The Elixir of Love to Be
Sung Thursday Afternoon

The story Of the opera tells OF Adina,
charming young girl, beloved by
'Nemorino, but apparently Indifferent
to him. He buys q bottle of the love
elixir from q DIR. Dulcamara and
becomes oblivious OF Adina's exist
ence She is offended and becomes en-
gagged TO marry Sergt. Beicore, a sol
dier. Then her peasant love In turn
becomes alarmed. He goes to buy Il
second bottle of the elixir" but the
crafty patent medicine man insists on
payment first. So Nemorino enlists as
soldier to get sufficient money. He
Is ignorant Of the fact that his uncle
has Just died and left him consider
able money. but the village knoJs OF
1t and he is besieged with the atten-
tions of peasant gold diggers. Adina
realizes that she does not want to lose
Nemorino after all, and she pays the
necessary amount to get him out Of
the army again and all ends happily.
The role of Nemorino was a favor
ite with Enrico Caruso and was one
of his greatest successes. Melba, Sem
brich and F'rieda Hempel have all es-
sayed fascinating interpretations Of
the fiirtatious Adina.

George Gershwin S Debut

ford Washington opportunity to
witness the elevation to the musical
purple of George Gershwin, the bril-
liant young genius who left off the
composition of such ultra-popular
hits" as "Swanee." "a Stairway to
Paradise" and DO 1t Again" to
evolve his revolutionary symphonic
treatment of a jazz theme that the
world now knows as Rhapsody In
Blue"
This ingenious work Tor piano and
orchestra was the first composition
of its kind ever heard in America. or
elsewhere, for that matter. and it not
only lifted GershWin into prominence
as one OF a small band Of composers
who We're frankly experimenting in
American music" but the work itself
was given unusual critical attention
as a signboard that pointed the direc
ton in which American popular music
may proceed to more fertile pastures.

not only composed remarkable op-

There Is one huge stone and a tree

q remarkable resemblance to that

pains have been taken in this natural
woodland to train the little creeks
where they should go to make two
little fish ponds and generally add
the necessary trills to the finale mo-

WASHINGTON has a violinist in
her musical midst who Is a mu-
sician Of wide knowledge and ability.
Josef Kaspar. leader here for many
years in musical endeavors. Mr..
Kaspar has not contented himself
with sincere efforts Of this sort in
the Capital. but also has established
a unique natural symphony" at his
country home in the beautiful noun
tains Of Bluemont that look over the
Shenandoah Valley on one side and
the Loudon Valley on the other. Here,
on his own special mountain. Mr..
Kaspar has labored for the better
part of twenty years, taking the stones
from the fields. making huge walls ten
feet wide, and experimenting with
one kind of tree life after another
to find trees sturdy enough to with
stand the rigors Of life on such land.
After a long, winding climb In an
auto, one enters the allegro" move
ment of Mr.. kaspar's symphony
through a generous. wide gate. Here
are the cathedral spires of towering
frs and pines. In every spot where
there is a lovely view the visitor can
rest on a little wooden "pig" and en-.
joy the scenes. And there are many
such.
AT the lower edge of the pine grove
lies the change into the "andante"
movement of the symphony-the do
mestica," where the simple home lies
huddled In the lap of the hill with
gay splatches of flowers encircling it
and colorful fruit in the vegetable
garden near the barns where the
cows and horses are housed. The
keynote Of the andante movement is
set by the song of the little spring
that ripples in coloratura cadenzas
over the stones and under vine-en-
broidered rocks. 1t is a very real
ceremony that is observed before each
meal when the family and guests
meet at the spring for a drink. Just
