DIFFICOL TIES
At RECITAL
Great Basso Forced to Sing
Under Disturbing Conditions
and Concert Is Mediocre
RY .IESSIE MacRRTDE.

The great Chaliapin, car Of
Russian opera bassos, gave but
eight selections In his recital at
Polls yesterday afternoon, the rest
of the two-hour program consisting
of Indifferent violin solos and piano
solos by his accompanist.
There almost threatened to be no
concert for the capacity audience,
Mr.. Chaliapin's personal manager
asserted, so upset was this actor.
singer by the homogeneous stage
arrangement, the leftover little
eheater" setting Of the current play.
And what was worse. this small
box-roonn had an elevated platform
upon which the concert grand
piano was placed and which proved
hollow sounding box for piano
tone. besides having a shabby tin
footlight elevation behind which
the artist had to stand.
He was obviously and justifiably
disturbed. Freedom Of action is a
necessity to Chaliapin. Had he
taken one step forward he might
have been thrown ignominiously on
his regal nose out toward his ex-
pectant audience. So 1t had taken
the persuasion of a personal friend
Of Mr. Chaliapin to induce him to
sing at all.
Therefore no artist Of tempera.
nlent could be at his best. Chaliapin
! was not. Any play demands its
proper environment. With the
prices we pay for our concerts. an
artistic background in keeping with
the art he has to offer should be
assured. 1t may drive all future
concerts to our new auditorium
when it is completed.
OF his singing, we had two great
Russian opera arias, Aria of Sus.
sanin," from "A Life for the Tsar,a1
Of Glinl1a, and an aria; from the
Prince Igor" Of Borodin. one OF
Chaliapin's great roles. But how
could he throw himself into these
parts. accustomed as he is to the
beauty of the Russian stage?
His voice was not clear, was husky
with cold But over 1t all one
found the force of his amazing 'par.
lata." that speaking singing that
makes for dramatic intensity and
into which Chaliapin puts dramatic
values, the command of car, the
laugh of irony or or humor, the tears
of despair.
He can shade his voice off into
a far-reaching whisper that carries
emotion with 1t. But he gave little
more of his rich Russian. reportory,
singing the Grieg 'An Old Song.'i
Schubert's ''Serenade' with little
suavity and rather robustic us, Fle-
gier's hunting song, ''Le Cor" ard

One renigs about retelling a
plays story. 1t always ruins
the enjoyment Of prospective
box-office patrons. And it is
sufficient to say that the story
of Maverick" is really the
story of a girls regeneration
an act contaminated through
the influence of a dreamer,
who insists, by arduous labor,
that his air castles in Spain
become town houses on a boule-
ward built where once ruled the
burning sands.
Mr.. Whiteside-who gives n
corkingly effective performance
lis ably supported by a cast
of twenty-five, chief among the
players being Sidney Shields,
who essays the role of the girl
come into her spiritual own.
Miss Shields, a Whiteside aide
in "Mr. w." "The Hindoo"
and others Of recent date, is
deserving Of unstinted praise
Never once during the action of
Maverick" did she lapse from
character grievance which
can be laid at the feet of so
many Of our younger feminine
leading women. Throughout
the early scenes Of the john
son piece, Miss Shields estab-
lished a Characterization that
builded in natural and con-
vincing way. Mr.. Whiteside is
indeed fortunate in having so
capable and charming a sup
porter at his service.
Of the others, H. Paul Doucet
gave a finished reading Of Jean
Fautrelle, the pseudo French
count; Pauline Jennings had
several delightful moments as
the maid; and Howard Merling
brought to the "desert rat" the
right note of neurasthenia.
AS Maverick" now plays, /,
suggest that Mr.. Whiteside and
his cohorts eliminate about
thirty minutes of the decorative
action. Mr.. Sidman-always a
rare comedian-has a song that
might be dropped and some Of
the cabaret features have a
tendency toward impeding the
melodramatic route of the ac-
ton. Tied closer, and bound
tighter, Maverick" l am GER
tain, would maintain stronger
continuity and induce greater
interest.
It is interesting as it is, and
the desert background of the
play adds materially to the en-
ioyment derived.

'GAYETY BOASTS

BILL

While the BEST Show in Town"
may be rather an ambitious title
for the vehicle in which Branded
and Travers are featuring Frank
Hunter, it Is in many respects
one OF the best burlesque shows
Gayety fans have seen this sea-
son. Rich In comedy situations,
with two excellent comedians to
bring out all their possibilities, a
lot of straight and eccentric dane
ing, some good singing and q bevy
of goodlooking girls, the current
attraction measures up to the best
there is in this particular field Of
entertainment.
Frank Hunter needs no intro
duction to Washington burlesque
devotees. This versatile comedian
is equally at home in Italian and
black-face characters and his
quaint humor never failed to
bring forth abundant laughter.
His comedy scene with toy bal
looms was side-splitting. Walter
MeManus, a comedian Of the boob
type, won his share Of laughs.
The singing honors were cap
tured by Lydia Harris. Her
group OF songs, delightfully."- sung,
was the musical feature Of the
show. Rose Bernard and Nancy
Martin contributed songs and
dances. Inez de Verdier handled
her song numbers effectively.

cal possibilities Of the piano &C.

AS conditions in the three states
are tranquil, the conference really is
a celebration of the fourth year Of

In communiques issued after the
sessions the viewpoints of the three
ministers were found to harmonize.
They were glad to notice that the

signs of agreement, and hoped that
the year would bring a settlement of
reparations questions and further the

three ministers agreed to adopt a
common attitude in order to protect
their interests at the London confer
ence. They outlined their common
attitude toward the September ses-
sion of the League of Nations as re-
CARDS the questions of reduction of
armamentS and a mutual guaranty
treaty.
Four Years of Harmony.
The last communique issued said:
LAS the conference closes, four
years of fruitful cooperation can be
recorded as the result of loyal efforts
in common"
After the conference the three min
listers talked frankly regarding the
political situation. NJ. BeneS declared
the little entente" had not departed
from its purpose to work hand in
hand where common interests were
concerned. but to reserve liberty of
action where interests differ. Thus,
NJ. Benes said, he favored recognition
most favorable to the interests Of
Czechoslovakia. NJ. Benes also stated
that he is for entrance of Germany
into the League of Nations, provided
entrance means settlement of out
standing questions.

M. Nincic said frontier incidents
with Italy and Rumania had no polit-

NJ. Duca said Rumania did not ex-

certainly was not going to be intimi-
dated as regards Hungary. He said

NJ. Benes said the little entente"

a proof of which was found in the
fact that Czechoslovakia took part in
the Hungarian loan.
