RUB|NSTE|N CLUB
/. SCORES IN CHORUS
Werrenrath Is Guest Artist
! on Program of Washing
ton Women.

The Rubinstein Club of Washington
women is a choral organization of
great possibilities. Last night, when
they sang another of the usual type
of program at the Willard, they in
spired speculation as to what they
could do toward furthering the inter-
csts of American composers of large
choral works by presenting works
like Harriet Wares "Undine" and
some of Mrs. Beach's longer and more
serious choral works, as we'll as many
by leading American man composers
The two pretentious numbers of
the program were Rubinstein's s
Wanderers Evening Song" sung
especially we'll, and Frederick Stew
enson's "Viennese Serenade, with
violin and cello obbligatos and bari
tone solo work by Reinald Werren-
rath, the guest artist of the evening.
In the former and in Pleading" by
Kramer, the chorus achieved some
interesting pianisSimo work, and
Claude Robson, director, brought the
chorus to a fine cresendo in the quaint
little song of Mrs. Beachs "Wouldn t
That Be Queer" "Snowfiakes,' writ
ten by ErI Beatty, accompanist for
Kathryn Meisle al two appearances
with the club; Far Ava" and
"Shena Van," both earlier works by
Mrs Beach, were interesting light
numbers, but seemed more worthy OF
a high school club than an adult or
Eanization of the ability of these
women, many of whom are soloists
with other musical organizations and
churches in the city.
The Bliss arrangement of the vlrlle
"yolga Boatmen's Song" was a dainty,
ladylike version entirely out of the
mood of the song and its inspiration.
Mr.. Warrenrath seemed in increas-
ingly good voice during the evening.
This genial young American baritone
is a great favortte with local audi
ences. He is especially popular for
his artistic singing OF what might be
called John Mccormack songs"
Among his best numbers last night
were the old Irish would God 1
Were the Apple Blossom" (encore to
his first group of German lieder),
"Oh. It's Quiet Down Here" and the
entire last group, including F1etcher's
The Great Adventure" such old
favorites as "Duna," "On the Road to
Mandalay," ''Smilin' Through" by
Arthur Penn, and "Homing," by Del
Riego. The aforementioned was sung
to the club. Lone Dog" by Rupert
Erlebach, is a new and interesting
song. Mr.. Werrenrath filled it with
dramatic coloring. 1t should be
favorite soon on baritone programs.
OF the songs In German. Griegs 'Lauf
der Welt was artistically sung. The
aria was the well-known "Credo"
from Verdrs 'Othello," which MIR.
WarTenrath seemed to feel needed a
short Interpretation in English before
he sang IT.
Herbert Carrlck accompanied Mr..
Werrenrath: Pauline knoeller and
Mrs. Howard Blandy played for the
club; Elsie Raner, violinist, and Mabel
Duncan, cellist. gave string obbligatos
IN the last number. The ballroom
was filled with an enthusiastic
audience.
