SONGS CHARM
BY JESSIE MacBRTDE

It is not often that the music
OF Greece comes to us Particularly
Is the art song" OF the land of
heroic sculpture novelty on an
, American concert program.
Last evening Washington had the
pleasure of hearing a true inter.
prefer of songs in Mime. Maria
Coromilas -Stratos, dramatic soprano,
who gave her first American recital,
believe, with the Greek Minister
and Nine. Simopoulos among her
interested hearers.
Foremost, in novelty, in this pro.
gram we're the songs of Sanara,
leading composer Of Greece Of today.
He is a modernist, as shown in his
accompaniments, and his songs are
both dramatic and tender.
There was a Mother and Son"
and My Oath, = and further down
the program one of Samara's songs
{ Thee Gin at the Well.' dedicated
to this Artist. who is favorite
of Greece's musical salons.
Nine. Stratos' voice Is mezzo
in warmth of tone, with wide
range that takes her Mnto the dra-
matte soprano realm. 1t is the
taste, the color in her singing, and
the dramatic imagination that came
through in the language that we
may be forgiven for not following
Also. in her slrave bits there was
d caressing tenderness that was
most appealing8 / would say that
she adofns her homeland art songs
as, say, a Gerhardt would the Ger
man lieder.
In French Nine Stratos gave the
Gretchaninov "Triste est lie Steppe
and Saint Saens La Cloche, in
compelling effect. Her German of
the Bohm Still vie die Nacht was
something light in quality though
here. too was a nice legato.
But returning to her personal con
tribution, the Greek folk songs
brought us something rich and sig
nificant. The Eagle Of Olympus,
with its rare accompaniment. was
as stark and descriptive as Nc
DoweIps "The Eagle. " emily here,
instead Of the big swoop, one feels.
there was the wind. open spaces.
and an almost yodeling refrain.
.sThe Shepherdess was as blitheI
as French .bergerette, with dis
tinctixe melody. and an unusual
rhythm that seemed strongly ac-
cented two-four. rather than a four
time beat.
In English, that earolled charm

And in this recffalist there came

well as an artist who will contri |
butte something new TO the music /.

AOI -
The most important problems fac
ing this two.day session OF the Park
and Planning Commission were left
untouched. however, at the first ses-
sion today. All of the morning was
devoted to the discussion of six
changes in the highway plan o. the
District which were recently con-
sidered at a public hearing in the.
District Building.
The biggest Of these highway
changes is the proposal to widen
Conduit Road to 120 feet from
Georgetown to the District Line.
The commission will inspect this
site this afternoon, and. therefore,
took no definite action this morning.
The proposal to widen Blair Road
Northwest, from Underwood to
Peabody Streets to a width Of 80
feet, which was the only change
objected to at the public hearing,
was approved by the Commission
with certain changes to meet the
objections of adjacent property
owners.
The commission received two re-
ports from the co-ordinating COM
mittee on the market and bathing
pool questions. Neither of these re-

bacher.s of the Eleventh precinct.
has been found guilty by the trial
board of having criminally assaulted
Mrs. Jessie l.. Lilly on June 10 in
patch of woods bordering Good
Hope Road northeast.
The board recommended today
that Dorrenbacher be dismissed from

The recommendation comes in tine
face of the action of the Grand

against the policeman. 1t alleged
that he forced the woman 20
descend from an automobile parked

n. E.. and made her accompany
him into a nearby wood.
The charged further alleged that
while in the woods he forced Mrs.
Lilly to accede to his demands be-
fore he allowed her to return to the
automobile.
Made Excellent Witness"
Mrs. Lilly made an excellent
Witness according to public Off
ciais present al the trial.
The first specification, that of
neglect OF duty in failing to arrest
Mrs. Lilly on charge Of disorderiy
conduct for using profane language,
was dismissed.
For some reason, DOrrenbacher
testified that the woman used pro
fame language. after which he ad
mitted he did not place her under
arrest Both Mrs. Lilly and Foster
denied that profanity had been used.
Attorney Rertram Emerson, Dor
renbacher's counsel, pleaded for
dismissal OF the first specification.
but did not argue before the board
for dismissal of the assault charge

1t is understood that Emerson
will file notice Of an appeal from
the decision before the end Of the
five-day period allowed for such
action. He will be given ten days
additional in which to file his ap.
peal in writing.
Dorrenbachcr's case is one Of the
first of it's kind. wherein the
charges. first aired before the grand
jury. were thrown out and later
