La Bella Rosa made her annual ap- pearance gracing the last of the current | season's morning programs under Chc' auspices of Mrs. Lawrence Townsend yesterday morning. It has become a tradition for Rosa Ponselle to appear in | j§ the last of each series, leaving a most | § pleasant memory to carry over to ths | R inext season. Each year the audience | | has grown larger and the number of the | § events, too, has increased. This was j quite the most successful of them all t5 | date and will be dificult to improve on | g 1 in another year, H | Sharing this final program yesterday at the Mayflower, which was attended | by Mrs. Coolidge and a capacity audi- |} ence, was Eddy Brown, a young Amer- ican violinist, who had not been heard | in Washington for six or seven scasons. | He has a most facile technique and | lovely intonation and, in spite of the| overpowering popularity and dazzling | beauty of Miss Ponzelle, Mr. Brown won | § his share of appreciative recognition | § from the audience, particularly in; Schumann's “Vogel als Prophet” (which | i MEEE he had to repab), ihe “Theme by| w‘ A% with variations, and the en-| JER ‘Serenade Espagnole,” by Chami- ALYES nade. There also wes a charming a rangement of Paderewski's “Minuet v, Bazzini's “La Rondo des Lutins” was|J brilliantly played. Jossph Bonime was a fine accompanist. | Rosa Ponsello already has had a career that is amazingly brilliant and successful. She is still very young as opera prima donnas go, yet she stands firmly poised on the top rung of the ladder of a singer’s ambitions. From early days of poverty and siruggle, through the even more monotononus period of vaudeville circuits and per.::>- tent drilling study, Rosa Ponsalle worked steadily with her wagonload of am- WELY cans now she is that star. Otto Kahn came for back after months of search in Europe and has been quoted as saying “there is no European singsr or any other singer over there who has the voice and the ability of Rosa Ponselle, the young American of Itallan ancestry.” "It is | no wonder that the Federation of Music | Clubs and other organizations are heap- ing laurels at her feet. Yesterday Miss Ponselle - delighted most of all with her singing of the | operatic airs, including besides thoso from “La Vestale” and “Ernanj,” the “Habanera,” from Bizet’s “Carmen.” However, Miss Ponselle is increasingly | perfecting the more subtle art of con- | cert singing. Perhaps her loveliest num- | ber was “Contemplation,” by Widor. She also did “Quel Ruscelletto,” by Paradies, | Rimsky-Korsakofl's “Nightingale and the | and Veracini’'s “Pastorale” charmingly. The lied “Gretchen am Spinnrad” was well sung with clear dic- | tion, but was not completely satistying, | mosphere of such a song is so alien to | the “singer's natural Latin American | temperament. However, Rosa Ponselle is one of the few really great singers who could sing almost anything and her audience would be thrilled and want more. Stuart Ross was, as usual, an ‘able accompanist. H. F.
