HOLDER ADDRESSES
VOTERS OF JACKSON
But One Issue In Campaign; Charges
Selfish Special
Interests

jefferson, Ga.-"There is but one
issue in this campaign-whether the
state shall be loaded down with a tre-
mendous bond issue-and my oppo-
nents have sought by every device of
the well-known cuttlefish to darken
and becloud this ISSUE" declared
John N. Holder, the leading candi-
date for governor, in his first and
perhaps only campaign speech, which
he delivered here Saturday afternoon
before a great crowd of citizens of
jefferson, Jackson county and north
east Georgia. ..
Mr.. Holder charged that selfish
special interests, which would reap
vast profits from state bond issue,
were behind the opposition to him.
His speech had "teeth" in it, was full
of "gum," and was regarded by his
hearers as a complete Knockout"
for his enemies and the bitter at
tacks which they daily launch against
him.
He declared that undr the law the
state highway board has 1856 miles of
additional state highway to allot and
that it will allot every mile Of it.
Says Macon Telegraph Editor Is
After Highway Post
He said that the intense activity
of the Macon Telegraph against him
is explained by the expectation of
the papers editor to be chairman of
the state highway board in the event
the Holder opposition is successful.
He said the present governor, who
had sought to oust him as chairman
of the state highway board, had since
endeavored to entice him from his
opposition to bonds by offering to
make him chairman of a bond COM
mission to spend $7O,OOO,OO0.
He said that his opponent from his
home county had offered to retain
him as chairman of the highway
board if he would not run for gov
ernor.
He declared he is running his own
race and is not allied with any other
candidate nor in combination with
any one.
He showed that the highway de-
partment had made almost phenom-
email progress since he became chair
man of the board.
He pointed out that beginning next
year there would be available $13,-
100000 year for highway purposes;
He announced his support of a pro-
gram of EDUCATIONAL expansion-both
| in the common schools and institu'
tions of higher learning.
Favors Strengthening Lave To Pro
tect Bank Depositors
He declared in favor of strength
ening the banking laws of the state
so as to give the greatest possible
measure of protection to the deposits
of the people.
He said he had not made any
promise of any office to any person
and would not make any such prom
Use. x
He announced his opposition to any
increase in taxation,
He declared he would not call any
extra session of the legislature unless
matters of gravest necessity required
immediate attention by that body
He said he would advocate the
elimination of all waste and dpulica-
ton in the states activities and
would advocate the economical hand
ling of all the states moneys.

|DALOsSI To Be
I THE MEDIA

Another milestone will be marked
in the career OF the Washington
Opera Company when they give d
special performance on April is in
honor of their director, jacques
Samassoud, the famous Russian con.
ductor.
1t is a custom in European cities
for opera companies to give each
season an extra performance as a
tribute to their conductor. In the
case of Mr.. Samassoud, it Is par
ticularly fitting that he should be
so honored, since it is through his
work with them the past few years
that our opera company has made
such rapid strides, and instead OF Q
venture has become an established
institution
Ellen Dalossy, Of the Metropolitan
Opera, the first selection to be made
by General Director Albion, will
sing the role OF Media In Pa.
gliacci.'
Miss Dalossy, one of the youngest
and most admired of the prima
donnas OF the Metropolitan Opera,
has created quite q sensation with
her confreres, Titta Ruffo and Giglis
in the great success Of the season,
"Cena dele Beffe. in her charac-
terization Of I1izabeta.
Not alone is she noted for the
beauty of her voice and histrionic
art, but the gods have endowed
her with a remarkable personality
added to her dark and radiant
beauty

