Good Chorus, Fine Singers and

A wonderfully successful concert
performance Of verdPs aida" was
given last night in Memorial CONT
mental Hall. d. A R.. under the
auspices of the National Peace Caril-
lon committee OF the Arts Club Of

Brilliant soloists, a well balanced
chorus, and effective work by the or
chestra, under Charles s. Wengerd
made the production one OF the
finest of its kind ever heard here.
Ernest Davis tenor. from the
Chicago and Boston operas, scored a
personal triumph as Radames. His
singing of the Celeste Aida" was
perhaps the best part OF the score.
His voice is delightfully."- smooth and
even. though he easily rose to the
dramatic heights called for. especially
in Act III.
Marguerite Fontrese made a thrill

man and has correspondingly big,
full voice, which Is very rich, notably
in the middle register. Her thorough
knowledge OF the score and her
grasp of its dramatic quality were
evident
Mrs. Ethel Holtzclaw Gawler. in
the role Of Aida, was in fine voice.
Her singing, well known here for its
lyrical beauty. last night had an
added dramatic quality which was
very effective.

chance is one Of more than a score
of Government officials and public
men who have recently filed COM

Included in this list are several Con-

ARTIST EXCELS ON
AUTOMATIC PIANO
Maurice Oambois Gives Unusual
Concert at Masonic
Auditorium.

Maurice Dambois. solo pianist. eel
list and gifted accompanist and the
Duo-Art piano. were presented In an
unusual and very delightful joint
recital by o. j. DeMoll at Masonic
Auditorium last night In appreclst-
ing the living artist, one was I'M
pressed In greater variety OF ways
with the amazing capacity for music
that this rare automatic piano mas
attained In its power to reproduoe
the tone and interpretations OF the
great artists OF the piano worid OK
today.
We are surely living In an age Of
wonders. Here we had Maurice
Dambois playing a two-piano recital
with Percy Granger and with Ru-
dolph CAM. Again we had him as
solo pianist and composer play frag-
ments OF his own delightful "Baga-
telle" that the Duo-Art picked up
and continued with all his finest
touches OF phrase and varied tone.
so that the transition was indistin-
suishabis when one was not looking.
And then we had him playing his
rare cello. the Duo-Art as accompan-
ist-the accompaniment having been
recorded from Mr.. Dambois' own
playing Of it on the piano.
This last feat was the most unique
and at the same time the most re-
vesling achievement OF the inter-
pretive art of the Duo-Art. The So
loist gave Saint-Saens' THE Swan"
and the ancient Jewish air. "Kol
Nidrei." with apparently all the
liberties of Interpretation and tone
color that he desired. And yet that
lifeless piano followed him in tone

were animating 1t. The last slow
phrases Of the rich Jewish melody
found the accompaniment in abso-
lutte sympathy. the retards. the small
changes In tempo that means the
artists breathing" IL one may say
that in instrumental music.
In the piano concert Of Tschaikow-
sky played by Percy Granger. with
the orchestral part arranged and
played by Mr.. Dambois himself on
another plano, the brilliance Of this
young pianist and his very personal
spirit and hurried tempo brought
him vitality before his hearers. The
change in personality when Mr.. CAM
played the French military march
from Saint-Saens' "Algerienne Suite"
given a more merged rendition with
the second piano, proved that the
real artist can be brought out, his
individuality not alone of time and
phrase, but his feeling and his pass
ing mood.
The art Of Mr.. Dambois as cellist
needs special praise for its richness
and beauty Of tone and rhythm.
When he toured this country as &C
oompanist for the great Ysaye, he
left a memorable impression. A fell
low countryman of the great Bel
gian. M. Dambois. by the variety OF
his gifts, gives An unusual exposition
of how art of music today can be
caught, like portrait on canvas. to
reveal the soul Of the musician to
future generations. The piano has
found such a portrait painter in the
Duo-Art as 1t was heard last even

was almost a duel role, for this great
and always lovable contralto was
heard as the singer of the great
dramatic aria that has made her
supreme on the opera stage, and
again as the rare interpreter of the

she puts an indefinable art-an art
that tells the younger generation what
