Explanatory Recitals
Resumed by Damrosch

Operas, Given ON Piano Be.
fore Large Audience

With the temperance Of "Dle
Walkuere" at the Metropolitan, Walter
Damrosch yesterday resumed his ex-
planatory piano recitals on the Nibe-
lungen Ring operas at Aeolian Hall,
with "Rheingold," before o large au-
dience. He prefaced the recital by
welcoming the return Of Wagner
whose temporary exclusion he attrib-
uted TO largely feminine war psy-
Ghosts, aggravated by the Muck fnci-
dent, which saw German propaganda In
German music and imagined q con-
nection between Wagner's heroes and
Nietzoche's "blond beast"
In his explanation Mr.. Damrosch
contrastcd the power Of Wagner's
music In holding the imagination with
the inadequacy Of scenic devices. He
emphasized the connection between the
music and the story, pointing out that
the orchestra gave q perpetual com
mentary on what was happening on the
stage and developed music and plot
alike. His lecture was interesting and
vivid, enriched with comparisons be-
tween Logc and a corporation lawyer
Alberch, and Hugo SHINES, although it
is doubtful whether myste rious

Mccormack Sings
AT Hippodrome i'm
A Varied Program
Offers New Numbers, Many
of Them Pleasing, bur
Tenor Is Not at His Best
in His Opening Recital

John Mccormack gave his first reci-
tai Of the season at the Hippodrome
last evening, assisted by Donald Nc
Reath. violinist. and Edwin Schneider,
pianist. 1t was virtually the first re-
cital by the tenor since his European
tour, for. with the exception of one ap-
oearance for charity last spring imme-
diately after his return to America. Mr..
Mccormack has not sung in New York
for almost year. 1t was said that
all the songs on the program are new.
Whether any one of them had been
sung hese before Ia &c little import
ance. 1t was their first performance
by Mr.. Mccormack and he is to be
thanked fer enlarging his repertoire.
Few singers of his Widespread popu-
larty are as Industrious. as pairstak-
ing in providing audiences with variety.
The Songs included a serenade from
Rimsky Korsakoff's might in Nav"
Rachmaninoff's "To the Children"
Tscherepnin's "To Music" Vassilenko's
The Reapers." Phillips's How Dear
to Me the Hour" Shaw's "The palan-
Guin Bearers" Harrison's "On the
neacn az lana, NuSSellS 8 vale" and
four Irish folk songs.
Many of them were pleasing, and ore
or two especially IN the group by Rus
sian composers are valuable additions
to the singer's repertoire Two at
least had the merit of genuine dis
tinction. These were "Gioitc al Can
ton Milo by Jacopo Peri and alma
del Core" by Antonio Caldara.
Unfortunately, Mr. Mccormack was
not at his best. His mastery Of sing
ing has often been praised in this
journal. But last evening, whatever
the reason, his voice was in poor con.
dition, and failed to respond to the
demands made upon it, His singing
was surprisingly throaty and labored
and the singers repeated resorting to
falsetto did not improve matters.
Singers are human beings. They have
their good and their bad days, but it
is pity when an artist of Mr. McCor-
mack's caliber falls so conspicuously
below his usual average of excellence.

Stopak Offers
SeldOm-I Heard
Violin Number
Sonata in G Minor, Credited
10 Eccles-Salmon, With
Light, Sparkling Finale.
Is Well Worth Hearing
By II. E. Krehbiel

The first number on the program Of
the recital given by Josef Stopak In
Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon
piqued (American novelist's English
"intrigued'O the curiosity Of students
Of violin music. We cannot recall that
we ever saw It on local program be-
fore. 1t was set down thus: Sonata
in G minor, Eccles-S Salmon (1670-
17420"
natural conclusion from this was
that the composer Of the piece was
Solomon Eccles, or Eagles, musician
who lived in London in the reign Of
Charles " He was an eccentric in
dividual with screw loose in his in
tellectual apparatus, somewhat larger
than is ordinarily found In music J
genuses. He turned Quaker and eased
a torturing conscience Dy burning his
music books and instruments and tax
ing up the honorable trade Of shoe
making. During the great plague he
ran naked through the streets Of Lon
don town with brazier Of burning
birthstone on his head. He went to
the West INDIES with George Fox in
1871 and year later to New England
and in the New World seems to have
resumed the wicked profession which
he had spectaculary renowned when
he made bonfire of its implements on
Tower Hill.
But the dates attached 20 the sonata
do not fit him, for he was born in 1918
and died in 1888; moreover, it is not of
record that he composed any sonatas.
A greater likelihood is that the work
which we heard yesterday was written
by his son, Henry Eccles, who was
member of the Kings Band for sixteen
years prior to l7l0, when he vent to
Paris became a member of the French
Kings violins, and in 1920 published
twelve solos for the violin ("wrtten in
the style of Corelli" says MIR. Hadow in
Groves "Dict onary"). He is said to
have died in 1912.
If, nevertheless, Solomon Eccles wrote
tho ecna some cntcrprising historian
ought to hurry forward with the sug-
gestion that it may possibly be an early
example of American music But
whether written in New England or
the West Indies by Solomon Eccles, or
in Paris hy his son, the sonata was well
worth hear ng, especially its gay and
sparkling finale. Mr.. Stopak played it,
as he did the Saraband (with its varia
tion) and Bourree, from Bach's solo
suite in B minor, like painstaking
scholar who is earnestly reaching out
for the laurels of virtuosoship.
In his reading of It, as we'll the
Bach piece, there entered an awkward
ness of cadence due to the fact that he
never applied the mordent at the end
of a trill. Whether or not in this he
was adhering literally to the text of the
composer we are not in a position to
say. Appeal would have to be made to
the original editions of the compost
tions.

Lucille Watson Has
Her Ideal Role i'm
THE White Villa"

TN THE heroine of "The White
villa" Lucille Watson at last h has n.'s a
part to her liking. The piece
which the Players Fellowship and A.
H. Woods are giving at special matt
nees in the ~Eltinge Theater arrived
just in time, she believes, to save her
from the doom Of drawing room and
adventures parts.
"The White Villa" adapted by Edith
Ellis from The Dangerous Age Of Karen
Michaelis, avowedly concerns a patho-
logical problem in the life Of women.
1t deals with a year in the life of Elsie
Lindtner, who, after twenty years as
the circumspect and rather decorative
wife Of complacent man of wealth,
stuns her husband by demanding her
freedom, the one thing hiss bounty had
never been able to give. her. With an
unexpected legacy she buys little
island and retires there to her white
villa, the creation of handsome young
suitor whom her better judgment re-
luctantly dismisses as TOO young TO be
her mate. Eight months of liberty.
loneliness and tedium find her shaken
She grasps at her waning beauty and
summons the young lover. But he has
found new heart interest. Then she
calls back her former husband, only to
find that he, too, has piled his freedom
toward another love. And the curtain
falls or defeated and emptied life
Lucille Watson approaches the repre-
sentation of Elsie Lindtner with a
lively sense that somehow there is q
balance OF power in the incalculable
forces of life. There are tracts which
the angels actually fear TO tread.
Don't ever boast" is the warning
which Elsie Lindtner prompts in the
raind Of Miss Watson. Even our
thought is challenge, and they-the
forces out there-take up the challenge
at once.
''Elsie Lindtner was indeed circunl-
spect, She had calculated her exist
ence even down TO the least emotion,
and she felt perfectly secure of herself.
She had married for money and for
creature comforts. She is forty-two
