world made her New York debut yes,
terday afternoon at Aeolian Hall and
succeeded in making pleasing impress

young singer was at her best in the
group of modern French songs, and
especially in the two numbers of
Bruneau's, lie Pavane" and lie passe
PieG," and Godard's lie Tasse." In
these songs her delicacy of feeling and
of taste and a certain emotional rich
ness were shown at their best.
Her voice was equal to most of the
demands upon it. and when called upon

1t was pity that at times in the upper
register it took on a stridency and a
hardness of timbre. but aside from this
defect her singing was always agree
able and intelligent. Besides the
French songs, she gave two numbers

Western Governors

Reclamation Plans
Congressman Declare Hope

OH Account of Policy
of Economy Imposed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Governors
of Western states and representatives of
the Western States Reclamation Asso-
citation conferred to-day with Senators
and Representatives to urge govern
ment aid for reclamation of Western
arid lands.
Little encouragement was given to
the delegation, which was told that
strict economy was being practiced by
Congress and that authorization of no
new projects or large appropriations
other than those absolutely necessary
was contemplated.
Among those who urged Federal aid
were Governors Bamberger Of Utah,
Hart Of Washington and Larrazola of
New Mexico. Other speakers were D.
w. Davis, of Idaho, chairman of the
reclamation association; T. E. tCamp-
bell, of Arizona. and former Senator
Catron, of New Mexico. All urged
passage of the bill of Senator Jones,
Republican, of Washington, which has
been reported favorably to the Senate,
proposing appropriations of $3.50 ,000,-
600 for irrigation projects. 1t was sug-
SeSleu tHaC IL ulIecI APPROPRIATIONS

Senator McNary, Republican, of Ore
gon, chairman Of the Senate Irrigation
Committee, who, with Representative
Kinkaid, Republican, of Nebraska,
chairman of the House committee, pre-
sided at the conference, told the
Western delegation that he did not
think the Jones bill would pass, nor a
bond issue be authorized.
81 think failure viii be our reward"
said Senator McNary. "The DISPOSE
ton of Congress is against putting any
money into new projects. If we get
through bond issue for $40 900, 900 to
carry on the irrigation work l think
we will be Fortunate"
Senator Thomas, Democrat, Of Colo
RADIO, said he favored the appropriation
for reclamation extension, but doubted
if Congress would make it. He said
the government would be fortunate if it
could get through the present year
without another popular loan.

A collection of Japanese color prints
including many important prints from
the collection Of an old Samurai fam
lily in Toxic, brought together by the
we'll known connoisseur Bunkio Mat
suki, which is to be sold by auction
next Monday and Tuesday, is now on
exhibition at the same galleries.
Mr.. Matsuki says of his collection
"The collection of prints here assem-
bled, though it contains works by few
primitives, includes superior examples
by famous masters, such as Okumura
Masanobu, Harunobu, Kiyonaga, Shun-
sho, Utamaro, Hiroshige, Toyokuni and
Kuniyoshi.
at is almost impossible to bring
back fine prints from the East, for the
native collectors are too eager to Sc
cure them. Fortunately, there was a
certain old Samurai family in Toxic
from WuOul INC IlpSt lNl lpOI IIdHJ pIlHl Us
in this collection were obtained. Of
these | would particularly mention the
works of Hiroshigc. Future generations
will pride themselves on possessing
such celebrated and rare prints as the
three triptychs of Hiroshige: 'Naruto,
Moonlight in Kanagawa,' and 'Kiso
Gorge in Snow The collection also
contains an admirable example by Uta-
marc, large kakemono called
Mother and Child and number OF
excellent prints by Kuniyoshi, unfa-
miliar to the Western collector. Of the
whole collection the most superb print
is undoubtedly the large kakemono
by Shunsho, magnificent and rare
specimen and splendid picture Of the
Ukiyoye world.
"My aims have been to secure prints
for discriminating collectors as well
as for those who would beautify their
homes with these decorative and color
full pictures. For this latter purpose
| collected a number of Hiroshige's s
figure prints, for his fame does not rest
on his landscapes alone, as his figures
have charm and grace that is most
appealing"

Interest in Coqus Concerto Is

There were things in Fritz Kresler's s
violin recital yesterday afternoon at
Carnegie Hall to please varied tastes
from the high grace of the Bach suite
in minor, the glitter of the Tartini
Devils Trill" sonata and the romance
of the Conus minor concerto, to the
pretty triles which his clamorous audi
ence kept demanding until the lights
were put out.
Kreisler played the Conus concerto
with broad sweep and with convic-

point throughout its rather diffusc
movements, an achievement by no
means to the credit of all those who
have essayed it during the last few
seasons The audience was of capacity

Irwin Granich had an excellent
theme for his play Money" but he is
much too long winded in telling it. The
fact that the scene is laid in a dark

should halt and stumble to- such an ex-
tent: We have learned that it is not
good form to refer to such plays, no
matter how deep underground they
may be, as gloomy. Rather they are
sombre. For our part we think that
modern stagecraft is often little
precious in putting on plays with such
scant illumination that only the owl

so, we are going to make no comment
