goers are deeply interested in the
announced first local appearance of
Beniamino Gigli, leading tenor, and
Sigrid> Onegin, famous Swedish con-
tralto, both of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, according to a
statement today by Mrs. Wilson
Greene, local concert manager.
Mrs. Wilson Greene in her Ar
lists Course for this season, will
include Giglis performance atPoli's
next February, while the Philhar
monte Course will include Onegins
appearance next March.
Neither star has appeared pub
licly in the Capital before this sea-
son, although Onegin was originally
announced for performance last
winter, which had to be cancelled
owing to unusual demands on the
stars strength, while Gigli made a
private appearance here last Janu-
airy as soloist at the diplomatic din
ner at the White House. where he
made, according to reports, pro-
nounced triumph before the Presi-
dent, Mrs. Coolidge and their as
sembled diplomatic guests.
Following Caruso's death, Gigli
became the Metropolitans leading
tenor and has alternated his
operate appearances with concert
work. 1t is characteristic of Gigli's
recitaIs that he usually gives from
three to six excerpts from the
operas, thus affording concert au
diences a rare opportunity to hear
the voice that has already charmed
Manhattan in the lyric medium.

Belgian Hymn Sung
By Soprano Highly
Praised

A new soprano! That S always
an event.
Marguerite de Porry, a lyric
singer who owes her develSp-
nent to a Washington teacher,
Mrs. Edna Bishop Daniel, was
chosen to sing the Belgian ma
tional anthem, "La Braban-
conne," during the golden jubi-
lee" celebration of the ordina-
ton of the Reverend A. J. Van
Ingelgem, who is known as the
little patriarch of West Falls
Church, Father Van"
"You sang that like a Bel
Pian," was the praise given
Miss De Perry by the Belgian
charge d'affaires, Raoul Iimont,
who had pinned the "Order of
the Grown" on the venerable
pastor, the most coveted decoa-
tion within the gift of the King
of the Belgians.
"But / am French the little
lady had replied, for she is just
nineteen.
"Ah, that is almost as good.
We are friends, we are neigh

So, in this important event,
we watch the opening of
career.
May she reach her own golden
Jubilee with the same high serv-
ice and the same far-flung fame
as attends the name of him
whose native hymn she sang
with such a thrill and with such
fine fire Of youth!

To FEDERATE:
WORLD
Esther Linkins Brings Home
Message From Federation
of Music Clubs ConclaVe

Esther Linkins, president of the
| D. C.. Chapter of the National Fed
Grafton of Music Clubs, gave a fas.
cinating resume of the federation's
convention in Portland, Ore, last
summer at a meeting of the local
chapter at her home in Cleveland
Park last week.
~One might truly say that this
nationwide organization aims to
''federate the world" through
music!
1t was a significant point that
Mrs. Edgar Stillman Kelley, of Ok.
ford Ohio, was elected president to
succeed Mrs. Cecil Frankel, of Los
Angeles.
For Mrs. Kelley has been chair
man of the American music de-
partment," so she is. acquainted
with the extensive influence of the
music-club women (why were there
not music-club men, as well?) IN
forwarding the interest of creative
music at home. She is also the
wife of the American composer,
Edgar Stillman Kelley, SO she
knows many of the problems of the
| composer in America.
The inspiration of this gathering
was evident from Miss Linkins'
every word.
Join the Federation
She urges further music groups
to join the local federated clubs,
and thus to become a working fac
| tor-while remaining entirely indi.
vidual-with = this broad national
movement.
Forty-seven States were, repre-
scented, including the District of Co
| lumbia. In addition there were
| fourteen districts, with district
presidents from places far afield,
| that included the Philippines, Ha-
wall, with also nearer home officers
from the Great Lakes district, the
Rocky mountain district, the Alas
kan district and the like.
| The American opera premiere OF
THE Echo" by Frank Patterson
was the biggest feature of the con-
vention, with a cast containing
Marie Rappold, Marjorie Dodge,
Forrest Lamont and Lawrence TYbe
bett. Perhaps it will not write
great American music history!
One of the thrills was the sing
ing OF huge Sunday school
! chorus. That is something we
lcould and should emulate here.
Miss Linkins leaves one with
resolution to further the aims of
the National Federation of Music
! Clubs because in unity there is
strength and because life is made
more beautiful and better through
music.
! Ideas for Washington! Carry onl
