CLAUDIA MUZIO.

Claudia Mu1o. one of the most
charming Of Italian opera singers. a
prina donna with the Chicago Opera
Co. and formerly with the Metropoli
tan Opera CO., gave song recital in
Washington yesterday afternoon be-
fore an unusually appreciative audi
ence. According to available rec
ords, 1t has been nine years since this
singer appeared here in formal. pro-
fessional recital. She has a beautiful
voice of undoubted operatic timber,
marvellous control over pianissimO
tones In the exquisite, rounded high
notes In her voice, obvious ease and
polish in all the tricks of the trade"
and charm of personality when she
chooses to show (which came
through, oddly enough, more fire.

seems to be a lack of covered tones"

In all else, and her program yesterday
was real joy.
The opening number was Veracini's

cert In Washington before an audience
that filed the large auditoriun at
Central HighN School last night.
To those who heard this choir last
year there was no surprise. only deep
enjoyment, in the marvellous accuracy
in pitch, portamentos in pianissimo
tones and hun1ming effects, rich organ
notes in the bass section and general
excellencies in tdiction and in crescen-
do and diminuendo work in this vocal
symphony. But there were many
choir members and directors of Wash
ington in last nights audience who
had not heard this group previously
and they enjoyed the perfection and
ease of this choir's singing. 1t may
prove Of additional interest to know
that Mrs. H. E. Talbot. head of the
board of directors and chief patroness
of the choir, said last night that Ahere
were AZ in this group Of 60 who never
sang with the choir until September
of this year-they had only three
months Of work under Mr.. William
son--and that this was the choir's
nineteenth concert on this tour.
The ever dominant feature about
this choir is the fact that those in the
organization are there not for financial
remuneration, but for love of singing.
and, more than that, they are Amer
