Splendid Concert hy Interstate Male Chorus. I AST NIGHT one got & glimpse ~ of what an amateur chorus really can do. The concert by the Interstate Male Chorus at Memorial Continental Hall yesterday was lit- erally one of the events of the sea- son. The huge audience filled the seats and boxes, some aisles and every permissible square inch of standing rooin The unusual vitality of the chorus was due largely to excellent training by its conductor, Clyde Aitchison. The chorus caught the measured flow of Handel's “Where'er You ‘Walk” and the reverence of Horatio Parker's “Lamp in the West.” Ella Higginson's beautiful text, remints- cent of Tennyson's “Crossing the Bar,” was a fitting memorial for John J. McAuliffe, member of the Interstate Commerce Commission since 1882, whose funeral occurred yesterday. Cecil Forsyth's “At the Play” was admirably done in a terse, sparkling vein and was the merriest moment of the evening. Robert Feuerstein proved to be a genuinely sympathetic accompanist. The club presented as soloist Helen Donofrio, a young and charm- ing coloratura soprano. Miss Dono- frio’s voice is clear as a bell and she manipulated it with much deftness in Arditi’s “Il Baccio” and Edward Potter's “To the Beloved.” While she has not yet the simplicity and Zimbalist Plays With National Symphony. R. KINDLER'S heart and soul went inta yesterday's concert of the National Symphony the way it never has before. New Vigor sprang into him, and hence into the orchestra, with the result that the familiar and romantic ang stirring Tchalkovsky “Romeo and Juliet® music seemed derived from some divine source. W i t hout ques- tion, from any #| and every point of view, this was the high point in the orches- tral music which Kindler has given his patrons thls season. And the fact that these . patrons were Efrem Zimbalist, Woefully few, that great blank stretches of emptiness stared at him from high and low and roundabout was something so near a crime that it is essential to mention it. With the orchestra outdoing itself, not merely in ensemble vork, but in spirit and in mind and in texture— such as the violin section demon- strated in its soaring lyric passages— there was, too, an added treat which came near to being the most signifi- cant musical feature of the year.

She could go far in any company. Janet Jackson was pleasing as Lady Win- dermere. Frank E.

Phone NAtion; ease, or with skill—but with a bril- liance that it would be impossible to eclipse .n any detail Mr. Zimbalist’s playing was inde- scribably beautiful. With an unpar- ralled effortlessness, with a smooth, soft, velvet tone, with a wrist motion that seemed to indicate he had no wrist at all, and without so much as one note either harsh, or marred by an overtone, he swung through this entire work—played without pause—with a power that was almost godlike. Known, of course, as one of the most amazing of modern violin- ists, Zimbalist has yet never ex- pressed himself more eloquently than he did in this work. Contrary, how- ever, to the dictum of the program, this is not the first time this “Col certo” has been presented to a Wash- ington public. Back in 1928, as the second feature of Dr. Dudley's All- Star Vesper Concert Series at the Washington Auditorium, it was given a highly interesting rendition by Emanuel Zetlin ‘The orchestra began the concert with the Bach “Suite in B Minor,” & highly complicated work for a young orchestra to undertake, particularly in its flute, cello and bass sequence, but which on the whole, though & trifle brittle at the outset, was per= formed with stateliness and with Mr. { Kindler's customary intelligence, After this came the amazing rendi- tion of “Romeo and Juliet,” which still lingers on the mind as a creation of gentus not only on the part of the composer, but the conductor and the orchestra as well. And the program was concluded after Zimbalist's ex- hibition of how to play the violin perfectly, by the Balletmusick from Schubert’s “Rosamunde” and the “Marche Militaire.” The latter, for some reason, ap- peared slightly out of joint—not in the manner of its perforxance, Lut merely as itself. While it is evi- dently Mr. Kindler’s policy to send his audience home with some sort of uplift and excitement caused by ex- | citing music—in this case the spell whicl,the Tachaikovsky music and freedom of a great artist, her inter- pretations showed imagination and & sincere attempt to penetrate the real meaning of the music. That she has promise in the fleld of dramatic music was clear when she sang Vic- tor Herbert's “Italian Street Song” with the chorus and an aria from “Mignon” as solo. Edith Virden- Smith accompanied Miss Donofrio. The chorus adapted itself to stout English drinking songs; a narrative of Hiawatha, at which time Charles Wood sang & poignant bass solo, and to the “Coronation Scene” from Moussorgsky's . “Borls Godounov, their most ambitious number.

T is to be doubted if there is & young pianist in and around town who gives such complete satis- faction as Emerson Meyers. He has been heard of late in short recitals and long recitals, but never in in- different recitals His playing of Chopin should be put on one of the “must” calendars of those who want to be stimulated during the new year. His version, for instance, of the “Ftude in E Major” (which Grace Moore does so delightfully as a song) is something which has color, depth and & technical light- ness that is admirable. All of this Mr. Meyers displayed before a small but delighted audience last night at the University Club. Paul Brightenburg, another young artist of consequence in this city, a member of the National Sym- phony and one of Joseph Kaspar's star pupils, played the Beethoven “Concerto in D Major” excellently, the “Sonata in F Major” adequately and the Bach “Bouree” very badly. this, however, possibly because it is a highly daring thing to do to begin an evening's recital without & piano as accompaniment.
