VALUATION
!. STILL IS
CRlJX

The public hearing on the
application of the Capital
Traction Company for an in
creased fare probably will end
abruptly when the Public Util-
ities Commission meets Thurs
day morning, it was indicated
in several quarters today.
There are three propositions be-
fore the Commission and it is be-
lieved almost certainty that one
of them will be put forward and
bring the long hearing to an end
Three Possibilities
One possibility is that the COM
panies, the Capital Traction Com.
pany and the Washington Railway
and Electric Company will come
forward with a merger agreement
of their own. The second is that
the Commission will Immediately
suspend the hearing until the COM
pany properties have been revalued.
The third is that the companies
will go into court and seek reli"f
in that quarter.
The present Commission has not
been convinced that the valuation
placed on the Capital Traction Com
pany by the courts is a fair one to
be used for the purpose of rate
fixing.
On the other hand the companies
contend they are not making a fair
return on their respective invest
ments and have indicated that unless
the increase is granted relief will be
sought in the courts.
Means Salvation
The commission 8 merger plan has
been turned down fatty by the trac-
tion interests although officials Of
both companies agree that a merger
of some sort will mean the salvation
of the street railway companies.
Taking into consideration the at.
titude of the commission and the
failure of the companies to agree on
anything it is believed revaluation
will be ordered by the commission.
This will most likely be the outcome,
unless the companies put forward a
merger.

HARRY RICHdAN, star of George
Whites Scandals" for the past
three years, is to make his Aim debut
in Song of Broadway" singing, talk
ing United Artists Picture for which
Irving Berlin wrote the story and eight
new songs. Mr.. Richman will appear
as a small town song plugger who be-
comes famous after innumerable set
backs.
Richman. began in vaudeville, CO.
starring with Mae West, with the Dolly
sisters, in song-and-dance acts that
played the big-time circuits. In stock
while still in his teens. he supported
Willard Mack and Marjorie Rambeau
Shortly thereafter, he Joined a Pacific
Coast troupe, in which Richard Dix was
making his bow as a stage leading man.
1t was at this time Richman became
a night club entertainer. His theater
work completed for the day and night
Richman would put on a song and
dance act Of his own at Baron Longs
Vernon Country Club in Los Angeles
A similar program was staged at Watts
Tavern in Los Angeles suburb. More
recently, the Club Richman in New
York has occupied the star after hours.
His Giro Club he sold to Otto Kahn for
his son, Roger Wolfe, and 1t became
LIE Perroquet.
Harry Richman sang for the first
time and was largely instrumental in
establishing such songs as Muddy
Water" Laugh, Clown, Laugh" King
for Day." Lucky Day." "The Birth
of the Blues" and "Linger Awhile" He
wrote the lyrics for Muddy Water"

grinder in other countries. And Prof.
Brown thinks that It is quite possible
that the present revival Of interest in
the "cante flamenco" is partly due to
the photograph.
Deep song is sung almost exclusively
by professionals. The father of the
present King of Spain is included in
the list of deep song fans, and some of
the best known poets, novelistS, play
wrights, librarians, critics, professors.
composers, sculptors and painters are
rated as connoisseurs,
Composers are indebted to Gypsy
music, according to Prof. Brown, who
is convinced that Beethoven learned
something from the complex and swiftly
changing rhythms of the Hungarian
Gypsies in Vienna, and List has ad-
mitted his indebtedness in no uncer-
tain terms. Recently Prof. Brown was
told that Dalcroze invited Hungarian
Gypsy cembolam player to play for his
pupils and expressed deep admiration
for the rhythmic beauty Of the music.
There has been a definite decline In
the Negro melodies in America through
contact with other music, Prof. Brown
declares, and adds that the Negroes of
Africa can distinguish and use many
more rhythms than the American
Negroes.

M U SIC
BY HELEN FETTER.

December Is, the second OF the
three programs was given IN
honor of the delegates to the In
ternational Conference of Ameri-
can States on Cancellation and
Arbitration. 1t was a particularly
brilliant occasion. The three solo,
lists were Sofia del Campo, Chilean
coloratura soprano; Dyla JoSetti,
Brazilian pianist, and Ennio Bo-
lognini, Argentine violoncelliSt,
all of whom were particularly
we'll received.
The third program was given
April 2. AS on the two previous
occasions, the United Service Or
cheStra-composed of men from
both the United States Army and
Navy Band OrcheStras-played
the majority of the selections.
The guest SoioiStS were Gonzalo,
Hector and Francisco Hernandez
of Colombia; ErneStina Lecuona,
Cuban pianist, and Margarita
Cueto, Mexican soprano. Socially
this program was distinguished by
the presence of Mrs. Herbert Hoo
yer in the audience. Musically 1t
was particularly interesting to
hear the Hernandez trio play
upon native instruments, which
were quite unlike the instruments
to which WashingtonianS are ac-
customed in concert programs in
the National Capital.
1t is significant, perhaps, that
the compositions that fingered
most in the mind were the strictly
native works, such as the "Yaqui
Dance" by Alvarado of Mexico,
which are skillfully written with
out the suggestion Of European
style to subdue the authenticity
of their native material.
THE Soloists for Tuesdays pro-
gram are Senorita Lolita
Cabrera GainSborg, Bolivian plan
list, and Diana Martinez Milicua,
Mexican soprano. This is the
third soprano that Mexico has
provided this season.
The orchestral numbers will be
played by the returned United
States Army Band, Capt. w. j.
Stannard, leader. The second
leader, Thomas F. Darcy, will give
some cornet solos and Master
Sergt. John Bauman will play
marimba solos.
It is Of interest that, whereas
the Fourth of July, the United
States national holiday of SUI
preme meaning, will be past less
than a week in time, Argentina'S
national holiday falls on the very
evening of this concert. There
fore, special honor will be paid
that country by opening the pro-
gram with "San Lorenzo" the ma
tional march of Argentina, and at
the conclusion of the program the
band will play the Argentine an
them.
Under the director of the Pan
American Union, DR.. Leo S.
Rowe, and the counselor. Frank
lin Adams, a particularly repre-
sentative program of the 20 Latin
American countries will be played.
The only United States compost
ton listed is THE Star Spangled
Banner" However, one or more
works will be presented that are
typical of composers from Argen-
tina, Salvador, Honduras. Haiti,
Brazil, Venezuela. Ecuador, Mexi-
co, Paraguay, Panama, Guate-
mala, Costa Rica, Dominican Re-
public, Bolivia, Uruguay, Chile,
Nicaragua, Peru and Cuba.

Deep Song of the Gypsies

PRoF. IRVING BROWN, who for
the last IS years has travelled with
Gypsies Of every continent and has
learned their songs and dances as few
others outside these rowing bands know
them, In his book called Deep Song"
writes Of the purer. less corrupted styles
Of singing. Many Of these are being
preserved on photograph records. Prof.
Brown Is assistant in the romance
language department of Columbia Uni
versity and author Of other books on
gypsy life.
Just what effect photograph preser-
walton will have on the future of deep
song Prof. Brown does not predict, but
he says that the songs that have been
published with notes give only faint
idea of their true character and that
the photograph record, while lacking
those delicate shades that true Gypsy
artist gives, nevertheless does teach the
present generation how to initiate to
nicely famous deep song" artists.
