An_excellent performance of “Sieg- fried,” the third in the eyeie of four operas in Richard Wagner's famous “Ring des Nibelungen,” was given by the German Grand a Co., 2t Pell's Theater last night. e audience was | larger perhaps tham those attending former performances, including, in ad- dition to the many faces familiar now by their presence &t the other operas, newcomers who swelled the sudience to practically a capaeity house. Keen at- tention and warm enthusissm were shown. “Siegfried” was particularly well done. Dr. Walter Rabl, who is conducting the entire “Ring.” had his orchestra | well under command and brought out all of the by now numerous “metives” |of the musical score with admirable | emphasis and blending. Mime’s theme, ! which is featured in the epening scene, and the “Wurm” theme, which fore- shadows the dominamt action of the seeond act, in each ease was colorfully set forth and developed so as to create that intangible atmosphere necessary to make the action eonvineimg as it,| in turn, on the stage, unfolds the dra- matic 'story. TReré were perhaps a few moments during the g of the “Bird of the Porest”—as irably vocalized by Dorothy Githens—when the light, high voice, seemed threat- ened with drowning i the resomance of the orchestral accompaniment, but for the most part. the orchestra was kept down admirably to complement the voices. Anna Scherr’s Bruennhilde. Karl Joern, who was heard here to marked advantage earlier in the “Ring” as Loge and, later, as Siegmund, was very satisfying in the title role of Siegfried. He is young enough and of a build that makes his characteriza- | tion thoroughly in keeping with the im- agination’s logical rled. He was equipped equally well vocally for this role and he injected & pleasant and un- suspected touch of humor in his treat- ment of the reed pipe bit of “stage Business” in the second act. Anna Scheffier Schorr, who sang the Sieglinde Monday night, was the Bru- ennhilde last night. Although she was not the Bruennhilde that WDG;!{\ ut to mes yet, at the same time, a eertain amount of individual tation. 3 ‘Waldemar Henke gave a star interpre- tation of the role of Mime.

It has been the custom. however, for Congress to appropriate for the salary of officials who serve under recess appointments without pay, and fail of confirmation. But to all of this the former treas- urer did not refer when he faced the little gathering of loyal officials who came to show their faith and friend- ship for him. * He responded briefly and with deep feeling to the brief talk of A.

To know that his friends in the office felt toward him as they did. “Mercilessly Crucified.” “I have been mercilessly crucified,” declared Tate, without mentioning any names, and it was a gri tion to him to know that his friends in the Treasury feel “that others should be more embarassed than 1.” In presenting the gift, Mr. Starratt expressed the “esteem and affection” of friends in the Treasury, and declared the gift was meant to show in comcrete form “the lasting confidence and love” O e i i th Ty ¥ your send their very best wishes,” said Star- ratt, “for your success and happiness in the fature.” The wateh was appro- pristely engraved.
