A—10 - VAR TS 1P | DEAL W SOVEY Plan to Barter Cattle for Coal and Oil Laid Before Government. By the Associated Press. OTTAWA, January exchanging $7,000,000 worth of Cana- dian cattle for Soviet oil and coal was laid yesterday before the Dominion gov- ernment by G. G. Serkau and J. H. MacDonald, representatives of a Winni- Deg syndicate reported to be supporting the project It was understood the Dominion was asked to extend credits of $4,000,000 to perfect the and to reimburse the syndicate against any posible loss through violation of contract. Cabinet ministers were interviewed by the syndicate officers, who later issued a pre:s statement saying decisions in | the matter rested with the cabinet. Canadian ocattle owners, said the press statement, would receive about 5 cents 2 pound for their beef and dairy cattle. The scheme involved 100,000 head, to be purchased direct from the farmers, who would receive the full price. The syn- dicate would operate on a brokerage fee from the Russian government The government now has before it & memorandum of agreement drawn up between the syndicate and the Soviet government, the terms of which were gettled in Moscow between Mr. Serkau and Soviet officials. NORTH CAPITOL ST. WIDENING ADVOCATED Extension Through Grounds of Soldiers’ Home Also Urged at Citizens' Meeting. The widening of North Capitol street from the Capitol to Soldiers’ Home, and its extension through the grounds of the Home, was advocated at a meeting last night of the Central Citizens' As-/ sociation, held at Blake School. The proposal,’ set forth by Dr. Willlam P. Kenealy, would no doubt link a vast territory north of the Home to the downtown section, its advocates said. Motion pictures of “Wild Game Hunt- ing in Africa,” were shown by Thomas F. McMahon and Joseph Michlowitz, Tollowing business of the meeting. Protests were entered against the early extinguishing of street lights on Winter mornings, and against alleged non-enforcement of the two-hour park- ing regulation along North Capitol street. The association indorsed the American” movement. The meeting was presided over by John G. McMahon, vice president of “Buy 5—A plan for| | | | | | | | | | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1933. Music and Mousicians Reviews and News of Capital's Programs. Two Splendid Artists At Townsend Musicale. \WO exponents of fine singing were heard yesterday morn- ing at Mrs. Townsend's musicale in the persons of Ninon Vallin and Richard Crooks. It was a program as nearly perfect as is possible both as to sing- ing and the songs chosen, which were varied and agreeable, and em- inently suited to show the pro- ficiency of the singers. ‘The unbroken evenness of Ninon Vallin's voice is a rar in the world It poignancy tone, partici ly before going into the upper register. It is fluid and crystal clear and Ninon Vallin is able to transform the vocal quality at will to whatever effect desired. Only in moments of emotion is she inclined to go beyond the point of beauty in tonal produc- tion, which is unnecessary, since her voice, in itself, carries emotion. In the “Air des Fetes d'Hebe” of Rameau, the round, limpid notes showed the true nature of her voice to better advantage than the pr ceding numbers, “Ch’'io Mai Possa” (Haendel), ang the “Porgi Amor” and “Non So Plu Cosa Son, from Mozart’s “Le Nozze di Figaro.” This same lovely quality gave the group of French songs new color, and Mme. Vallin was recalled sev- eral times until she sang Faure's “Apres Un Reve:” Her control and phrasing were superb in this song, which she sang with unaffected ease. The aria “Depuis le Jour,” from Massenet’s “Louise,” was_the high point of her program and brought to light brilliancy of execution and sensitiveness of mood. Within the exactness of tempo, she put a variety of modulation that needed no stretching of rhythm to carry its effect. She sang with charm and grace the “Serenade” of Gounod as encore. The pleasure which the singing of Richard Crooks gave was ev denced in the enthusiastic applause which he received. The recognition was given his unusally beautiful voice, his splendid use of it and his true interpretive feeling. Gaining this sincere appreciation with cev- eral numbers in which his artisty was indisputable, it was the more astonishing that he should lower the tone of a fine program with the inclusion of a song like Moya’s “Song of Songs.” The audience has too many opportunities to hear this song over the radio to be asked to hear it done by a Metropolitan tenor whose recent New York recital brought forth eulogies of his singing Richard Crooks, necessary, 1t brought its reward in applause to which he responded