Ponselle and Harrison Delight, Townsend Audience. REAT was the rejoicing yes- terday morning at the May- flower at the appearance of Rosa Ponselle, onc of the most gifted of the Metro- politan’s song birds. If, in fact, there is a more popular singer who comes to Washington she has yet to bé produced. And so yesterday's finale to this season’s Town- send morning musicale was aflame with talent— Beatrice Harrison being the second art- ist for the oc- casion — and the people pres- ent being o excited that they dropped purses from the balcony boxes onto the Zowery heads below and clapped and whispered and got up very suddenly at the end without giving Miss Ponselle a chance to sing the many encores which she deserved. It was, however, a fitting close to one of Mrs. Townsend's most suc- cessful seasons. And although one deprecates the fact that some of those present were so worried by their palates that they had to fly almost before the last note of the “Elegy” had spun out its course, there was still so much beautiful music on display that the small grudge of hasty exits was soon for- gotten. Rosa Ponselle, the cne and only, whose career is looked to by many younger artists as the one which they would like most to follow. and ‘hose singing is 2o very near perrect Rosa Ponselle. that any comparisons would be treason, sang yesterday with that same magic which has never yet diseppointed an audience. She sang not only cnml‘nnonnl arias and Carmen’s famous “pursuit” song with enviable pliability and a limpidness of the upper range that must havc curdled with jealousy many a “star” performer, but she injected shorter songs and a sense of humor into them that literally brought down the house—or as much of the house as could be brought down. She was a real art- ist in that she had her audience Jaughing, crying and applauding all at once—one lady in particular be- ing so overcome by the poignancy of the Wider “Contemplation” that she was seen to bow her head and give vent to the most prodigious flow of tears that has been seen in the Meyfiower this year. Among the most favored of the sele-tions which Miss Ponselle sang were the aria from Rossini's “Semi- ramide,” the “Tintenheintz und Platscherlottchen” and most every one of her encores, But why, cne must ask, did she have to finish with Massenet’s oversweet “Elegy”? —even and in spite of the cello obbligato that Miss Harrison volun- teered. Miss Harrison, incidentally, played some pleasing selections of her own, although she was rot infallible as to pitch in her opening numbers. She seemed to delight, however, her audi- ence, and this plus the valuable as- sistance of Mr. Romano Romani and Mr. Edward West—the former is said to have writien an opera called “Fedra” expressly for Miss Ponselle, which will be sponsored in the middle of the London social season—all these artists made the occasion probably the brightest one of Mrs. Townsend's year. E. de B. M NEWSPAPER’S BASIC STORE AD MEDIUM Officials of Lsrge Commercial Firms Urge End of Frills and Fads in Publicity. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 5.—It's the gadgets that will take retail stores out ;of the red, the National Retail Dry Goods Association was told yesterday. “There is an opportunity to build a new industrial giant by publicizing things that are new forgotten or over- looked in our anxiety to bring the larger and more obvious goods to the attention of the public,” said Kenneth Collins, executive vice president of .R H. Macy Co. “There are thousands of small gadets on our shelves which are never brought into the spotlight of con- structive advertising,” he said. He urged the merchants to eliminate unproductive advertising and remember that space in daily newspapers still is the retailer's dominant medium. “Probably the greatest sucker list in existence” " was the way Arthur O.| Price’ sales manager of the Namm Store in Brooklyn, described depart- ment stores. There is far too much dis- sipation of department store publicity dollars in fgills and fads, he said. “Newspaper advertisng is the back- | bone of our publicity structure,” he asserted. C. L. McAleer of Jordan Marsh Co., Boston, ascaulted the tariff as the | principal ill of the country. HOME ECONDMICS AGENT URGED AT WINCHESTER 8pecial Dispatch to The Star. WINCHESTER, Va., February 5.—An | appropriation sufficient to employ & full- | time home demonstration agent for Fred- | erick County was urged today upon the board of supervisors by a large delega- tion of county housewives, who asserted that since Miss Elizabeth Farrar, Fed- eral-State agent, had been holding classes in the county it had been cem- onstrated that thousands of dollars could be saved by farmers and their $|families in preparation of foods and household articles. They reported an increasing interest among housewives and school students in home economics. The board, how- ever, reserved definite decision pending final report from its Budget Committee relative to payment of tax levies. and you will never regret havin made for your home.
