The Italian baritone, Giuseppe de Luca, and the American soprano, Anna Case, opened the current season's ser of morning programs at the Mayflowe: Hotel, presented under the auspices of | Mrs. Lawren.: ‘The large audience filled the ball roo: including all the boxes, and quite a number of folk from New York attended, Fritzi Scheff, star of operetta, was among those in the boxes. ‘There probably is no singer at the| Metropolitan Opera House, in New York | who is held in higher respect, due to the | perfection of his artistry, than is Signor De Luca. He had not been heard in Washington in concert since the war days, when he appeared in an Italian ng with the late Caruso, Dusolina Glannini and other artists. He opened the program with Valentine's famous air from “Faust” and later sang two other operatic airs ad- mirably, “Deh Vieni a la Finestra,” from “Don Glovanni,” and the cavatina from “The Barber of Seville.” The lat- | ter, with its glib, tripping phrases, showed the excellent form of the sing- er's technique and his native mastery of this particular trick, which is a favor- ite in the land of bel canto. He was urged to give two encores and presented a Neapolitan song and Purcell’s “Passing By." The latter was the only number that De Luca sang in which he de- pended at all upon a word book. He won his audlence completely with his art. Miss Case already had been heard here once this scason, having been one of the artists at the concert opening | Constitution Hall as a music auditorium. She seemed in very good voice yesterday. Her first number was the “Jewel Song” from “Faust,” which she sang with quite a few dramatic gestures. Later she fol- lowed the popular trend of the time toward things Spanish and sang a groun of folk songs from Asturia and a Cata- lan Bergerette, all edited and arranged by Kurt Schindler. With her usual precise care, Miss Case presented these songs, but they did not seem quite suited to her; perhaps one should say she is not “the Spanish type.” The memory could conjure too vividly what Lucrezia Bori would have done with these songs from her native land. Also, this group seemed entirely alien to the definitely operatic air of the rest of the | program. One of Miss Case's best nu bers was her own little song, “Anhel which, she mentioned later, she wrote especially for a Spanish fiesta scene In this Miss Case sang softly, apparently without effort or any striving for effect, and she seemed completely at ease. ‘The two duets, the first a rarely heard and lovely duet from the first acl of “Hamlet,” by Thomas, and the second the great favorite of all duets for so- prano and baritone voices, “La ci darem la mano” from Mozart’s “Don Gio- vanni,” })rovlded unusually pleasant mo- ments of music, for the voices of the two singers blended most happily in them. Carroll Hollister was a gifted accom- panist at the piano for both artists. Next week the second morning pro- gram of this series will be presented by Maria Olszewska, European contralto, now singing with the Chicago Opera Co., and Jose Iturbi, a young Spanish pian- ist. who is making his debut in America today.

COUNGILMAN PUT ON SCHODL BOARD James Nickell Elected to Fairfax Body—Street Work Authorized. Special Dispateh to The Star, FAIRFAX, Va. December 5.—James Nickell has been appointed by the Fair- fax Town Council a member of the iocal school board for a three-year term, succeeding Lewis Oliver, who de- clined to serve again. Oliver was ap- pointed last year to serve the balance of the term of Thomas P. Chapman, jr., when the latter moved to Deep Creek, Va. The council authorized the strect and sidewalk commiitee to expend $100 on graveling Warwick strest from Payne sureet to the tracks of the Arlington & Fairfax Raftway, conditioned on the payment by the residents of the Rust subdivision of an equal amount, this money to be in the hands of the town treasurer before work is started. | The same committee was instructed to expend the balance of the sidewalks fund in the repair of broken sidewalks within the corporation. Discuss New Record System. Mayor Thomas P. Chapman was au- thorized to purchase & new Warrant book and council seal, the previous books and many of the town records being destroyed in thefire in Septem- ber, when the mayor's office in the Fairfax Garage Co. building was burn- ed. Councilmen discussed the installa- tion of a new systzm of keeping the town accounts, but action was deferred until a later meeting. The mayor prescnted for approval plans submitted by the Standard Ol Co. for the filiing station it proposes to erect at Payne and Main streets. These were approved in general, with the stipulation that the approval of the council's committee on sidewalks must be obtained before any change is made in the present grade of the sidewalk. Tanks Ordered Removed. The present tanks, located on both | Main street (the Lee Highway) and Payne street. were ordered removed and the company forbidden to erect others on this location. The plans as sub- mitted call fer a building, set back from the building line, with a drive in to the tanks: a grass plot between the build- ing and the lunchroom fronting on Main street and an ornamental barrier between the filling station and the Rust Building, adjoining on Payne street. on among the councilmen emphasized the hope that in view of the location of this new building the company_would give particular atten- tion to the type of architecture em- ployed.
