the concert stage, and a charming in
dividual. He it was who encouraged
Gerard Hekking, famous cellist, with
a great following on the continent, to
come to America. and Mr.. Kinder is
arranging a concert tour for his
friend.
The musical feature of the evening
was the short cello program played
by Mr.. Hekking, accompanied by Mr..
Balaban. Short in stature as his
friend Mengelberg, with artistically
long black hair and dreamy eyes Of
a velvet blackness, Mr.. Hekking sat
before his instrument and drew magic
with every touch of his bow. He
played Sammartinrs "Sonate," Ari
estis "Adagio," '.Andante" and Ron
do" by Boccherini; Lalo's 'Intermez-
20" Schumann's "Abendlied," Faures
''Papillons,'' and, as encores, Josef
Boulnois Hymn to Bacchus" and
Peppers "Tarantelle." Mr.. Hekking
has individuality of rich, mellow tone
entire lack of harshness, and a mar
velous' sense of Interpretation. His
technique seems perfect. Moreover
he has a wonderful sense of humor,
an asset that many musicians seem 10
lack or subdue. After the program
Mr.. Hekking confided. with a demure
smile, that he played the Hymn to
Bacchus' because he felt like it,"

Dorothy Jardon Advises.

DOROTHY JARDON, soprano OF the
- Chicago Opera Co, who appears
here in vaudeville this week, has a
word of unusually candid advice for
the American girl who aspires to be
a prima donna.
lean and achieve outstanding succe SIS
in grand opera" says Miss Jardon.
But 1t is by no means easy.
Here is the safest formula to fol-
low: First, get together as much
money as possible. OF course, we
are assuming that you have a really
big voice and sufficient physical
strength to stand this most strenuous
OF careers. Then come to New York
and search diligently for a real
teacher. Bear in mind that New York
is the gathering place of quacks and
sharps of all nations, who prey upon
innocent. trusting youth. Find a
teacher whose results justify his
prices. Then go to work.
while you are studying voice 20
and live in the home of some italian
family, who will probably board you
much cheaper than you could live In
any hotel or boarding house-and
give you real italian accent Do
the same with a French family. Thus
your ability.t to sing In the language
OF the operas will keep pace with your
vocal training.
This may take several years.
When your coach is convinced that
you are ready for the big step. buy A
ticket and sail for Europe. This is
essential Europe is full of opera
houses and of opera-loving people.
Your chances of making a successful
debut over there are far greater than
here.
when you have acquired a Euro
pean reputation return to this coun-
try. for you will have found the open
sesame to the American public"

The opera, "oberon," or 'The Elf
Kings Oath" from which the first
part of the program Is taken, was
composed between 1924 and 1925, and
had its premiere in Covent Garden,
London, on April II of the latter year
The overture begins with the sound
of Oberon's magic horn softly sum-
moning fairy retinue. A lovely pas
sage of fairy music follows, and then
a. sudden fortissimo chord seems to
rout the elves, who vanish, leaving the
stage to mortals and the orchestra to
more robust IL not less charming themes.
The allegro opens with a brilliant
passage from the quartet, "Over the
Dark Blue Waters" which is followed
by the melody Of Sir Huon's love song
given out by the clarinet. The over
ture ends with a. spirited passage
from Reiza's air, Ocean. Thou
Mighty Monster"
With reference to the second part
of the program, it is interesting to
recall that Wagners overture and
bacchanale from "Tannhauser'' were
composed when the opera was 16

the composer was at the height Of
his power. How this incompatible
piece Of ballet music was added to
the score of the opera for the Paris
premiere, in the vain hope of placat-
ing the notorious Jockey Club cabal

all good Wagnerites will readily for
give the Jockey Club its sins out of
gratitude for the gorgeous pages
whose creation we owe to it, The
Pc performance of these two portions of
/ the opera "Tannhauser" is of par
ticular interest, inasmuch as it pre-
sents the genius of Wagner in two
quite different stages of its develop

/ Washingtonians who have had the
opportunity Of hearing the entire
opera this season.
Berlioz's Symphonic Fantastioue''
was composed in 1928 while Rerlioz
was still student at the Paris Con-
servatoire. He is said to have derived
his inspiration partly from Goethe's
