used Lenore" overture of
Beethoven, scenes from Wagner's

including also the lifting blue
Danube Waltz" of Johann Strauss.
But more truly National, as
Americans. they became, by using
Vice President Dawes Melody in

the Insight it gives and for the
hint as to it's band arrangement.
They say:
TT is refreshing to find among
our officials high in authority, one
who at all times has been a patron
and lover of music and one who
has found time during a busy life
to compose many delightful num-
bers.
I'm the Melody in A major, !"
Familiarity known as the Dawes
Melody" we have a pleasing con-
certed piece in 6.8 time, somewhat
in the form of a 'Barcarolle.' A
skff1ful and pleasing interlude with
a figure scored for two oboes,
embellished with a sustained trill
in the flute, repeated by two saxo-
phones and the sustained trill taken
by the solo clarinet with this
instrument playing a running
cadenza. joins the second and last
sections.
''At the close the solo flute plays
characteristic figure, gradually
dying away to the end, supported
by open chords in the accompani-
ment and an organ point in the
bass"

the typical jazz drummer will play
an important part in the develop

that saxophones will be used in the
new American opera, "A Light From

If we are going to have any

have to catch the tempo Of Ameri-

HOW A SENATOR
HELPED A
STAR
Mrs. ToWnsend's Bringing of
Tibbetts, of Met" Recalls
PheIan's Aid

Mrs. Lawrence Townsend brings
news from New York of the pro.
auction at the Metropolitan Opera
OF Spontini's opera, .'VestaIe, .
which she calls another "OrDheus,"
in fact, this composer is called the
Italian Gluck.
1t is interesting to learn of the
return to pure music, and that the
beautiful singing and the melodipus
score won appreciation, with Rosa
Ponselle and Edward Johnson in
the leading roles.
Mrs. Townsend opens her "Musi-
cal Mornings this year, at the
Mayflower on December 8, with
Kochanski, violinist, and Lawrence
Tibbetts, young baritone Of the
Met" in joint recital.
It was thanks to Senator Phelan
that Tibbetts was heard IN San
Francisco as the youth who. has
conquered the audiences Of the
Metropolitan.
'Tibbetts gave US program for
the gods" wrote Redfern Mason in
the San Francisco Examiner. He
grappled with the numbers by
which people judge the gerat sing
ers, songs like 'In WondarschOnen
Monat Mai and the tSapphic Ode
of Brahms. Handles Hear Me, the
prologue from Pagliacci, Nous
sorgslzy songs beloved of ChaIiapin,
and delicately lyric things like

Eyes and Believe Me IL All Those

Here was young man with
baritone that never suggested the
impenitent tenor, an organ rich,
flexible and capable OF suggesting
the subtlest nuances OF feeling He
rejoices in his youth: he Is eager,
sympathetic: he sings as il he were,
telling his own adventures in the
realm Of sentiment and passion"
Such praise is not alone cause for
rejoicing, but it points out the
deeper things that go into the max
ing of true artist and without
which no singer, or instrumentalist /.
may reach the zenith.
Mrs. Townsend went to New York
to hear Elizabeth Rethbarg in re-
cita1, and also Marie Muller, So
prano, with young Laubenthnl,
tenor. the two last to be her next
artists on December 16, in her
series of five ''intime" recitals given
in the forenoons.
AS patron of art. Mrs, Townsend
has long added to Washington's in
terest in the younger artists. She
maintains her outlook now, in
choosing as her musical morning
artists the new names that are just
rising over the horizon Of fame and
musicianship.

ELMAN
Peer Even of His Own Past
Prowess in WiIson-Greene
Evening Concert
By JESSIE MacBRIDE

Mischa Elman quite surpassed his
own achievement of the past by his
exquisite violinistic playing on Sat
urday evening, at the Washington
Auditorium. in the series Of Wilson.
Greene evening concerts. It is, in
truth. metamcphorized Elman who
comes to US now, an artist who has
left his early temperamental abau-
don and who has so polished his art
that it is as purely drawn by his
bow as a finely chiseled cameo in
warm ivory.
He has, in fact, become the class
icist And with that fine artist
Josef Bonime at the piano, the re.
cital was a thing Of beauty in tone.
There was the Handel Sonata, =
major, with as rare a Largo" as
could be imagined, coming as it did
like a sigh in its delicate pathos.
giving out rich churchly tones. And
he played the Bach "Partita"
in B minor, that lmasterful un.
accompanied work, putting into 1t
an elevation1of pure music that was
filled one with wonder. Then he
took some of the passages with a
freedom in tempo that made them
most eloquent. To play Bach so
interestingly is a token of both Inn
agination and musicianship.
The Lure Of AndaIusia
Seldom or never has one heard
the Saint-Saens Concerto" A major
a thing Of Andalusia in its lure, q
touch of the opera in its soaring
aria that Elman made sing on his
violin with virtuoso skill. Above
undulating waves OF tones the aria
sounded its pure, exquisite tones.
There were dominant oft-repeated
phrases that took on many shades
Of color meath the players bow, or
he rose to romance hours carolling
forth his trills like a night lark,
pure, ethereal.
There was a fascinating rhythm
in this Saint Saens work, it held
always in "threes," though the time
was, it seemed, twelve-eight. The
accent that kept the four-beat meas
ure so alive made these triplets
most engaging. 1t gave too, an
element Of expectancy that was cap.
tivating.
Mr. Elman's final group was a
lovely Eugen Ysaye "Berceuse" that
came ike InuSLC pldySu fCAle1lIpOiG
and that was in the ultar modern
vein, resolving at the close into pure
Debussy of the moonlit meadows.
He also played a Grasse staccat0
bit that was effective, and the old
italian meI6dious II Palpiti" OF
Pagnini that is filled with virtues.

Elman) as grotesque as the March
of the Wooden Soldiers and held
finely in folk spirit.
But over all remains the. memory
Of the quality OF Mischa Elman'S
tone, its purity, It's translucent color.
1t was exquisite playing.
