The piano does not know many
masters, who can paint such gor-
geous pictures, can tell such won
drous tales as Vladimir Horowitz,
who initiated the Philharmonic
course of concerts, at Polls Thea-

Russian artist is a newcomer to
our country, but his genius is
monument of centuries.
His program commenced with

blaze of emotions, that because
they were so profound, were al

The second part of the program,

something worth while. This

as Joe Yule and Jeanne Steele

patrons of the Myth Street house

Yule has long been faVorite

house in an uproar last night
with his buffoonery. Charlie Cole,
who excels in a tramp role, was
right behind the star in laugh
provoking.
Jeanne Steele almost ran away
with the show at times. She is
pleasing to look at and her dane

and take notice. Tessie Sherman

did her specially. with Ollie Nell

advantage lin a group OF songs.

GRAND OPERA In
ENGLISH AT
KEITH'S

Grand opera, as presented by
the ultra modern school, is truly
the most potent musical enter
prise, of the day.
Having scored three Metropolis
tan triumphs, since its last APP
pearance here. the American Opera
Company has returned to Wash
ington. to present a trio of the
best known dramatic operas, in
our national tongue, and with all
the modern American ideas of
staging, costume and setting.
carmen" the operate classic
of Georges Bizet was the first of
the series, offered under the
auspices Of Mrs. Wilson-G Greene,
at the Keith Theater, last evening.
Adapted into English by Helene
Mullins and Robert A. Simon, it
proved an exquisite piece of musi-
cal drama, just as glorious as the
original, with an added feature
of intelligence to the audience.
No longer now, Will the greatest
vocal masterpieces be enjoyed by
lust a few nor in the superficial
way. but in this modern form,
they will hold real interest for
everybody, even as our popular
musical comedies. The sole note
Of difference. will lie in the es-
sence of the thing, the culture
that manifests itself nowhere as
in opera.
Edifying to those who attended
the premiere performance, was
the realization that the cast OF
the brilliant essay was selected
entirely from native American
singers. There is much to be
hoped for, in these artists, who
have embarked so bravely, on an
uncharted sea Of music.
1t was keenly gratifying to OBJ
serve the truth, that the home
tongue did not remove the inn
mortal Carmen from it's glorious
niche in the classic wall. The
youthful cast were as perfect
actors as vocal artists.
Miss Bettina Hall who sang
the title role, possesses a rare
histrionic ability as well as a
beautiful voice. that was over
whelming in some of her most
stellar moments.
Patrick Killikelly, sang the part
OF the lover Don Jose. with an
equally. laudable perfection.
Peter Chambers, John Uppman,
Frederick Roberts, and Mark
Daniels, in the respective roles
of Zuniga, Morales, Eel Remendade
and Dancairo, were splendid. Es-
camille found an excellent inter

score.
The curtain of formality, which
engenders so much the spirit of
opera as we have known it all
these years, is ruthlessly drawn
aside, as there is struck notice.

the audience and the actors.
This twentieth century presen-
