MUSIC OF THE NATIONS"
PROGRAM

A large audience attended the program
listed as Music of the Nations" at the
Jewish Community Center last night
and showed enthusiastic appreciation
OF the selections given and their pres

notable for the youth of the majority
OF the participants. They are all
young potential artists and the amount
OF their natural talents combined with
the apparent seriousness of their efforts
eVinced on this occasion, augur well
for future musical performances in
Washington.
The star of the occasion was Hazel

the 1923 AtWater Kent $4,000 plus as a
first prize winner. Miss Arth has an

sung this number George Wilson was
an alert accompanist.
Two other young singers on this pro-
gram were Salvatore Carta, tenor, and
Giuseppe Bruno. baritone. Both have
rich, natural beauty in their voices.
Both still have long way to go in
producing their high tones to best ad-
tendency to over-dramatize. If they
develop the possibilities of their voices
with thorough, intelligent musicianship,
these singers should go far. They OBJ
tanned some excellent tonal blend IN
passages in their two duets. Their
numbers were in Italian.
An unusual feature was the piano
octet which appeared in several Seiec-
lions arranged for such group by
Benjamin Rather. a talented young
Washington pianist. Particularly ad-
mirable was the octet's reading OF
Saint-Saens' "Danse Macabre." The
Brahms Hungarian Dance No. 5"
with orchestra was we'll done finale,
directed by Joseph Rather. Announce
ment was made that the Movietone was
making sound pictures of this octet.
