Nine. Eva Gauthier Sings
French and British Songs
at Aeolian Hall

Nine. Eva Gauthier, whose pro
grammes are always Of unusual in
terest, gave song recital devoted to
the modern French and British com
posers yesterday afternoon at Aeolian
Hall. Nine. Gauthier opened the re-
cital by saying that she was afflicted
with cold and had just had an opera
tion on her jaw. Her subsequent
singing, however, gave no such indi-
cation. She was in as good voice as
she usually is.
Nine. Gauthier's voice is ADEQUATE
to the types of songs she essays and
her taste and interpretive powers are
above the ordinary. The first two
things on her programme were two
Hebrew melodies, "Koddisch' and
"L'enigme eternellc," with piano ac-
compartments by Maurice Ravel.
These we're intensely moving, and in
both of them Mr.. Rave had seized
the essential spirit to an extraordinary
degree.
Less could be said for Cyril scott's
harmonization and arrangement Of
three old English songs Where BE
Going?" "Drnk to Me Only With
Thine Eyes" and "Summer Is Acomin'
In Mr.. Scott's preciosity is ill-suitcd
to the vigor of old England. Another
group which caught the fancy Of the
audience was devoted to Erik Satie.
The songs were ola Statue dc Bronze" "
"Daphenio" and Gle Chapelier" They
were all in what was when they were
written Satics peculiar idiom
Then, TO show the other side Of
Sate's genius, Nine Gauthicr gave
one Of his cafc-concert waltzes. and an
excellent popular tune it was. Then
there were songs by Norman Peterkin,
John Ireland, Joseph Holbrook and
Frank Bridge, and all Of them Nine.

StupeRdOus Undertaking.
The transcontfental air derby,
States army and the American Fly
ing club, is without doubt the most
stupendous undertaking in the his
tory of aviation. The flyers are
blazing an aerial trail across the
continent for future use in both
military and commercial aviation
as we'll as test to the utmost the
reliability and endurance Of almost
every make of machine that has
been developed since the start of
the great war.
The flyers will cover more than
twenty-seven hundred air miles,
flying as low as the topography
and the prevailing winds permit,
over a country that presents more
of the varied and fascinating beau
ty of natures handiwork than any
other 2,700 miles on earth.
With the exception of the Brit
ish, French and Italian entries, all
of the contestants are officers of
the United States army, many of
whom made records in the recent
war and three of them crack aces.
Much valuable information is ex-
pected to be obtained from the
flight, and, according to many
army officers, it's success will have
much influence on the proposed
legislation in Washington tending
toward the separation of the air
service from both the army and
navy and creating separate
branch of military service. At a
recent poll Of the 1900 members of
the American Flying club, SO per
cent of the members were in favor
of a separate air service and among
those who voted for it were many
flyers of the navy department.