NOVEL OPERAS
UNDER BOND

THE Washingtonians, under the
direction of Rollin Bond. announce
q series of operate novelties for
coming spring production. All are
standard works and all are new to
Washington.
The first of these, Audran's THE
Mascot" to be presented at Central
High. May 4, 5 and 6, is a light
opera score of unusual beauty. The
lfbretto has scenes laid at Piom-
bino. Italy, in the fifteenth century
and is exceedingly keen in its humor
and satire IF the period.
This work, containing more lovely
melodies than most light operas, is
seldom heard, owing to the unusual
ly heavy expense of it's elaborate
costume requirements and the diff
culties encountered by the demands
made upon the singing principals
as we'll as chorus and ballet. Par
ticularly are the leading tenor and
high baritone roles exceedingly diff
ficult to cast.
The versatile "Washingtonians''
have overcome these difficulties,
however. Director Bond points out
this is accomplished strictly
with Washingtonians-n imported
artists" Old-timers will hail with
delight the charming "Gobble, Cob
BILE, Gobble. Baa"' duet of Bettina,
keeper of the turkeys. and Pippo,
the shepherd.
other decided novelties now ready
for presentation by THE Washing
tonians," to follow the Mascot, are
"The Queens Awakening" a ballad
opera by Balfe, the composer of
THE Bohemian Girl" and Suppe's
"Pygmalion and Galatea." This
will mark the 58th presentation and
is the seventh season Of this COM
munity opera organization founded
by Rollin Bond in 1919.

The Washington times., 1926-04-05

The text OF the work is, OF course,
Biblical. 1t commences with the
twenty-sixth chapter of the Gospel
by ST. Matthew, but does not con-
clude the book. The last chapter is
omitted. so that only two are GOV
cred by the music.
As developed by Bach, there are
certain alterations to this text.
Particularly of note are the
chorales. which are included in
such a way as to make the dramatic
plan most ingenius yet very sim.
pie arrangement.
The story falls into a series Of
pictures. The presentation Is
usually divided into two parts, one
for afternoon and one for evening.
Since there will be but one session
here. certain cuts to the score have
been necessary. These cuts. how
ever, do not interfere with the
logical unfolding of the story.
Bible Scenes as Set to Music
The natural divisions into scenes
will be indicated in the program
by various headings, such as THE
Preparation. of the Passover, The
Last Supper Christ Before Pi-
late, !" THE Crown of Thorns and
ethere. -
The narrative parts of the score
will be sung by the tenor soloist,
usually called the evangelist. The
| words of Jesus are assigned to
the bass, while the baritone sings
The part of Judas, Peter, the high
priest and plate. The accompani-
nnent for the words of the evan.
gelist will be played on the piano.
| The words of Jesus are accom-
| panied by the string orchestra.
| This is done to set them apart
from the utterances Of the other
characters and seems to cast a
| halo upon them.
There are many striking features
in the Passion which should at
once attract the listener. The
Growing of the cock at Peters de-
| nial, the cry Of Barabbas in the
hall Of Pilate% the demand OF the
rabbie that the Saviour be crrIci-
fled, the contralto solo, mise
| rere," with violin accompaniment.
the soprano aria and recitative,
the soprano and contralto duet
which is interrupted by the shouts
Of the believer: the earthquake
and sublime finale, an idealized
slumber song.
A special favor has been accorded
local singers in that there has been
chosen choir of sopranos who
| will take part in the opening pro
logue, an antiphonal chorus of over
powering effect. The Bach Choir
will be divided into two sections
while this organization forms the
! third. When originally given by the
composer this work was done by
choir boys.
The text of the chorales, notes and
words will appear in the programs
| distributed to the audience.
There win be IL of these chorales
in the Passion as given here. AS
| each one is reached in the course
OF the>>drama the entire, gathering
rises and sings with the Bach Choir,
| the organ and the orchestra.

SING AS EASILY AS ONE
SPEAKS. SAYS LECTURER

Mrs. Robert Lawrence invited
number of guests last week to the
first OF a series of lecture lessons"
on voice cultivation and the funda-
mentals Of sight singing at her
her Thirteenth Street studio.
Mrs. Lawrence has a very pop
ular way Of proving that singing
is not the artificial art one is so
apt to believe and which is more
important to fear.
She makes singing a process as
natural as speech. and since speech.
20 be properly delivered, must be
right, so the singing, VOICE when
properly "put across" must by the
same token be correct. 1t is an
interesting approach and one which
IS quite individual.
