OPERA COMPANY
OBTAINS USE Of:
H.S.AUD|TOR|UM
Elenora de eisneros to Sing
''DeIiIah" Part Of Saint-Saens
Piece Monday Evening.

The Washington Opera Company,
Edouard Albion general director. has
been fortunate enough to obtain use
Of the large auditorium Of Central
High School, through the, courtesy
Of the Community Center Depart
ment of the Public Schools, for it's
performance OF Saint-Saens grand
opera. Samson and Delilah."' to be
given next Monday evening at S15.
The change from the National
Theater will do two things that
should be advantageous. 1t will
give Washington an evening per-
Torrance Of grand opera. and II will
occur in a week with fewer musical
attractions to clamor for the public's
attention.
The Baltimore performance of
Samson" with the Lyric Theater
almost filled, was brilliant achieve
ment that was greeted with warm
enthusiasm by an audience that did
not have a personal interest in the
success of the enterprise. such as
Washington has.
Samson and Belilah" equals, may
even be said to excel. the rendition
Of Aida" last year, That Is high
praise IL you remember that Aida. 1"
II went without q hitch.
The brilliant performance of Mar
guerite D'Alvarez. who was lu-
minous Delilah in her drama and in
the warm opulence Of her great
voice, will be replaced here by an
other famous Delilah Of grand opera,
Elenora de Cisneros. Nicola Ter.
ola sang with fine dramatic voice
that holds the beauty of the lyric
artist, making an heroic Samson
who brought out the cadence of the
score. But that is anticipating!
OF the massed choral effects. there
was particular excellence in the sud
den transition from the melancholy
Of the Hebrews. in act one, to the
hope In the chorus of Spring. The
laughing chorus in the last act was
splendidly articulated. crisp and
exuberant in its unity. altogether
a difficult accomplishment finely
given.
High In the ranks OF the cast for
our Samson and Delilah" will be
the artists Of the title roles. and
also Hollis Edison Davenny as the
Tittmann whose bearing and vibrant
voice came next in importance to
the two stars, and the control Of
Arnold Volpe, conductor, who gave
the score spiritedly and held the
orchestra and ensemble together ad-
mirably. Herbert Aldridge, Albert
Shefferman and Walter Matson. in
lesser roles. were vocally good and
entered into the stage pictures with
genuine artistic merit
The Washington Samson and
Delilah" may be looked forward TO
with assurance OF a brilliant per-
Torrance, with strong cast, excel
lence Of stage picture. and a musi-
cal value Of interest in this opera
that Is so rarely heard it Is a dis
tinct novelty.
