ing entertained large and musical audi
ence at Rauschers with an exceptional
song recital. He was assisted by Miss
Gertrude Reuter-. soprano. and Miss Don

The program, full of numbers of great
contrast and beauty, was of particular in
terest in that many of the selections We're
sung for the first time in Washington. or
in America. and were of such a character
as to make them Immediately popular
with discriminating singers. A group of
Toskan folk poems by Alexander Won
Fielitz showed the marked dramatic char
acteristic which have made that COM
posers other cycles famous. Mr.. Wright
son was In excellent voice. and gave the
songs with subtle interpretative skill. In
marked contrast to their delicacy was the
"Dejectedness'' or Adolf Wallnofer. which
for breadth and larSeness was the domi-
nant number Of the evening, and rem
dered in great tone. Other selections OF
Mr.. Wrightson were by Noel Johnson
Peter Cornelius. Alice Fessenden Peter
sen, Hermann Sohr. Robert Clarke, Flor
ence Aylward, Felix Weingartner and Eu-
gen Hildach. The Rose in the Bud of
Dorothy Forster pleased specially, the en-
tiCn.
Miss Reuter- sang group of four songs
and closed the evening by duet with
Mr.. Wrightson. Her tone was well sus-
ts ined and true, and her rendition Of Lam
don Ronald's Believe Me, If All Those
Endearing Young Charms' and Arthur
Foote'S I'm Wearing Ava showed
marked growth in power of interpreta-
tion. Miss Reuter- unquestionably has a
future. Her Summing" by Wallonfer.
brought her prompt recall
The "Abschied der Voger' of Hildach.
which closed the evening, gave both sin
gers an opportunity and rounded of an
