TRAVELLERS AID GIVES
3,544 PERSONS HELP
More Than 10000 Benefited by
Service at Rail Terminals
or Entering Ports.

Notable work in benefiting travel
ers into and through Washington was
accomplished by the Travellers Aid
Society during 1924. when the society
assisted 3,544 persons. and more than
10000 persons were benefited by Its
service. Failure Of travellers to fine
relatives and friends are among the
many problems presented for settle
ment by the society, which also takes
care of children travelling alone.
Commissioner General OF Immigra-
tion Husband has commended the work
of the Travellers Aid Society. Re-
garding the cooperation between the
society and the immigration bureau,
he says: "The United States Immi.
grafton Service feels that this piece
Of practical cooperation between the
Government and the private organiza-
ton Of the Travellers Aid workers has
been great contribution to the young
women who have come to the United
States alone, and also to the various
communities in which they have set
tied. The arrangement means that
safety and happiness are made possi-
BILE where otherwise there would be
grave danger"
The society has been particularly ef-
fective in this class of work through
out 1924. During the last month 80
immigrants received the help of the
society at the Union Station.

GREEK PRIMA DONNA
PLEASES IN RECITAL
Marica Palesti Displays Soprano
Quality of High 0rder-Youthful
Violinist Also Scores.

Marica Palesti, Greek soprano, who
was prima donna of the Moscow Opera
House, with which she was associ-
ated for IA years, and Nickos Cam
bourakis, '14-year- violinist, ap-
peared in an unusual recital at the
Masonic Auditorium last night.
Michale Feveisky, formerly conductor
of the Moscow Opera Company and a
pupil of Rimsky- korsakoff, was a re-
markably fine accompanist for the So
loists. The program was Of profess
sional caliber and was presented with
artistry. 1t merited al arger audience.
Nine. Palestis voice Is of distinctly
operate timber. Her enunciation.
especially in Italian and French, is
excellent. She sang in six languages,
including also Russian, Ukrainian,
English and Greek. The audience
showed high appreciation of her
Greek numbers, which included an
aria from "Tosca": "Mama non Mama, -
by Mascagni; Fate" and "A Truth, "
both by Lontos, and "A Foolish Song"
by Triantaphillou.
Rich power of tone and dramatic
shading were more noticeable, how
ever, in the Aria Di Gioconda," by
Ponchielli: an aria in Russian from
Tschaikowsky's Dame de Pique" and
"Un Del Dr. from Puccinrs But
terfiy." The Gypsy song from Car
men and Heriodiade's air from "Sa-
lone" also were given vivid interpre-
tation. The "Ukrainian Song was in
teresting. Marshalrs II Hear You
Calling Me" was the only number in
English. ~ -.
Master Cambourakis showed great
skill in bowling. The technicalities
of double e-stopping and the playing &
of smooth arpeggios seemed easy un-
der his facile fingers. His tone is
full of resonance. His opening num-
Der was the difficult second concerto
of Wieniawski. In the romance he
showed good shading of tone and
the finale, "A Ia Zingara," was full
of color. In Auer's arrangements of
Tschaikowsky's Air de Lensky" and
Peppers Spinning Song plaintive
melody and the sustaining Of difficult
tempo were emphasized.
Levenson's Dance Orientale" was
given interesting Interpretation, while
Ries' test of virtuosity, ''Perpetuum
Mobile" was played with brilliance
and at a remarkably swift tempo.
Perhaps the gem of the evening was
Sarasate's Gypsy Airs" played with
exquisite shading of tone and mood.
Auer's Hebrew melody, "Ahron," was
a colorful encore. Undoubtedly this
youth is gifted. When maturity
brings more emotional warmth to his
playing the young, artist may make
an important place for himself among
musical personages.
