Boggs of Chevy Chase MUS1C JUILLIARD FOUNDATION PROGRAM That much-discussed organizatian, | the Juilliard Foundation, was the prime | subject_of the program presented yes- | terday before the Priday Morning Music | Club in the assembly room of the Cos- mos Club. Miss Pearl Waugh, well | known pianist and teacher here, gave a short, concise and very clear defini- tion of the foundation, its personnel, its purpose and achievements to date. Following her talk, Miss Waugh in- troduced Winifred Michaelson, the gifted young Washington pianist, who | has been honored for four consecutive | years by receiving a fellowship under | the sponsorship of the Juilliard Foun- | dation. Miss Michaelson was in excel- {lent form and played her two groups with such fresh, vital reading of the | mood of every number that her audi- | ence grew most enthusiastic. There is o doubt that this young pianist has a big gift for artistic interpretation, an individual touch and thorough ground- |ing in_technique. She gives an au- thoritative reading, accurate, and at | the same time filled with originality in | interpretation. Miss Michaelson played first the { “French Suite in G Major,” by Johann | Sebastian Bach. This suite in its en- | tirety is not often heard; and the two | more pensively rhythmed dances, the | sarabande and loure, offered excellent | opportunity for contrast to the bounc- | ing liveliness of the gavotte and gigue, which immediately followed them, re- spectively. No matter what her speed | of execution, Miss Michaelson always achieved a clear, ringing, bell-like tone. | Her personality and business-like mag-. | ner when playing, with apparent in- | terest and enjoyment herself of what she is doing, add greatly to the effec- | tiveness of her efforts. It is safe to | predict that this young lady is only be- | ginning what promises to be a brilliant career, and Washington can well be proud that she is a native daughter. Miss Michaelson also played a group of Rachmaninoff’s preludes, which in- cluded neither the popularized “C Sharp Minor” nor the almost equally familiar “G Minor Prelude.” The four played | all were exquisite, short poems in | music. They were Nos. 1, 3, 6 and 2 of | opus 23, all written with modern color. | Tschaikowsky’s “Humoresque” was an | attractive encore. "The singer of the morning was Emily Coville, a comparative newcomer here, who is being heard quite frequently. She has a lovely quality voice with clear high notes especially and also seems to possess much intelligence and artistry in style and interpretation. Outstand- ing in successful treatment of the songs she presented were Schumann’s “Mond- nacht,” Foudrain's “Le Papillon,” Sigurd Lie’s “Soft-Footed Snow” and Clough- Leiter's “My Lover, He Comes on the Skee.” Her French pronunciation was particularly good and she also achieved the spirit of the Foudrain song. Mrs. Coville showed careful preparation and thorough command by memory of the contents of every number. She won | appreciative applause and two encores from her audience. She does not seem to have acquired quite that complete control of legato phrasing that shows a big fund of breath with no fear that it may be exhausted. Due to the illness of her announced accompanist, Kathryn Hill Rawis, Mrs. Coville was_accom- panied at the plano by Lucy Bricken- stein, who was, as always, sympathetic and musician H P, ENEMY WAR ACES MEET. PARIS, December 29 (#).—Enemies once, Ernst Udet, one of Germany's leading aerial fighters, and Rene Fonck, France's ace, yesterday exchanged compliments and cordial handshakes. The occasion was an official recep- tion to Udet by the Aero Club of France. “I am proud to welcome so chivalrous a fighter,” said Fonck. “Your courteous and fraternal greet- ing deeply touches me,” responded the German.
