EMMA REDELL's RECITAL.

Washingtonians should be proud to
claim Emma Redell, dramatic soprano.
There should have been q much larger
audience to welcome her at the Ma
tional Theater yesterday afternoon
when she made her local debut in a
formal song recital. AS 1t was, there
were many who had known her from
early childhood when her parents
moved here from Baltimore, through
her high school days, until she went
to New York to continue her vocal
studies. There also were not a few
music lovers and connoiSSeurS who have
sufficient interest to feel the same thrill
at a fine artists debut In concert that
many people feel at theatrical first
night" Such members of yesterdays
audience were rewarded for their at
tendance. No artist of international
standing, even including those of the
in Washington who was better equipped
for concert work. 1t was obvious that
all who attended yesterday recognized
this fact by the warm and persistent
applause that was given after each
number.
Emma Redell has q beautiful voice,
particularly mellow and rounded in the
middle register, but with accurate, clear
high notes. Her highest notes were
more lovely In the Italian songs than
the German, although she sang all her
numbers with the authority and finish
of style that comes with thorough
training in the traditions. Emma
Redell, physically. rather reminds one
of the British Florence AuStral. She
has the build of a singer, with excel
lent breath control, admirable diction
in each language in which she sang
and no scooping for tones. She seems
to know the art of bel canto very well
indeed. The only criticism might be
that occasionally, In the German lieder.
the high notes had more color and
effectiveness If placed more. forward in
her head as she sang. Miss Redell is
an intelligent singer who also has real
warmth in her singing. Moreover, she
sang entirely from memory with no word
book to destroy the illusion of SIM
plicity that is real art.
The program opened with the cava-
tina from Mozart's Marriage of Figaro"
and a group of three Donaudy songs.
all charmingly presented. The air,
"Madre, Poetosa Virginia" from Verdi's
Force of Destiny" followed. In this

Enthusiastically received.
A comprehensive program, arranged
in such manner that 1t showed the sing
er's technique, her thorough familiarity
with the music of her own land and
people as we'll as of other lands, de-

four nationalities - German, French,

"TannhauSer," and "viSsi d'Arte," from
'Tosca"-the full dramatic power of the
singers voice was shown to advantage,
with no forced tones and just enough
suggestion of the operate style to carry
well on the concert stage Miss Redell
sang for several years in opera houses
of Germany and also in Warsaw and
Budapest.
Her group Of Brahms songs showed
fine feeling for the lieder, with the coy
"Vergebliches Staendchen" a charming
contrast to the more sober and even
tragic songs. Max Rogers exquisite
"Wiegenlied" was one of the unusual
numbers on the program. The Oft
heard My Lovely Celia" was beauti-
fully done, and "Yohrzeit." by Siberia,
was one of the most dramatic of the
concert songs. George Bolek was ade-
quate at the piano. H. F.

Legislation providing for more favor
able working conditions for prisoners in
National and State penitentiaries was
urged by Pat Grove, former outlaw and
bandit, in an address at luncheon OF
the Washington Kiwanis Club in the
Hotel Washington yesterday. Mr.. Grove
reviewed his early training, told of
crimes later on and then of his efforts
in later years to better conditions for
the younger generation.
James B. Evans, chairman of the
clubs orthopedic and welfare commit

which the public school board did not
have funds to purchase, had been sup
piled by the club for the use of crippled
children at Weightman's School. The
club also is transporting lunches from
the Dennison Building to the crippled
childrens schools on each school day.

A group of Negro spirituals completed
the program, all of them greeted with
applause. Miss AnderSon's singing Of
these spiritualS, however, did not seem
to emphasize their simplicity, but rather
to attempt to make art songs of them.

/ should like to point out that the only
reason why the Presidents aircraft
board did not recommend a 10-year
program was that it appeared imprac-
ticable to make definite plans for the
size of the air force at period so dis
tant as 10 years. Furthermore the
amount and type of equipment to be
bought each year we're difficult to de-
termine so far In advance. 1t was re-
allied that conditions change very
rapidly. Accordingly. it seems to me
that the wiSest course to pursue is to
purchase each year a sufficient num-

be constantly improving in their art
and in order to encourage the factories
not to devote themselves so exclusively
to the needs of commercial aviation
that they will neglect the very differ
ent types required for military avia-
ton. The numbers purchased should
not be so great as to clutter up our
hangers with obsolete types, neither
should they be so small as to discour-
age ambitious aeronautical engineers.

Aircraft Industry Grows.
Since this report was made the air
craft industry In the United States has
gone ahead by leaps and bounds, chief
ly in the development OF commercial
aviation. Large transport planes are
being built in steadily growing num-
bers The sale of the small airplanes
to private owners is steadily increasing
and will be more and more important
as time goes on. Fortunately 1t can
no longer be claimed by any one that
the size of our air forces should be
determined by the needs OF the indus
try. On the contrary, their size must
be determined solely on the needs of
the national defense.
Our plan at present is to select a
good type OF airplane as standard
for fighting or pursuit, bombing attack
or observation, and keep to that stand
ard for two or three years with the un-
derstanding that, barring some extraor-
binary Developments, no radical changes
would be made in that type within
that length Of time. Thus the indus
try is assured of a continuous series of
orders for a standard design, while an
excessive multiplication Of types of
equipment for military aviation is
avoided.
