Unless $4,000 is raised for the

East in Washington by tomorrow
night, the District will fail for the
first time to subscribe its full quota
in the various bond and relief cam
paigns.
But $4,000 of the S15O,OOO has
been raised" said Eugene L. Thomp-
son. TaS Fifteenth street, treasurer
OF the committee, today The Dis
trict should make an especial effort
to raise as much of the fund as pos
sible in order TO keep up the record
which has prevailed throughout the
war.
"Disconcerting kilograms, telling OF
terrible conditions in Armenia, Syria
and Persia with famine conditions in
the former country continue to be re-
ceived. The drive is most worthy in
its purpose and deserves attention
from Washington"
The theaters and motion picture
houses of the city have contributed
greatly to the amount already raised,

DEBUTANTE WINS
PRAISE AT RECITAL

An unusual happening in musical
annals occurred yesterday afternoon
when Giovanni Martinelli, tenor of the
Metropolitan Opera, fairly divided
honors with a young and charming
debutante, Grace Moore, soprano, who
was the assisting artist with this
much heralded Italian tenor in his
recital at the National Theater.
Mr.. Martinelli is essentially the
operate dramatic tenor, with an opu.
lent voice that is impassioned and
virile. He sings entirely in bravufa
manner, rather too much so for re-
cital, his forte being the tenipe,ft-
mental outpouring of his voice that
gains its greatest appeal in chR:-
acteristic, blithe, and even humorous

opera comedy in the style the IA

But he has an uneven production,
at times throaty, at times nasal, that
robs his singing OF much beauty; u0r
does he value melody. that alluring
asset of the Ualian. Rather does he

typical Italian "Nina" of Tanara,

Again we quarrel with a group IN
English. Why should the foreign
artist essay English when Il
cannot be understood, when it is
broken English, while the artist
in his native element has much
to contribute? A serenade 'Stornelli,'
by his accompanist, Emilio Roxas, was
a charming song. and Mr.. Roxas was
significant in the delicate tone color
of his accompaniments throughout the
program.
There was real delight in the sing
ing of Miss Moore. To contrast this
young soprano by hearing her in the
scene and aria from Aida" .he
"L'insana parole" and to find so much
of art, or style, and then grace it
with the lovely lyric beauty and
freshness OF her voice. and a PEI
