SOUSA'S NEW MARCH AND
LUCY MARX SINGING
The Mems National Press Club
was honored today BY the great
March King.
John Philip sousa was guest Of
honor at luncheon 10 their club
rooms today.
A new march. the National Frees
Club March. /" was christened at this
lunch. That Ii. It's name was then
revealed for the first time by Com.
mander Sousa. with the further IN.
formation that II was dedicated to
the men and women or the press Of
Washington
The march viii Be played 1t both
OF the Sousa concerts at the Wash
ington Auditorium at 4:30 this after.
noon and and ct Sis this evening.
Another musical event Of interest
to Washington was the singing at
the dinner LOT the National Press
Club last evening Of Lucy Dickinson
Marx, soprano. a singer with a
charming voice and gracious pres.
ence, who Ii heard too little on our
concert stage.
Mrs. Marx has q genuine gift for
song. She sings with appealing
sweetness and possesses also de.
lightfuI sense OF humor. so that her
program RANGES from the art song
and aria TO simple ballads ana some
unique music OF her own composing.
The taste Of her singing OF "Eisa's
Dream from "Lohengrin" was ad.
Inirabie and her freshness 0e voice
brought the youthful quality 90
necessary TO express this Wagner
heroine &. Mrs. Elizabeth Garlne-.
Coombs was her able accompanisl.
But. then, Mrs, Marx came az the
daughter from Dixie. in three OF her
own songs Of childhood. inspired by
her own three little daughters. Her
touch Of home and the Southland
has wrought some childhood classics,
for they have both motive and good
musical worth. And she gave some
OF her own settings OF negro "play"
songs that rounded out an enjoy.
able program.
Today, Ottilie Corday, p-irna
donna. was the artist who sang for
the SOusa luncheon. Miss Corday
was formerly with Julia Sanderson
