SAY0YARDSADD
TO LAUJRELS
AT BELASC0

The plot which makes up '"The
Blushing Bride" current offering
of the Savoy Musical Comedy
Company, at the Belasco Theater,
IL composed Of various parts, all
familiar. There is the rich
uncle's nephew who wants to
marry an actress, the phllander-
ing old uncle himself and his wife,
who plays the stock market.
Yet this piece is a gay and
rollicking little farce-well-stagcd,
well acted, well embelllished--
without a dull moment.
True, things might have heen
amiss in the first act last night il
it had not been for the prompter.
but that gentleman did yeon1an
service.
Cleo Mayfield and Cecil Lean
romped through this play for
new honors and staged IA few
very gay specialties of their own
for extra good measure.
Quite a number of other spe-
cilaties were introduced, and. en-
cores seemed to reach new
record for an opening night The
chorus staged some nifties and
the song numbers were effectively
done.
Albert Gloria, as Paul. played in
a sUperlative manner. He wore his
part. probably, better than any of
the leads. IN addition to this, he
and his wife or sister (the program
Is silent on the matter) put on one
f the fastest and best dance spe-
ciaIties that this reviewer has ever
seen. It was a WOW.
Mr.. Capron made the best of his
role, the rich uncle, and Miss
Beatrice Lee appeared tu good ad-
vantage as the wife who had
weakness for playing with the
bulls and bears.
Miss Renee Hamilton, Miss Vir-
ginia Marvin and Frank Gallagher
deserve mention. The Misses Rita
Ebach, Eilee McEvoy and Mary
Deery appeared in small bits. Miss
Deery did a dance turn or two,
also.
The show is presented in a
sprightly manner and. taken to-
gether with the dance specialties,
is good for three solid hours of en-
ioyment. 1t is commended highly.

TRAIL OF 49,
IN FINAL
WEEK

While Dolores Del Rio and
Ralph Forbes are featured players
in the Columbia hold-over, "The
Trail of 49," Karl Danes Swedish
characterization and startling pho
tographic effects go long way
toward making that picture a
worthwhile piece OF entertainment
with sound accompaniment. 1t Is
to be not said that the Rio-Forbes
combination fails in any particu-
lar to display the usual talent, and
portrait in dramatizing the Service
story, but rather that their total
film yardage gives them but little
time in which to demonstrate any
real acting skill.
In fact there is very little of
this throughout the whole film
that NAV be attributed to any
single individual. for there are a
score of stars and lesser lights
moving hitlaer and yon before the
kleigs, but if any group is to be
given honor for making the '98
Trail an AL attraction Of its kind
certainly Karl Dane would he in
that group. However, he has no
few competitors in addition to the
fascinating Mexican and the gal
lant.looking Forbes.
The snow.slides. and the shooting
OF the White Horse rapids are. in
themselves very fine pieces of
Photographic work, genuine ex-
amples> Of what modern directing

Mr.. Alexander has just refused a re-

Detroit Symphony asking him to give a
40-minute lecture on music at their next
meeting. The date conflicts with his

will give his first lecture here, on Bach,

D. c. Music Clubs Join
In Drive for Membership

"TN union there is strength" has never
before been so obviously emphasized
as in the organization and work of the
National Federation of Music Clubs.
Spurred by the past activities of 1000
music clubs (the largest organization of
its kind in the world) and the direct
benefit to each and every individual and
organization affiliated with 1t, drive is
now under way for an extension of
membership to include 5000 organiza-
tionS.
The District of Columbia Federation,
a component part Of the national
federation, can be counted upon for a
definite contribution. While a great
many music clubs OF various kinds in
the District of Columbia are federated"
there are still many that have not yet
done so. The advantages to be derived
from being part of this great national
organization are many. This member
ship reacts in a manner to stimulate
local work in the field of music through
contact and cooperation with others
working in the same field, which means
publicity to the individual town or club.
Organizations thus affiliated have oppor-
tunity to expand in many directions
whereas otherwise they may never be
IlCdIQ Aloul cACSpt III very small way
in the local community.
Contests for juniors, students and
young artists are a few of the things
that help to stimulate interest. Con-
ventions in different cities, and held
periodically, help for mutual exchange
Of ideas and methods.
The District Of Columbia, with its
various organizations and individuals of
talent. can contribute in no small meas
ure to increasing the figure of clubs to
be federated between now and next
June. States, counties and cities are
turning attention of clubs to the stimu-
lating enterprise of making federation
contacts in every city and town. The
membership fees are so small as to be
negligible
Inquiries are earnestly solicited for
those who are not familiar with the
purpose and work of the federation the

A MERICA'S most distinguished
prima donna, Rosa Ponselle,
who, the middle of last November
celebrated her tenth anniversary
as prima donna of the Metropol-
itan Opera Co., gives a song re-
cital here the middle of this week,
making her second appearance in
Washington within the month.
1t is a mark of the real appre-
citation that is the foundation for
building American music history
that the National Federation of
Music Clubs has honored this

the festival to be given there in

still tentative. Vaughn Williams
and John Ireland will represent
Great Britain and there will be
one or more contemporary COM
posers from France, Germany,
Austria, Hungary, Serbia, CZecho-
slovakia, Holland and Poland.
Another music festival sched-
uled to be given abroad which has
very different form of novelty,
will be the German Chamber
Music Festival to be held next
July in Baden Baden, when, ac-
cording to announcements sent
out from headquarters, "com-
posers are specifically invited TO
write for the radio listener, but
they must write music of such
clearness and unitv in structure
and content, that it is worth lis
tening TO-"
This sounds like a large order.
