LILLIAN EVANTIS RECITAL.
Washingtoniau Renders Interesting
Numbers-GOeS to Nice Opera.

Lillian F.vanti. native Washing
tonian and first colored woman to re
ceive II contract to sing in French
opera at Nice, gave the last of
series of several concerts here before
returning abroad, at the Lincoln The
ater last night before an audience
which not only packed the house, but
listened attentively to- Il complete
professional program of classical cal
iber, even though, due to the house
rules the concert could not begin
until nearly 10 O'Clock.
This singer has a trained voice of
lyric soprano quality. 1t is not IA
large voice, but the singer has learn
ed we'll the art OF spinning her high
tones to give them roundneSs, and
her enunriation in the Italian and
French. as Well as English, Is clear
cut. Her opening group was the
usual old Italian, begun with the we'll
known Care Selve" ,of Handel, and
including that delightful Scarlatti
La N-iolette," both sung with ad
nirable leeato phraSing. The Bel
lini "Qui Ia Noce" was followed by
Home. Sweet Home" the singer ac-
companying herself at the piano.
The group OF negro spirituels. ar
ranged by II. T. Burleigh, was es
pecially interesting, with good dramatic
feeling expressed in the plaintive
Were You There" In the last group
of songs Richard Hageman's fine com
position. AT the Well" stood out as
the dominant song. The last number
was a combination of the prayer and
bell songs of Delibes' opera, "Lakme," :"
in which the singer made her operate
debut in Nice in March. Many of the
SingerS'S CadenZaS are ripping and
true, but frequently the approach 10
them is stilted and inclined to be me-
chanical. Such passages are, of course,
exceedingly artificial and require years
of practice for facile Interpretation.
Special mention should he made of
the excellent accompanying 1t the
piano by Paul Dikeman, who seems to
be a gifted musician.

ne hrSt concert of the sea son by
The hiadeiphia symphony Orchestra
Yesterday afternoon was a brilliant
achievement. both musicalIy and as a
gala spectacle. Probably never in the
history of orchestral performance in
washington has more charming
program been presented Works bv the
Master Bach, Mozart, Schubert, DebuS-
~ and Richard Strauss all emphasized
the artistic imagery that is muSic's
greatest possibility. The audience was
the largest that has heard that or
cheStra here. The entire first section of
the orchestra, all the boxes, and bal
cony of the Washington Auditorium
were filled to capacity. Even standing
room was sold. There were 1000 people
There, more than double the number
an former years. The management
showed wisdom in having the parti
tion UP on the lower floor and the en-
tire place thoroughly heated
An important factor of the festive
occasion was the playing of Olga Sam
aroff in the piano concerto-Mozart'
Concerto in a Major" The second
movement i'll andante tempo had some
particular soft passages that seemed
NelVetE in their musical texture and
Nine. Samarotf was also charming in
her Interpretation of the more spright-
ly passages of the last movement. This
pianist Is always the accomplished
technician and she seemed especially
happy in developing the decided moods
of the music i'll this work. Mr.. Sto-
kowSlli, with his usual skill, kept the
orchestra perfectly balanced with the
piano part, never sacrificing one to
the other. Both soloist and orchestra

\ beautiful choral prelude of ]. S
Bach's infrequently heard here 'Wir
Glauben all an einen Gott," arranged
from the composers organ transcript
ton for orchestra, was a fine opening
number. Schuberts richly meIodious
Unfinished Symphony" was an old
musical friend given especially happy
reintroduction. The audience again
accorded the orchestra an ovation.
Last year We heard Mr.. Kousse-
vitsky's fine Interpretation of De

Boston Orchestras playing of them
exquisite. So no adjective was left to

 Exchanges of views have taken place between Paris and Washing ton. We have gone no farther. We have no doubt, however, that when real negotiations begin our great American friends will give us such facilities for payment as we expect from them"
 M. Clementel also expressed the hope that similar just solution would be reached with Great Brit ain, and he thanked the British government for the cordiality of its last debt note and settlement pro- posal.
 "In spite of the enormous loans which France was obliged to con- tract because of the war;" the min ister continued, ''the country's wealth is such that all that is re- quired for France to carry to suc- cessful conclusion the work of finan- cial and economic restoration is the united will of all Frenchmen to work toward that end with the same strength, character and energy which they showed during the war"
