T! bsided quickiy enough, however, when an explanation , was added which showed the aptness of lhe o oice, as it was chosen not but 35 a ges ture ol sincere memorial for Walter Elschner, the and art director, who came to country with the company and yesterday of influ- enza. Mr. Elschner was formerly con- nected with the Hamburg Opera Co. Following the playing of the funerai | ‘music from “Die Goetterdaemmerung. the orchestral sought additional inspira tion in a selection from “Tristan und | Isolde.” A long silence ensued, en- dured with admirable patience and good | will by the large audience. Then, just prior to 4 p. shortly after the ap- pearance ol Mrs Coolidge in her box, the famous chord upon which the open- | ing music of “Das Rheingold” is built, was sounded. The opera was_on. Naturally, the subject of ‘Traditions” was a matter of wide dis- cussion during that one-and-a-h hours of waiting. The writer has not been to Bayreuth, but understands that major points in those famous “tradi- tions” include: No cuts in score; the starting of each and every act on the dot; no admittance or exit all the audience during an act. Such traditions as these certainly were ob- served in Munich when the “Ring” was given at the Prinzregenten Theater (said to be a duplicate of the Bayreuth Festspielhaus), when the writer heard these operas given there in 1926. Also, the scenery (said to be new that year) ‘was admirable; the lighting effects were of the wizardly proportions accredited to the Germans as the world's most ad- vanced experts in that line; and the illusions regarding the maidens swim- ming about in the Rhine in the first act and the transformations of Alberich Wwith the tarnhelm later, were excel- lently contrived. Valhalla Pea Green. The same connt be said of settings, lighting or illusions at yesterday’s per- formance. Valhalla, for whose sup- posedly glorious construction, the gods paid such a price to the giants, was a sickly pea-green painted castle on o cotton backdrop, and seemed given to spells of ague whenever a healthy blast from the brass reverberated backstage. Also the muddy tones of the costumes worn by the gods and goddesses were far from inspiring. However, it may be seriously saiq | that such an effort as the German Opera Company is putting forth to bring this wonder music to American | audiences also should have its place in the scheme of things if properly done. 1t is generally known that the company as it appeared in New York without sufficient rchearsals was uncompro- misingly sat upon by the New York critics. 'What is not,so generally know. is the fact that midway of the first| week Mme. Gadski’s - husband pulled the company from complete fiasco and S. Hurok, a leading New York manager, took over the management. Yesterday at a small luncheon, Hurok stated frankly d\capproval of the lack of enough rehearsals before New York’s premiere. He toid of turn- ing away 1,000 people at the final New York performance before coming to | Washington, and also stated that a re. turn engagement is planned for Ne York at the end of the tour. Mr. Hur: said that a group of private individ ure the establishment oi 1h{= comp: on a sound financial b: ahead for three years at least and hopes of becoming a permanent institution in the United States. The actual performance yesterday certainly could have been improved upon, vet it did follow general Wagner- ian_traditions sufficiently to win really enthusiastic applause at conclusion. Also, once it got under way about 4 p.m. there was no intermission until th end, at 6:30 p.m., and the couples and there who felt obliged to leave scrambled over the toes of others with muttered apologies in the darkness d ing the brief intervals when the curta was lowered. The large majority, how ever, were game. They yed till the end and liked it. Dr. Rabl Fine Musician. Dr. Walter Rabl, who conducted, is obviously a fine musician, saturated with authentic_interpr a, score definitely cut y sent a three-hour opera within half its time. With a thoroughly trained and rehearsed orchestra, Dr. Rabl proi ably would provide an excellent formance.

I Frederick Douglas Johnson, 28 years | old, of the 2200 block of Champlain | | street, who ran down Detective Howard Ogle last night and attempted to es- cape, but was captured by Ogle after | a chase, was fined $50 for leaving the | scene of the accident and $25 for reck- | j§ less driving today, or ordered to serve ' g 40 days in Jail by Justice Isaac R.

Through the curtain of secrecy thrown about the Police Department investi- gatiun of the identity and past history | of “Jaqueline Smith,” mystery woman being held at the House of Detention by order of Police Court Judge John P. McMahon, before whom she was hailed for vagrancy two weeks ago, it was | {learned today that a number of facts | \cunceming her, including her probable | true name, have been brought to light, |8 While admitting that they expect shortly to know who the young woman really is, officials of the ‘Women'’s | § Bureau today refused to divulge either | their information or its source. The most that could be learned was that a letter from Chicago by air mail is due here some time this evening and is‘ expected to clear up the mystery, When questioned concerning his | knowledge of the recent disclosures Judge McMahon said the did not think | it fair to the young woman to tell what he knew until the case again is brought to trial Saturda; erally satisfactory, according to the re- nse it received from the audience terday.
