David Courtois, . trapper.
A year ago Courtois took Ms
boys into the forest on a hunting
expedition. They hunted and fished
Tor two months and the boys were
happy learning woodcraft under the
guidance Of the father. Then one
day Courtois went off from his
Iean-to camp and told the boys
to stay nearby. When he returned
they were gone.
From that day to this, Courtols
has kept up an unceasing search.
He never gave up hope. Time and
again he enlisted comrades ana
each hunt was unavailing-and the
friends decided among themselves
the boys were dead.

His father approached, pleaded
with the boy and finally reason

NINE. ONEGIN
IS HEARD TN
RECITAL

Personality and the contralto
might we'll have been the title Of
the delightful concert at Polls
Theater yesterday, in which Nine.
Sigrid Onegin appeared under the
local management of Mrs. Wilson
Greene.
In every number it was facinat.
ing to watch how very affective
the introductory theme was in
the determining of the singers
mood and how completely Nine.
Onegin effused her whole spirit
into the dramatic Interpretation
OF the piece, as well as the beauti-
ful rendition.
Opening her program with the
Aria of Sextus from La Glenn
enzadi Tito" by Mozart, the artist
at once gave evidence of those
rare tonal beauties which have
won for her so many followers.
Her voice is powerful TO the ex-
tent of resembling organ tones,
yet with the moment she con-
trolls 1t to the lightness of a rain
drop.
DISTINGUISHING herself most
thoroughly in the amusing
MOBILES Seigneurs Salut" by
Meyerbeer. which she graciously
repeated for her auditors, Nine.
Onegin concluded her program
with the Aria of Eboli from Don
Carlos" by Verdi, which too was
received with most enthusiastic
approval and ceaseless applause
for still another melody.
Nine. Onegin is popular in
Washington as an artist of rare
ability and charm, We are al.
ways happy when she promises
to come back to us.

GERMAN OPERA
STARS SHINE
AT POLI'S

The most beautiful Of all wag-
merriam opera was relived last
night by the members Of the
German Opera Company and the
large audience which filled Polls
Theater.
The members OF the cast dis
tinguished themselves beyond all
heights of their presentations thus
far of the Wagnerian group they
are so aptly singing, in the ex.
auisite Tristan und Isolde" one
of the most difficult and consid-
cred by many the most expansive
of the masters work.
The score Is in itself so pro.
found in depths of emotion and
color, that one is able to visual
ize the story as it runs through
its elaborate course.
The role of Isolde was perfectly
cast in Juliette Lippe. In. every
number she gave her fullest power
to create the gorgeous heroine in
the vivid and lovely colors Of
rich voice and histrionic ability.
The part required the greatest
portion of technique and contin-
ued singing of extremely difficult
passages, of any of the cast and
through it all Lippe preserved
the freshness and flexibility of
her tones and emotions.
The hero Tristan fell to Willy
Zilken, who too was perfectly
cast.
The love scene in the second
act proved Lippe ard Zilken an
harmonious and tender duet.
Their voices blended with sterling
fineness and eloquence.
Brangaene awakened to a
beautiful life in the excellent
voice of Sonia Sharnova. During
the second act, her singing off
stage was particularly commend
able.
A word of praise is extended TO
Karl Braun's King Mark, Marcel
SalZinger as Kurvenal, Franz
Egenieff as Melot. Waldemar
Henke as the shepherd, and AL
bert Warwick as the sherman.
The scenes were we'll appointed
and and the orchestra under the
splendid hand of DIR. Walter Rabl
completed the astheticism of the
golden story.
The opera company will be
presented in "Seigfried" on Thurs
day night at the same hour, 7:45.
