BETTER PRISbN WORKING CONDITIONS ARE URGED Pat Crowe Advocates More Favor- able Legislation in Address Be- fore Kiwanis Club. Legislation providing for more favor- able working conditions for prisoners in National and State penitentiaries was urged by Pat Crowe, former outlaw and bandit, in an address at a luncheon of the Washington Kiwanis Club in the Hotel Washington yesterday. Mr. Crowe reviewed his early training, told of crimes later on and then of his efforts in later years to better conditions for the younger generation. James B. Evans, chairman of the club’s orthopedic and welfare commit- tee, reported that two medical lamps, which the public school board did not have funds to purchase, had been sup- plied by the club for the use of crippled children at Weightman’s School. The MUSIC EMMA REDELL'S RECITAL. ‘Washingtonians should be proud to claim Emma Redell, dramatic soprano. There should have been & much larger audience to welcome her at the Na- tional Theater yesterday afternoon when she made her local debut in a formal song recital. As it was, there were many who had known her from early childhood, when her parents moved here from Baltimore, through her high school days, until she went to New York to continue her vocal studies. There also were not a few music lovers and connolsseurs who have sufficient interest to feel the same thrill at a fine artist’s debut in concert that many people feel at a theatrical “first night.” Such members of yesterday's audience were rewarded for their at- tendance, No artist of international Metropolitan Opera Co., has appeared in Washington who was better equipped for concert work. It was obvious that all who attended yesterday recognized applause that was given after each number. Emma Redell has a beautiful voice, particularly mellow and rounded in the middle register, but with accurate, clear high notes. Her highest notes were more_lovely in the Itallan songs than the German, although she sang all her numbers with the authority and finish training in the traditions. Emma Redell, physically, rather reminds one of the British Florence Austral. She has the build of a singer, with excel- lent breath control, admirable diction in each language in which she sang and no scooping for tones. She seems to know the art of bel canto very well indeed. The only criticism might be that occasionally, in the German lieder, the high notes had more color and effectiveness if placed more.forward in her head as she sang. Miss Redell is an intelligent singer who also has real warmth in her singing. Moreover, she sang entirely from memory with no word book to destroy the {illusion of sim- plicity that is real art. The program opened with the cava- and & group of three Donaudy songs, all charmingly presented. The air, “Madre, Poetosa Virginia” from Verdi's “Force of Destiny” followed.

Outstanding in a group of American songs was Spross’ “Fulfillment.” A group of Negro spirituals completed the program, all of them greeted with applause. Miss Anderson's singing of these spirituals, however, did not seem to emphasize their simplicity, but rather to attempt to make art songs of them.
