Even so, last night Miss Lent's | bow scemed to show increased adroit- | ness in the sustaining of rich tone color | and her fingers were amazing in their agllity and accuracy. She was excel- ! lently accompanied at the piano by George H. Wilson. Miss Lent's Numbers. Miss Lent gave as her regular selec- tions Sammartini's “Canto Amoroso,” Francoeur-Kreisler's “Cicilienne et Ri- gaudon” and “Habanera,” by Sarasate. Her encores were “Spanish Serenade,” by Chaminade, as arranged by Kreisler and Sarasate’s arrangement of Chopin's “Nocturne in E Flat.” The young vio- | linist hurried to Washington fsom | Plattsburg, where she had just given a | concert. The National Capital also can show Justifiable pride in the number of really fine voices that are receiving obviously | intelligent training, as evidenced by the | performance last night.

Nicely balanced tone- color for all the voices was blended into admirable effects, mostly a cap- pella and frequently pianissimo. The only really dramtic work which gave the voices in.full volume and with well managed crescendos was Gounod's “By Babylon's Wave,” which was the final number, There was comparatively little contrast in the other choral num- bers, mcst of them having pastel tints musically, rather than using the full, strong colors of the voices. Mr. Alexander proved a highly capable leader - with ideas not unlike those of. John Finley Williamson of Déyton, Ohio, in the effects desired. He chose an admirably shert program of highly worthy compositions. It wes evident that he had excellent co-opera- tion on the part of local choir and choral leaders in preparing these works, for while they showed the unified color and phrasing necessary under one dominatn leader, they also showed thorough preparation. 7 Boys Win Interest. The 100_small boys, 8 to 12 years of age, and 20 young violinists, who ap- peared under Josef Kaspar's guidance for the Bach “Zion Heard Her Watch- men’s Voices” won the sympathetic in- terest of the audience. The large chorus was gracefully and effectively Iritro- duced in Bach's chorale, “Glory Now chr. - The group had been preceacd «l 3 e up n led by a brief Idg?fi of welcome: made by Commissioner Sidney "Taliaferro and an prelude, ibande," by Klein, one .of Washington's leading or- gsnm.s.
