A—12 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1931. 1S EXENPTON 0F INSURANGE TAX Senator Hebert Would Allow for Policies Against Unemployment. By the Associated Fress. Ovation Given Tibbett At Afternoon Recital, INCE his semi-incorporation as a Hollyanuxd screen star (the “seml” reterring to the fact that half of him still belongs to the Metropolitan Opera Co.) Lawrence Tibbett has learned the art of giving his public what it wants. Yesterday afternoon he dem- onstrated this so effectively at Con- stitution Hall Music and Musicians Reviews and News of Capital's Programs. | “Herodiade”—which was particular- Iy stirring—and for one of his mul- titudious encores the progogue to “Pagliacci.” Although he brought to all of these his highly sentitive voice powers and that strong, full-blooded tone, the combination of which make him one of the foremost singers of today, Tib- bett nevertheless slipped Into a light vein whenever the opportunity was given him, and delighted his many cision of runs and arpeggios, as well as determination in the full-chord passages. The middle section of the Chopin plece was played with a beautiful, rounded tone and a feel- g _for phrase lines. Irving Lean, accompanied by Net- tie Sadle, gave two groups of violin solos, the first “Souvenir,” by Drdla, and later Chaminade’s “Spanish Serenade” and Burleigh's “Fairy Sailing.” There were moments of Wistfulness and sweet-muted tone in the Drdla number as well as the Chaminade. The latter was weak- ened by a section of insecure har- monics. Otto J. Ramler played two plano solos, Singing's “Fruhlingsrauschen” and “Over the Steppes,” by Schytte. D. C. Balieff “Chauve-Souris” At the Shubert-Belasco Theater. ALIEFF'S unquenchable Chauve-Souris,” which has wandered four sides of the globe within the past decade and has come back to start all over agam, was presented last night at the Shubert-Belasco, with some new material and the same From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. tinka” has lost much of her charm, and the present scheme of things concerns itself mostly with antiquated pastimes, such as making fun of opera, bringing “still" figures back to life, and the usual assort- ment of Russian dancing and sing- ing, some of which, as “A Night in Yard,” with one particularly appeal- ing high, clear soprano voice, are pleasant. but none of which is par- Moore and his side kick, Harry Fields, are starred in a new variety of fun. One skit, “Pigure It Out,” caused laughter to roll and reroll up from a large audience, and Bee Cunningham found herself unable to answer with the encores demanded | of her. Her blond beauty contrasts very well with the brunette style of | Billie Holmes. The guest star, Mary Walton, is the finishing touch to a variety of feminine types presented. Zella Ste- vens, George Reynolds, Frank Mc- | Kay and Betty Gardnet completed | the roster. George is a past master | 1n the art of hoofing.
