GRACE Ia MAR
DELIGHTS IN
RECITAL
Dramatic Singers Voice Is
Lovely Surprise-Minnie
Notz. Sparkling
By JESSIE MacRRIDE.

Grace Lamar. dramatic singer
with warm, rich range Of voice
such as made D'Alvarez famous,
was presented in an addition" by
the Washington Music Bureau last
evening in the second of the most
interesting "know your own artists"
recital series, given through the
courtesy of the McHugh & Law
son music shop, which is the official
home of the Washington Music
Bureau.
Grace LaMar's voice can best be
typified as a "Dalila" voice, a con-
tralto with the dramatic soprano
range, or the reverse. emphasizing
her surprising building up of climax
on climax that has a glow In her
upper register.
1t is this unusual surprise elo-
ment in this lovely voice that
should give her an individual repu-
tation in her concert world or in
the opera.
Intelligence, too, is here. 1t is
with real musicianship that Miss
Lamar, who has recently returned
from three years study in Italy,
sings the German lieder. Her
Strauss "Traum durch die DAM
merung" was a fine, rich legato
with the true musical cadence most
gratifyingly felt.
Pure information, style. and a
rich vocal organ, all belong to this
Young singer whose career at pres

MARIA PALEST|
At BEST IN
GREEK
Artistic Reveals Great Voice
and Charming Personality
at National
BY BLANCHE M. JOYCE.
"What'dye Think"

What dye think?"
"She has q powerful voice Of
much beauty and an unusual
charming personality, especially
when she sings in Greek" replied
Tom to my question about Nine.
Marcia Palesti, in concert, yester-
day afternoon, in the National
Theater.
I'D like to hear her with an or
chestra. or in grand opera" Such
words from Tom, whom, it is diff.
cult to drag to concerts and who
is reticent in his opinions on music,
is high praise, indeed.
But why does she persist in
singing in five languages. he
complained. Three is quite enough,
for she was at her best when sing
ing in Russian, Italian and Greek.
''Shoo, publicity stuff, my dear.
She's a new artist in this country,
and competing with the throng.
Must have something unusual to
announce to the world. That's her
stunt.
But. didn't you like the way she
sang Butterfly" and. "Tosca?" I
thought her notes were lovely and
true, and her dramatic. quality per-
feet
eyes, but she sang equally well
Mama, non Mama" "The Cry
Of Women" Christ ,Resurrected," "
white angel Like" and Fate"
20, Of course. you'd like those.
For she sang all but one in Greek. 2"
1 retorted. Personally, agreed
with him, but wouldn't tell him so.
He's SO upstage, sometimes.)
The varied program allowed the
artist to reveal an intelligent hand
ling Of a voice OF beauty and wide
range, to show her dramatic ability,
and to display a gracious and
charming personality.
The first numbers were Verdis
"Aria Ernani" <and Tschaikovsky
ARIA Tscharodeica." These were
followed by Gounod's ave Maria"
and Bizet's "Boheme," from Gar
men,"
The songs Mime. Palesti sang in
English were Caro- Roma's Under
the Leaves" C. Marshall's az Hear
You Calling Me-" and Today" as
an encore.
Michael Feveisky, conductor Of
Moscow Opera House, was an able
assistant at the piano. He played
Rachmaninoff piano solo, followed
by one OF his own compositions,
Prelude in e fiat, for an encore.
He was i'll, and did not play the
second number scheduled.
The concert was under the man
agement OF the International Lyric
Bureau.

Elk periences of Knoxville With a City Manage
Tennessee City Editor Says Plan !,
Excellent; That Government Is as
Efficient as Private Business
BY EDWARD j. MEEMAN
Editor, The knoxville NeHs.

TINE city manager form Of government has had !,
fair test in Knoxville and II has succeeded far h.
yond The fondes hopes Of its advocates
In a recent election Of members Of the Legislature On
the sole issue Of the city manager charter those cand
dates pledged not TO tamper with the charter wers
elected by landslide.
Elimination Of politics has brought efficiency and
high morale all down the line and today the city gov
ernment of Knoxville IL as efficient as most pryat
businesses.
The city manager government does not make for a
political machine if the wrong kind Of politicians are
kept out Of the city council And they can be kept out
If the people want them kept out just as Knoxville has
kept them out
Knoxville finds it unthnkable that Manager Louis
Brownow would play politics All of his appontmens
have been solely the fitness of the for the job
The city council did not know and did not desire TO
know what these appointments until they read The
city managers announcement in the newspapers But
in every case they have been entirely satisfied with The
the same manner that he selects his helpers.
Knoxville has found that, instead Of removing from
the people control of their government, the manager
plan brings il closer TO Them in practical affairs than
il ever has been.
The city manager and his helpers would not listen 70
any politician or special interest currying fayors
such would dare approach him, but the city manager
does have his to the ground constantly to find out
what the whole people want. And what the whole pee
pie want he has done, in a most satisfying way.
The city manager government is stronger with the
people than ever before. Practically no one in KNOX
vile is against except those politicians and grafte
who want the old trough back again.
