OPERA CONCERT
THRILLS
By JESSIE MCBRIDE

No wonder the Italians love
opera!
Opera arias. dressed up in their
dramatic illusions, become some
thing new and delightful on the
concert stage. So the Wolfsohn
concert, presented by Peggy Albion
at the Washington Auditorium last
evening, took the costume recital
one step further by dramatizing two
operas. the Romeo and Juliet" of
the French Gounod and the "Rigo-
letto" Of Verdi, within concert
form, because of forbidding copy

The novelty takes precedence of
the singers, as novelty only!
Joan Ruth, baby" star Of the
Met, and Edward Johnson, de-

opera combination of lovers, they
brought us something rare and
beautiful in music, fresh with the.
spirit of youth, and our own by
virtue OF their being Americans,
though Edward Johnson comes
from above the United States Cana
