AMUSEMENT
Matzenauer Recital.

Mime. Margaret Matzenauer. who was
heard at the National Theater yester-
day afternoon. enjoys the distinction OF
being not only famous opera star. but
also one of the most celebrated con-
cert singers Of the day. In yesterdays
concert she measured up to the best
that has been said Of her However, when
one possesses vocal equipment equal
to the most difficult Of opera arias and
has made successes in leading roles in
the best operas. 1t is not surprising that
q little disappointment was felt when the
program failed to reveal an opera aria
or even a song requiring much dramatic
fire. The disappointment, in a measure,
was assuaged. when. as an encore fol-
lowing her last song. MeyerbeerS "Ah,
mon Ais" was given. In this selection
the full voice was heard and a range
of over two octaves covered. Mime.
Matzenauer's voice was full and rich
throughout and the transition from one
register to the other was so smooth as
scarcely to be noticeable. This famous
aria rendered by a famous singer proved
to be what the people wanted and they
were then willing to depart with praises
upon their lips.
The program was divided into four
groups OF songs. The first and second
groups represented the old composers
and included the following: II Thou
ven.. "Oh, del milo dolce ardor" (Gluck),
Warning" (Mozart). Mother. Oh Sing
Me to Rest" and 1.-The Butterfly is in
Love With the Rose" Franz); Snow
bells" and Spring Night" (schumann).
The pianissimo required in these num-
bers ws.s beautiful. Two Debussy songs
followed. Beau soir'' and "Mandoline."
much applause. 7he remaining num-
bers were; III h.eut des pstales des

noft): "on Wings Of Dream" tArensky)
In Arensky's "On Wings Of Dream
the change in facial expression and tone
to represent life. death and reunited
hereafter constituted a bit of effective
acting that was remarkable considering
the limitations Of the concert stage.
Mr. Richard Hageman was splendid
as the accompanist.
The concert was ono of the T. Arthur
Smith ten-star series and the large au-
dience present gave evidence Of the
popularity of these concerts.

OPPOSE Enactment
OF THE PACKERS BILL
Senators Sherman and Ferna1d Al
lege It Is Unwarranted Interfer-
ence With Private Industry.

ence With Private Industry.
Strong opposition to the passage of
the so-called packers bill. to regu-
late the meat packing business, was
voiced in the Senate yesterday by
Senators Sherman of Illinois and Fer
nald of Maine, both of whom are re-
publicans.
The senators said that the proposed
legislation would be an unwarranted
interference with a particular private
industry, which might be extended to
other lines of business with injurious
results.
Opposition of both senators to the
measure, which will be voted on next
Monday, also included Attacks upon
the Federal Trade Commission, which
has supported. the legislation. Sem
ator Sherman, charging that the COM
missions criticism of the big five"
packers had injured their export
trade, declared that a copy of one of
the commissions reports got into the
hands Of the British board of trade
months before it was made public in
this country.
A substitute for the Gronna bill was
introduced by Senator Sterling, re-
publican, South Dakota. proposing
transfer of government regulation Of
the meat industry to the Federal
Trade Commission. instead of the new
livestock commission provided in the
Gronna bill. Senator Sterling's sub
stitute also provided for less federal
supervision than is provided in the
Gronna bill, and had as one of its
principal provisions publicity OF meat
packing affairs.

Edmund Brady Speaks at Thrift
Meeting Of R. r, z. II. C.. A.

The thrift meeting at the Terminal
z. r. Y. NJ. c. A, Union station. was
addressed yesterday by Edmund
Brady.
The speaker said the right to make
will is not inherent, but merely
egal, and therefore it is essential
hat legal statutes be observed. The
variation between laws Of the differ
ant states and the District, he pointed
out, Is one Of the greatest causes of
difficulties in will writing and makes
it especially necessary that legal ad-
vice be obtained. He recounted sew
eral specific instances in which un-
fortunate results followed the failure
to protect a will in this particular.
