Another Atwater Kent hour has
passed and again radio fans and
music lovers have listened to the
best in music. AS on the three
preceding Sundays, the artists
last night were Of the very high,
est ability and Their programs
well selected.
Olga Samaroff is one Of the
greatest living women pianists
and her selections last night dis
played to the full both her bril-
lance and sympathy.
Her rendition of Chopin's Noe
turne in T sharp major and
"Liebestraum" by List was a
wonderful revelation of feeling
and a perfection of touch rarely
heard. Her technique throughout
was faultless, and her program
seemed far too short.
Our chief regret, however, was
that only one Beethoven was in
cluded. Nine. Samaroff is con-
sidered one Of the greatest inter
prefers of this master and one or
two more selections by him would
have delighted the listeners-in
His march from Ruins OF
Athens was brilliant and wonder
fully executed, but very short.
MAY Peterson is a distinguished
lyric soprano but during the first
part of her program her voice
failed to come over in its full
tonal quality. Her last group, a
selection of folk songs, however,
was most enjoyable, and her
artistic Interpretation of Garry
Me Back to Old Virginny" and
From the Land OF the Sky Blue
Waters will long be remember
ed. Her encope, MY Old Ken
lucky Home" too, was sung with
feeling and great sweetness.
Miss Peterson made several an
nouncements herself and has a
very pleasant speaking voice.
Her accompanies was Mr..
Charles Tushette and he was ex-
cellent.
The Capitol Theater put on
an exceptionally good birthday
program including practically all
of the gang. Julia Glass played
the blue Danube" waltz most
beautifully in honor of the
Johann Strauss centennial, and the
orchestra gave several other OF
his compositions.
Crandall's Saturday Nighters
put on their program in their
usual high-cIass style. The double
male quartette of the George
Washington University Glee Club
were at their best. The singing
of Deep River" and Far Away
in the South" gave a good idea
Of their ability. Gertrude Kreisel-
man, jazz pianist, played very
we'll, but when it was announced
that she and Otto F. Beck would
play a piano and organ duet our
hearts sank. The combination OF
The two instruments, however,
was quite good.
Dorothy Wilson Halbach, one
of the regular Saturday Nighters,
showed up TO great advantage
both at the studio and at the
theater. Her selection "At Dawn
ing" was one of the real treats OF
the evening.
lie Paradis band should stick
to dance numbers, which are
their spec atty. The song, Just q.
Sailors Sweetheart" .letrated
from their program Saturday
night.

ing and irresistible invitations we
ever got was one to dear old
Arlington county. 1t was given
to us by a dusty man on a mo-
torcycle who wore goggles, q
badge, a gun and a sneer. We
went.
Those A. and p. gypsies. and
that saccharine hymn, MY Little
Gypsy Sweetheart" have a stir
ring effect on our pedal extremi,
ties. A-gypsying we would go
these fall days, we opine, but
adjoining we'd want to come these
fall nights. Murray for our
