RUSSIAN SINGER
PLEASES AGAIN
Miss Tarasova' S Personality
Is Great Aid IN Dramatic
Offerings.

Nina Tarasoya, the Russian dra-
attic contralto who appeared in
washington at the end of last
years musical season and aston
ished her hearers with the vim and
dramatic energy of her songs, was
heard again at the New National
Theater yesterday afternoon under
the local management of T. Arthur
Smith. She was assisted by Helen
Ware, violinist, and Lazar S. Weiner
accompanist.
Every one of the songs that she
presented was a miniature drama,
tragic or gay, pastoral or sensuous.
1t was not merely great art, but
IT was the expression of an ex-
traordinary natural gift. Tarasova
has personality that arouses en-
thusiasm- She is not merely a sin
er-she is an actress. So keen and
bright is her intelligence and so
sincere the emotional and dramatic
values back of her interpretations.
however. that 1t would not matter
whether the artist had a voice or
not She would hold and sway her
hearers just the same.
Possesses n Rare Gift.
Tarasova possesses that rarest of
all qualities-personali From the
top of her head to the soles Of her
feet the distance is not great, but
every inch of it Is crowded with
life. The singer appeared in the pic
4 turesque and beautiful character
costumes of her people; and her
% head of red. bobbed hair added to
her attractive appearance Her in
troductory remarks to several of
nHnnharS
ture of most unusual program.
Among the numerous numbers on
the program. several were sung in
English-"You Better Ask Me" and
To My First Love-" Both selec-
uons were enunciated with a dis
tnctness surprising that of a large
number OF our own singers.
Tarasova's concluding group of
solos consisting of Russian folk
songs which have been used by
famous musicians in their compo-
sitions- The orchestral arrange
ments of these scores were used as
a background for the piano accom-
paniments.
Plays Three Eneores.
So insistent were the demands for
additional numbers that three en-
cores selections were given after
the audience had started to leave
the theater.
Miss Ware possesses a charming
personality, but seemed to be han
dicapped in the successful rendi-
tion of her selections. The fact
that part of the audience was be-
ing seated during pauses in her
playing of Lolo's symphonic
Espagnole," the first number on the
program, was an unfortunate be-
ginning.
The playing of Believe Me II All
Those Endearing Young Charms as
an encore did not improve matters
for the violinist. 1t is to be hoped
that Washingtonians will be privi-
legged to hear this young artist
again under more auspicious cir
cumstances.
Lazar s. Weiner performed his
task as accompanist in a mastery
manner.
