GAYETY-"All in Fun. +"

An unheralded performer stepped
out and made a hit of the show at
the Gayety Theater last night. 1t
was Matty White. comedian with
an odd get-up, some new songs and
a good deal of talent He will go
farther.
The show Is one of Barney Gerard's
connections of songs, dances and non
sense, entitled "AIl in Fun" and is
well named. VIII Fox and Harry
Koler are comical as two lawyers
who are lodging the police almost
continually. The show carries one of
the liveliest little soubrettes in bur
lesque in Anna Propp, a sort of vest
pocket edition of femininity, but at
that one who does not need the aid
of the spotlight to draw attention.
Momi Kalama (that might be her
real name, but you can use your own
judgment) puts on several dances
after the fashion of a we'll known
Broadway cabaret performer and
does ther. well. Ada Lum is good
as the priina donna.

New York Symphony Recital.

| Walter Damrosch, in his own in
imitible style, and the New York SYM
phony Orchestra, splendidly sensitive.
| captivated their capacity audience at
| Central High School last night, in the
| second of five explanatory concerts
| under auspices of the Washington So
ciety OF Fine Arts.
In a program of well chosen and
beautifully interpreted works, Mr..
Damrosch and his orchestra played
delightfully."- with the emotions of
their hearers. There was not a heavy
moment.
Beethoven was chosen as the heart
or the evenings presentation, with
the symphony No. 2 in D." from the
composers early period, breathing a
Joyous, yet soulful message, deep
hued throughout. Full of counter
point, the first movement opened with

ducing the innovation of a break in
the theme, with no tonal connection.
In explaining this feature of the
symphony prior TO its presentation,
Mr.. Damrosch. seated at the piano,
deplored the fact that composers to-
day were overriding that modulation
by jumping too eXtravagantly from
one theme to another, like doing the
countryside at forty miles an hour"
The symphony closed with life, fam

The Pemberton Dancers.

Stafford Pemberton presented the
Pemberton Dancers, a local organi-
zation. in program thoroughly pro-
fessional. at the President Theater
last night. Each number was as
fn\hed as in performances given here
by visiting companies, yet. according
TO a note on the program. none of
the dancers participating. with the
exception of Mr.. Pemberton himself,
had studied over a year.
Gloria Redman. pricipal feminine
dancer, is not only lovely to look at
but seems a talented dancer Her
poses are full of confidence and grace
and she makes the transition from
one to another with the smoothness
and sureness of an artist. One of
the prettiest numbers was Miss Red
mons solo dance to the music of
Chopin's Funeral March" She was
lovely, as Dagmar, the white slave
in the final dance drama. '"The Slave
Market" and quite satisfactory as
the gold digging Eve, in 1.-The Lost
Paradise"
Alexia Rronte,. another featured
dancer, proved a delightful performer,
but of different type. She Is small
and .wirey. yet graceful. In the
"On the Lawn" she was an effective
tiny foil to her tall partner
In the colorful and rather acrobatic
Samson and Della" Mr. Pemberton
and Olga Mernoff posed as many
angles to the music of Saint-Saen's
beautiful opera, demonstrating the
strength and poise of Samson"
One of the artistic numbers was
the Beautiful Blue Danube" danced
TO Strauss music by large group in
two well-balanced sections, with a
novel whip -the-whip finale that was
most effective. The Bachanalle, which
nln rot nf
was a colorful ensemble. Music in
Motion" was one of the INSTALLATION
cloud, wind and water dances with
n large veil that has proved popular
with sereval companies.
Mr.. Pemberton, himself, was in fine
form and went through his part in
each of his numbers with ease and
artistic finish.
Meyer Goldman's Orchestra not
only furnished sympathetic accom-
paniment to the dances, but during
intermissions played Grieg's Peer
