I UNFORTUNATELY coinciding
with the little Menuhin's de-
but in Washington is the initial
appearance here in her famous
dance compositions" of Angina En-
tiers, American dancer. There are
those who will remember her re-
markable individual talents when
she appeared here in more con-
ventional dances, as Anita Enters,
In programs given under the aus
pieces of the RAMS Head Players.
But as Angina Enters, originator of
Episodes, or Dance Compost
tions," this talented young lady
comes new to Washington.
1t is interesting to find that she
acquired the unusual name Of
Angina following a consultation
with numerologiSt, and, with her
new name, began her plans for
evolving this original set of pro-
grams that have won worldwide
commentator. Hers, perhaps, is
not a really new art, but it GER
tainly is an individual combina-
ton of the arts of dancing and
pantomime. She would seem to
have the same magic that Isadora
Duncan possessed, yet developed
entirely differently, using always
simplicity, feeling and that I'M
analyzable something" that car
ries the conviction of authorita-
tive reading into the very heart CT
human nature.
WASHINGTON music-l lovers and
musicians should offer keen
support to the effort made by
joint sponsorship of the District
of Columbia Federation of Music
Clubs and the Church Music
Council to bring out a representa-
tive number of Washington sing
erS for the third annual choral
festival to be given here later this
Spring.

gan recently appeared in Wash
ington in consultation with lead

duct. Mr.. Alexander is to appear

tween now and the date, early in
May, when the festival is to be

FINALLY, a word must be said
here for the second American
composer to be honored with a
"one-man" program of works in
the Capital of his own country
this season in the series sponsored
by the Misses Sutro. Henry Had
ley, noted composer-conductor,
will be so honored tomorrow. The
first concert was devoted to the
works of Americas dean of wom-
an compoSers-Mrs. H. H. A.
Beach, who is now in sunny Italy
Spinning new melodies into must
cisnly compositions.
It would be a great thing il
washington might gradually grow
to be the center of the musical
and other artistic intelligentSia OF
this country, asst is now the cen
ter for diplomatic and political in
terestS.
