Al thunder Of applause after the
very first aria! It was Gigli, much
heralded tenor OF the Metropolitan
Opera, whose beautiful voice was
heard In washington for the first
time yesterday afternoon ct Polls.
And the. unusual happened again.
when this famed Italian responded
to the real uproar and followed the

singing of la donna mobile

Two opera arias at the very

afternoon became series Of tri-

the voice Is stilled.
There were three italian songs,
the first OF Dohnaudy that was
simply perfect in its legato and its
exquisite floating pianissifno. Who
can 50 capture a refrain as an
Italian! The second held a lovely
'fVieni, vieni'' refrain that scared

Lisa Roma Uneven in Art
Lisa Roma, soprano, did some
astonishingly good things for a
singer who did such surprisingly
bad things. Her ScarIatti-perhaps
she was frightened-was all tremolo,

which was bad beginning. But
