ROMINENT among Washing- ton musicians are Katherine were followed by three songs by Rus- sian composers sung in English, the first one, Dargominzsky's “The Paladih,” a descriptive song, not al- together pleasant, but well done by the singer, who lost none of the dra- matic effects. The other Russian songs were Gretchaninoff’s “My Na- tive Land,” sung according to tra- dition, ~and Tchervanow's “The Sleigh,” which gave a splendid op- portunity to show velocity in emiting syllables. Mr. Poindexter's last song before the spirituals was Wolfe's “Going to Heaven,” which he sang after the manner of a spiritual, accompaniment savors of jazz the four spirituals which he chose for the program' “Trampin’'” was the most interesting, and for encore he sang the famous “Water Boy making an effective close to an teresting program.

Riggs, Rosa Pollio Jarman and Mildred Kolb Schulze. Last night these three famed local artists delighted a moderate- sized audience at the University Club with a program which was neither 50 short nor so long as to be any- thing but just about perfect. Miss Riggs plucked partic- ularly _celestial music from the strings _of her harp, Miss Jar- man_ sang & “Lullaby”’ by Max Reger with a restraint that was idyllic in its conception, and Mrs. Schulze as- sisted * at the piano in three of her most popular works giving them that roundness of quality. which, as some one ha said, makes them quite “irresistib The program, in other words, was a success. Interspersed with ger verbal reminders as to what she w playing and an introducticn that was almost as good as her playing, Miss Riggs cast most of her program to the winds, undertaking whatever happened to be in her mind's eye Instead. for instance, of the Proko- fieff “Prelude.” there was an old Irish tune, and instead of a Loukine “Impromptu in C flat minor” there was another Irish tune, and before that (after the chairman of the En- tertainment Committee had learned which is the front and which the back of a harp) there had been a Welsh folk-song, the Beaujoyeuse “Amaryllis” and the Handel “Pre- lude in B flat,” which was possibly more subtly executed than any of the others. Miss Riggs played, however, her entire program (which was much too short—in fact, never could be too long)—with that grace and sweep which always is pleasantly as- tonishing to those who have always wantea and have never been able to master such an instrument A skilled artist, in every sense of the word, she gave a melodious, quiet, yet brilliant accounting of herself. Mrs. Jaman's best work, other than the Reger encore, was in Mrs. Schulze's songs, “Nobody Knows de ‘Trubble” and “I Yield.” In these she brought to the fore that excel- lent quality of her lower notes which are produced with clarity and a par- ticularly happy resilience. de S.

Mr. Poindexter has a voice of rich quality and wide range and has learned the art of breath control and tone placement.
