"LOHENGRIN" SUNG
TO BIG AUDIENCE
AT METROPOLITAN
Maude Fay a New Elsa-Jacques
Urlus Again Appears as Lohen-
grin-Mme. ODER as Ortrud

"Lohengrin" was sung last night at
the Metropolitan for the first time this
season. and large audience was en-
abled 10 observe how differently things
were done upon the banks of the
Scheldt in the days Of Heinrich der
Noglcr than in the days of Wilhelm
the Sudden. Then Elsa of Brsbant
found her Swan knight; to-day she is
still waiting, the guns along the Aisne
bringing her only hope that the white
helmet of her deliverer may yet APP
pear leading the horizon blue and
khski-clad host of her deliverers.
A new Elsa was appearing in the
person of Miss Maude Ray. Miss Fay
had appeared once before at the Met
ropolitan, when last season she sang
Sieglinde. She revealed then an un-
usually charming and ingratiating
personality, and the same personality
she again revealed last night. In
face, figure and bearing she was an
ideal Elsa. Unfortunately she was not
as satisfying vocally. In nezzo -UOce
her voice possessed considerable
beauty, but otherwise it sounded worn
and at times unsteady.
The LohenCrin was jacques Urlus,
who as often sung the part before
with more or less satisfactory results.
Mr. Urlus is decidedly terrestrial and
his voice does get down into his throat.
1t got down there often last night.
Nine. 0ber has always been a superb
Ortrud. II is part peculiarly suited
20 her. and her utterance of the In
vocation in the second act was as
powerful as il ever has been. Mr..
We'll was beside her a rather pale
Telramund, and Carl Braun was by no
means kinglike either in voice or
method OF singing. Robert Leonhardt
was admirable as the Herald. Mr..
Bodanzky gave a refined and poetic
reading OF the score. This was the
cast.

TWO GIVE SONG RECITALS
George Harris, Jr., and Percy Hemus
Heard at Aeolian Hall

George Harris. jr., who is well
known in musical circles, gave re-
cital yesterday afternoon at Aeolian
Hall. Mr.. Harris is an excellent mu-
stefan who sings with TASTE and under
standing. Virility of utterance is not
his and rs q consequence some of his
songs were found lacking, but when
ever was required the spinning out
of tone or the refining Of an already
refined emotion he was excellent. His
singing of the CLICK air and recitative
from Tphigenie en- Taurede," with
which he opened the programme, was
finely executed and left regret that
the opera is given in It's original Lam
guage at the Metropolitan. Mr.. Har-
ris sang il in French with admirable
legato. Among his other songs were
two by Wolf-Ferrari, group OF Rach-
maninoff sung in Russia. and number
of Hugo VOLTS. In all Of these, where
beauty of tone and strength of delivery
could be dispensed with, the result was
pleasing. Mr.. Harris was greeted
warmly by a moderate sized audience.
In the evening the same auditorium
saw recital OF songs IN English by
Percy Hemus. Mr.. Hemus has fine
voice and clear diction. but he IL not
always judicious in his use OF emo
ton aud dramatic utterance. lie
would greatly improve his singing If
he became simpler in expression. Also,
at least in New York, he would do
we'll to drop from his programme the
titles Americas Barytone" and THE
Master Interpreter

Six Persons Give
Blood for Serum to
Fight Child Paralysis

New York, Aug. ls.-After three
and a half ounces of blood had been
taken from six persons today who
have recovered from infantile paraly-
sis, to be used in the preparation OF
the human serum which is said to
have afforded relief to sufferers
from the disease. the health author
tiles tonight issued call for more
volunteers, stating that the supply of
serum was inadequate.
One OF the sufferers to whom the
human serum treatment is being ad-
ministered is DR.. Leroy B. Vail,
whose condition is said to have shown
decided improvement. William A.
Major, president of the Independent
Iron Workers union, died from the
disease today in hospital at Eliza
beth, N. J.
Health officers from the District Of
Columbia and from Tennessee dis
cussed the epidemic today with DR..
Charles E. Banks, in charge of the
federal service here. Three more sur
geons. it was announced, have been
added to the federal staff to assist in
regulating interstate travel.
