ing among them some of the most
prominent men in the church. These
with their wives will make between
400 and 500 people who must find
entertainment in Durant for ten
days.
Very soon committee will be So
lected to canvass the city over to
procure accommodations for the COM
missioners and guests. Efforts will
be made to quarter as many as pOssi-
BILE in the homes Of members of the
church. but those will not be nearly
enough. and an appeal will be made
to all householders with room for
guests to open their homes for the
entertainment of the commissioners
and visitors.
The Presbyterian College closes
shortly before the opening OF the
Assembly, and quite a number of the
I l.
! College.
The needs of the College. and the
desire of the members of the Assem-
bly, to see for themselves the work
the institution is doing. was one of
things which enabled Durant to Sc
cure the Assembly.

DOUTY DELIGHTS
IN SONG-LECTURE

THE Opera" the first OF series
Nicholas Douty, tenor, to Washing
ton last evening. when he discourscd
in his charming manner on Opera
Before Verdi and Wagner" giving de-
iiEhtfuI illustrations OF opera when
bel canto" reigned supreme and the
test of the performance lay in the
pure vocal art of the singer.
The occasion served to inaugurate
the winters music season, and was
the first art-educationaI event to be
given by the Washington Society OF
the Fine Arts. in the auditorium OF
the Central High School.
Sixteenth, seventeenth, and eight
eenth century music OF the scholas-
tic type, he gave-opera with the
touch, OF the oratorio upon it-Monte-
verde, Lully who took Italian opera
into Franco and there brought the
French spirit into his works with the
lightness and grace that pcTvaded the
court at Versailles. and also with the
inclusion OF a ballet, that essential In
the opera OF France up to the change
which has come in the most modern
OF her music.
Then Handel, Nozsrt-the vocal art
OF the male singer here requiring the
delicscy and facility in trill and runs
OF the woman's voice-ell these Mr.
Douty gave with exquisite taste and
execution, with high art in phrase
and style and color.
To the singer is due all the glory
OF this older school, and melody
pure tune" as Mr.. Douty calls it
is its dominant charm, too much so
sometimes, in its linked sweetness
long drawn out" such as Donizetti
created.
OF sterner mold was a recitative
from Beethoven's 'Fidelio"-the first
impress of the accompaniment into
the form, while Weber with a
Freischutz aria gave a foretaste of
the heroic defamation foreshadow-
ing Wagner.
Singing is a rare vocal attainment
in such music as this, and 1t is only
the serious and the musical artist
who can we'll interpret it Such an
artist is Mr.. Douty. He added one
single modern note-a French art
song, "L'heure exquise," OF Reynaldo
Hahn, for encore.
Miss Lucy Brickenstein, at the
piano, felt and gave the authorize
tive spirit of this clear music with
shading and style that is so fully re-
vealed.
The second Iecture-recital OF this
series will be on "Vcrdi and Wagner"
