sented Easter Monday, April 13, by
the Washington Opera Company. The
contrast between his ''Mephisto'' in
Faust" January &c. his Boris" with
the Chicago opera and this comedy
role will give three interesting
phases of his marvellous art.

da inty little Italian singer, who made
her debut with the Chicago opera two
seasons ago, and has won acclaim
throughout the west, will be heard in

Hugo Becker in Berlin and later In

musical with LIE Roy Lewis, baritone,
and Margaret Ascherfeld, Baltimore
pianist. at Studio Hall Miss Day
seems TO have unusually clean-cut
technique and rich. vibrant tone. She
draws her bow with a rhythmic
sureness that is fascinating. Her
numbers included a quaint 'Minuet-
to-" by her teacher: the pretentious
Sonata for Cello" by Eccles, which
has particularly melodious courante
and sarabande movements; "Canta-
bile" by Cui, and Peppers brilliant
Tara ntelle." She also played an
original obligato for Tschaikowskfs s
"Nur. yer die Sehnsucht kennt."
which Mr.. Lewis sang with excel
lent German lieder style and enun-
citation.
The vocal feature was "Se Tn Bell
Ardire," an aria from "Enzio," a
Handel opera that is little known
today and was composed at the same
time as ~Poro,' "Sosarme" and "Or-
lando" for the second Academy of Mu-
sic Society in London. Mr.. Lewis tone
coloring of this work was interesting e.
His enunciation of the English words
in his group of shorter compositions
was admirable. "The Moorland's Fair
Are Dreaming" by Won Fielitz, was
especially delightful.
In addition to acting as a. fine ac-
companist, Miss Ascherfeld showed
skillful command of piano technique
in four numbers, which included her
own arrangement of a Mozart Min
uet,' Saint-Saens' arrangement of
Bach's overture to the "28th Church
Cantata," Paderewskps Chant du
Voyageur," played in the manner of
the composer, and 'Liebeswalzer," by
