You Forget Work and Worry When You Entertain in The Tea Room A luncheon or bridge tea in the quiet atmosphere of the Tea Roorg adds immeasurably to the success of your “get- together.” The tiring responsibility is taken from your shoulders, allowing you to be the charming hostess you want and mean to be. Especially arranged and decorated tables can be had if desired. And, to be enjoyed by all, the delicious food and appetizing dishes for which the Tea Room is noted. TxA Roos, SevENTR FLOOR. under Claude Robeson’s direc- tion, brought back some famil- far numbers. Among them was “The Dew Is Soft” (Es blinckt der Tau), by Rubinstein, the lovely strains of which opened the concert in the large ball room of the Willard Hotel. That this well-known choral group seems to be at its best where lyriclsm is required was evidenced once again in “The Winds,” by Mertis, with tenor obbligato, hummed and partly sung by the chorus, the voices forming a beautiful background to the tenor part, sung by Ernest McChesney, soloist and guest of the evening. Mr. McChesney chose for his- piece de resistance the ever-popular aria from “Carmen,” “La Fleure que tu m'avais jetee” Endowed with a fine, ringing voice, Mr. McChesney uses it | with freedom and artistry. His pres- | entations in French, German, Italian | and English spoke of careful training, | his diction and enunciation being ex- | pert in all four languages. Strange as | it may seem, French added power and | resonance to his voice, Perhaps a still greater perfection of the legato will| insure him the place of prominence he well deserves. | Besides the aria, Mr. McChesney offered two groups of songs consisting of Haendel's “Alma Mia,” Strauss’ “All Mein Gedanken” Foudrain's “L'Oasis” and “Carnaval” The last, the closing number of the first group, brought forth generous applause and the artist was recalled several nmes.} The American and English songs in- | cluded “The Bitterness of Love” by | Dunn; Golde’s “Love Was With Me Yesterday,” Dunhill's “The Cloths of | Heaven” and “Love Went A-Riding,” by Frank Bridge. | Richard Wagner and his chorals from “Die Meistersinger” and an ar- | rangement by Wilson and Spicker of | the “Spinning Wheel” from the “Fly- | ing Dutchman” and the “Pilgrims’ Chorus” from the “Tannhauser, re- spectively, formed one of the two longer groups presented by the Rubin- stein Club. Whether the arrange- ments were not adequate or the tone too broad and not concentrated enough to float, the numbers were less | effective than some of the others. The successful concert was closed | with three numbers by Jean Sibelius, “The Bells of Berghall Church,” ar- ranged by William Lester; “Through the Years” (Finlandia), arranged by Cyr De Brant, and “Black Roses,” ar- | ranged by William Lester. An almost capacity audience grew more appreciative as the concert pro- gressed. | Adele Robinson Bush, the accom- | panist of the evening, was deserving | of especial praise. —E. de S. .
