RUSSIAN PROTEST MASS SAID BY POPE o o was the Exile Choir Impresses Crowd :;:em in Christendom’s Largest Church. By the Associated Press. VATICAN CITY. March ll—Pnpei Plus XI entered St. Peter's Basilica, | the largest church in christendom, this | forenoon and said mass of protest and expiation for the religious persecution | and the anti-religious movements in ‘Russia A great crowd heard him, and lst- | ened to a large choir of Russians, | Orthodox Greeks and Ruthenians chant Slavic hymns. The unexpected presence | of the Russian choir produced the| most profound impression on the throng | inside the Basilica. The regular choir, composed of semi- marians of many nations, first sang the “Miserere.” Then, after a pause, the | Russian choir chanted without accom- niment their hymns, asking God for elp after having been driven out of | their own country. i The pontiff received a tremendous ovation. A score of cardinals accom- panied him, and while he was being vested at the foot of the altar ap- roached him one by one and kissed is ring. { His holiness wore a white chasuble | studded with gold. He was served by a deacon, a subdeacon and two as-| sistants. During the ceremony he stood ll‘ the altar—known as the baldacchino— | directly over the tomb of the martyred | St. Peter. Its position enabled’ him to look out over the heads of the throng. At the foot of the altar there stood | & platoon of Noble Guards, with hel- mets, heavy blue tunics and light blue trousers. Near the altar was a tribune | of the diplomatic corps facing the throne chair, placed at the foot of the altar for the pontiff. Many plain-clothes men circulated around the cathedral to preclude any incident. The cathedral doors were closed after the Pope entered. BERLIN CHURCHES DESECRATED. Communists Blamed as Bible Text Is Smashed. BERLIN, March 19 (#).—Communists were charged today with attacks on church edifices in Berlin during the night.

It was said here in dispatches from Moscow that the ant-religious cam- paign would be extended to America. Sz 8 New Mexico Park Favored.

Trial REE Jilismasman : by five Washington compose: MUSIC COMPOSERS AT ARTS CLUB. ‘The new auditorium of the Arts Club of Washington, which recently was im- proved when the walls were finished and some colorful decorative paiutings hung, scene of a musical laboratory t last night. An audience that rflowed capacity listened atten- tively to a rather long program of works rs. Edward | Potter, himself a member of the Wash- ington Com ' Club, of which all five appearing last night are members, in- troduced the chairman of the club, Dorothy DeMuth Watson. Mrs. Watson, in turn, made what announcements were necessary during the evening. The composers represented were Dorothy Raddle Emery, Henry S. Gregor, Karl | Holer, R. Deane Shure and La Salle | Spier. The majority of the composi- | tions given were heara for the first time on this occasion. The most worthy composition, from serious musical point of view, seemed the violoncello solo, “Rumanian Im- | pressions,” written by Mr. Gregor and | admirably presented by the artistic | Richard Lorleberg. There was no strik- | ing originality to this work, it was rather reminiscent of Hungarian or Rumanian music, with gypsy color. It was, however, worked out in musicianly fashion. Mr. Holer also had unusual values to his accompaniments written for some songs presented. Especially nice was his setting of the English version of Heine's “Du Bist wie Eine Blume,” al- though.any new settings always recall to mind the beautiful Schubert and Rubenstein settings. Mr. Holer’s choral number, “Triumph of the Dance,” to which he also wrote the words, is a par- | ticularly worthy number with attrac- | tive balance of vocal and piano parts. | {It was the most distinctive number | sung last night by the Chaminade Glee Club, Esther Linkins, director, to whom WATCH AND CLOCK REPAIRIN b SIN National 3770 on it.

The other two choral numbers, “Fairy Ball,” by Mrs. Emery, with fitting words by Mr. Emery, and “Coquetry,” by Mr. Gregor, were light songs. Mrs. Emery has been much more worthily represented by her suite of songs written with words by Grace Thompson Seton spd arranged for so- prano, violin, cello and piano. Mr. Shure, who has had many com- tions given publicly here from time time, ranging in type from religious cantatas to the lightest songs and piano numbers, was represented last night by an educational suite based on bird calls. None of the four themes is treated to very serious or contrapuntal writing. Each is embroidered in light style. The bobolink, red wing blackbird, purple finch linnet and whippoorwill were “in- terpreted,” by Grace Shannon at the piano. A feature in connection with this suite was Mr. Shure’s offer of an autographed copy of the suite to the in- dividual present who could guess cor- rectly the number of times the original bird call appeared in each of the four ccompositions. winner.

A. the Elizabeth Somers Glee Club, as- sisted by the Trio Intime, presented short program of music last night. Be- fore a sizable audience that seemed pleased with the selections offered them, the club sang songs familiar and un- familiar, the latter, perhaps for their freshness, outshining the former. It | was, however, as much of a treat as ever hearing H. T. Burleigh's arrangement of “Deep River” and William Dich- mond's “Ma Little Banjo” was done well enough to make one forget that it has been heard time and again before. The selections which the singers pre- sented were for the most part highly melodic, and in cases where brevity and tonal whimsicalities were substituted, done to a crisp. The voices were clear and evidently familiar with their parts, keeping unswervingly to the highways and byways of the pitch.
