Today District Attorney Burton
Fits plans to have three former
employees OF Alexander Pantages
take the witness stand to testify
that the millionaire theater man

The combined stories of the three,

that Pantages had bargained with
him to commit perjury when he
was brought to trial for criminal
assault on EuniCe Pringle, 17-year-
old dancer.

IN-CHERKAssKY RECITAL.

TENiPLIN- CHERKASSKY RECITAL.
Mary Templin, contralto, and Harry
Cherkassky, violinist, appeared in joint
recital at the Washington Club last
night. The audience was very enthu-
siastic throughout the evening.
Both performers took part in the
recent District of Columbia Federation
of Music Clubs contest held in Wash
ington and won first T'ace in their re-
spective classes. Mr.. Cnerkassky, in the
district contest held later in Baltimore,
competing with violiniStS from Virginia,
Maryland and West Virginia, won a
second time, and he is to go to Boston
next week to compete in the national
finals in the young artist violinist class.
Last night both Miss Templin and Mr..
CherkaSsky showed qualifications which
make them worthy Of places eventually
in the concert field.
Miss Templin has a lovely, deep con-
tralto quality Of voice. She also has
discriminating sense Of the dramatic
values of her songs and her diction is
clear. She was at her best in Schu-
bert's Death and the Maiden" which
she sang with marked individuality and
style MY Star" by Mrs. H. H. A.
Beach, was another particularly well
all attractive encore that suited the
singers personality in lighter moods.
The song groups would have gained by
giving more variety in the color and
mood instead of having all the songs
on nearly the same subject and In the
same somber, romantic key. The
TSchaikowSky air is not attractive with
the English words, which are too full
some for the music, and a very stodgy,
unimaginative translation. The sing
err needs most Of all an easier control
of her breath and to breathe more deep
" to give her better tone volume. Miss
Templin is singer of charm, good stage
presence and marked possibility.
Mr.. Cherkassky already has admirable
finish in his style of playing. He gave
the colorful Lalo Symphonic Es-
pagnole" very we'll indeed, with easy
control Of all its tricky effects. There
was just a suggestion of Looping gait
in the beginning of the "rondo," but
the player gained in poised control as
he progressed. His best selections from
every. point OF view, were kreisiers
"Tambourin Chinois" and "LiebeS-
freud" The latter might have gained
a lit in contrasts if the opening theme
had not always been sounded fortiSsimo,
more varied tone color being used, leav-
ing the most brilliant and loudest rem
dition of this theme for the very last
phrases. Mr.. Cherkassky Is already
such an artist that 1t is in polishing the
little things with inf1nitesimal care and
ingenuity and getting little more easy
control of the always poised bow that he
can progress rapidly, to command re-
spect as an individual artist. His tech
nique, with clean-cut chromatics.. &C
curate pitch and all the tricks OF his
instrument, Is admirably achieved. He
has yet to learn the subtle inner mean
ing Of Bach. Last night, in playing the
Sonata in B Minor" all the notes
were there, but they were only notes,
and there were times when the brilliant
bow of the player was strident in tone,
shrieking a message that Bach meant

Five New Peers and Three
Elevations Feature Windsor
Castle Scene.

BY the ASSOCIATED Press
WINDSOR, England, June 3.-King
George V. celebrated his sixty-fourth
birthday today, propped up in bed in the
Victoria tower of Windsor Castle.
The abscesS at the old lung incision
was not serious. his doctors said, and
was taking normal course. But, ap-
pearing as it did eight days ago, 1t added
an inevitably doleful note to festivities
which had been planned as thanksgtv-
ing at his majeSty'S recovery from his
long illness of last Winter.
Little change was made in plans Tor
the formal celebrations planned in Lon
don. The "trooping to colors" by Sc
lected guards regiments remained in
traditional style, the difference being
that King George was at Windsor and
that the 2l-gun salute was therefore
Windsor's lot rather than Londons.
Long Record Broken.
This was the first time King George
had spent his birthday at Windsor since
he came to the throne 10 years ago.
His birthday honors list was in many
ways one of the most notable he has
ever issued. Five new peers were Gre
ated, and three elevations in peerage
were given. Five new privy councillors
were created WlCn eleVeH OaIoueCS'
knights bachelor and knights of various
orders. Each of the physicians who at
tended the King during his Winters
illness were fonored.
EarIdom for Ship Owner.
The outstanding award was of an
earldom from Viscount Inchcape, the
ship owner. He sold all the enemy and
prize ships after the great war. w. c.
Bridgeman, who Is nearing the close
of his 40-year political career as first
lord of the admiralty, was made
viscount.
Among women honored were the
Hon. Mary Pickford, defeated Con-
servative candidate In the general cleo
lions, for public service, and Miss Eliz-
abeth Gordon for her services in nurs-
ing the King during his long illness.
