SHOWS DROWNING ” PREVENTION NEED Coroner J. R. Nevitt Calls cm| Men to Learn to Swim. Lauds Sponsors. Coroner J. Ramsay Nevitt, whose of- | fice is called upon to investigate the causes of deaths by drowning in the District of Columbia, today declared thit many water tragedies would be averted by wider knowledge of swim- ming. ) Dr. Nevitt expressed gratification over decision of The Star and the Young Men's Christian Association to launch | & “learn-to-swim” campaign, beginning | Monday. ¢ Companions Imperiled. “Years of familiarity with the causes | of drowning in Washington have con- vinced me tnat more people should know how to handle themselves safely in the water,” Dr. Nevitt said. “There have come to my attention many cases in which inability to swim has resulted in the death not only of the person deficient in that respect, but of com- panions of the non-swimmer. “'A non-swimmer easily succumbs to nic in an emergency. 1f a boat rocks e is apt to let his fear of the water excite him into making a foolish move, Imperiling not only himself, but/prob- ably others; also, once overboard, he is helpless himself and of no help to his companions. Urges Enrollment. “I would urge every man who ean- not swim to enroll “in the free course at the Y. M. C. A. next week.” Men over 18 years old are eligible to receive the instruction. Classes will be | || held nightly in the pool of the Central Y. M. C. A.. 1738 G street. To enroll, clip the accompaning coupon and pre- sent it at the desk at the Y. M. C. A/ MRS.

MUSIC PUPILS IN PIANO RECITAL. ULIA FISCHER and Phila Belle Burk were presented by La Salle Spier in individual recitals last night at the American Association of the University Women club house. Mrs. Fischer's . program included works by Beethoven, Chopin, Wagner- Liszt, Liszt, Strauss-Schutt, Spler and | MacDowell.” She played with musician- | ship, warmth and pcetic imagination. She has developed her own individual- ity and way of playing, the way of the | romanticist without sentimentality. Her finger work was agile and her touch light and sure; her tone color was varied. She was perhaps best in the Chopin “Nocturne, F Major.” with its alternating lyrical and dramatic epi- sodes. Mr. Spier's two ccmpositions for piano four hands, “Serenade” and “Im: ssions of the Bowery, New York, ent an interesting modern touch to the program. They were much enjoyed by the audience. The Scherzo from the MacDowell “D Mincr Concerto” pro- vided a buoyant and dashing finale to this program. In the second recital Miss Burk played with vigor, as well as a measure of temperament and emotion, with aptitude for brilliancy. Her per- formance on_the whole engendered ex- citement. The Bach “Prelude and Pugue in C Minor” was performed mu- sically and with technical finish. ‘The Beethoven “Sonata in E Major” was played robustly, but lacked sufficient restraint. In the Chopin “B Flat Minor Nocturne” she showed her artistic abil- fity, but at the expense of continuity of tempo. The Schumann “Fantasiestuck in Pfllt Major” and “Novellette in ¥ Major” were well rendered. The Mo- Hré “Concerto in C Minor,” first move- ment, showed Miss Burk at her best. Tone color, technical finish and en- semble were most gnmyln'. This evening at 8 o'clock, in the same suditorium, Mr. Spier will present Eleanor Callan Craun and Jessie Blais- dell in individual recitals. The public & invited to attend. R.R.

That one is a police officer, whose keen eyes antic- ipated some of the experiences of several other characters. Conrad Nagel presents a devoted lover and husband with his cus- tomary skill and human quality, but the man. as a bank employe, not is guilty of stealing a substan- amount from the institution for the purposes of speculation, but per- crime. The woman, having come from Sweden to marry the bank clerk, becomes the companion of the man who later goes to prison, al- though that man is already married. The rival in love is represented as a man of doubtful morals. Out of this tangle comes the final reunion of the woman and her original lover. An escape from prison gives life and vitality to the dramatic side of the picture, but fails to contribute to the wholesomeness that might be ex- pected, with Mr. Nagel in associa- tion with Betty Compson, who is cast in an emotional part, and Rob- ert Ames as & more or —lees irre- sponsible figure in social life. Miss Compson reveals mastery of the broken English that is required for her role. Customary commendable work by Robert Emmet Keane is a feature of the production. ‘The short subjects of the program include the striking cartoon comedy ““Toby's Halloween.” and the news- reel has an unusual picturization of = the Navy winning a boat race.
