The tale, in its essen- | tials, is the working out of the half- | insane postman’s jealousy of the lover,| whom he kills, and the culmination of | the woman's grief and remorse in her | suicide. “The Doll,” announced as a “highly | imforobable fantasy,” shares the thea- | ter’s current bill. It is a naive and.en- tertaining conception, akin in idea to | the “Coppelia” ballet, in which a re- | markable mechanical doll is confused | with its human original.

Elvina Neal Rowe, one of the prettiest of singers in Washington, and Felian Garzia, who has a reputation both here and in New York as a performer and also as a pedagogue, presented a joint song and piano recital before members 2nd guests of the Congressional Country Club In the Pompeiian room yesterday afternoon. French numbers dominated the program, especially works by De- ssy. Mrs. Rowe sang “Mandoline,” by this composer, very well, and perhaps her beést number of the afterncon was the lavely air, “Depuis le Jour,” from Car- pentier’'s opera, “Louise.” This singer’s high notes are well placed ‘and she takes | them softly with gradually swelling tones to fortissimo that are most effec~ tive. Also her diction is very clear in every language in which she was heard yesterd: The air, “Deh Vieni, Non ‘Tardar,” by Mozart, was nicely done, and the dialect of the negro spiritual, “Oh, Didn't it Rain!” was well handled. | Mr. Garzia seemed to win his audi- ence most completely with his two Debussy selections, “La Cathedrale Engloutie” and “Danse,” which he gave with keen appreciation of the require- ments of the impressionistic style. His opening group included a short prelude by Mendelssohn and a familiar ballade by Chopin. The last group listed the ‘Forest Murmurs,” by Liszt, and the intricate Schul vler arrangement of Johann Stra always popular “Blue Danube 1tz. HY 0 Mexican Insurgent Chief Slain.
