerts here during the season of 1928-9. T. Arthur Smith, Washington man- ager whose specialty is the leading out- of-town orchestras that have Washing- ton on their schedule, has been spend- RAPHS left the city for a motor trip through ::Sen Adirondacks and the White Moun- | s. Miss Wentworth will return to the city September 24, and will at once re-open her studio on Girard street for the Winter season. Louis Potter, well known Washington musician, who has been in Charleston, W. Va, for the past three years, where he has held an important post as di- rector of music and organist of Baptist Temple, has returned to the National Capital and will formally open the music season at the Calvary Methodist Church, on Columbia road, today. Mr. Potter achieved special note with the chorus choir of 50 voices which he organized in Charleston, where he gave a number of distinctive programs and also presented some of the standard oratorios. He will organize such a chorus choir at Calvary Methodist Church. Mr. Potter also announces that his| studio for organ pupils will be at the | church. His piano studio has been opened at 1325 G street northwest. Ruby Potter, Washington soprano, also has returned here with her hus- band and will be the soprano soloist at the church. Mrs. Potter will have her voice studio located at the church. Prof. and Mrs. George F. Kortzenborn have returned from their vacation and announce the opening of the Fall term of the Kortzenborn voice studio, former- ly the Lawrence voice studio, at 1145 Connecticut avenue. The usual choral practice of the studio members will be held Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. This will be in the nature of a welcome home and it is hoped that all students will' be present. In addition to the usual practice of the glee club, it is expected that plans for the coming season will be announced. Prof. Kortzenborn advises that he hopes to establish a unique society composed of those who are seriously interested in the intensive study of choral music. All who are interested in joining such a society will be welcomed. . ‘The Bowen Quartet sang at the serv- ices conducted by the Laymen’s Asso- ciation at St. James’ Episcopal Church, Tracys Landing, and St. Mark’s Chapel, Nutwell, Md,, last Sunday. In the absence of Tench T. Marye, baritone; the quartet was assisted by J. Harris Franklin. The other members are Emma S. Smith, soprano; Harold M. Brown, tenar, and Eleanor Baker Spencer, contralto and director. Lewis Atwater, Washington organist, is spending his vacation in Gloucester, Mass., but will return shortly for the new season.

Its courses | of study include those leading to grad- | uate, teacher and artist diplomas, as well as the higher degrees of bachelor, of music and doctor of music. Stu- dents may follow any course or study any instrument, independent of the | idea of graduation. | ‘The conservatory is founded on the | ideals of the best musical instruction of European and American institutions.

They are the re- cently consolidated New York Philhar- | monic-Symphony Orchestra and the Philadelphia ~ Symphony Orchestra. Both are brought, as usual, by Mr. T. Arthur Smith, a favorite manager in ‘Washington, who has been established here for many years. ‘The Philadelphia Symphony Orches- tra will open the season orchestrally: with the first of a series of five con- certs November 13. All five programs are Tuesday afternoon concerts and will be given at the Washington Auditorium, beginning in each case promptly at 4:30 p.m. Leopold Stokowski, who is a popular conductor with Washington audiences and the leader who built the Philadel- phia Symphony Orchestra into the marvelous organization that it has be- come, will conduct this first program. Due to bad health, Mr. Stokowski has been out of the country for about a year, traveling in the Orient and study- ing Oriental music. His appearance at the Auditorium November 13 will mark his return to Washington after a lapse on Promised of a whole season. In view of the still serious condition of his health, Mr. Sto- kowski and his physician are quoted as deciding that they “feel it unwise for him to conduct throughout the season” | and the association has arranged with Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the excellent con- ductor of the Detroit Symphony Or- chestra, and Sir Thomas Beecham, the remarkable British conductor who won local approval with his one brilliant achievement here last season, to con- duct the remaining four concerts. The dates of these concerts are December 11, January 22, February 12 and 26. The New York Philharmonic-Sym- phony Orchestra will make its first appearance in Washington . since the big merger of the New York Symphony with the New York Philharmonic Or- chestra, January 8, when it will be conducted by the Dutch wizard, Willem Mengelberg, another popular conductor with audiences in the National Capital. The two_ other programs to be given here by this orchestra will be presented January 29 and March 5. Both will be conducted by the Italian genius, Arturo Toscanini. Mr. Smith announces that the three New York Philharmonic-Symphony concerts also will be a Tuesday after- noon series, beginning at the hour of 4:30 p.m., and will be given at thz Na- tional Theater. Daniel Studio Announces Anniversary Fall Recital ‘DNA BISHOP DANIEL announces that her studio will open for the season tomorrow. Also Mrs. Daniel an- nounces that a special Autumn recital will be pres'nted to celebrate the twelfth anniv:.sary of the Daniel Studio of Singing, on Tuesday night, October 2. In this recital the advanced students who have continued their studies throughout the Summer, will participate.

Boys who have reached fifth grade and are under 12 years of age will be considered for the choir scholarships, which include preparatory school work as well as a thorough grounding in music. The boys accepted by Mr. Priest on Tuesday will sing with the com- bined choir at the four great open-air services to be held in the amphitheater during the General Convention. The new choir boys selected will be given scholarships in the choir form of St. Alban’s, the National Cathedral school for boys, where for 19 years the singing boys of Washington Cathedral have been given their secular education through the Lane-Johnston scholarships for Cathedral choristers. These scholar- ships were established by the late Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston, niece of Presi- dent Buchanan, in memory of her two sons. James Buchanan Johnston and Henry Elliott Johnston, Mrs. Johnston conceived the idea of memorializing her sons by the gift of funds to provide for the erection and maintenance of a school for the Cathedral choir boys which would insure the sweet melody of boyish voices in the Cathedral worship through all the years to come.
