AUDIENCE IS PLEASED
BY DRAMATIC RECITAL
Mrs. Florence Lyon, Assisted by Miss
Burch, Entertains at the Cor
coran Art Gallery.

She told of a beautiful garden where
the children played. where the flowers
and birds made eternal sunshine
whereto came the Christ-child to lead
man from his sin. The speaker, Mrs.
Florence Lyon, recited the story of
The Selfish Giant" Oscar Wilde's
crystal-clear prose poem. at the Cor
coran Gallery of Art last night.
Under the auspices of the Washington
Center of the Drama League Of Amer
lea. Mrs. Lyon gave a dramatic recital,
with incidental music throughout, with
Miss Dorothy Burch at the piano. The
presentations ranged from short Irish
poems to the story of THE Happy
Prince" the latter another of Wilde's
picture stories.
Attired in classic costume. Mrs. Lyon
made an artistic picture against the
classic background of the hemicycle
stage. with its white columns and dark
blue curtain. With this picturesque and
graceful setting the numbers presented
by the reader of the evening were in
complete harmony, no discordant note
either in selection or presentation
marrins the enjoyment of the auditors.
Series of Short Poems.

opening number. La Princess Loin-
taine," by Cecil Tanning, and two
Irish numbers, 1.-The Tonne for Love-"
by Arthur Stringer. and The Fiddler
of Dooney," by William Butler Yeats,
made an especial appeal to many in
the audience. In the latter two Mrs.
Lyon approached almost to song at
times. as Miss Burch played the melody.
Other poems recited were "Magdalen,'
by Henry Kingsley; THE White Moth
by Sir A. T. Quiller-Couch, most dra-
matte number; Keats immortal La
Belle Dame Sans Merci," and THE
Pipes of Pan." by Cecil flaming. The
audience insisted upon several encores.
among them being Princess of the
Morning"
Miss Burch gave several pleasing
piano solos. Rachmaninoff's "Prelude,'
with its sonorous passages and intri-
cate color work, was excellently rem
dered. as was brilliant Chopin valse.
Miss Burch made especial appeal. judg-
ing from applause. with Poldini's
