The wn_educator made it plain last night in the opening lecture | of a series on “The Evolution of Com- munism” that the social experimenters in modern day Russia are merely up to date some of the better known theories discarded centuries ago An audience that packed Gaston Hall attended the opening lecture, approxi- mately 2,000 persons having enrolled in the present series, which are being presented as a public academic course of the School of Foreign Service, of which Dr. Walsh is the regent. The seriés was started in 1920 and has been followed from year to year by many serious students of Russlan affairs. Traces Soviet Theory. This year Dr. Walsh is tracing the development of Soviet theory from its earliest manifestations in recorded history and in succeeding lectures he will show how these doctrines are be- applied in the direct action of bol m. Dr. Walsh declared last night that there was a warning, perhaps, to the Sovist commissars, who are seeking to impose these discarded social experi- ments on & helpless people at the point of the bayonet, in the fate of one of the earliest doctrinaires, Pythagoras, who lost his life when his exasperaf thbors burned down the Communis- mmmu he had founded.

One of the latest Russian innova- tions, the factory nurseries for laboring women, at which the authorities have introduced the breast pump to lessen the working hours lost in feeding, was cited by Dr. Walsh as an_example of one of the earliest known Communistic theories. “The ides, minus only the suction pump, 1 as old as Plato, who provided mm"numn 3 b’r‘?.leidlmm ideal ‘republic,’” he said.

It would be hard to select two actors so well fitted for this frag- ment of romance as Miss Carroll and Mr. Boles. The former has no difficuity in giving reality to the professional dance hall attendant, who ignores the hardy qualities of her associates, goes through her daily grind of a paid partner, trea the world as a place of unimpre: ve business affairs and shows a al interest in people. She has the lity to employ the vocabulary and bearing of her station, while holding ing to the quiet ideals of a highly disciplined home. Miss Carroll also gives to the play a capacity to rise to the emotional requirements when she has been chosen for partnership with a man of culture. Mr. Boles, as that man, has a reputation for fine acting whigh is employed with exceptional finesse in s produc- tion, and his work is admirable. ‘The story takes the chief chara ters from the metropolis to Mexico, to which the bride has fled, and where her divorced husband finds her about to marry an old admirer, but takes his place at the altar.

Music and Musicians Reviews and News Charles Tittman with Friday Morning Music Club. HARLES TROWBRIDGE TITTMAN gave the audi- ence at the Friday Morn- ing Music Club a rare treat yesterday when he sang the 16 Dichterliebe by Helnrich Heine set to music by Robert Schumann. It is seldom that the Dichterliebe are sung in their entirety anywhere nowadays, and, acording to Mr. Titt- man’s information, Washington has not heard them sung publicly in 37 years. It is good to have a hearing of them now and then and Mr. Titt- man deserves thanks for making them the sole subject of his program, thus permitting one to enjoy them without disturbing comparison. As Mr. Tittman explained before _singing them, he was realizing a life- long ambition and that he was in- debted to Lucy Brickenstein for help in arranging them in the keys suit- able for voice. Mr. Tittman san them simply and sincerely and i there was any need of convincing the listener of their beauty, he suc- ceeded completely by his beautiful rendition. The varied moods, the romance and the suffering for which Schumann has found such fittl melodies, Mr, Tittman made to stant out without effort. His voice was warm and resonant and he showed the control of a true artist. Not only the personal success of his interpre- tation but the appreciation of the audience for the opportunity he had given it to hear again the general favorites and the less well known numbers of this group, was ex- pressed in prolonged applause. Dorothy Guion, pianist, prepared the way for the Dichterliebe by play- ing three = Schumann numbers, “Nactstuck,” “Warum,” and “Gril- len” She played them with poetic feeling and fine sense of nuance us- ing a mellow, singing tone for the descriptive effect. Her opening num- ber, Brahms' Rhapsody in B minor, was given with this same sense of values. Unfortunately her physical powers are not of grest atrength and in consequence the climaxes were wanting in force and freedom. The audience applauded 'fi:mmy for her interpretations h were 80 much in keeping with the rest of _the m.

A E Plano Recital at Mount Verncn Semimary. RANCES NASH, who has won a place for herself in the artistic world, yesterday afternoon returned to Mount Vernon Seminary, where ehe received part of her education, 10 appear in a piano recital. It is not always that a young artist can make one conscious of the thoughts by which they are in- spired, but this Miss Nash succeeded in doing to an astonishing degree. The details of a composition had a reason for being and Miss Nash en- reasons and let them Her playing is full of imagery and 5o vivid that it takes precedence over any technical consideration, Miss Nash is a temperamental and brilliant pianist with power and fire in her touch. She has an easy technic that likes to break bounds and rejoice in rapid runs or crash- ing chords, yet this is saved from sxuberance by force of the meaning 3he puts into them. Naturally, this iperament does not give her much iiking for lingerifiy sentimentally Sver certain slow moments, and here and there she missed an effect by reason of this. However, in the two intermezzi by Brahms, the C major and the E flat major, she struck a note of grandeur and gave an inter- pretation that was rich and glowing. Her program ranged from Scar- latt! and Mozart through Brahms und Chopin to a modern group head- »d by two unusually interesting numbers, an “Adagietto” by Pou- lenc and a “Marche” by Prokofleff. To this variety of types she showed herself capable of thorough adjust- ability and understanding and she sought out all that was vital snd played it with proper artistic regard sor the we:?u«r'n style.
