Helen Ware Is
Star of Recital

Helen Ware, the noted violinist,
appeared in a recital last eve
ming at the King Smith Studio.
It was her first appearance in
this city for several seasons and
the only regret Of the evening
was that she could not have been
heard by a greater number Of
music lovers.
The chamber music chosen, q
suite for violin and piano by Carl
Goldmark, was Singularly appro-
pirate to her lovely, If limited,
surroundings and established Miss
Ware as an authoritative must
clan even as the remainder Of the
program maintained her reputa-
ton as a concert violiniSt.
The Goldmark suite is rarely
heard and in Miss Wares capable
handsl, was extremely effective.
The second and fourth move
ments, the adagi and allegro
moderate quasi allegretto, were
especially beautiful. The pianist,
Nation Boyce, shared honorS with
Miss Ware.
The second number included
Debussy'S En- Bateau, Boccherini's
Allegretto arranged for the violin
by Kreisler, Chopin's Nocturne,
arranged by Wilhelmj and the
Scherzo Tarentellt by WienaSki.

For weeks Washington music
lovers have discussed the local
presentation Of the unfamiliar
opera which has its setting in
France during the revolutionary
period. Its music, its sJoly, its
foreign production was the topic
of universal interest.
Some went through cu~iousity,
others attended because rial en-
gagementS prevented their pres
ence at the opening, others
included Andrea Chenier" be
cause they were attending the
entire series. Be their reasons
what they may, the vehicle was.
indeed, one of the most inspiring,
melodiouSly. beautiful and dra-
matte performances that has been
heard in the Capital City in years.
Stands ON Merit
With the appearance Of such
artists as Rosa Ponsella and Clio
vanni Martinelli in the leading
roles, the endeavor was almost
assured Of success, but Of a
truth the work stands on its own
merit to such a degree that 1t Is
almost impossible to attribute
reasons for its infrequent offer
ings at the Metropolitan.
Miss PonSelle, as Madeleine,
was accorded a personal ovation
upon her stage entrance, for it
is a thing of knowledge that she
is an outstanding favorite with
our concert goerS. AS her
glorious voice rose in the exquisite
passages of her solos and the
drama permitted her opportuni-
ties to disclose histrionic talents
that she has never revealed here
in all her phenomenal career
closer attention was given the
medium through which she I'm
yelled these startling gifts.
OF Senior Martinelli the same
might be said. To the tenor
lead, long and powerful solos are
assigned in which he is able to

ready established fame.
Martinelli distinguished him
self in a character to which he
is remarkably suited. His solos,
exacting much of the singer
found him fresh and vibrant to
the end, marking him q vocalist
Of power and an artist in de.
lineation.
Expansive Sets
A word of praise is also due
Giuseppe De Luca, whose inter
probation of Gerard, leader Of
the revolutioniSts was a vital con-
tribution to the noteworthy per-
Torrance.
Andrea Chenier" is quite ex-
pansive in its scenic effects. One
will not soon forget the charming
opening scene in the Countess de
Coigny's castle. French aristocracy
was never more deliberately de-
picted than in this setting of gold
and crystal. with gay colored cos
tunes filling the stage with pro-
fusion Of rainbow hues.
A gavotte by the ballet is in
cluded in the first act, adding
touch of daintineSs and light
ness to an otherwise heavy drama.
Splendid work by the chorus
deserves mention. Their perfectly
blended voices were spontaneous
and mellow, their actions were
natural and carefully placed.

tors desk. read the score with ex.

viding a splendid background for
the voices of the artists.
