WASHINGTON, Music and Musicians Reviews and News of Capital's Programs. Pan-American Concert A PBrilliant Event. CONCERT of Latin American music was given last ev ning in the Pan-American Union as the close to the celebrations of Pan-Ameri- can dvy. Dr. Leo S. Rowe, director general of the union, who greeted the guests at the door before the program, made a gracious soeech at the ciose, present- ing Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, who came to Wash- ington - for the celebrations yes- terday and was in the distinguished audience last eve- ning. Dr. Rowe referred to the generosity of her late husband in making _possible t h e beautiful home of the Pan- American Union Josefina Meca. by giving the money for the erection of the building on ground given by the Government of the United States. Twelve of the 20 South American republics which, with the United States, form the Pan-American Union, were repre- sented on the program given in the Hall of the Americes instead of on phe esplanade because of the cool weather. The Marine Band, under the direction of Capt. Taylor Bran- son, was assisted by Josefina Meca, coloratura soprano from Cuba: Hec- tof de &ara, baritone, from Mexico, and members of the band. Winfred Kemp, cornetist; Wilbur D. Keefer who played & solo on the vibraphone, and Clayton Lindsay, who played a flute obligato for Senorita Meca. The program was varied and pre- sented four compositions for first rendition. They all showed originality, particularly the sym- phonic - poem, “Cusubtemoc,” com- posed by Albert ‘M. Alvarado of Mex- ico, and well played by the band. This composition had ithythm and themes similar to the music of the American Indians and no doubt folk lore of the Mexican Indians. These rhythms and plaintive themes also appeared in the secon® movement of the suite, “Queen of the Nighi Central and written by Justin Elie of Haiti and_ played by the band. The other num- were typical of the Spanish music, some more colorful than others. but all filled with the at- mosphere and dash of the Latin American. A Senorita Meca has (a light, high soprano voice with clear. silvery tone, her ability in brilliant coloratura passages not marring thd _ legato. She showed to particular advantage in the famous arfa from David's “Pear] of Brezil” in which Mr. Lind~ say played the flute obligato, her tones blending with the instrument. ‘The group of three short songs which sh- sang were all from the works of Cuban compnsers and she was ac- comranied at the piano by George H. Wilson. Senor de Lara's voice of much richness, showed to advant. in the martial song, “Aurelia.,” By Arreglo “de; 8. Posados of Mexico, which he sang with true martial pre- cision apd dash and which was heard in public for the first time. He wore the picturesque costume of Mexico and carried a large dull gray sombrero. His first appearance on the program was in a group of three songs, two Mexican and the Argen- tine folk song. “Vidalita,” arranged by Alberto Williams. He was ably accompanied in the songs by George H. Wilson. The band played with its cus- tomary precision, good tone and shading, and the soloists from that organization who appeared last eve- Sacrifice Sale of Radios at the JORDAN PIANO CO.

ECAUSE of its high artistic calibgr and delightful atmosphere Emerscn’ Meyers' recital last night at the Arts Club was one of the best and most interesting of the Music Committce’s offerings this year. There was great enthusiasm from the audience, largely made up of outstanding musicians in the city. The beautiful program would have done credit to an experienced srtist, and Mr Meyers has just entered his twenties. There was nothing amateur- ish in bis playing. He is, first of all, very musical; he is a thinking plaver: he has already a splendid technical equipment. Runs, oc- taves, double notes, pedaling, color- ing, tone—all are good. In his opening number, the diffi- cu't Bach-Listz “Organ Prelude and Fugue in D Minor,” ke showed him- self a good polyphonic player, bring- ing out voices distinctly, working up architectural climaxes of tone. In his second number, Beethoven's “Sonata Appassionata,” the slow movement (always the test) was ex- quisitely done. The second half of the program consisted of the 12 Chopin_etudes, comprising “Opus 25.” Perhaps here Mr. Meyers' talent was best brought out. No composer demands as much planistically nor from the interpretative side as Chopin. One expects .Chopin well done only by much more experienced pianists, yet Mr. Meyers' etudes were astonish- ingly satisfying and finished Trroughout the whole program, one feit that beauty of tone was al- ways outstanding, whatever the dynamics. _Furthermore, that al- ready Mr. Meyers understands that technique must always be merely the means to the inner meaning-and beauty of any compositior His_encore to many r Daquitis Le Cocou.” I tadent, the progress of which will be watched with great interest. New Glee Club Is Being Organized. "I HE Apolio Club, a new musical organization limited to 100 se- lected male voices, is being formed here. The club is being organized for the practice and_performance of part- songs, semi-classical and most pop- ular vocal numbers and choruses published for cultivation of public taste for this type of music. It is planied to have the club in readiness for the Bicentennial celebration. Organizers and directors = are: Lieut. Charles Riemer, conductor; Signor Romeo Guaraldi and Dr. Seba L. Christie, vocal instructors; Edwin Stefle, Henry Nestor, Adolph Turner, Charles B. Moses, S. W. Swygart, Earl Heatwole, Joseph King, William Bell, Aaron Kapian, Joscph Berne and Carleton Campbell. Headquar- ters for the club will be located in the Denrike Building. School Orchestra Presents Program at Y. W. C. A. THE Americanization School As- sociation Orchestra gave its sec- ond musicale of this year last night at Barker Hall under the direction of Viadimir Vesa. The orchestra showed enthusiasm and efficiency on the part of its members. Special mention should be made of the ren- dering of the “Unfinished Sym- phony.” This was the orchestra’s most creditable point of the evening. A flute duet was played by Morris Glass and George Wey. The A. 8. A. singing class gave a pleasing group of folk songs. The trio of Mesdames Smith, Maurus and Weingart was very well received. The most surprising talent exhib- ited throughout the evening was that of Leah Gumenick, who pos- sesses technique rarely found in a | [ | while bouquet after bouquet sent by old | emotions. D.

LONDON, April 15.—Through tears she could hardly check, Edna May, star actress of another day, M:onday night | watched presentation in London for the first time of the revived play “The Belle | of New York,” in which she played the | title role more than 30 years ago. The produciion itself was successful, | but the event of the evening was the appearance of the woman, no longer | young, who sat in her box weeping at past memories and in the emotion called forth by the audience’s enthusiastic re- ception. The full house contained, besides the younger generation of playgoers attract- ed by the presence of the famous Actress of the past, numerous gray-haired peo- ! ple eager to demonstrate that their af- fection for the belle of their youth was | not dead. o When she appeared in her box the | entire audience rose and applauded, friends soon turned the box into a; bower. At the. close of the performance the actress went to the stage and made | a brief speech, but the sentences came | with difficulty as she struggled with her She commented finglly that it was a | very happy evening for her. ~ Church Solictor Declared Fraud.

Most of his solicitations are | by telephone, police stated, and the man is wanted on a fraud charge, | church authorities having reported giv- | ing no authority to the man to solicit funds, girl of 13 years. Miss Gumenick's piuno solos were marked by brilliancy and “assurance. The rendition of “Eili, Eill” by Lazar Fenik illicited deserved applause. Mitzie Clipker won her audience by her artistic playing of violin compositions by the teacher-composer Kuzdo. | Taya Papadia-Dounis made the | program unique with her rendition | of “The Artist” in Greek. Jindra- Mala-Nolan, in her: carefully chosen songs. showed the highly artistic training of her voice. The closing number. Beriot's “Concerto for Two Violins,” was admirably performed by Mitzie Clipker and Oscar Levine.