with a song of the same “ilk,” Le- har'’s “Only My Song.” Mr. Crooks sang the difficult, re- strained “Reve,” from Massenet's “Manon,” with hushed beauty and heartrending tone which few tenors can equal. With the same simpli- city and lack of effort he gave the “Have You Seen But a Whyte Lillie Grow,” which, Mr. Crooks explained, has been attributed, both words and music, to Ben Johnson, and the “Re- treat” of La Forge. in which the fine- ly drawn tone brought visions of Mr. Crooks as an ideal “Lohengrin.” In the two duets with Mme. Vallin, the Letter duet from “Manon” and the duet from the first.act of Car- men, his voice blended in mellow fashion with Mme. Vallin's and the interpretive feeling of both artists was as one. Kurt Ruhrseitz, accom- panying Mme. Vallin, and Philip Evans, at the piano for Mr. Crooks, were sympathetic assistants for the artists. A E. Schipa and Borgioli Sing at Benefit Concert. CONCERT for the benefit of needy Italian children of Wash- ington was given last night at the Mayflower Hotel. Two artists from the Metopolitan, Tito Schipa, tenor, and Armandc Borgioli, baritone, were the special attractions, sharing the program with Clelia Fioravanti, mezzo-soprano: Mme, Amelia Conti, harp, and the string quartet com- posed of Luis Ferrara, first violin: Bernard Rosenthal, second violin; Hendrick Essers, viola, and Marcel Ancher, cello. The ‘charitable objective of the concert was to provide food and to; for the children on the feast of La Befana on January 6, and it was given under the patronage of the royal Italian embassy. The distinguished audience was large and enthusiastic and applauded the long program generously With the ever-effective “Prologue,” from “Pagliacci,” Mr. Borgioli estab- lished the mood of the evening, as he did again in the lighter “Visione Veneziana” of Brogi. He later sang the “Erl tu,” from “The Masked Ball,” with a fervor and dramatic intensity that called forth prolonged applause. With equal appreciation of the tragic content, he gave the “Nemico della Patria,” from “Andre Chenier” as encore, subduing the | rendered a verdict of murder | suicid power of his voice to warm, moving quality. In Tito Schipa, the public has an opportunity to hear an operatic tenor who has developed the finesse of his art to & fine degree so that he is as much at home in the more delicate interpretive demands of a concert program as the tempera- mental outbursts of opera. His play of tone, of varying colors, was splen- didly demonstrated in the “Prin- cesita” of Padilla and the several Neapolitan songs he added to the program. He would have done more Justice to the aria “Una furtiva la- grima,” from “L’Elisir d'amore,” had he sung it later in the program when he was in true singing form, his sincere feeling for this aria being somewhat hampered by lack of free- dom. He included an English song, “In the Luxembourgh Gardens,” by Lockart-Manning, in thc program and as encore sang a delightful com- position of his accompanist, Fred- erico Longas. Clelia Fioravanti gave four very worth-while numbers, “Nel cor piu non mi sento,” Paisello: “Girometta,” Sibella, and two songs of Respighi. “Stornellatrice” and “Nebbie.” Miss Fioravanti sang with compijgte un- derstanding of the various senti- ments of the compositions to which her clear, well bhandled voice re- sponded easily. The String Quartet by Tartini was played by the four instrumentalists and the harp, violin and cello were combined in the “Intermezzo,” from “Cavalleria Rusticana,” and “Claire de Lune,” by Massenet, which was played by request. The trio numbers were especially effective, Mme. Conti’s full, rich harp tone giving a warm background to the other in- struments. Marie Hansen gave excellent sup- port to Miss Fioravanti in her ac- companiment and Frederick Longas played with soft and pliant tone for Mr. Schipa and Mr. Borgioli. A E.

Plans for an intensive investigation of the “high cost of milk” ia the Dis- trict were made last night by the Friendship Heights’ Citizens' Associa- tion, meeting in the Janney School, Albemarle street near Wisconsin av nue. A study of milk costs in the repr sentative cities of the East showed ‘Washington has the highest price of any, it was stated. The price of milk here was said to range from 1 cent to 3 cents higher than elsewhere, wi Greensboro, N. C., the only Eastern sea- board town where it is more expensive. A committee to carry forward the in- vestigation was named, including Leo E. Hunter, Clarence Irwin and Frank J. Ehrhardt.” The research efforts of the group will be directed chiefly at wh: they termed a “milk combine,” alleged to control a large portion of this food coming into the city.
