CHURCH APPEAL
BY PEPPER

The people Of Washington today
were urged to make adequate prep
arations to receive and care for the
general convention of the Episcopal
Church, which win convene here in
October, in a signed appeal by
former Senator George Wharton
Pepper, of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Pepper is assisting Gen. John
J. Pershing in the task of raising
funds for construction and endow-
ment Of the Washington Cathedral,
and is taking an active part in
preliminary work for the conven-
ton.
Money and personal service are,
as usual, the prime requisites" the
appeal states, in urging an enthu-
siastic response by Washingtonians.
washington in 80 days win be
deserted by many of its most in
fluential people. They will not re-
assemble until the convention is
about to begin. Prompt, jealous
and continuous work is essential, IL
Washington is to prove equal TO
its opportunity. !"
Mr.. Pepper further points out
that ''the eyes Of the world will
be focused on Washington during
the period OF the convention, and
newspapers the world over will re-
fleet the spirit surrounding the con-
vention-"e your effective en-
thusiasm or your destructive luke.

|ROMPING AROUND The RADIO DIALS|
CALM Sc titles
IN AIR LANES

After one hectic week especially
after last nights gala loud speaker
output--the first half Of the radio
weekend settles into calmness and
regular production from regular
programs. Early tuners today had
the real novelty Of the Saturday out
put when. at II o'clock this morn
ing. they heard the wife Of Secre-
tary Of Labor James ]. Davis talk
about good things to eat-espe cially
the famous recipes that have made
great men wax greater.
The afternoon tuners also receive
some food for thought in the pro-
gram which WRC relays from
WEAF, dealing with the question Of
whether or not large navies make
for peace or war. The discussion
originates at the Foreign Policy As
ISOLATION luncheon. which has be-
come a regular Saturday feature
for WRC, and I:45 was the hour
set for its beginning
The New York symphony concert,
due at 8 O'Clock to WRC and the
WIZ affiliations, has much OF in
terest for those who care. to com.
mare various musical moods and
composers of entirely different
noints of view. The concert opens
with the overture from The King
of Y,s'' by Lalo Ue Roi de Y'sl-
one of the early modern French
men who Is known best for lighter
music and this one great poetic
opera. The story is based on an
old Breton legend, and has been
given an exquisite musical setting
by the composer.
BALLET MUSIC
FROM OLD OPERA
Two ballet numbers from Gluck,s
opera, "Orpheus," win also be heard.
Gluck Il called the father OF opera
as we know it and "Orpheus was
his epoch making work. The ballet
music is especially well adapted for
orchestral delivery and viii bereadily
recognized by radio listeners. The
second movement of Beethoven's
second symphony, Greig's Nor
wegian Dance" an one movement
that is not Indicated, nom Tschai-
kowsky's sixth symphony athetl-
oue"-compIete the program. Al
most any movement from the great
Tschaikowsky symphony would be
satisfying to Saturday evening au-
dience.
The famous musical comedy, 1.-THE
Count of Luxemburg," is to be the
Philco offering at o'clock, with
Jessica Dragonette, Colin O'More
and Doris Doe of the regular forces,
and e. Boardman Sanchez, tenor,
added as special guest artist. The
Westinghouse Band may be heard
from KDKA by early tuners at 6:15,
the High Jinkers from the WEAF
encourage at 8, and at the same hour
a concert by the Lulu Temple Choir
OF Philadelphia, from WIFI.
The Boston Symphony is sched-
uled from WIZ at $40, and the
Meistersingers from WOR at s:15.
There will, of course, be the usual
onslaught of dance orchestras for
the late evening - including the
wardman Park group from WRC at
10 o'clock.

