A program of rare beauty was given
al the National Theater by Paul Rel
mers. the noted tenor, and Magdeleine
Du Carp. the distinguished French
pianist. at the fourth concert of the
ten star series. yesterday afternoon.
The large and enthusiastic audience
was but slightly diminished by the
end of the program at half after 6
o'clock. a striking testimony to the
great charm of and interest in these
artists.
Mr.. Reimers opened the program
with group Of songs in dtaiian' III ian
French and English, and in each IAN
GGage his diction was beautiful. his
enunciation excellent. He has a light
voice. somewhat limited in range, but
its quality is sympathetic and rich
and 1t has remarkable carrying pow
er. Mr.. Reimers is an accomplished
singer of songs, and moved many of
his hearers alternately to tears and
laughter. so thoroughly does he un-
derstand and master his art. The sec
ond number was a group of French
and German songs. including the ex-
Maison Grise." from the opera For
tunio." by Messenger, who, as con-
ductor of the Paris conservatory Or
chestra, conducted two concerts here
q lie" seasons ago. ne group Ol 1olh
songs. including Hungarian. French.
Viennese. Breton and Spanish, was
beautiful collection of unhackneyed
songs. For encores Mr.. Reimers sang
the negro spiritual. Didn't 1t RAIN"
and after the folk songs. Darling
Nellie Gray"
Miss Du Carp is a brilliant pianist
and plays with vigorous tone and
dashing technique. her work in the
less dramatic numbers seeming more
effective. The SaintSaens "Toccata,
which she played first. was artisti-
cally rendered and the the preludes
in the Chopin group were delightful.
She was apparently at her best in her
last group. which included Ravefs
"JeuX d'eau." GlaZounow's La Mutt
and the LisZt "Polonaise in E Major.
arranged by Busoni. The first two
are exquisite compositions from the
modernS, and they were played with
much charm and beautiful tonal ef-
fects After the Chopin group the
recalls were so insistent that the
artist played for encore Rosenthafs
"Pappillon." a charming bit delight
fully played.
Harry Wheaton Howard. one OF the
best known accompanies in Wash
ington played without rehearsal, as
accompanist for Mr.. Reimers.
The fifth concert of the ten star
series will be given. with Paul

The Happy Man

My neighbor's such cheerful

"How do you keep your smile
on Straightforward makes you
blithe and gay? Although l am
an optimist, and make of glee
fad. | have my grouchy hours,
l wist, while you are always
glad" My neighbor heaved a
gaudy smile that split his map
in twain. and then sat down
upon a stile his gladness to ex-
plain. 81 do not owe a rusty
cent to any man on earth, and
so I'm full of merriment, my
soul is soaked in mirth. | don't
believe that any man can know
ecstatic thrills, if he must walk
the floor and plan to pay up an
cient bills. No creditors invade
nv den. to threaten, bluff or
whine, and when | sell COW or
hen. the price | get is mine.
And | can drive my new green
boat, and none can say: by
jing. he ought to pay me for the
goat he bought from me last
SPRING l cry, each morning
when | rise, 4 owe no man
dime and then l sing and swat
the flies, and have gorgeous
time. Each evening when to
bed go, | say. Pm out of debt,
and guardian angels whisper
low, You are the one best bet.
My neighbor is happy wight;
no matter where he wends there
are no creditors in sight, and all
men are his friends.
