Father Viachislav Gindlin, rector. It was 22 years ago when the famous basso first sang the roleof the gypsy chief in the premiere performance of Serge Rachmaninoff’s one-act opera “Aleko” in what is now Petrograd. Last night he sang this role again, for the | first time in Washington. Greeted by Storm of Applause. His interpretation vocally and dramat- feally stood forth. He also sang a group of songs near the close of the pro- gram and aroused a storm of applause and shouts of bravo, having to give sev- eral encores—most of which were com- ical in mood and given with facile artistry. His “Song of the Volga Boatmen” is interesting in its individual coloring and emphasis of phrase. | Mr. Shvetz came to Washington from Philadelphia especially for this per- formance. He is now with the Philadel- gl.'nsh Grand Opera Co. He previously Apgzll’td with the Chicago Grand Mme.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 26.—The injec- tion of sound in motion pictures has “quickened the pulse of the industry and shot mew blood through its ar- teries,” Will H. Hayes, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distrib- utors of America, Inc, told his direc- tors yesterday. In his seventh annual review Mr. dience of 250,000,000 is being incréased rapidly through the introduction of sound effects which have served “to open a new wealth of story material, formerly unusable because it lacked sufficient action for the silent screen.” “The one obstacle which stands in the way of the greatest progress of sound or silent pictures,” sald Mr, Hays, “is the attempt which still per- sists in some places to censor, to place & previous restraint on utterances and action. This tendency has extended itself, in contravention to the spirit of the first amendment to the Constitu- & That part of the letter you don’t write, often says more than the message.

The only sure | way to get rid of dandruff is to dis- solve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at | night when retiring: use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gen- tly with the finger tips. | By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and two or three more applications will com- | pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, | and your hair will look and feel a | hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. Four | ounces is all you will need, no mat- | ter how much dandruff you have.| This simple remedy never fails—Ad- ||| vertisement. | Smart BAGS That Will Be Seen Next Sunday in the Easter Promenade $7.50 Most of the bags sketched come in black and smart colors. e T —Top-strap pouch bag of pin_seal, with simulated shell frame—smart mod- ernistic clasp—silk lining— inside purse and mlrrosr:’ B —Back-strap bag of calf skin, with wide strap that forms the back strap— simulated shell frame—silk lined and fitted ......$7.50 —Back-strap pouch bag of water snake with calf skin back.