Clarity and volume were the

ming, with only . crash and
craclIe here and there to dis
ttrID programs. Static, forces
seemed to take an evening off
after their strenuous efforts Of
the night before. All sections OF
the continent were easily tuned
and only ordinary interference
and fading were noticeable.
The living rooms OF the nation
became opera auditoriums last night,
in which the greatest Of living
singers performed in faultless ar
tistry!
In spite of the harsh announce
ments Of John B. Kennedy that
brought listeners out Of the dream
world in which the art Of great
singers had carried them and did
much to shrivel the romance the
splendor OF Verdi's music had
created for them, the performance
of the chief scenes in 'Traviata"
last evening during the Victor hour
from VIZ marked a new epoch in
radio history.
Lucrezia Bori, soprano. Beniamino
GigIi, tenor, and Giuseppe de- Luca,
baritone. three Of the most accom-
plished artists Of the Metropolitan
Company, with an orchestra d.
reeted by Rosario Bourbon, pre-
scented the great moments of a
great grand opera In the living
rooms Of the entire nation in a
manner that has heretofore only
been possible in opera houses in
three Of four world capitals. The
isolated farm house on the blizzard
swept prairies, the lonely cabin in
the heart OF the mountains. as well
as the city apartment and the vii.
lage cottage were transformed by
the magic of radio into opera
houses and the jewellers within
them heard, as denizens of far
famed diamond horseshoes have sell
dom heard, the great opera by the
greatest of singers presented in per-
feet form!
There is a little that can be
said for the fine singing of the
three great stars who were pre-
scented in Verdi's masterpiece last
evening. They sang as only such
artists can sing. Perhaps the tempo
was a bit. slow at the beginning
and Nine. Bori was that much
handicapped in her first great aria,
but aside from that nothing could
have been finer.

FORM OF PRESENTATION
WELL CONCEIVED

The manner in which the opera
was presented left only the
choruses, which form a not unim-
portant part of it, to the magma
ton, for all the high spots of or
chestration and the chief scenes for
the principals were given. Only
the connecting of the various parts
by spoken announcement struck a
harsh note-and that was shock
ingly harsh, not because OF the char
acter or form of announcements, but
because of the utter lack of the kind
of personality necessary for it in the
announcer chosen.
Kennedy is a great writer and
uses vivid words in way that make
his statements striking and informa-
tive. But his speaking personality,
il we may call it that, is the reverse
of everything needed for the poetry
and romance of music or operate
announcement and comes as a shock
to the feelings of an audience up
lifted by the music to which it has
been listening.
In the regular broadcasts there
were many fine things-none finer
than the recital of Jose Corominas,
the Filipino baritone, who was star
of the Jordan hour from WMAL.
Corominas not only has q voice of
rich quality, but a sense of the
poetry and romance of song that en-
ables him to put into his singing all
the composer intended the music to
express.
Also from WMAL came an excel.
lent concert in the early evening by
Salvador Carta, tenor, and Joseph
Bruno, baritone, both of whom lis
teners will hope to hear again. The
Anglo Persians surprised their
friends from WRC by again inject
ing a woman's voice to their pro-
gram with excellent effect. This
time the singer had several impor.
tant songs which she sang with ex-
cellent effect.

CATHEDRAL WINDOW
DONATIONS RECEIVED
Donations for More Than Tenth of
Stained Glass Openings
Are Made.

Gifts and bequests have been received
for more than ne-tenth of the many
stained-glass windows planned for
Washington Cathedral, it was stated by
the Very Rev. G. C. F. Bratenahl, Dean
Of Washington.
The architectural style of the edifice,
which is fourteenth century gothic, with
flying buttresses supporting the thrust
of the stone vaulting. provides for three
tiers of windows in the nave and choir.
especially large windows in the apse,
and great rose windows in the north
and south transepts and western facade.
Including those already installed in the
Bethlehem Chapel and other portions
of the crypt, total of 1873 impressive
windows are planned for the cathedral.
The windows, statues, carvings and
other decorative features will tell in
pictorial form of the advancement OF
Christianity and illustrate its continuity
from the beginning down to the pres
ent day, it was declared. There will
be opportunity for wide choice of SUBJ
jects, for in addition to the many win
dows, the present plan provides for ap-
proximately 1000 sculptured figures and
statues, and more than 1000 sculptured
vaulting keystones, together with a
large number of wood carvings, mural
paintings and bas reliefs. There also
will be 10000 carved stones, integral
parts of the cathedral fabric, which will
contribute effectively to the atmosphere
of Christian symbolism, it was pointed
out.
The rose windows will represent three
great epochs in history of mankind, the
cathedral authorities said. The west
