' Broadening the Scope of Our Service I ICICEICIEICICIE the West En JOHN CHARLES THOMAS RECITAL. One of the largest audiences to gather at the Washington Auditorium this sea- son greeted John Charles Thomas when he appeared there in recital last night. It was an audience of real music lovers and they made known their pleasure in the applause which followed most of the artist’s songs. And well they might applaud, for this singer, with his beau- tiful baritone voice, was at his best last night. He gave a splendid program of songs chosen from a wide range of composers. Not a single song could be termed “hackneyed,” though one or two of them are familiar. From the opening number, the “In- vocazione di Orfeo,” from the opera “Euridice,” to the last number on the regular program, “Mr, Belloc's Fancy,” there .was not a single piece of music that did not receive the utmost care from the singer. Possessed of a voice of unusual purity, strength and viril- ity, the finish and smoothness of tonal quality in Mr. Thomas’ production was apparent at all times. Since the days when he was a mat- inee idol in light opera to his more re- cent triumphs, John Charles Thomas has been a great favorite with Wash- ington audiences. Last night there was recalled his splendid interpretation of Amonasro in the opera “Aida” and again in the title role of “Rigoletto” with the Washington Opera Co. A fascinating little song, “Nicolette,” by Ravel, caught the fancy of the au- dience, as well as “La Priere du Soir,” by Modeste Moussorgsky. These two were in his second group of songs, which concluded with “Salome,” the recitative and aria from the opera { “Herodiade.” Another song _which | proved very popular was “Old Mother Hubbard,” so much so that the singer was obliged to repeat it. A group of songs in English con- cluded the concert. Two of the most interesting and unusual of these were Tod B. Galloway’s “Alone Upon the Housetop” and Sidney Homer's “The Pauper's Drive.” Eric Zardo, Mr. Thomas’ accompa- nist, is a skilled musician, and his play- ing was an excellent complement for the voice of the singer. In his own part of the program Mr. Zardo used three of Chopin’s best works—the “Pre- lude, Op. 28, No. 24,” and the “Noc- | turne, Op. 15, No. 2,” and the “Stherzo in B Flat Minor, Op. 31." The musi- | playing of the nocturne, and the scherzo, too, was delightfully played. For smoking in a mine and endanger- ing the lives of the 536 miners, a young man was arrested at Aercarn, England, recently.
