PONSELLE WINS
PRAISE HERE
BY JESSIE MacBRIDE
''As variable as the shade
BY the light quivering aspe



BY the light quivering aspen
made"
Not in the manner Of the poets
maiden, but in the infinite variety
of her dramatic expression and in
the rare beauty of her art, does the
memory of Rosa Ponselle's exquisite
singing, at the MayflOwer yesterday
forenoon, in Mrs. Lawrence Town
sends fourth musical morning" OF
the season, evoke the quoted lines.
Rosa Ponselle, Of the Metropoli-
tan Opera, and Jacques Th1baud
yiolinist of the French school OF
exquisite playing, were climax OF
Mrs. Townsend's concerts.
She is a superb dramatic soprano.
She ia also an exquisite artist who
can give an appeal to a lyric phrase
such as is seldom heard. Her in
donation is not only flawless, but
1t is amazing in her linking OF tore
quality to meaning.
No wonder Ponselle has been the
sensation of the New York Metro
poIftan Opera this season. Above
all. she undoubtedly loves to sing,
and she communicates that to her
audience.
Life, in its complete essence, comes
forth from her songs. whether light,
or in her appealing Lullaby" OF
Cyril Scott, or throbbing with the
passion and the pain of the great
"Suicidio" aria from Ponchiello's
"Gioconda."
She put into the Grieg Eros"
a something vital, something new
that epitoniZes her entire art, with
the heart element its dominant
feature. Cold and stark. like the
icebergs of the north, it opened up
into a glory Of voice, sure and pro-
found.
Then the lure of the woman sought
to capture this spirit in love tha-
swayed as gracefully as a huge
wave of the ocean might, round IN
it's rhythm, sparkling here ana
there before it Numbered to its rest.
The "Vissj d'arte" from 'Tosca'
was one of her encores.

the Brahms Hochstein WALTZ" that
he had to repeat it. But Of all his

gaging and filled with the most
spectacular virtuosity Of harmonies
of exquisite purity, and a deep

Memorable is the breadth and
lovely tone of the cadenza to the

PLANS Hit
WORLD
COURT

BY WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON
While the prospect of an early
decision on American adherence to
the World Court was slowly dis
appearing, two. new issues were
raised today to worry leaders of
the Administration Democratic
coalition favoring the Court.
The twin specters became ap-
parent as a result of the reser-
walton, offered by Senator Overman
CD of North Carolina, a strong
League Of Nations advocate, to
make American adherence condi-:
toned on the understanding that
certain domestic problems could
not be submitted to the Court
without the consent of the United
States.
Aimed at Old Bonds
Overman said today that the
reservation was aimed to prevent
British bond holders from ever sub
uniting to the World Court their
claims for some $500, O09. 900 worth
of Confederate and "reconstruc-
ton" bonds, repudiated by Southern
States after the close of the civil
war.
A move to force this question
before the World Court, Overnan
said, had been initiated by some
British newspapers.
Senators Walsh Cd of Montana
and Senator Pepper (R.) of Penn
sylvania also will shortly offer new
reservations to prevent these ques-
tons ever bein submitted to the
court.
The move toward new reserva
lions on the part of friends of the
court caused great joy in the little
''irreconcilabie' camp.
The immigration problem, which
was one cause for alarm among
the court adherents, was raised by
q flood of appeals from organized
labor and Ku KluX Klan Klaverns,
protesting against going into the
kcourt as long as the question of
admitting aliens to the United
States" could be determined by the
tribunal
Friends of the court argued that
the question never could be sub
United to the court. but the labor
ties and Khan members demanded
that is be specifically reserved from
the courts consideration.
The question of Indebtedness Of
the Southern States" was Of far
more solemn magnitude.
One anti-court spokesman revealed
that the London Corporation of
bondholders issued a report a few
months ago, containing this state.

thus:
1.-The spirit of freedom and
Democracy which allows youth
to have it's fling and resents

machine, a political tool.
THE frontier tradition that it
