INTIMATE MOROCCO PIGTURES SHOWN Old Customs Still Prevail, According to Geographic Society Lecture. ‘Though the French have brought | highways, hotels, written law and many other modern improvements to Morocco, ancient cue*oms dating back - a thou- sand years persist in Tangier, Fez, Meknes, Rabat and other cities, ac- cording to motion pictures last evening before members of the National Geo- graphic Society at the Washington Au- ditorium, shown by Capt. Carl von Hoffman. The “land of the saints and bandits” | is difficult to photograph because of the Mohammedan prejudice against the camera plus the unwillingness of women to lift their veils. Yet the traveler, by | visits over a series of years, managed to obtain motion pictures of the indus- tries, market places, tribal types of men 2nd women and even interiors of the elaborate harems, including the wom- en's apartments, which are even barred to native men. Capt. von Hoffman's picture excur- slons led him into holy streets where no Europeans are allowed, to a shrine where cuckoo clocks are ornaments against backgrounds of ancient mosaic and to the graveyards which serve also as burial places for the women. Some of the most remarkable pictures obtained were those of native taflors, sitting in rows along the streets, while boys hold their thread; the mat weav- ers, the clothesmakers, the basketry workers and the processes of making the leather goods for which Morocco is famous. Native dancers using the castinets were shown, and the speaker explained that these, like bull fights, were native to Morocco, and were introduced into Spain by the Moors. DR. DAUGHERTY SPEAKER At the Memorial United Brethern Church tomorrow the minister, Dr. 8. B. Daugherty, will preach at 11 lock on “The Comfort of the Cross” and in the evening at 8 o'clock on “Something TUnusual,” with the question period pre- ceding the message. The Sunday school and C. E. Societies will present special * features. The midweek service will be held Tuesday evening, after which an oratorical contest will be given. Thurs- day from 5 pm. to 7 p.m. the Nedla Class will serve a chicken patty supper. Friday evening Cecil De Mille’s Lenten sound picture, “The King of Kings," will be shown in the church, under the suspices of the Fultz Bible Class. S~ THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Music and Musicians Reviews and News of Capital's Programs. A Capella Choir Gives Lenten Concert. UMBERED among the worth- while musical organizations of this city is the A Ca- peila Choir. Under the di- rection of the talented Ruby Smith Stahl, it performs on Sun- days at the First Congregational Church, Once a year it brushes up on a concert program, and performs in its best man- ner and in its best choir robes before a large public. Last night the A Capella Choir was heard in the main ball room of the Mayflower Ho- tel. Numbering some €0 singers, the choir grouped itself in picturesque fashion at the head of the long room, which is famed as the erstwhile “stand” of such Townsend musi- calites as Rosa Ponselle, Gigli and the flery Conchita Supervia. A vast and imposing audience, much of which insisted on coming in late, listened intently to the Lenten music provided by this group and mar- veled at the harmonies, the smooth, silken singing, the grouping of tone effects . which the choir produced. 1t being an A Capella concert, the only person who didn't have much to do was Paul Delong Gable, whom the program announced with the soloists as being “at the piano.” Great credit is due the singers and their director for last night's achievements. While the program ‘was long, it was never dull. A promi- nent member of the National Sym- phony Orchestra sat entranced dur- ing its entire sequence. From Balti- more came Composer Franz Carl Bornschein to hear what his “There Was a Knight of Bethlehem” would sound like. It sounded very well. Other highlights of the program were the Burleigh “Were You ‘There,” the Gretchaninoff “Only Be- gotten Son,” in which the fusing of the various harmonies was little short of miraculous; the Bennett “God Is & Spirit” and the Nicolsky “O Praise Ye the Name of the Lord.” Ruby Smith Stahl In these selections the voices blended nicely with each other, the and swelling of tone was accomplished with finesse, and the resounding “hallelujahs” were splen- did examples of chorus fortissimos. As a pleasant surprise, too, came the “Easter Alleluia,” in which the di- rector suddenly wheeled around, sang the solo part herself and led her choir group only with her shoulder blades. Disappointing only in this worth- while program, sung lustily by a worthwhile group, was the fact that the many first sopranos were over- shadowed by their brothers, that there was apparent an occasional metalic quality in the higher re- glons, and that Mrs. Stahl insisted on chopping off each ending just exactly like every other ending. de S. MELCHER. Violinist Plays at Friday Morning Club. ON! of the finest musicians whom the Friday Morning Club has been privileged to hear this season, the violinist Antonio Ferrara, brother of the first violinist of the National Symphony, came over from Phila- delphia to play in yesterday's pro- gram at Barker Hall Mr. Ferrara's group, which closed the concert, in- cluded the Mendelssohn “Violin Con- certo in E Minor,” a “Slavonic Dance” of Dvorak-Kreisler and the “Prelude and Allegro” of Pugnani- Kreisler. In all his playing Mr. Fer- rara’s tone was rich and vibrant and absolutely true. His interpretations, especially in the Mendelssohn, were most satistying. Mary Izant Couch accompanied the violinist. Cathreen Carrico, accompanied by John R. Monroe, opened the pro- gram with Caldara’s “Sebben, Cru- dele.” Loewe's “Niemand hat's gese- hen” and Tschaikowsky’s “At the Window.” The lovely quality in Miss Carrico's voice made each of her songs enjoyable, but perhaps the fa- vorite was the first early Italian one. A sicilian lady likewise sang, Rosa Pollio Jarman, accompanied by Mil- dred Kolb Schulze. Paradies’ “Quel bianca bino, OTR G brilowitch’s “Parewell” and “Fulfill- ment,” written by Mrs. Schulze, these were interpreted interestingly and were slightly tinged with the color of Mrs. Jarman’s own Sicilian man- ners. “COUNTING THE COST” First Brethren Church’s Sermon Topic Chosen.
