An organ recital was played by M. McHenry WcChord at St. Thomas' Episcopal Church Monday night, the occasion being the dedication of & new organ, a memorial gift of Mrs. E. Gray Pendleton. ‘I'he dedication service was conducted by the Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, who also de. livered 8 brief address. . Mr. McChord’s numbers, all played by request, included the “Ave Maria” of Schubert, the “Song of the Volga Boatmen,” the “Choral” and “Priere a Notre Dame” from the “Suite Gothique,” by Boellman: “In Summer,” by Steb- bins; the third movement from the Fifth Sonata,” Guilmant; three movements from Nevin's suite, “Sketches of the City”; the “Pilgrim Chorus,” by Wagner, and two numbers not on the program, Nevin's “Rosary” and Handel's “Largo.” Mr. McChord seemed happiest in the pieces which called for the display of solo stops and soft effects.

Wecisions of the United States Supreme Court had held that such a provision @was illegal, in that, in effect, it trans. Jerred the rezoning power to the prop- ‘erty owners.

Flora McGill Keefer, church choir and concert mezzo-soprano, presented stu- dents in a recital in the music room of the Washington Club last night. Frances Bingham Cole, Helen Smeltzer, Helen Bury, Louise Lowndes of Baltimore and Alice Neal appeared in a well arranged program. The club was filled to overflowing. The program included songs which especially suited each of the young sing- ers. Adolf Torovsky,” pianist, was the accompariist for Miss Cole. Louise Mc- Nerney accompanied the other singers. Miss Bury opened the program with Mozart’s “Alleluia,” “ A Little Winding Road” of Ronald and La Forge's “Song of the Open,” which brought forth much applause. Miss Helen Smeltzer, in good French, sang Gretry’s “Rose a Messenger,” by La Forge, showing clear, high soprano tones with a free emission and good breath control. Louise Lowndes was heard in “Non so Piu,” from Mo- zart’s “Marriage of FPigaro”. Leoni's “Birth of Morn,” and Eden’s “What's in the Air Today.” Miss Cole’s numbers were the graceful aria from Mozart’s “Don Giovanni,” “Batti, Batti,” sung surprisingly well, with good tone and nice phrasing; the old Scotch song, “Leezie Lindsay,” and Clough-Leighter’s “My Lover He Comes on the Skee.” Alice Neal sang a group including Handel's “Come and Trip It,” Whelpley's “All in a Garden -Green” and “Will 0" the Wisp,” by Spross, showing a contralto voice of pleasing quality. Mr. Torovsky played the Rach- maninoff “Prelude in G Minor” and Schubert’s “Moment Musical” delight- fully, with good tone and technique. This completed the first half of the program, the second part being an ad- ditional group of songs by each singer. Miss Cale has a high voice with warmth of color. This was the first public appearance for all these young singers, and they all sang without their printed music. In the English songs they all enunciated distinctly and their French diction was excellent, as well as their Italian. e Harmon awards granted every year Cherie” (1771), Rogers’ “Star” and “To | | At our 7th St. and 3212 14th Gayer, Giddier than ever IMPORTED VO Featured Presentation for Decoration Day at all our stores MUSIC FACULTY PROGRAM.
